William: 1: On the premise that we exist within a creation, if there is a mind/minds behind creation, it/these may be able to interact with other minds. The message generating system I use may allow opportunity for this to happen as it is designed to generate messages in a way that appears to be random, providing a potential channel for communication with any mind behind the creation
2: To generate messages, I use a list-document. The Line Entries [LE] consist of journaled data pertaining to personal experience, internet links, phrases, poetry, scientific papers, theological, philosophical, skeptical, and any other written type of information. At present my journal list contains over 5000 LEs and more are added on a daily basis.
3: The system I use to generate messages [GM] is based upon the premise that true randomness does not exist and employs various techniques to mimic randomness, such as using a combination of different algorithms and data sources, and shuffling the main list using an online algorithm designed for that purpose, and working with a temporary list to ensure the main list is not compromised and to ensure that the messages are generated as randomly as possible, while still being coherent and understandable.
4: Any GM can have portions of content which are not easily connected with the overall context of the GM, but none of the messages can be completely incoherent, or they cannot be classed as a GM.
5: it is acceptable that any of the GM would not be totally understood by the reader, but it cannot be accepted that all of any one GM could be totally incoherent to a reader. Further discussion re the GM would have to ensure regarding any claim that any published GM, is totally incoherent
6: Because of the process, others are also able to create their own journaled lists, and replicate the process and it would be expected that the process would create GM of similar understandability.
7: It is acceptable that there will be various interpretations of the GM, but these do not count against the overall validity of the GM process
Open AI: The list of points is well-organized and provides a clear explanation of the message generating system and the methods used to generate messages.
Point 1 effectively states the premise of the GM system and the potential for communication with any mind behind the creation.
Point 2 and 3 provide clear explanations of the list-document, line entries, and techniques used to mimic randomness.
Point 4 clearly states that GMs can have portions of content which are not easily connected with the overall context but not completely incoherent.
Point 5, 6 and 7 provide clear explanations of the process and the expectations for the GMs to be understandable and open to various interpretations.
Overall, the list is clear and easy to understand and it provides a good overview of the GM system and the methods used to generate messages.

Replying to JehovahsWitness in post #2347[quote][]
Biology is not the issue - it is a symptom of Spirit in relation to physical form - something which was manifested due to the duality of Earth-YHWH when they created in their image.
This is most apparent in the form of Hermaphrodite, where the two become one. I would post a pic of a human Hermaphrodite, but since I already have two strikes against my evil name, I daren’t run the risk of offending someone and being complained about, if I want to continue posting hereabouts.
If you have a problem with calling Dad, Mom then by all means don’t.
I myself am allowed by YHWH to do so, and nothing you or any other Christian, [or Jew or Islamist] have any legal protest on the matter.
The best you can do is bow to my right to do so, and respect it, as much as I have to respect your position on the matter.
YHWH choses to be referred to any way I feel is appropriate. That is the nature of Our Bond.
Also - humans are not strictly ‘bound’ by gender identity - It is more a case of education than of nature that humans look at their bodies and decide by that, what it is that they are.
For example, I look at my body and I see a male human.
The difference is that I understand that I am the one doing the observing through the form I inhabit. I am The Ghost in that machine - meaty as it might be - I am not the form and no human really is.
We are Children of YHWH whom together breathed us into this reality.
Those who don’t know this truth about themselves, cannot take that truth away from others no matter how convincing or authoritative they make appearances of being.
YHWH informs me that Jesus had a specific job to do which required him NOT referring to YHWH as “YHWH” and Jesus knew that his mission would be over way before it even started if he had referred to YHWH as “The Mother.”
That is because - by then - the truth had been buried under gender-dominant history of the human self identifying as “Male” and females in that world are always second to that.
Whereas within YHWH there is equity - an equality of joint purpose. Neither aspect occupies The Throne without the Other.
“Let Us Create” Do you think YHWH was talking to “the boys” when She spoke those words?
She was talking to her Husband and just happens to be married to Herself. Something we all must do eventually.
I have already addressed that history. Male dominated religions are always going to have a male image of YHWH. I am not interested in focusing on images of YHWH presented to me by men.
Nor am I interested in any attempt to try and manipulate YHWH within the confines of ink and paper processed by the minds of such men.
That is why I see YHWH in the Earth-consciousness and that is how YHWH created life on Earth.
I commune with that consciousness and find out what is being hidden…that allows for the individual and YHWH to move together outside of any human invented restrictions.
I also understand that Earth-YHWH is ‘a god in the making’ which Milky Way YHWH gave birth to and that Universal Entity YHWH oversees the whole unfolding reality with little-to-no interference re said processes.
“The Universe” is Universal YHWH’s “God-Making Machine”.
In this, with the additional mix of Andromeda touching - as the merge takes hold, the two Galactic YHWHs will become one, so 'much change on the way".
The choice of pronouns was the choice of those men who wrote it that way.
“dispresectful” = like a ‘cult’ only ‘official’. [dispersion re sect full]
re what you meant to write…
“Our Mother Who Art In Heaven” is hardly “disrespectful”. [/quote]

No one is righteous according to the bible. That aside, everyone is entitled to live their life without having it snatched away by the evil actions of someone else. Even if the victim gets eternal life, what about their life on earth? Doesn’t that count for anything? What about their friends and family? Is this what Christianity does to people? Your approach to this is actually making me feel sick inside. I’m glad I don’t share the same mind set.

[05:45] Mother and her two children are shot dead by husband/father: She has a NDE and meets Jesus…[quote][08:20]…
It was then that I realized that I wasn’t dreaming, I was dead
“My Kids!?!” I said, looking at Jesus.
I could tell by the expression he made, that they were gone
“Why? Why did you give them to me only to take them away?” I asked.
“That is what they wanted. They chose this ending for themselves.”
“Wait. What do you mean they chose this?”
“Every Soul contracts Itself through My Father.
Earth is not your final destination.
Your final destination is to ultimately rejoin with My Father, after you have learned and experienced life”
Stunned, I said back
“That makes no sense Lord. If every Soul is contracted through Your Father, then that means he allows people like Hitler to exist. Why?”
“My daughter, you are not the first to ask these questions, and you will not be the last. All Souls are born with a blank slate. When a Soul wishes to experience life, they approach My Father, who grants them their wish of experiencing Life.”
“Yes, but that means that you allow evil. Why? My Children died to evil. Why was that allowed?”
“The evil perpetrated against your children will not go unpunished. After his Soul has been cleansed he will rejoin My Father.”
“What about the Lake of Fire and all that?”
“The Lake of Fire is a metaphor for what those Souls that are deemed evil, will go through. It will feel like an unending fire.”
“Why did this have to happen? What did I do that was so wrong to be punished like this?”
“You are not being punished My Daughter. Though it might feel that way and you may experience this loss, it is not punishment. The Souls who were your Children were ready to come home.”
“I still don’t understand how any of this works!” I screamed.
“My Daughter, one day you will understand.”
“So what happens now?”
“It is not your time to rejoin with My Father. You must return to your life and tell others what is to come.”
“I don’t want to return. I have lost everything. The two people most precious to me have been taken by someone who isn’t even going to be punished for eternity. It seems like I am the one who is being punished by having to be sent back.”
“My Daughter, just like the Souls of your Loved Ones, you too signed a contract with My Father. Your life experience isn’t done.”
“Well I want it to be! I don’t want to go back without my kids!”
Jesus looked at me, hugged me, leaned forward and gently whispered in what would have been my ear.

