The Astrologer said:On the whole Susanna I agree with your comments, surely though it is every-ones duty to protect and preserve animals and the environment for our offspring.As a Christian (an aging one of no fixed church movement) I remember the o…
I agree with BastetAsshur. I believe that everything that is ALIVE is in a special state of being, and has a soul. I think they are equal with us in that our kinds of intelligence are merely different. They are, in essence, non-human races.
I, for…
I agree with this. Sweeping judgements don't help anyone. Though our beliefs sit there through investigation and learning anyway :-)
It isn't up to us to decide who has a soul and who doesn't, just like it isn't up to us to invent God, or Gravity. We observe and report what we find revealed to us, both through our own investigation, and that which is revealed to us by entities ot…
That's cool. Quotes can't really be altered. I just wanted to throw a bit of awareness of that issue in to the discussion :-)
Since reality is created in our brains, and our understanding is percieved as experinces either thoughs or actions.
Then does all life have a spirit? YES This is needed to percieve life.
The spirit and the soul are not the samething there is no way…
I try to use humankind most of the time, but got stuck in the terminology used in the Genesis quote and couldn't get out... My apologies.
It would be nice if we used the terms people, humans, us, our rather than man, men, him, he when referring to all people. This would include women who comprise half the population.
Profile Information
- What religion, if any, do you adhere to?
- No. I have my own beliefs that are constantly evolving.
- At least 3 subjects I am interested in.
- Religious Interests: Esoteric. Occult. Many wide and varied beliefs are of interest to me. Many disciplines that would not be described as religion per/se interest me.
Science Interests: String theory. Holographic universe theory. Theory of everything. Anatomy & Physiology. Supporting evidence for theories of interest.
As the saying goes, "Inquiring minds want to know." I have an extremely broad range of interests that will probably emerge in conversation.
- My Mythos -
- I shy away from the word 'god' (which I refuse to capitalize) due to the archetypal imagery of 'the old guy in the sky'. I also dislike the gendering of deity/spirit.
I'm not sure how to describe an entire personal mythos in a small amount of text and may have to update this section. I'm sure everyone here has encountered that too.
I've studied formally and informally both religion & science, as I guess many here would have. I feel both are topics without beginning or end that require constant revision & learning. There really is no such thing as 'know that stuff now' - lol.
My personally leaning with beliefs is to ask, 'how can that be qualified?', and I readily admit that not all my beliefs can be. Though I do seek to do so.
If asked to categorize my beliefs I call myself an Esoteric Occultist. This is mostly because it's a very loose description that enables a constant evolution of understanding and doesn't box me in to a set of beliefs. It is also because of the texts I've read that I hold in some esteem such as Alice A Bailey, Israel Regardie, Gareth Knight... I think Crowley is interesting if a little (a lot) arrogant :-)
I also follow art as a source of inspiration. I was a Contemporary Dancer and Choreographer for 16 years and so many of my beliefs stem from my experience in performance art. I would say my spirituality is very physically based and I've thus found that if I cannot relate something to the real world I see it as a little pointless (though not entirely). Ways of being such as Quodoshka, yoga, Alexander technique, Somatics, contact improvisation etc are all activities that are seeking beyond the physical/mental while being rooted firmly within these disciplines. These suit me quite well.
There is so much more I could say but wont at this point. I look forward to getting to know everyone.

- Sounds like reading all this crap the people who write these comments are all spaced out on drugs or have drank to much

- Hey really nice. That kind of material is going to be valuable to our cause. It's not enough to lay down this Open Source Religion thing as purely intellectual or mathematical; people need to understand it in prose as well. It's more experiential that way.

doug said… - Briefly, having been raised Catholic, in my teens I began to visit/study many other religions (including various Yogas, hinduism, islam, and "fringe" christian religions, among other things) and I learned that it largely was simply a matter of "works" of one form or another. I was shown the "template" for pure Christianity and accepted it and saw it as far more valid than anything else...and it is without DOING works of anykind. And so I am simply a "born-again" Christian that implicitly believes everything the Bible teaches, which is far more than I ever imagined (and which may sound naive), and which is scientifically sound (I have a Ph D is physical chemistry, though that is not neccesarily here nor there), in that the more that I study it (which I am constantly doing), the more I am convinced that I have found what is true and what is simply simple.

