there is no mechanistic explanation for telekinesis. .

There are actually many scientific proposals of a mechanism for telekinesis.

For its framework the current ones use quantum entanglement.

Also an interesting book by Dean Radin "Entangled Minds"

Just google for Dean's credentials incase you think he's some sort of "pretend" scientist.

Actually it says "philosophy and spirituality".......you do know that some of the most widely read works of philosophical writing were done by atheists right?

We have:

Engels
Hume
Lenin
Marx
Nietzsche
Rand
Russell
Kant

We belong here just like everybody else. Attack the ideas by all means....feel free.

Um, Kant, Nietzsche and Russell have never called themselves atheists, and if you'd read their work you would see they are anything but (not so much Russell mind, he always considered himself agnostic).
 
I am my own god. And I don't mean to say that I worship myself, though it's good to have such self esteem. I mean that since I believe (and KNOW in my flesh and bones) that EVERYTHING is part of the same whole, I know that I have control over everything.

It's simply a matter of forcing my "rational" brain to let go of my "self" so that I can bend "reality" to my will. I've already done it in several ways, as odd as it may sound, but I no longer eat or sleep, except for show so my friends and family don't freak out. And even when I put on the show, I sometimes do it wrong, like I'll forget to cook food that clearly needs to be cooked.

I'm not sure that really fit into what you were looking for as an answer in this thread, but I'm pretty sure it gave you something to mentally masticate. So be your own god.

I love you all.

Oh, and to all those who identify with atheism; you happen to be on the exact opposite end of the spectrum as the devout religious--you believe profusely in something that can neither be proven nor disproved. Try the open minded approach; anything is possible.

I love you all.

zomg, we got a breathairian in our midst! :D how long can you go without food?
 
I pretty much eat once a week out of habit, but if I'm around people and they know I'm not eating, they get freaked out so I eat more often, like once a day, or once every other day. And I sleep occasionally because I'm just bored at night and again, its habit. It's really convenient.
 
crooked letter, as a student doctor, that level of asceticism gives me the heebie-jeebies, I won't lie. Are you SURE a spiritual path that almost certainly will shorten your life considerably is the right one for you?

I certainly appreciate the concern that you, as well as everyone else, has been showing, and in keeping my family and friends from freaking out, I am making sure I eat and sleep like a "normal" person would, just a little less often. Thanks for watchin out for me :)

I love you all.

which technique do you use?
Click to expand...

I wish I could say I had a technique but it really boils down to one instant moment a few days ago that just completely changed my life. I'm going to write about it more in depth, probably in my blog, hopefully soon, but it's very difficult for me to explain it in words so I often just ramble with no real direction. So once I figure out HOW to explain it, in more detail than "I have a life changing experience," I'll certainly post it to my blog and perhaps a relative forum thread. Keep an eye open for it, if you're interested.

I love you all.

If you haven't seen it, you haven't been looking. I just posted some examples.

And dude, I am not sensitive. I really don't care what people are saying to me, as I have already stated more than once. That was never the issue. I was just upset that I was warned and lectured from MyDoorsAreOpen while everyone else got a free pass. If it was up to me, people should be able to say whatever they want.

Enlitx, I'm ALL for freedom of speech, but the few who abuse the privilege--those who make others feel uncomfortable and inadequate in this place where we should feel at home--ruin it for everyone else. I'm not saying anyone in particular, just commenting on the last line of what you had said. I'm glad though that you got the mods off your back because it certainly was unfair.

I love you all.

Well, I do believe there are probably things that exist which are beyond human comprehension.

After all, we only have five sense. Take one of those away and think of all things we could never possibly have any knowledge of. Try explaining color to a blind guy.

This is a correct attitude. Discussions where the intention of one side is merely to force their opinions on the other is known as Jalpa. In a true discussion free of Jalpa each side is surely after the truth, whatever it may be.

Having said that I will jump in here and say that the problem with these "god" discussions is that "Consciousness" is seen as an adjective, or a quality of matter. All philosophy systems either take this stance or "Consciousness" and "Matter" are given equal billing as it were.

Whereas to understand the topic better, it should at least be considered that "Consciousness" as we usually term it, can be looked at from an entirely different perspective where "Consciousness" is the substantive and "Matter" is the subordinate.

God, if you like to use the term, is none other than "Consciousness" which is in fact all that there is. Everything, Time, Space, Matter, Mind, Body, is but a form of Consciousness, or God, if you will. Remember this is not "Consciousness" as we usually know it, as an adjective.

First of all, none of us is really SURE about the path we choose to take.
We all try our best, but there are no certainties out there.
Those of us who seek truth above all else would risk a shorter life if it means attaining the truth.
However-
Will such a path reduce C.L.'s lifespan? Doubtful. Actually, limited caloric intake is closely associated with LENGTHENED lifespan in mice. This makes perfect sense, too - as Vonnegut says, our bodies are basically a bunch of tubes that get worn out from use. Reducing eating reduces the stress on the tubes.

My friends and I have already experienced some of these "extra" senses. A friend of mine, RJ, confided in me that he sees something like an aura around all people, even when he's not under the influence of anything. He described it as a static-y haze around people, in either blue or red, but when he was on shrooms, he saw us as purple, which he didn't realize is the combination of blue and red, until I told him. Anyway, we've just all got to accept that absolutely ANYTHING is possible, not just what we're taught is possible.

I love you all.

This is it, I would say.

Or maybe "anything that we are open to is possible".
When we just can't accept certain possibilities, we are blind to them.
It's as if such a situation couldn't exist, for us, and we scramble to make sense of something outside our (largely self-imposed) limits.
We assign some story to "explain" the phenomenon in a way that doesn't challenge our dearly-held beliefs.
We will struggle to maintain our fears, our insecurities.
We will struggle to maintain our worldview.

If a thief walking down the road meets the Buddha,
all s/he can see are the Buddha's pockets.

The eye can only see what the mind is prepared to comprehend.

The limits of our vision are the limits of our reality.