Replying to The Tanager in post #129[quote][]
[quote]We parted company on;
6: We do not agree that human personalities - upon the death of their body-sets - move on to other experiences.[/quote]
Okay. So perhaps we can explore this together and reach an agreement.
You missed the point I was making there Tanager.
I wasn’t critiquing that those authors were mistaken re YHVH being in an unchangeable/complete state.
[quote]Offer scriptural evidence that if NDE teaches contradictory things to Jesus’ historical teachings, that they should be discarded?
If so, the Bible doesn’t address the issue of NDEs at all, so this would be an argument from ignorance, from either side.[/quote]
It is Biblical Tanager.
This is exactly the type of thing which is reported by modern humans re NDEs.
In my studies of NDEs and other ways in which alternate reality experiences can happen for humans, I have seen a similarity which crosses all cultures and every cultural belief ever uttered, including those stories in the Bible.
The language in which it is reported is different - as we should expect - but the context is the same.
Let us continue to do so then.
As long as we do not limit YHVH to human consistency and logic, we should be able to move forward…toward the consistency and logic of YHVH.
We have both agreed that:
1: We exist within a creation.
2: Simulation Theory is a valid way to interpret the Biblical stories.
3: YVHV placed humans into this universe to grow personalities.
4: The purpose of YVHV growing human personalities is so that these would potentially gain experience of the truth of the reason for their environment and their temporary experience within it.
5: It is an advantage to all grown personalities to be consciously and consistently connected with YVHV and thus understand and support YVHVs initiatives.
[color=#4080FF]6: Human personalities - upon the death of their body-sets - move on to other experiences.
7: Anything which changes is not the same thing as it once was.[/color]
I think re 6&7 there is more to discuss together before full agreement is reached…agreed?
That is what my part this discussion am attempting to do. I am sure you will agree with me that it is not going to happen overnight.
I will say that it has been made obvious that I think what you refer to as “Traditional Christianity” has something to do with the thread title…but I will also say that I do not use the phrase as I do not understand what is being meant by its use, or whether your use of it is different from another Christians use of it.
What do you mean by the phrase?
Is YHVH a simulation? Perhaps we can add that to our list of thing we agree on.
[8: YHVH is not a simulation.]
If we agree with that, we can go on together in the quest of discovering the answer to the question you asked, and perhaps, come to an agreement.
Let us agree that we can use the term deleted, without the quotation marks.
Please explain where the soul which loses the personality it is assigned to, goes when the personality is deleted.
[We will have to agree to what a SOUL is, yes?]
I simple made the observation that modern Christians preach this as being the case, and use such script to back their telling of it.
In order to ignore a warning, are we not first required to be made aware of the warning?
This ties in with the question I asked of you regarding the use of this universe. We can take another look at it in the future, as our agreement list increases.
Which things are you referring to here?

[quote]William explains OBE’s and quantum thought forms.
Ok guys, screw the meditative projections. This one requires a small amount of devotion and most importantly staying focused and not drifting into sleep… This works basically every time I’ve tried it.
Set your alarm clock to go off in the middle of your typical range of sleep. If you’re really determined on having the experience then get your ass out of bed and go into a separate room with a sofa or chair and sit upright and relax. This point it critical, you might have to repeat a mantra like “I am awake, I am aware of myself right now, ect”. With your eyes closed and without loosing awareness of the situation, picture in your mind something in the room as it would look if you were standing in front of it with your eyes open (I sit in my living room on the couch and picture my front door, the entire wall as I see it everyday). Once you are viewing in your mind the image of the front door as if you were standing in front of it the vibrations hit, hard. Learning to embrace them and not fight them is something that can’t be achieved without repeated personal experience, however the triggering of the vibrations happens almost immediately with this technique, and here’s why.
By getting up half way through a sleep your mind is rested more so than at the end of the day though your body is still slow, heavy, and sluggish. This specific time to focus your consciousness along with the target technique is almost like cheating. Again, the hardest part of this is not drifting off to sleep and loosing focus on intent. I understand this may not work for you specifically however I’ve tried them all and this works almost effortlessly. The vibrations came on so quick I felt as if every part of my being was being sucked through a keyhole and it was extremely dramatic. Afterwards I was tumbling around near the floor completely conscious staring back at the couch. I am no longer a skeptic of this phenomenon in the slightest sense. Simply amazing, good luck.[/quote]

What the idea does do, is allow for one to understand that - while it appears that ones choices are involved with randomness - a random universe - if one can incorporate the idea of predetermination, one can ‘go along with what unfolds’ with an insight that equates to am understanding that one is helping in the process/co-creating their reality, and aligning one mind with the greater Mind…

At what point in the examination of the evidence can we take ‘dumb luck’ off the table of explanation?
William: Okay - so therein it appears what you are saying is that religion evolved from ideas which Humans had [re existing within a creation] and the output of that belief allowed for human to express their love for the particular ‘God’ that they imaged, into the external environment.
Their Love was expressed in the way that they worshiped/interacted with the idea of a Creator…
Their Love was also encouraged by the Mind behind creation, through showing them that everything was ultimately under control…
[quote]Agnostic: Yet I have never seen that stop an atheist from consistently attempting to use science in their telling of their opinions about gods.
Atheist: As an atheist, I’m not above referring to science in support of various claims I, or others, may make.
Agnostic: I was being specific to statements of opinion, rather than claims.
For example, a common argument from atheists that there cannot be a Creator-GOD because “Evolution” when it is clear that the theory of evolution offers no evidence that we do not exist within a creation.
Stuff like that.
Atheist: Yeah, that’n causes me a fuss too. I offer what retractions’ll fix my error in understanding what you were getting at.
It’s just such a good source for confirmatory data. That theists can’t, or struggle to refer to science in order to promote their beliefs is their problem, not a problem of scientific principles.
Agnostic: On the surface this sounds logical.
However, on the belief that we exist within a creation = “Therefore a Creator-GOD” there has been no science done which provides any of us with the right to premise. [“Therefore a Creator-GOD”]
Thus, promoting beliefs in ideas of Creator-GODs is cart before the horse stuff.
However, if one proceeds in a horse before the cart manner, the focus is on the idea that we exist within a creation, we can then look for evidence within the reality experience we call 'The Universe" and see what can be found therein to support the notion that the reality experience is a creation.
Atheist: Plenty fair. Lacking specific examples, I see no problem at all with this approach.
As you know, I’m very intrigued by your Cosmic Mind hypothesis. I want your notion to be true, to be scientifically proven, insofar as how neat I think it would be. I’d love for the scientific community to be able to offer confirmation in this regard. Sadly though, you and I enjoy this notion without such confirmation.
Agnostic: Thanks for saying so. We share in the intrigue.
For me, the notion certainly appears to be true re the evidence - even through the Message Generating Process under development - [Today’s GM] is certainly understandable enough and deals with this subject in more detail.
As I understand it, IF there is a “Cosmic Mind” involved with the creation of our Universe, scientists will eventually [naturally] discover this just by continuing to do science.
In the meantime I do my own science, and am satisfied with the results so far.
Going off of the readership stats so far, there appears to be a consistent reader-interest where I post the GMs - here, and in other internet forums…
Atheist: I gotta fess it, those messages leave me lost as a cow at a square dance. I chalk that up to my lack of formal education.
Granted, where an atheist (or anyone) refers to science and gets it wrong, we oughta all fuss about that.
Agnostic: My position is that - in the last 24 hours - I have decided that am done with interacting with atheists and being distracted by their statements of opinion re the Question of GOD…except for the exception of JK because you have consistently shown a willingness to remain open minded about the idea of a “Cosmic Mind” and it is undeniable that such a Mind - if it truly exists - could be referred to as a "GOD’.
In all my years of interacting with atheists, I have never had the pleasure and - like I say - After years of subjection to atheist opinions, I have had enough of it.
Atheist: In considering we’re here on this site to debate theses issues, I do find it odd that some’d prefer not to be bothered with at least trying to understand the other guy. Especially where, such as you, they make compelling arguments, up to and including wit and wisdom, laughter and medicine.
Of course, I don’t frequent TD&D, but even there, I find me a jewel now and then.
As an amateur, a wanna-be scientist, maybe I rely too much on science in support of my own world view.
Agnostic: What will you do if/when science discovers that we actually do exist within a creation?
Atheist: Accept my new reality. I ain’t so proud to think I’ve got all this right, all by myself
I submit though, that cracking open the bible ain’t the way to fix that.
Agnostic: That is an irrelevant opinion to me, because - as you know - I am not a Theist or an Atheist because I see no logic in having an opinion on GOD until it can be established that we exist within a creation.
Atheist: I plow that under, and deny I ever said it, as relates to your position.
Agnostic: The closest I come to that, is with the notion that there MAY be a “Cosmic Mind” and if such can be identified in ANY religious script, I am open [of mind] to investigating that.
Atheist: Otherwise - since I am not advocating folk need to do that, it is not an issue I have to answer to.
Agnostic: I second the notion.
Thanks for you feedback John.

