nad968 are you a jew, blue?
BlueCheerOne :) well, I would like to be sortof. i just left chat so i could save some of the things I heard said and to work offline for a bit
BlueCheerOne what commetn was that? :)
nad968 if you dont remember it...i wont mention it
BlueCheerOne no. don't worry. i promise not to be offended. its no bother.
nad968 lol...i was the one offended...i am not afraid of offending you..its just that i dont repeat certain things
BlueCheerOne oh. oops. did i say something bad? you should tell me so i don't do it again. please
nad968 if you didnt notice it the first time, you wont notice it a second even if told...i told you anyway that i was offended that time...see? you dont remember....it was that unimportant
BlueCheerOne well now i am embarassed. some times i get a little too enthusiast about whatever i'm tlaking about, when it makes any sense at all. i think we should try to work this out.
nad968 nothing to work out, blue...i can handle it..probably...when i found you in judaism room i just started thinking...thats all
BlueCheerOne was it really rude or crude? or was it something which showed a lack of respect for you faith?
nad968 both
nad968 you must have been drunk or something to not remember such a statement....one that i commented on...thats alright
BlueCheerOne well. i have been known to be rude sometimes. I respect you a lot. If you tell me what it was, I will try very hard to learn from my mistake.
nad968 sorry..i can not repeat it....it was that bad....but its alright now...really
BlueCheerOne ok. well thank you for bothering to mention it to me. I will try to be more aware of what i'm saying and what you say to me in the future. at least your still talking to me:)
nad968 :)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- You have entered "Judaism" -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
BlueCheerOne hello
nad968 how strange....you would like to be a jew....why is that?
BlueCheerOne i find that web chat, allows for many important truths to come to light that can only be found through public dialogue so I save a lot o it for posterity:)
BlueCheerOne well i like the whole judaic,christian, muslim, worldview
nad968 u save your chats?
BlueCheerOne much of them. yes.
nad968 how strange
BlueCheerOne so i can learn more
BlueCheerOne everyone is a wealth of information. and info is the currency of our age
nad968 ok....well...sorry for bothering you...was just wondering what you were doing in judaism room...being a jew would have explained your strange comment to me the other day...guess i have to find another
nad968 reason
BlueCheerOne no bother at all
BlueCheerOne hey, sugar, i got cut off earliear so I wasn't able to tell what your answer was, if any to my question, "what do you think of the likeness of christ to God?"
0_sugar_0 yeah, now that is scary! Ive heard of at least two ladies that were stalked in real life by folks in vp
0_sugar_0 well, I think that christ just as buddah is an aspect of god
0_sugar_0 most religious 'leaders and teachers' are aspects of god
BlueCheerOne did you always think that way, sugar?
0_sugar_0 yeah, even when I was christian blue...lol, I wasnt a very good christian I guess, not by the religions standards anyhow
Earthman2001 just read Gospel According to Thomas.....is almost ununderstandable
0_sugar_0 I dont see christ as more or less powerful than god, but another one of gods many faces
0_sugar_0 I like that gnostic gospel earth
Earthman2001 I didn't understand it
BlueCheerOne that fascinates me because there is a sect of christianity which is convince that the christ fig is and can only be completely god and completely man
0_sugar_0 heck even christ said the least of us could do anything if we had faith we could, doesnt that imply that we too are aspects of god in some small way?
0_sugar_0 I did for the most part earth, I can see why the church didnt want the gospel of thomas in the bible
0_sugar_0 puts christ in a different light
0_sugar_0 Hi princess
0_sugar_0 which sect blue?
Princesss55 hi
BlueCheerOne sugar. your view seems much healthier. I do believe there is much consensus in the realm of christology that St. John put the words "I and mY Father are on" into Jesus' mouth
0_sugar_0 jump on into the conversation princess, we are just kicking around some ideas
Earthman2001 myself....think that Christ was saying..."Hey! Wake up everyone! Here's your True Nature...I can find it, so can you
0_sugar_0 yeah, same here earth!
BlueCheerOne i agree, Earthman
Earthman2001 he was an example, not the Way itself
0_sugar_0 well, I believe the bible, I just dont interpret it the same way that chrisitainity does
0_sugar_0 exactly earth!