- unfortunately that is true, very often...and people put up walls without realizing it. But each person must speak for themself and be honest for/to themself...and there is often much that influences us, both negative and positive.

Thanks, and welcome
I would like to tell you about saveNaturefree but you can form your own opinion which you would do anyway so click the link and try not to judge it on first impressions.

- That's cool. And as you'll see, if you spend any time here, there are all kinds of people that post comments here...and sometimes it can get pretty intense. Some people are just rather strong about their opinions sometimes. And I guess like anywhere, some people come and go, and others stick around...just like life.

- You can basically "talk" to anyone, or send anyone messages, and jump in on any ongoing discussion or create your own discussion and wait for a response...

BIll, I got so excited when you started to post about nature and here we are on the body/mind duality I completely lost perspective and tried to shoehorn it and that was completely stupid on my part. I have strong views on this and i need to keep th…
Doug
I like your last paragraph. I'm a true lover of the natural world, it includes my field of work. And I am the only person in my community of 9000 with half my front yard with 50+ tall grass prairie plants from seed in my work place. They have b…
I think sweetguy, when we talk about experience and we drift off of that and to that is where the problem is that I have come to realize. So you get one part of a larger picture of where I am coming from as well. That is the limitations of this form…
Kernel,
I mean to state that this is largely the arena that higher education has slowly entrenched intself in. And this has now also become the same arena that "lower" education has also joined. Open mindedness is what education theoretically aimed…
Good comment sweetguy, there are a lot of really good books out there. It does appear our current technology is bring humanity closer to the center of our puzzle rather than the out side fringes, the true picture will begin to emerge. I am really th…

So here is my gravestone to this format and to the talk about enthusiasm.This is no chit chat, mr. Thurman. . Enthusiasm may be like a syren in your ears all the time, and a guy with this inner syren is the guy who will neither listen to anybody, no…
Might I suggest we adjourn this discussion for a moment and move to a more regular forum format where comments can be attached to other comments. IT may be possible, before wrapping up here, to somehow summarize what has come out of this discussion…
So take the sticks to set the rhythm, John. You're good at that.
I just read the how to make our ideas clear. I wasn't sure where I wasn't clear exactly my fault I suppose. I ask for facts and I guess that isn't clear my mistake.
ok ok I will knock it off. i like to tweak people a bit> Sweet I am just playing a bit here you don't know me but i'll rift off a bit just to spark a thought, so take me with a grain of salt ok. although i do like to stick to facts so if we can talk…
David, knock it off for awhile. We will get to you and your individual agendas in a minute. Right now it is important to build a collective agenda. We know you are American and born to lead but for God's sake man stop provoking reactions to meet a p…
You think I missed something? Maybe I did, mr. Thurman, you are so difficult to read sometimes... but it is surely fantastic being the man you are, the father of that shining being! I hope you wlll grasp QM more&more, to unfatomable heights. Do you…
The comment on the comment describing a lily smell.
Coleridge remixed: What if you slept? And what if, in your sleep, you dreamed? And what if, in your dream, you went to heaven and there plucked a strange and beautiful flower? And what if, when yo…
Quantum Biology. I have just started to look more closely at this and of course it makes total sense why didn't someone think of this before. Oh Schrodinger said this in 1951 sorry someone with a clue from the Quantum crowd did say that. Then again…
It's all biology to me Sweeetguy no separation at all. Uncertainty applies as i said clearly. obviously you missed that part.That is complely implied by quantum mechanics. No unless you happen to have an idea based on another fact, to which I am all…
Our modern concept of emperical proofing started in christianity actually. if you are a Resurrection literalist you are an emperical Materialist. The sole basis for even having that in the story was to capture the individual that is emperically mat…