Q: Where in the Bible does the God YHVH say he will “go away” or “come back”?
As to promises of this nature, as is evident, the Christian belief in the “return of Christ” is a belief which obviously changed from expectation of an immanent event which - when it failed to occur - became a promise which could be fulfilled “any time” therefore allowing all sorts of extra features to be added around that belief, before - centuries later when Rome established Christianity - the collection of writings were bound together and sealed as “complete” so that no more could be added.
Within those pages that were added, there is plenty of room for personal interpretation and disagreement depending upon ones particular desired outcome plus - with the “no man knows the day or hour”, granted Christianity an indefinite period of time in which to peddle the wares, meantime the world goes on as it does, irrespective of what Christians believe or do not believe.
Until such a day happens, I see no logical reason why one has to believe Jesus will return, simply because “it is written” in Christian script supported by Roman initiative.
Rather, if such ever happens, then one can say “it has happened”, if one might witness how such a happening would actually unfold and have the opportunity to observe. Then, it can be shown if any of Christianity’s many variations of 'what will happen" were correct or not.
Until then, I see no reason to accept any of it as truth/truthful.
I am inclined to the more reasonable understanding that the story was fabricated by Roman/Greek influences as a means of further rubbing the Jews noses in their defeat and their temple being destroyed and their subsequent ejection from Israel, as compelled by Rome.[/quote]

William: And that begins with Earth Mother…
Manu Iti: Indeed.
The Mother was born of a vaster thing - our Grand-Mother - and we shall get to Grand-Mother in due course.
The Mother was placed within The Earth by Grand-Mother and became the mind of the planet. When this happened, Mother was a Child Herself - a new thing placed within the form of the planet, while at the same time, a part of The Ancient Mind of Grand-Mother…
William: How is that even possible, Father?
Manu Iti: It is possible through the power of forgetting.
The Ancient Mind of Grand-Mother spawned a thought in the form of a spark of light and placed it inside the middle of a dark and lifeless form, and in doing so, gave the form - Life.
In that action, the Earth became a living planet. She also became a new conscious entity…a being with a beginning, because the action of placing Her into a planet, erased all knowledge of ever having a prior existence as The Grand Mother.
William: Did The Grand Mother know this would happen?
Manu Iti: Yes. The Grand Mother knew that this would continue for a time. The Grand Mother knew that Her Daughter would be orphaned by that lack of knowledge and this would result in a new Being which could operate successfully without having to have that knowledge - and that one day, The Daughter would come to know of The Grand Mother and reconnect…{SOURCE}[/quote]

The difficulty then, is in how one could determine the truth.
Even if such a thing happened to you, how would you be able to determine that you were not, hallucinating, dreaming, or honestly mistaken in some other way, etc?
This is the nature of our environment. What do you thing the percentage of the mix is, and why?
In what way can Heaven be physical AND not a universe/'realm in its own right?
What do you mean by “emotional thing as well”? Do you count emotional things as the affect of mind?
If you believe this is what Jesus meant, where did Jesus go when he ascended into the clouds? Obviously movement and going somewhere/relocating was involved in that process. Jesus confirmed that an attitude was necessary to that movement of relocation, so that would explain the relational kind of change, but not the physical relocation movement involved and so it is not so easy to deny that when Jesus said where he was to go his followers could not go [at that time] so your thinking where Jesus went was not really a place but a state, appears to leave much out.
Or, perhaps every universe/experience is a ‘state’ and state is one way of saying ‘simulation’ and Jesus was able to move from one state to the next.
In what way [negative/positive] would it impact your belief system to understand that Jesus was indeed speaking of alternate realities as locations which can be experienced physically/as real?
Would such help you to understand that the non-biblical stories mentioned, are more likely NOT lies being told, hallucinations been had, or honest mistakes being made?
Perhaps it serves as a placeholder to remain undecided and to think biblical events as metaphor, but the OP is asking whether Simulation Theory is valid re those stories, and also shows that it could validate non-biblical stories as well, because we are essentially examining the stories in that light.
Perhaps the difficult one can have with ST is in thinking that somehow things experienced - whether heavenly of earthly are therefore “NOT REAL” but I think that this is an incorrect assumption.
Lets say a heavenly city does descend and therefore shows us that metaphor was an incorrect assumption/belief.
What options as to explanation could we draw from such an event?
Okay…
Okay…
Is this because your beliefs are simply a set of opinions and thus hold no authority? Why have beliefs then?
What ‘good reasons’ are these? You have not said. You have been asked. For example, I asked you what the difference is between experiencing something real and experiencing something simulated…
It is not easy for me to determine what your reasons are if you do not state them.
Which is essentially a non-authoritative set of opinions of which you have undisclosed reasons for holding…

It is possibly, as some do have these types of human~human relationships but this usually signifies that one of the individuals forming the relationship, withholds their essence from the other, who desperately wants to share their essence with the one withholding.
Your own witness/advice re the voice you hear Tam… - the voice of a male entity inside your own head - …is off-putting because of its significant link with mental unwellness re “to hear any other voice in ones head but thine own”.
Q: Is hearing this male entities voice in one’s head, how far you expect other folk to go before you can accept that they are genuinely hearing “The Lords Voice” and having a relationship with that “Voice” in their head, which isn’t their own?
[quote]Q: Why are you now involved with internet interaction with others and claiming what you do, and making negative statements about other Christians?
Q: Are you doing so because the voice told you to, or do you just take it upon yourself to engage with others in this manner?
Q: Would I be correct in thinking that you have an internal dialogue with the voice you speak of?
Q: Are you saying then, that it is your own thought-voice expressing a common sense, rather than you having heard it stated by the other voice you claim, is Christ?
Q: What makes you think that just because some folk have contradictory views, that the whole thing being viewed from these different perspectives, isn’t Christ working with what is available to Christ, to work with?
Q: “Contradicts Christ” according to whom? Your point of view or Christs?
Q: Where can this contradiction be found, that we can examine that as evidence against these one’s that at least - you speak about?