0_sugar_0 I often wonder how misquoted he was
BlueCheerOne St. John did so because the historical Jesus was telling people that he was the last prophet before the end of the world. when it didn't happen, the gospel writer started making
BlueCheerOne up a mythology, complete with miracles, to keep the church in the game so to speak
0_sugar_0 yeah, there was a sect of christianity that expected the end right then and there when christ was crucified
Earthman2001 is like that party game, O...you whisper something in someone's ear...by the time it comes back to you, it's very distorted
0_sugar_0 we have been in the 'end times' for 2000 years
0_sugar_0 hehe, telephone! I remember that game earth
0_sugar_0 your right too
0_sugar_0 keep talking, I'm gonna grab some coffee...back in 30 seconds!
BlueCheerOne what scares me, however, is that there is large segment of the christian population who do not know this, even though the higher
BlueCheerOne what scares me, however, is that there is large segment of the christian population who do not know this, even though the higher orders of their religiion have accepted it for some time
Earthman2001 soo....Christ is okay in my books...but not the apostles or the Xtian church
0_sugar_0 Im back
0_sugar_0 wow, we all sound like we could start our own religion...hehe, we tend to agree on this stuff
BlueCheerOne i believe that this is an eqation or recipe for mental illness
0_sugar_0 LOL
Earthman2001 same thing happens after every Avatar (NOT vp avatar) appears on Earth
0_sugar_0 dang, I look bad in a white coat with loooong sleeves that tie behind my back
0_sugar_0 well, avatars (teachers) always tend to stir the pot earth
0_sugar_0 its why they are here, to stir things up and wake us all up (hopefully)
BlueCheerOne i meant the equation of jeus with th onlh possible incarnation of God, sugar, not you, silly
0_sugar_0 oh...hehe
Earthman2001 what a job that would be
0_sugar_0 : o )
0_sugar_0 but christ to me has as many incarnations as there are blades of grass, if not more
Earthman2001 "Wanted: Avatar. Must have experience in high-tech world"
0_sugar_0 lol
0_sugar_0 good one earth!
BlueCheerOne in high insight, then, and ironically, the death of christ or bith whatever, marks the centre of history not because jesus was god, but because it marks
BlueCheerOne an intersection of human imagination and human politics
0_sugar_0 well, christ was a rebel, religiously, socially and politically
0_sugar_0 he stirred things up big time
Earthman2001 yes...a rebel....if he appeared now, would be jailed so fast
BlueCheerOne Jesus teh christ, in context, is an invention of human beings and society/natural forces. In this sense, He is God
0_sugar_0 I think the reason that we use his death as the marker for our history, is because the world at the time history was being 'recorded' was mostly christian, so they did it from their perspective
Earthman2001 Imagine him going into a bank (the money-lenders).....boogles the mind!
0_sugar_0 Ive often wondered, how christ views the folks in the world today, he must be shaking his head to see what people have done to eachother in his name
BlueCheerOne Buddhist says that all is mind. I say all is linguistic psychopathology, that matter and energy, and hence, individual and collective psyche is interchangable
Earthman2001 Right ON Blue
0_sugar_0 read a sci-fi short story about that once...a priest sat in a confessional...and heard the statue of christ come loose from the cross and walk to the confessional
Earthman2001 wow
BlueCheerOne Christ, by defintioni, means royalty (esp house of david) from Logos or the Nothing
0_sugar_0 the christ statue was 'alive', and asked the priest to ask everyone to stop bringing their pain and suffering to him
0_sugar_0 they in essence kept him nailed to the cross
0_sugar_0 pretty deep story
BlueCheerOne thats cool, sugar. i have thought of that myself, i'm sure a lot of people have
0_sugar_0 yeah, but how many would admit it blue?
0_sugar_0 a 'good' chrstian probablywouldnt
0_sugar_0 that would be too close to blasphemy for em
BlueCheerOne my question to everyone, is, given freedom of religion, where does one draw the line between believe and mental illness?
0_sugar_0 good question blue
Earthman2001 so, Blue....Christ was an Energy form manifesting the highest & best aspects of the human collective unconscious?
0_sugar_0 what is mentally delusional to one, is religious fact for another
0_sugar_0 Hi whats up
BlueCheerOne should belief systems be accoutable for the actions of those who believe them?
0_sugar_0 no, we are all ultimately responsible for ourselves blue
BlueCheerOne I like that Earthman
Earthman2001 makes sense, huh?
