I agree completely. Fluorescent light ruins a space for me, I relish the time that they get turned off.

Opening the microcosm?? Sounds impressive.

How humans are not physically created to eat meat
Anabhogya-Carya replied to Jedi777's topic in General Discussion
Great article. It makes some interesting points I had not considered before and will now use when ever people question the validity of vegetarianism. Halal and kosher were maybe clean and "humane" in the times they were invented (and in Plauge era Europe... which did not work in the Jews favour). Hence the reason for their invention and people still hold onto them as if they had anything more than a pragmatic purpose. Halal and Kosher meat is still slaughtered in factory farms in most of the west and they do so by hanging the animals of moving conveyer belts of hooks and slitting their throats so that blood does not touch....not exactly a pleasent way to die if you ask me. And they are usaully subject to the same life as other factory farmed animals. -
The world is going to end every year according to somebody.

The UK also are working on a bill that would allow any police and intelligence members to look into your computer without a permit. Hello 1984.

Tracing religion back to its source?
Anabhogya-Carya replied to mewtwo's topic in General Discussion
Define religion. Then we can trace it obscurely and unsuccessfully, the earliest signs in the archaeological records are in connection with what we think is the emergance of abstact thought and symbolism. Religion is an extension, in a sense of those two things. And archaeology is always changing so I would not take any evidence of a beggining as concrete. -
Well thanks, but you did not solve the problem at all.

Daddy Issues and Taoist Psychology
Anabhogya-Carya replied to chrisjswanson's topic in General Discussion
Well from what little knowledge I have about father related psychology, either you identify the father as a challenge (a common theme in western philosophy where one is expected to metaphorically kill there master. And a common theme in many pagan traditions, were a son kills the father) or you have problems with your own father. It also be the attraction of acting as a fatherly figure, the male support role. I myself have tended to date girls the have divorced families and live with there mothers. I personally call it the 'knight in shining armor' effect. I sometimes feel as if it is my male duty to save the girls, make things better for them, be the male power, etc. But please don't take this with anymore than a grain of sand. I know little about this. And I am sure there is something in ancient thought that would be helpful. -
Well yes, I agree. Objectivity is a hard thing to come by no matter your method. The mind is a restriction, but I have problems with the self/mind separation. It is possible that the idea of an independent self, outside the mind, is merely a construct of the mind. As the mind, body, thought centers are all needed to reach such a conclusion in the first place. No doubt there is a driving energy behind the mind (i.e. electricity), but whether this constitutes a 'self' I don't know.

Daddy Issues and Taoist Psychology
Anabhogya-Carya replied to chrisjswanson's topic in General Discussion
I don't know enough to answer, but it sounds like your dealing with something Freud could answer. -
Good decision.

Assuming of course that their is a "yourself" outside of the mind. If not, than your theory fails. And your comment about intellectualizing for 10,000 years; You assume of course that meditation/enlightenment/cultivation are an unquailified good. If after 10,000 years of intellectualizing you come to the objective conclusion that life/existence/everything is inherintly meaningless, than an hour of experience is worth no more. It all depends on what you perceive the goal to be; while not knowing what the goal actually is. And I am merely giving the other side. I think their is great value in meditation, awareness, etc. but maybe not for the same reason that you do

You can buy salvia at all tobaccanists and some corner stores here in Canada. It is definitly not the most intense hallucinogen, but there is very little that can go wrong with salvia.

Window of Opportunity: Q & A from a member of a Ruling Bloodline Family
Anabhogya-Carya replied to Smile's topic in General Discussion
Well not necessarily. I have no idea where the idea of reptilians started but it sure is 'unique.' Atlantis is a terribly misunderstood story. I guess we will have to wait for 2012 to see about the calender (people say the world is going to end every year so I am not betting on it). But History is full of conspiracies and plots. Every now and then governments reveal the dictator's they backed, people they had killed, corporations they allowed to damage our earth, wars they fabricated, viruses they created, etc. These things are not so much diabolical plans to take over the earth (what taking over the earth means I don't think anyone knows), they are just unfortunatly what happens when personal agendas conflict with precieved duties of rulership. Are there plots and hidden plans? Of course there are. Every individual has there own, why would a countries most powerful organizations be any different. As for dimensional theories, they are not far fetched in a quatum physical sense. It is the morons who discuss them on Conspricacy theory, religious, UFO, etc. internet forums that are the problem. Every dumbass who has read about crystal skulls and wormholes on wikipedia thinks they are an expert on the subject. -
how to get ride of unwanted sexual desires?
Anabhogya-Carya replied to mewtwo's topic in General Discussion
With FAAT in your body only a very small niche of people will want to have sex with you anyways. -
Or maybe life is not analogous to graduation, failing, or trying again. Maybe you are a collection of particles that once dead, breaks down into its various parts. OR maybe we all live in eternal bliss, or maybe some completely abstract metaphysical concept that no one has thought of yet happens, or, or, or, countless other ideas and theories. Who knows such things!

Something you must know about Tao Te Ching
Anabhogya-Carya replied to Mak_Tin_Si's topic in General Discussion
There is evidence, if not conclusive evidence, to back areas of both arguments. But have found much more evidence to back the historical inaccuarcy of Lao Tzu. D.C. Lau, in his translation of the Tao Te Ching, goes into detail in his introduction about the associated history of Lao Tzu, and the evidence that leads to the conclusion that he was not a single figure, as do many other scholars. Or, if he was a single figure, did not write the TTC as a whole. Coupled with the idea that Lao Tzu was a individual (Lao Tzu being an honourific title of course) are tales (passed down) of a miraculous birth and other supernatural events associated with him, are we to believe this as well? And again, many stories about great individuals and great events were passed down and written down, that does not make them reliable, or grant that they are even interpreted correctly. See, Genesis, Gilgamesh, Bhagavad Gita, King Arthur, etc. -
I realized after moments of viewing your post... that it was nothing more than belief and not knowledge.. too bad, I was excited for a moment.

Anabhogya-Carya replied to Mak_Tin_Si's topic in General Discussion
o yes, because a tale is passed down in obscurity it makes it much more likely. I guess the whole corpus of mythology has just become a credible source of history. -
For those it has passed by.. "Hua Hu Ching"
Anabhogya-Carya replied to picnic's topic in General Discussion
Yes, but Mak Tin Si said that "Taoism gave birth to Buddhism." Either he said it wrong, or what he is saying is wrong.