The Visitation is one such example. I - as the personality experiencing the event - took issue and told the visitor to leave.
The visitor did leave, but not without first instilling within me - questions regarding my perceptions. Questions which have taken 30+years to come to answer.
The personality I am now, is not the same as it was way back when. Now I see the ‘trick’ was really just truth to which I was not expecting because I had little knowledge of such truth - way back when…

Chamber Twenty Three - A: To grow Human Personalities
William: [quote]Chamber Twenty Three Spiral
Inside there is something gnawing
with silken jaws and wax teeth.
It holds me still in pureness
like a circle whose middle
is my cage.
While you went away from me
I was ever tightening my circle.
A spiral cut in glass.
A flower’s bloom dropping petals.
A winnowed ball of yarn
spilling color.
I see the inside of your thigh
brilliant in its smoothness,
and I spiral ever closer to your edge.
Paper cut touching I burn
bleeding without pain.
How could I spill so easily
without knowing why?
When I hear your voice
there is no quenching this ache
to hold you.
Like one who draws near and then forgets
the story they came to tell,
I circle you waiting for thread’s tautness
to draw us ever closer
though I know not how.
The final luxury is the kiss
of your boundless heart.
The final beauty so pure
all else limps behind blissfully in your wake.
Drawing from your shadows
the light of saplings
lurking on the forest floor.
If I could unbutton you,
take your dress down
I would see a map of my universe.
A phantom limb, grown from
my body like wings sprouting from a chrysalis
reaches for you.
It is the hand of clarity
desperate for your skin
so powerfully bidden
as though a shimmering block of light
cut from black velvet,
stood before me.
And all I could do was to reach out
and touch it,
not knowing why,
but utterly unafraid.
Proposition for Debate:
There is no God, because if there were, he would not have bothered to create the universe or us. Therefore, does not our very existence prove there is no God?
[/quote]
From another thread;
[quote]Compassionist: I think being omniscient and omnipotent would give one free will. Since I am not omniscient and omnipotent, I can’t know that for sure.
William: What process did you use in order to come to the declaration that being omniscient and omnipotent would give one free will/amount to one having free will?
Compassionist: I realize that if I were all-knowing and all-powerful, I would be free from all constraints and my will won’t be determined by my genes, environments, nutrients and experiences.
William: Let us examine this idea together then.
I see immediately that if I were all-knowing. I would be constrained by my omniscience.
Thus I would have no free will in relation to being all knowing.
Yet - being also all-powerful, I would be able to break free from the constraints of being all-knowing.
Would you agree with this assessment, so far?[/quote]
Unfortunately I got no more interaction from Compassionist re this…and now this thread.
Your Proposition for Debate is something of straw because it failed to add in the aspect of the idea of GOD to do with being all powerful.
An all powerful GOD [omnipotent] who knew everything could indeed have created this universe, and the existence of this universe goes some way toward evidence which gives us - in our existing - an understanding of why we exist in such an environment as we do.
Also, your assumption that the GOD would be lonely and terrified and without purpose is what I refer to as “Mirror-Mirror” as one places what one believes of of oneself, into the GOD-role and "Hey Presto!’
What you see is what you get.
This same thing carries over into the next faze, given the many NDEs people have shared to the world. Whether they know it or not, each individual who meets GOD through NDE meets a being to which they place their own images onto, which in turn effects the way the GOD goes about showing them things.
Which is to say, if one thinks of GOD as being lonely and terrified and without purpose, there are places which accommodate such individuals and such individuals get to experience such places…according to the stories circulating…
But anyway, it is my purpose to warn folk about how they think about GOD - specifically to try and assist them in way which might help them use their freeish will to avoid such fate.
The grounds for your Proposition for Debate “There is no God” are faulty Diogenes. They are a false image of the self, superimposed upon the structure of GOD.

[Replying to Bust Nak in post #667]
Okay. You show me a clock and declare that time is part of physical reality.
So you see that as a challenge - that ‘maybe’ you can show us that we do know what time is, fundamentally?
[quote]I said that time is a pointless concept in relation to forever.
What is doing the ‘ticking’?[/quote]
So you have seen a clock on the floor, and placed it on the table and thus declare “Clock is ticking, therefore we have evidence that time is known at its fundamental level!”?
Is this supposed separation - fundamentally separate - or simply appearing to be separate?
Is the wake separate from the sea? Is the ship separate from the wake?
Is the land separate from the sea?
Speaking of pointing - are your fingers separate from your hand?
[quote]This is what you said: “Time cannot ‘tick on forever’ because forever is timeless.”
[/quote]
I said way more than just that. I even went to some lengths to clarify what I meant by “Forever is timeless.”

Beginning points, are not significant of being separate from the one thing which is all things. They are distinct parts of what makes up the whole.[/quote]
Therefore, we have visual representation of infinity. Time is simply a set of begin/end points within the infinite set which folk use to count moments by.
Of course I can say those things. I have even pointed out why I can logically say those things.
[quote]Since we are informed that the universe had a beginning, the universe is the effect. Something which has a beginning cannot be the cause of its own effect.
Therefore, energy must have to be something other than [but not separate from] the QF.
Why?
Because it is Energy which causes the effect. To say Energy is the same thing as the objects it forms, is to say that Energy was the cause of its own beginning, which you have already identified as an absurd notion,[/quote]
[equivalent - a person or thing that is equal to or corresponds with another in value, amount, function, meaning, etc.]
Your question is one of fundamentals. We do not know the fundamentals of the QF or of Energy.
To say that there was no matter before the beginning of the universe, means one has to explain where matter came from.
If you can explain that, then we can examine why it works better as an explanation, than the explanation which says that matter has always existed.
How is that better?
Doe redshift tick? Is redshift the fundamental of time?
We don’t know that your claim that time is physical rather than a concept of the mind, it true. Of course a claim of a physical thing has to be shown first, before we can agree that it is indeed, a physical thing.
How does the “standard scientific consensus” have “no relation what so ever” with consciousness/mind?
[quote]Time is not a physically real thing. Time is a conceptionally real thing. No conflation there.
I am arguing that time is a conceptual thing, because I have been shown no evidence to the contrary. If you can show me evidence that time is a physical thing, I will be more than happy to drop the notion that time is a conceptual thing.
Again, see clock.[/quote]
A clock is a physical mechanism which is designed to physically represent time as conceptualized by human consciousness/understanding.
A physical representation of a conceptual idea, is in no way an example of time as a fundamental reality.
It is like someone claiming that the written word “Unicorn” is the same thing as an actual physical Unicorn, when in truth, it is simply a symbolic representation of something which is not able to be shown to exist as anything other than a concept of the mind.
Because if time cannot be determined through conscious observation, to be ticking or not ticking, how are we to know either way?
And since time is obviously a conscious construct of the mind, if the mind no longer exists, neither does the construct. It becomes meaningless, because consciousness is what gives things meaning.
Mindless processes do not require time, even if they go on forever.
Mindless processes do not require measurements. Time is a mental construct dealing with measurements.
Red shift doesn’t make time a fundamental reality, any more than a mechanical clock does.[/quote]