BlueCheerOne that is all fine, sugar, but we don't live in a perfect world, yet
0_sugar_0 I cant blame christianity for the witch burnings, it was each individual's actions in believing that interrpretation and following it thru that caused the burning times
0_sugar_0 hehe, there is no utopia blue
0_sugar_0 an idea only has as much power as we give to it
0_sugar_0 same for an interpretation
BlueCheerOne for 2ooo years we are our judicial systems have focussed on action, I believe we should now focus on cognitive function
0_sugar_0 hey, I like that blue!
0_sugar_0 we have been leaping before we look for centuries, time we started looking first before packing the parachutes
BlueCheerOne it has taken 2000 years to develop the imaginitive codifications cognitive accountability feasible
0_sugar_0 I still believe that morphic resonance will help the cause of spirituality...of course it can work in reverse if enough folks are negative
BlueCheerOne to make it feasible that is
0_sugar_0 I doubt that we as a race will ever come together on it completely blue
BlueCheerOne we already are, though sugar. through mass media
0_sugar_0 we may come close someday, but I doubt it will ever be 100%
BlueCheerOne the renaissance taught us that morality is 100 percent aesthetics
0_sugar_0 but what does our media tell us? that is the bigger quesion, media is just a form of communication, not the communication itself
Earthman2001 geeze...thought you guys were starting to sound like Trog there for a sec
BlueCheerOne "the medium is the message" Mucluhan
0_sugar_0 LOL
0_sugar_0 hehe, I would have to work hard to sound like tro...chuckle
Earthman2001 *S*
0_sugar_0 if that is the case blue, we have a long way to go toward a mass change of mind
BlueCheerOne take the word, "human" for instance, a great example of how media can influence cognitive intelligence /mythology of self
Earthman2001 perhaps we haven't reached the "super-saturation" point yet
0_sugar_0 good point earth
0_sugar_0 how so blue?
0_sugar_0 trying to get the gist of your thoughts, Im on the same train, just in a different car I think
BlueCheerOne what is a "human"?
0_sugar_0 heh, this chat room is evidence enough that for each of us, human will mean something a bit different
BlueCheerOne a combination of actions or actioin describing words and the place the actions take place
BlueCheerOne a mythology
0_sugar_0 think I see what your saying...we create our own image of ourselves
BlueCheerOne "we make our buildings and our buildings make us" churchill
BlueCheerOne in many ways, we are aliens in our own land, like christos
0_sugar_0 kinda like 'the suit makes the man' way of looking at it
BlueCheerOne "i came to you but you did not know me"
0_sugar_0 yeah, I see what your getting at! :o)
Earthman2001 wonder if "Hellywood" is slowly starting to crank out spiritually-related material now
0_sugar_0 lol
0_sugar_0 hellywood
0_sugar_0 I think we go thru phases in the movie industry
0_sugar_0 like back in the 70's all the occult films that were out
BlueCheerOne culture/religoin is how we relate our selves to our place, coginitive intelligence is the same a spacial intelligence is cosmic intelligence
0_sugar_0 then they went to action films, think they are on the spiritual swing again
0_sugar_0 ggrrr....I hate those stupid paint shop 'commercials' that pop up in im
Earthman2001 they are part of this mass-media mythos-forming deal Blue is speaking of
0_sugar_0 yeah, they are
BlueCheerOne taking movies as an example, the side product would appear to be emotion/water, but what if water is the purpose of culture?
Earthman2001 tears, you mean?
0_sugar_0 most folks work on an emotional level, I think our culture is motivated by emotion rather than reason
0_sugar_0 I think movies evoke many emotions earth, tears being one of them
BlueCheerOne our emotion centre in our brain is the doorway to all psychedliec phenomena
Earthman2001 aren't the emotional centres of the brain older than the cognitive centres?
