Honey, "It's fine" is girl talk for: You had better not, if you know what's good for you! Anniversary weekend: "Hey hun, me and the guys were planning a fishing trip for this weekend, is that ok?" Her: It's fine. (translation: if you go, I'm changing the locks and calling a lawyer...) This has been a PSA for the clueless guys. You're welcome. 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoWhatNow Posted December 19, 2019 #31 Share Posted December 19, 2019 Paranormal is outside of 'normal'. Our tests are run inside of 'normal'. Same with god. If we were able to test them they would cease to be paranormal or devine and we would have dominion over god... 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would anyone give up the parts of them that are bound to this corrupted reality, like the body, reason, logic and self for something only understood in abstract thought?

This paradigm is not focused on material things that have no hope. No matter what you shift towards you shall then be bound to that idea. Even if its not focused on a material existence, it's still focused on the self and the self can not be vanquished. At least not till death. Cursed place and body, yet how many actively try to make this world and life a better place? No, what you speak of is escapism born out of fear, the fear to live life. Live through the pain, the suffering, and try to make something better for yourself. It is fear of existence that cause people to strive for the holy. Yet, despite that desire those who wish godly things are always lacking, always wishing, always desiring. Never to be satisfied. It's just another hell they've created. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is only escapism if I could change my body into a spirit and leave this place. But just like you I am living this life, and will die. When you talk about always lacking, wishing and desiring that is the material self speaking. The body is selfish and is bound, always desiring, but the spirit can be selfless, free and content. As one grows in importance the other diminishes, it is up to the individual where to draw the line. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its not something that can hardly be noticed, it is very powerful (scary). For instance when watching a live beach camera, extremely large waves start forming and crashing against the shores. And it seems to be getting more powerful over time. This might be the first case of paranormal existence ever. (I can prove these claims, easily!) You can prove...there are waves...at the beach? 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As one grows in importance the other diminishes, it is up to the individual where to draw the line. Then you've bound yourself to an idea. That idea is of the flesh being corrupt and the spirit pure. So let me break this down for you. The flesh is our mortal vessel, the spirit is motive force (bioelectric energy created from food sources), the soul is consciousness. This is one single unit. Once it dies, all of it dies. The only thing you have is the now, this one continuous moment. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jodie.Lynne Posted December 21, 2019 #47 Share Posted December 21, 2019 13 minutes ago, SoWhatNow said: . But just like you I am living this life, and will die. And there, is the quintessential need for belief: the fear of death and dissolution. One is born into a world that has existed before your arrival. One lives for a time, and then dies. The world goes on without you. For example. You get a job at a major corporation that has been around since before you were born, You work there for 20 years, do good work, and receive the rewards of your efforts. Then you retire. Does the company fold because you left? Nope. It was making profits before you came along, and will probably continue after you're gone. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