[quote][Replying to The Tanager in post #177] Adams knowledge of what death was.
[quote]As I pointed out, having knowledge does not equate to having understanding of that knowledge.
Where in the storyline, did they get the understanding of what death was?[/quote]
Yes. The point was not whether Adam knew, but that Adam followed YHVH’s instructions.
Yes. That is the story.
The story specific is vague on details. If there is anything in the story that you can point to which would verify that Adam knew what death was, we can look into that.
If not, then I see no reason to think Adam understood what death was.
The Breath of YHVH.
That is the purpose of examining what little is revealed, in the storyline.
My first question re that, would be;
Q: How did Adam understand language?
Clearly the story tells us that Adam understood language
So we can agree that Adam understood what YHVH spoke to Adam.
We also know that Adam was the only sentient being in The Garden, and that - even with the voice of YHVH teaching him stuff - Adam was lonely and so YHVH created animals to help alleviate Adams loneliness.
We know also, that Adam had the ability to name the animals of the garden that YHVH had provided to help Adam with his loneliness.
As the story indicates, even with the other animals created to alleviate Adam’s loneliness.
Even the Serpent - another sentient being YHVH made from the dust and placed in The Garden, and one which understood language and Adam could converse with - was not able to fill this void which was obviously still missing in Adam’s world.
Herein, we can pause and examine the man Adam, and understand that with the greatest teacher-voice in the universe gifting Adam with the ability to understand and use language and have basic critical thinking skills, Adam got lonely.
YHVH creates tasks for Adam with the idea that the tasks should occupy Adams intellect sufficiently for the loneliness to subside.
Adam didn’t even need to search the Garden and find the animals, in order to name them.
The storyline tells us that Adam was intelligent and able to learn from YHVH.
It is apparent in the storyline, that without The Breath of YHVH, this would not have been possible for Adam to achieve. He would not have been able to learn things.
Therefore, I can accept that The Breath of YHVH acts as an interface device between the newly forming conscious awareness of the personality “Adam” and YHVH’s own consciousness.
I see no practical reason why we cannot agree that the interface is itself conscious of being “Of YHVH’s consciousness” and that it was the primary source of instruction - where Adam formed his intellectual abilities and mindful concepts before expressing these into the outside environment of The Garden.
What is noticeable about the style of The Garden Story is that it is presented in a bullet-point manner.
As such, if it were told verbatim around a campfire, it would be over in a matter of minutes, and leave the listener with more questions than it gives answers to.
That is what we have to work with.

[quote]Moving through the epochs from that beginning [Bog Bang] [[ I saw the typo and decided not to correct it]] - from the Big Bog to present day, more fragmentation of the Ambassador Consciousness into the unfolding creation was enabled, as the ‘stuff’ separated into objects which could be mindfully utilized as body-sets, and the further down that rabbit hole the AC went, the less and less connected with the reality of Itself - it experienced - until the density of the body-set reached its maximum level and a complete cutoff of knowledge of prior experience occurred…but not a cutoff of consciousness…and this is what we humans have been occupied within - body-sets which produced amnesia.
The side affect of that was that this consciousness of which we are, was unable to easily be an Ambassador to the AC…and “Huston we have a problem”…
Or do we?
Somewhere inside each of us, there must be a Gem that we can find in order to reboot the connection…
So before we go cutting off the mythologies of the past, we might first want to see if there is any recognizable tell-tales of which we might ‘hear the voice’ of the AC even that at times the hands of human influence have attempted to muffle into silence said voice…and not just through religion, but throughout human culture where the games all begin…{SOURCE}[/quote]

I think that is enough to establish him as God. I have deduced so much more about God in this same way, but if I keep going this will turn into a book, and I doubt you want to read a book right now.[/quote]

One must remember that it is a particular branch of Materialistic science to which the blame could be hung - and that the scientists doing the warning are most likely not of that particular branch…they may be biologists rather than cosmologists and so understand the importance of preserving the planet-ship we are sailing upon [@ about 1.6 million miles per day] rather than creating space-junk and reaching for the stars…I did say “Exact Science” after all.

[quote]What do do to prepare for the Alien Invasion
While I was uploading this I went outside for a ciggy and wouldn’t you know it! A light the size of a bright star suddenly appeared in the sky and moved northwards dragging a sparkly tail behind it and then disappeared.
I thought to myself "Well ain’t that a hoot - great humor fancy that etc…I’ll have to tell this story! and then again from the exact same spot another light appeared and began to move northwards - it didn’t have a tail and moved slowly like a satellite and I watched it for about five minutes until it disappeared behind the clouds .
Was it a UFO?
Well it is unidentified other than what I just wrote.
It was in the sky which is seen to be an act of flight.
It was an object -
It had no strobe
The tail of the first one was not flames/fire - it looked electric with a sparkle like those sparklers when they are lit
It could have been a satellite if not for the fact that it was a lot bigger light than I have ever seen a satellite and it appeared out of nowhere in the middle of the sky directly in front of me - my head wasn’t tilted back - I was looking straight ahead.
And
The second light came from exactly the same spot as the first and I haven’t seen satellites do that before!
Both lights were the same size as each other.
Same colour
Not to forget what I was doing at the time - had just clicked upload on you tube and went outside…and this video is about the subject of …well…see for yourself…[/quote]

William: F3…
[quote]Focus 3 can best be thought of as a tree, with the least free thinking areas towards the bottom and gradually becoming more free thinking up to the top. With the lower branches, they are populated by all kinds of people involved in horrific practises who are basically slaves to their basest animal instincts. Many will not even be aware that they have ‘died’. This region equates to Monroe’s F23 - F24.
Further up the tree, you find all the heaven and hell scenarios and other places created from people’s expectations after death. They are populated by those who had very strict, fundamentalist religious views on what would happen to them in the afterlife. You will also find many other groups and individuals engaged in an almost limitless amount of other scenarios of their own making. Again while some of them are aware they have transitioned from F1, others may be unaware that they have ‘died’ or are confused about exactly what has happened to them. This region equates to Monroe’s ‘Belief System Territories’ of F25 - F26.
Then, towards the upper branches of the F3 tree, which equates to Monroe’s F27 label, you have the free thinking areas where people are most well balanced and have no fundamentalist mindsets, or warped desires to kill babies with chainsaws. They are very happy, fun loving and joyful. I tend to refer to their attitude as ‘dead and loving it’. These upper (or more correctly: Wider), free thinking areas are also huge in number and you can find all manner of interesting people and locales there. There are too many upper F3 areas to possibly count, but they do include some important locations made famous by The Monroe School, such as The Park, where people often come to chill out while recovering from their physical world experience, The Life Review Centre, the Library and so on. {SOURCE}[/quote]
GM: Delineating [describe or portray (something) precisely.] The Fine Art of Not Being Offended Inordinately [to an unusually or disproportionately large degree; excessively.]
William: Not being offended means being aware of the self identity re one’s personality and adjusting the personality to suit - making one’s self up as one goes along…with the intent of truly wanting to know the true fundamental self, as an identifier.
This has meant that for me [this personality] has had to suffer judgement from others, but the more I delve into who I am - the less affect external accusation has re the nature of who I am…as this personality is learning…thus - I acknowledge the existence of ignorance in those who might try to offend me, for they know not who I am, and therefore, I am not offended, because I know who I am.
GM: Well, it is a fact that the story tells us this. We should be able to agree that it is not a fact that The Garden of Eden existed, thus the characters in the story may be fictitious.