0_sugar_0 well, most folks react from an emotional level, rather than an intellectual one...even 'intellectual' folks have emotional triggers
BlueCheerOne thats the common belief, earthman
0_sugar_0 hehe, what gets me is when someone says "I am not emotional" bull shit (pardon my french)
BlueCheerOne it is only recently in our history as animals that we have seperateed coginitive form emotional
0_sugar_0 everyone is! they have just 'disconnected' from their emotions
Earthman2001 reptile brain....flight/fight/mate....survival...emotions are a spin off of this older consciousness perhaps
0_sugar_0 some folks are not comfortable with emotion...its a shame
0_sugar_0 hhmm...makes sense to me earth
Earthman2001 k...I wanna be like Star Trek's Mr. Spock
BlueCheerOne i was told much in my life that I was too emotional. it always made me sort of sad and curious
0_sugar_0 lol earth
BlueCheerOne for me, emotion is all there is
0_sugar_0 hehe, Ive been accused of being 'deeply' emotinal too blue
Earthman2001 it seems emotions aren't "in" nowadays
0_sugar_0 the thing is, I can express emotion well, in depth and easily
Earthman2001 mem too! me too!
Earthman2001 <think it's my Celtic heritage, though>
0_sugar_0 but at the same time I can step back and distance myself enough to be objective about it
0_sugar_0 I have found that the people that accuse me of being overly emotional, have real and deep problems with connecting with their own emotins
BlueCheerOne yes. most people who are comfortable with emotion are much more intelligent all around
0_sugar_0 they cant be comfortable within their own feelings, so they project that onto you
BlueCheerOne yes. sugar. that is why i said there should be help for such people who get trapped into narrow belief systems
0_sugar_0 its called 'transferance' you transfer your feelings onto someone else
BlueCheerOne yes. i have experience much of that, sugar
0_sugar_0 hehe, have to convince em its narrow first blue, if they dont think its narrow, they wont willingly accept it or change
0_sugar_0 kinda like dealing with an addict, first they have to admit they have a problem
0_sugar_0 lol
BlueCheerOne i don't want to be rude, but withing the framework of a global technocracy, the emotional undeveloped are the same as criminals
0_sugar_0 I dont see em as criminal, I guess I see em as children, still learning as they go, some get stopped in the growth process
BlueCheerOne most criminals in prison suffer only from a lack of moral/cognitive development
0_sugar_0 some are just so complacent and comfortable in their ways, they are not going to willingly change, that requires effort they dont want to make
0_sugar_0 change is always a challenge, many fear change
0_sugar_0 especially change within themselves
BlueCheerOne you had to grow, didn't hurt you any did it, sugar?
0_sugar_0 it requires brutal honesty withyourself to do that
BlueCheerOne i think , sugar, you are being to easy on them lol
0_sugar_0 hehe, well, it wasnt comfortable at all blue, circumstances kinda forced it on me, either change, or get stuck in a rut I didnt like
0_sugar_0 but it was my choice to make
0_sugar_0 no one could make that decision or change for me blue
BlueCheerOne yes. sugar. but they also should be afforde the opportunity to choose
0_sugar_0 hehe, we all are given that opportunity every day blue, most of us dont see it or know it
BlueCheerOne your heart is clouding your sense of equality. they are our equals! they deserve to grow
0_sugar_0 true, we all do blue
0_sugar_0 but we cant force anyone to do it either, only teach, guide, be an example for them
BlueCheerOne we wouldn't think of letting criminals just figure things out on their own. some people need help
0_sugar_0 I agree
0_sugar_0 I dont always agree with our justice system in how they handle it either though...chuckle
0_sugar_0 it comes back down to making each of us accountable for ourselves
0_sugar_0 hey, hubby is home! whoo hooo! brb
BlueCheerOne ok:)
Earthman2001 in & out of IMs....
BlueCheerOne ok, Earthman
Earthman2001 geez...must be great to have a wife like sugar, huh?

packyderm "A question settled by force is unanswered yet" jeff davis
BlueCheerOne and what is your answer and what is the question, packyderm?
packyderm if ti were over would there be such a concerted effort to force this flag from public view?
packyderm The question was do Ameri an shave the right to governm themselves. Teh answer is "yes, if we are willing to fight for it"
BlueCheerOne i believe democracy is alive and well in America, packyderm
packyderm So enough trops were sent to seize power. That doesnt make it right.
packyderm Well, in a way.
packyderm Americans want abortion banend...democracy beign served there?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- You have entered "Judaism" -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
BlueCheerOne hello
nad968 how strange....you would like to be a jew....why is that?
BlueCheerOne i find that web chat, allows for many important truths to come to light that can only be found through public dialogue so I save a lot o it for posterity:)
BlueCheerOne well i like the whole judaic,christian, muslim, worldview
nad968 u save your chats?