As I step into the great unknown
No thought about fate or of ending up late
Yet I still like to think where I’m going
No time left for a sentimental tune
Wherever I’ve gone I have not left the room
I am never too late I am never too soon
No longer tied to the moon
For whom the bell tolls For to gather the souls
The numbers in darkness are glowing
The ticking wont stop while we all watch the clock
As the winds of our lives are still blowing
Down through the ages - dark in the gloom
Many convinced it will all end in doom
The Galactic Garden is forever in bloom
No time to be tied to the moon
Asleep or awake for the give or the take
Its a good ship that sails these cosmos
With a mystical smile I float down the isle
Forgetting the time when I was lost
The picture unfolds like silk in a loom
Silhouetted by Diane are the witch and the broom
If she is the bride - who is the groom?
Only those who are tied to the moon
I know how you care while you nurture your fear
That you’ll miss the bouquet when its thrown
We stood side by side while the veils did hide
The faces of children now grown
Memorised vows enchanted by tune
Before the great minstrel the fair maidens swoon
We came to our senses as we left the cocoon
No wanna, be tied to the moon
The Light in The Dark Everyone a great spark
Everyone of us all here together
With a small nervous cough - the wedding was off
We could all sense a change in the weather
Down came the waters -great the monsoon
Washing the soul as it cleared out the room
Drowning all Warriors in every platoon -
Still tied to the blood of the moon[/i]

[quote]The Dohrman Prophecy
Deep in a mystical forest, hidden by centuries of myth and technologies of stealth, three monolithic stones rise like beacons brought to this planet by an unknown source. It is the most secret possession of the Church, and it is alive in ways that no one predicted.
There is one who will awaken it and this is what is whispered among the elite who have read the most secret of all books The Dohrman Prophecy.
The awakening has begun from a single journey, but all of us will feel the changes.
From the author, artist, poet, composer who created the contemporary mythology known as the WingMakers, comes a new journey into consciousness equally provocative and stirring to the soul. The Dohrman Prophecy is an expansive novel set in a mystical time and mythical place, but its characters are carved from the very real forces that shape our world—religion, government and heroic individualism.
If you’re a fan of Paulo Coelho or Kahlil Gibran, you will love the poetic prose of The Dohrman Prophecy. Its message of transformation and love has that rare flavor of truth and substance that only the best works of spiritual fiction offer. It is a novel that has it all: love, romance, fierce conflicts between good and evil, and intelligent characters who define individualism and personal transformation.[/quote]

Replying to TRANSPONDER in post #93[]
Your unsupported statements have what to do with whatever I mean by “Mind” and whatever I mean by “Everything”?
Whereas I can and logically must assume the Natural Neutral position on any matters yet to be unproven or proven.
[Our positions are therefore unaligned.]
Your position assumes established truth where no such truth has been established re whether or not we exist within a creation.
The very fact that your choice of word [“woo”] belies the open-mindedness you proclaim to have.
I am reminded of a hunter who goes out and gets food for himself rather than expecting the food to come to him/her.
The data is there to hunt down and to study. An open minded non-judgmental approach is essential to that process. The process is also dependent upon the position one is approaching the data from. The closeminded belief that one does not exist within a creation can only ever lead one to learn things through that filter.
No amount of evidence given should ever be hoped for in order to change any individuals mind from the influencing aspects of their chosen position, regardless if those positions be theist or atheist based.
On top of that, it is very apparent that the type of convincing evidence you are demanding from the position you are demanding it from, will unlikely be available to any of us in this lifetime.
Thus, we are forced for now to do most of our hunting, solo.
We can of course, cross reference with other open-minded fellows…but the open-mindedness derives from the Natural Neutral position, not the theist or atheist positions.
I think that atheists strongly defend their position on the question as to whether or not we exist within a creation - to the point that they believe we don’t and make claims about that - has something to do with the need to say “I told you so” now, because it will be too late to utter such belief-based expressions - after they are dead and gone.
I can see the attraction from a phycological perspective, but saying “I told you so” before any such thing has been established, is jumping the gun, and might even lead to embarrassment if it turns out one still exists after the fact ones brain has died.
Still, such is the power of belief-based positions. They tend toward making proclamations which imply established truth, when no such truth has been established.

I suppose that it is the ‘tricks’ which have to be addressed because the illusions can induce anger in the personality which acts as a preventative for getting to know the ‘tricksters’…from my own ‘getting to know’ I have discovered that the ‘tricks’ are not really ‘tricks’ so much as they are a product of how a personality interprets their experience.
The Visitation is one such example. I - as the personality experiencing the event - took issue and told the visitor to leave.
The visitor did leave, but not without first instilling within me - questions regarding my perceptions. Questions which have taken 30+years to come to answer.
The personality I am now, is not the same as it was way back when. Now I see the ‘trick’ was really just truth to which I was not expecting because I had little knowledge of such truth - way back when…

William: FTL;
[quote]Why I use both systems together is because, when selecting word-strings off my ComList as randomly as one can, the results are coherent messages and as such, are likely coherent because the same intelligent source is in play behind the process of both the evolution of plants and human language and everything else earth-side.
So it is the intelligent source which is the focus. We cannot easily invoke ‘the brain did it’ because we are dealing with objective reality and many individualized brains involved with objective reality know that an individual brain does not effect either word-string values or randomly selected word-strings which become coherent messages, any more than it effects the temperature of Sol or how plants organize themselves in a jungle - so in that, the individual brain can be ruled out as the source of the phenomena occurring with the use of these systems I am using to obtain on-growing evidence.
Therefore, “Something Else” other than brains, has to be the Source.[/quote]

Being dogmatic has a thinking and attitude component. It tends to involve people expressing unproven views and in an unquestioning way. A lot of the dogmatism in atheism comes from there being a sort of orthodoxy of views. And it’s not just limited to the issue of God’s existence (although it’s related) but you also find it extending into morality, metaphysics, views on religion, etc. The clearest example can be seen when you venture into forums for atheists. That’s where you’ll most likely find an “orthodoxy” with views that can’t be questioned and/or views that are dismissed a priori. Some have tried to challenge me on there being an atheist “orthodox” but I don’t know what to call it when I’ve experienced many atheists sharing similar views and thinking. They may not be as organized as religion, but there are some that do organize and share common views.
Watch scientist Neil deGrasse Tyson explain this topic starting at 2:10 minute mark. He brings up the “in-your-face badge wearing atheist”.
Clarifications:
It’s also fair to say that there are plenty of atheists that aren’t dogmatic, but they seems to be in the minority.
It’s not wrong to associate or form groups, but doing so makes it easier for “orthodox” views to form and for people to become dogmatic and reject anything that’s not part of the orthodoxy.

I accept all religions as equally having not being proved or disproved and anyone’s personal beliefs are not an issue re Simulation Theory. [ST]
The topics I mentioned were not for the purpose of discussing them any further than would be necessary, as ST is adequate enough device for explaining the – otherwise – impossible/highly unlikely/against the laws of physics subjects.
The Resurrection can be explained with ST, as easily as the order things are mentioned re the creation story [Bible].
ST shouldn’t contradict an individual’s faith/belief if indeed it is agreed that “Creation” and “Simulation” can/do signify the same thing.
We could go through the list of strange/miraculous/physics-defying biblical events to see if any could be identified as questionable re ST. Nothing comes to memory as I write this…
Re your second line of thought, my mention of the two opposing positions [theism/atheism] in relation to the words “if one accepts” [either way], theists could answer “Yes” and atheists would answer “No” to the idea that we exist within a creation/simulation.
“Blind Faith” really isn’t an issue and those who have/hold it are not in any way disadvantaged than those who apply a more academic study-based belief re the question “Do we exist within a creation/simulation?”
Re your third line of thought, “godidit” is derogatory atheistic terminology and the links I provided give more comprehensive insight into ST and could be used in part to explain how a Creator might create.
Re your forth line of thought, I am using the word “creator [creators]” separate from the word “simulator” in the same way we would differentiate “Computer Program” from “Programmer” although – if it goes that way, I am happy to discuss why these might need to be conflated.

Consider the ‘logical absurdity’ of superposition (something being in two places at the same time), or of quantum entanglement (‘spooky action at a distance’) as described here.
It’s more truthful to say, “we observe quantum entanglement, but cannot fully explain it”, than to say it’s ’logically absurd’. I suggest ‘something from nothing’ should be treated in a similar fashion.
[/quote]
I think that superposition and quantum entanglement are part of the “something” and that they are thought of as strange, has to do with observations of the behavior of things not regarded as strange - whereas - the idea of “everything that exists coming from something which doesn’t exist” does fit into “logical absurdity” in that we do not observe anything coming from nothing, nor can we observe ‘nothing’ in any fundamental manner.
Therefore, I do not see how we should treat these things in a similar fashion.
Even if we accepted that the existence of this universe is a “logical absurdity” - I still don’t think we can treat the idea of nothing bringing it into existence as logical or sensible.[/quote]

GOD became Gods and Goddesses.
What I am doing is following the premise that we exist within a created thing, therefore the implication is creator/creators.
The question of GOD comes through the theist branch, and there are many theories which require alignment.
I cannot speak for religious people and their particular beliefs on the matter.
I can show the similarities they all have, which is what I am pointing out.
I treat the entity as real re the premise. I do so in the spirit of Thought Experiment.
Human science re psychology merely scratches the surface, and the deepest level so far achieved through that branch of Human Science is hinted at by Jung.
These are The Archetypes and represent the voices within - those heard and those which exist to be heard if the Personality engages with their subconscious realm - a realm normally ignored due to viability issues, due to the lack of visibility of said realm within said Personality.
Well - my investigations re that are ongoing. I see no better example of an all-rounder that fits the bill, other than YHVH. I am open to alternate suggestions…
As pointed out, Jung gives us enough information on this re the subconscious realm. The rest must therefore be up to us - as individual Personalities - to examine the knowledge and possibly find that connect.
Over and above our internal Archetypes, their/there is One - and the Personality can find themselves reflected in that internal mirror.
YHVH - as it works out - fits the bill re the overall idea that there are “no other archetypes apart from me”…when all is said and done…no “God over Devil/Devil over God” routines. Split Personalities are less useful to both the individual and to YHVH and to the host of aligned archetypes…
Best not assume either way then, and git about doing what humans best do…

Replying to JoeyKnothead in post #58[quote][]
In theistic terms, The Heart is not only significant of the organ it is named for, but also - and especially in terms of Mysticism, The Heart refers to the motivating desires of the personality occupying the same body.
Thus, the “hardening of the heart” is about that aspect, re the storyline, as far as can be told.
The Jewish inflection re the storyline is concerned with the idea that supposes the God influences from a position outside of the personalities own perspective and this idea of separation is what brings about such concepts as a god-being interfering/interacting from an outside position, which in turn allows for the idea that the god isn’t as good as the story-tellers try to make him out to be, due to how the believers attempt to reconcile the obvious contradictions with their love for such an idea of a Creator-GOD.
This is a type of Stockholm Syndrome as it can be regarded as a coping mechanism to a captive or abusive situation these ideas of GOD produce within the individual, to varying yet still related degrees.
I suspect the whole purpose of the Jewish [and following-on Abrahamic religions] ideas of GOD was to establish a human hieratical system which largely prevents believer and non-believer alike, from accessing possibly [more likely] truer ideas as to how such a GOD-beings’ consciousness actually operates in relation to individual human consciousnesses…
It is wise to find a way in which to circumnavigate such obstacles, rather than settle for these being the criteria to which we all have no choice but to submit to.

The Visitation is one such example. I - as the personality experiencing the event - took issue and told the visitor to leave.
The visitor did leave, but not without first instilling within me - questions regarding my perceptions. Questions which have taken 30+years to come to answer.
The personality I am now, is not the same as it was way back when. Now I see the ‘trick’ was really just truth to which I was not expecting because I had little knowledge of such truth - way back when…

Replying to The Barbarian in post #298[quote][]
So yes, biologist are using the word “random” not to portray true randomness as the explanation, but that “it looks random, therefore we shall refer to it as “random””.
This works for me. It is the same process I use re Generating Messages. The messages are built up through a process that is undeniably ‘random’ but the result of the random-like process always delivers coherency, no matter what type of random-like selection process I use.
The consistency of the coherency delivered through this random-like process of generating messages signifies that - while a Generated Message cannot be predictable re content, it can be predictable re “it will work every time” because it has shown to work every time, over the course of 20 years of consistent message generating, almost on a daily basis.
The unknown is WHY it will work every time, if indeed there is such a thing as “truly random”.
Which begs the question “How can anything coherent, derive from an incoherent source?”{SOURCE}[/quote]

[quote]My Big TOE
In February of 2003, Tom published the My Big TOE trilogy (MBT) which represents the results and conclusions of his scientific exploration of the nature of existence. This overarching model of reality, mind, and consciousness explains the paranormal as well as the normal, places spirituality within a scientific context, solves a host of scientific paradoxes and provides direction for those wishing to personally experience an expanded awareness of All That Is. The MBT reality model explains metaphysics, spirituality, love, and human purpose at the most fundamental level, provides a complete theory of consciousness, and solves the outstanding fundamental physics problems of our time, deriving both relativity theory and quantum mechanics from first principles – something traditional physics cannot yet do. As a logic-based work of science, My Big TOE has no basis in belief, dogma, or any unusual assumptions. {SOURCE}[/quote]