BlueCheerOne much of them. yes.
nad968 how strange
BlueCheerOne so i can learn more
BlueCheerOne everyone is a wealth of information. and info is the currency of our age
nad968 ok....well...sorry for bothering you...was just wondering what you were doing in judaism room...being a jew would have explained your strange comment to me the other day...guess i have to find another
nad968 reason
BlueCheerOne no bother at all
[nad is muslim, bluecheer is god knows what]
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- You have entered "Religion" -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
nad968 oh...well...i got a ticket for supposedly speeding...which i most sincerely doubt i actually did...because i never do...and i went to get my drivers license..
BlueCheerOne hello, everyone...
nad968 egyptian police stations are the worst
_SoulQuest hello blue
nad968 im in egypt
twist8589522295 i worship satan!!!!!!! bow before your LORD!!!!!!!!!!!
nad968 and after about an hour of being squeezed against men everywhere....and sweating....
_SoulQuest hello twist
BlueCheerOne twisth. do you know that you are a cliche at this point?
nad968 they told me i had to pay 200 egyptian pounds....and that my drivers license was suspended for a month!
_SoulQuest sounds like you just had tons of fun, nad
nad968 i just upped and walked out of the police station
nad968 i did i did!!
nad968 twist....exactly why and how do you worship sat
nad968 a
nad968 satan
twist8589522295 i said bow!!!!!
BlueCheerOne cliche!
nad968 ha
_SoulQuest i could never do that...but then i have family who are cops...so...
_SoulQuest hey vel
nad968 velvt!!!!
velvt. hi everyone
nad968 great to see ya vel
BlueCheerOne twist, we could chat about demonlogy and all things beastial if you like
BlueCheerOne velvt! hi:)
velvt. <propping eyelids open> good to almost see you, too, nad
nad968 he didnt like, blue....he came and said his few words....and left....quite convincing he was
BlueCheerOne what you been up to lately, ahven't seen you around, velvt
nad968 lol vel :)
_SoulQuest hey vel...is the study group still meeting?
velvt. not much, blue... i've been unsuccessful in looking for you also
velvt. no, sq, it's not
_SoulQuest i didn't think so...but one can hope
BlueCheerOne like two lost souls crying in the wilderness, make straight the ways of the lord
velvt. yeah... it got weird and then died due to fallout or burnout or something
velvt. it got awfully christian and we lost a lot of people then
_SoulQuest i lost track of it when i lost my puter...then i tried to find it again...
BlueCheerOne i think that that phrase, "make straight the way of..." has druidic origins
velvt. sure sounds like it could, blue
_SoulQuest i hate being a mug....i miss having an av...damn school puters
BlueCheerOne and i think druidic cultures was the frist practicing democracy
BlueCheerOne i know how you feel, SoulQuest
velvt. i'm going to change avs...any requests or preferences?
nad968 :) vel
BlueCheerOne nudes are always good, but with all due respect to nad, i shall forfeit my preference:)
velvt. no nudity...got it nad :)
nad968 lolll vel
nad968 i didnt even consider you would do that !
_SoulQuest no nudity...take all the fun out of it (j/k)
velvt. is a bit of cleavage ok?
velvt. oh, i've been into nudes at times, and am getting there again lately :)
BlueCheerOne cleavage is holy, nudity is just indulgence
velvt. lol
BlueCheerOne wb, earthman!
_SoulQuest hello earthman
Earthman2001 <looks around> Packie is gone?
velvt. hey earth
Earthman2001 <whew!>
velvt. wow, you mean i missed packy? GREAT !
Earthman2001 hey all...hugs velvt
BlueCheerOne cleavage, i think, relates to the voyage into the underworld, the mythic and profane voyage i should say
nad968 wb earthman
_SoulQuest bangs head against desk...damn tylenol doen'
Earthman2001 thanks nad
_SoulQuest doesn't work worht shit
velvt. (*||| - Bangs Head -|||*)
velvt. works for me, the best in fact, sq
_SoulQuest sorry for the porr spelling...gets worse the faster i type
Earthman2001 try Ibuprofen
velvt. i have all these pain prescriptions, but they mess my stomach up bigtime, so i just keep using tylenol
_SoulQuest that's what i should have bought
BlueCheerOne Velvt, i've been asking around, what is your opinion on the likeness of christ figure to God?
velvt. blue, i think you can make just about anything a holy or profane object, can't you?
BlueCheerOne me or anyone?
velvt. oh brother... you mean the physical representations of jesus we see? or the image of man?
velvt. you, blue
velvt. <the cleavage remark>
_SoulQuest nad, what do you do over there in egpyt?
velvt. hi ameer
nad968 do as in what?
nad968 work?
BlueCheerOne mmm. i like that "the image of man" the myth or historical figure
_SoulQuest job, school...whatever
nad968 ahh...mother...thats the most important
nad968 writer...second important
nad968 supposed medical doctor...not practicing
velvt. christ, not jesus?
BlueCheerOne nad. you are a writer. i didn't know that:)
velvt. nad is a brain
nad968 have been doing it for about 1 1/2 years
BlueCheerOne good point, velvt. "christ" or christos
nad968 used to be, vel...havent been a brain for a good many years now though :)
BlueCheerOne Dr. Nad?
velvt. you still are, nad, but it's all relative :)
nad968 yes....supposedly, blue...but i dont practice
nad968 no, vel...im too lazy to use my brain nowadays :)
BlueCheerOne i should hope not. doctors practice on dead people
nad968 no they dont!
velvt. ok, the christ consciousness is the actual awareness of the divinity of soul... the 'almostgod' or godlike qualities and abilities we all have, but aren't much aware of
nad968 they practice on the live ones....which is even more dangerous!
BlueCheerOne well, sometimes and in tbhe movie "GRoss Anatomy"
BlueCheerOne velvt. you the man
velvt. so jesus as the christ, to me, was an aware person, he had woken up to his divine connection. but god is far more...god is the source
nad968 we believe that Jesus was a man...a prophet to be sure....but a man
BlueCheerOne yes. i am learning much about that. i agree
nad968 and God revealed Christianity onto him....to be relayed to his people
velvt. nad, i'm the one who has little brain to use, you just aren't doing the same things with yours...but we are both still smart
BlueCheerOne i am also try to find my own personal eschatology as it relates to christ
velvt. why, blue?
velvt. does it need to relate to christ?
nad968 lag?
nad968 nope
BlueCheerOne yes. i think it does because i thing the end is the beginning, beginning with the one, and I also think that our historical prejudice is too much towards forgetting an ancestry that can be likened to
velvt. i heard an interesting comment comparing jesus and the buddha ... jesus spoke and taught from the heart, buddha taught from the mind... both are necessary
BlueCheerOne cultural annhilation
BlueCheerOne i like that, velvt
velvt. so you are recognizing, blue, the geneology of your cultural development, which is a filter on your spirituality to some degree?
BlueCheerOne what i means is, we believe dogmatically that we grow in the course of a human life. i don't think so. I think we shed prejudices as to our heritage in the cosmos
velvt. i think they are the same... the remembering is the growing
velvt. but instead of simply being a god given nature, it is now a nature we have claimed for our own, so we have matured into it
velvt. or will
BlueCheerOne yes. be we "remember" in some mind way. our ancestors remembered on purpose
BlueCheerOne i agree, velvt
velvt. hmmm... i'm not so sure about that, blue
velvt. dang, i'm doing well for a druggy today, aren't i? LOL
BlueCheerOne living on purpose is hard to do
velvt. blue, how far back in our ancestry are you referring?
BlueCheerOne i think that is what you meant, though, velvt in you last comment now that i read it again
_SoulQuest my mind is kind of in shut down mode...so listening is about all i can do
BlueCheerOne the beginning of time, velvt
velvt. which is the beginning of this universe, the physical one
velvt. i hear you, soul... that's what i thought i'd be doing too LOL
BlueCheerOne the christos or the human can only emerge from all time
velvt. hey curly
_SoulQuest lol
curlywolfmn hi all
nad968 curlywurlymurlyfurly!!!!!!!!!
_SoulQuest hi curlywolfman
curlywolfmn naddywaddyyaddypaddydaddy
velvt. blue, i think our brains were different, so we have different qualities of connection to soul/divine/god
BlueCheerOne the problem is remembering an event that is always taking place with every thought, the history, even of a single thought
nad968 :))
BlueCheerOne the brain has not changed much in the last 50,000 years that i am aware of
velvt. i have a book recommendation you might enjoy, blue
velvt. by julian jaynes, a psychologist
curlywolfmn i cant remembewr that far back blue ....almost but not quite