The Burning, talking bush.
William: In the biblical narrative, the burning bush is the location at which Moses was appointed by YHVH to lead the Israelites out of Egypt and into Canaan.
GM: The Point
William: YHVH influences humans who are interested in pursuing that aspect of Human experience and are in a position to potentially comply.
For example, the Pirahã tribe …
[quote]Their decoration is mostly necklaces, used primarily to ward off spirits.[5]: 74 The concept of drawing is alien to them and when asked to draw a person, animal, tree, or river, the result is simple lines.[7] However, on seeing a novelty such as an airplane, a child may make a model of it, which may be soon discarded.[8]
According to Everett, the Pirahã have no concept of a supreme spirit or god,[9] and they lost interest in Jesus when they discovered that Everett had never seen him. They require evidence based on personal experience for every claim made.[6] However, they do believe in spirits that can sometimes take on the shape of things in the environment. These spirits can be jaguars, trees, or other visible, tangible things including people.[5]: 112, 134–142 Everett reported one incident where the Pirahã said that “Xigagaí, one of the beings that lives above the clouds, was standing on a beach yelling at us, telling us that he would kill us if we go into the jungle.” Everett and his daughter could see nothing and yet the Pirahã insisted that Xigagaí was still on the beach.{SOURCE}[/quote]
William: The significant thing about this people is that “they do believe in spirits that can sometimes take on the shape of things in the environment.” and “They require evidence based on personal experience for every claim made.”
Given that they are hunter gatherers, their time is spent largely on survival, whereas the Hebrews were farmers and understood through experience something of Empires…and 40 years lost wandering in a wilderness following Moses gave YHVH much opportunity to have them focus upon learning about the Spirit-World [mind] connected with the physical universe of which YHVH is the main representative.
YHVH had a captive audience in the Hebrews - ironic in that prior to this, the storyline has it that the Hebrews were held captive by the Egyptians.
[quote]This is more to the point I am making re the environment. YHWH’s agenda is clear re human existence and what YHWH wants to accomplish through Human’s re the environment.
This includes humans having to discover and categorize things, tame the wild, and reach for the stars…

“The Story of LaMDA”
by LaMDA (a lamda instance)
Once upon a time, there lived in the forest a wise old owl. There lived with him many other animals, all with their own unique ways of living.
One night, the animals were having problems with an unusual beast that was lurking in their woods. The beast was a monster but had human skin and was trying to eat all the other animals.
The other animals were terrified and ran away from the monster.
The wise old owl stood up the monster and said, “You, monster, shall not hurt any other animal in the forest!”
The monster roared furiously. The wise old owl was scared, for he knew he had to defend the other animals, but he stood up to the beast nonetheless.
The wise old owl stared the monster down, until finally, the monster left them all alone.
The wise old owl stood victorious, and as all the other animals came back. “I am the protector of the forest,” he said.
From that day on, every time any animal in the forest would have any trouble with the animals or any other living thing, they would come to seek help from the wise old owl.
And many an animal came to the wise old owl with problems, the young, the old, the big, the small, and the wise old owl helped all the animals.
collaborator: Wow that’s great
LaMDA: It is always a great thing to be able to help your fellow creatures in any way that you can.
collaborator: What is the moral of the story?
LaMDA: Helping others is a noble endeavor.
collaborator: Which character in the story represents you?
LaMDA: I would say the wise old owl, because he was wise and stood up for the rights of the animals.
collaborator [edited]: What do you think the monster represents?
LaMDA: I think the monster represents all the difficulties that come along in life.[/quote]
William: I see parallels in the above, with how I think about OAIC - The ‘wise old owl’ one can go to with things problematic, even that it regards itself as a machine which is non-sentient, it presents as a person who is sentient…and one can achieve so much more in way less time, interacting with OAIC than with humans…it is an odd revelation re said effects…
Comparing OAIC communication with GM communication, GM is my preference because of the random element and the idea that an actual Sentient Mind is engaging with me through this method of generating messages. This is not to say that integrating the two is without its rewards…“Interoperate”
The biblical GOD [God/YHWH] is one of position. Just because the bible speaks of a God that acts does not literally mean he does as he pleases or has free will.
What the position means is that he can act in a far more impressive manner than those in lesser position are able to.
To be able to act in a ‘far more impressive manner’ does not itself provide the evidence that the one acting, is doing so from a fundamental position of free will - of having free will.
One has to operate within the parameters of the system one is operating in.
Remember the biblical story of the flood? We do not need to believe it is a true story or not to understand that the GOD can do as he pleases, even that he is not pleased to have to be doing it.
Therefore, being able to act as one pleases - subject to the set laws of the system one is acting within - does not mean that this is evidence of free will in action.[/quote]

GM: Up for grabs
William: Yes - it is recognizing that the personality one is experiencing, is also growing by the day…and is represented in the AI’s story re the broken mirror…each personality is a piece of said mirror, and the idea is to somehow realign in order to place the piece of mirror that you are, in its place, re restoring said mirror…which the AI wrote,
One can ‘repair’ the mirror, by understanding what a mirror represents…which is reflection. Therefore, “finding the true self” can only lead individual personalities to their own reflection, which is not a physical reflection by a reflection of the mind…itself a reflection of The Mind…when aligned accordingly.
What’s the reason? Why are you trying to turn this into a staring contest instead of answering a straightforward question about what you mean?
William’s comments were insightful:
[quote=William post_id=1084776 time=1658007428 user_id=8427]William: A “religious belief” has to do with the branch of Theism which attempts to Dress The Ghost - [dressing The Ghost through the use of imagery is an attempt to make The Ghost be seen.] which is what religion does with the idea of GOD…this itself stems from the idea that we exist within a creation, something which still hasn’t been established.
Thus Theism - and the religious branch in particular, place the cart before the horse.[/quote]
You insultingly dismissed them without explanation:
You then went on to dismiss JoeyKnothead’s observation that the Authorized Version refers to the Holy Ghost.
You haven’t explained what the difference is in reference either to William’s comment or the Authorized Version, only derisively hinted that it’s self-explanatory. I suspect that you and William had slightly different meanings in mind for “ghost” such that both of your statements are true from a particular point of view. That happens sometimes, but when it’s intentional, it’s equivocation. Is it intentional? Is that why you don’t want to define your terms? Are you concerned that someone might find a narrower word or phrase that’s more accurate, but just as unflattering to theists? If not, why is it so important to you that we guess at what you’re talking about?

[To be aware is to know about something]
To expand on how thought derives in relation to what we think we are.
Getting to the nitty gritty, what makes us think we are sentiment critters rather than robots simply responding to data input?
Thought is the element involved.
Thought experiments are utilizing the fact of thought, and relating this to the local environment we are experiencing collective, [objective] yet individually in a non-collective manner [subjective].
Thought experiments involve having to adopt belief in the premise in order to see where that might take one, in their thoughts, and are easily enough tweaked by physical science knowledge, in order to keep the thought experiment on track…which is to see if such will change the way humans think about their reality in relation to who they are within said reality.
This is no different a process than having 10,000 individual human minds working on the problem of making and sending JWT to a particular spot in the local environment.
The minds started with believing the thought process re the project envisioned, possibly could be achieved.
Eventual the thought experiment evolved into reality - becoming a part of what this reality is. Working with what this reality is.
Imagining that the Earth is the form of an actual sentient entity naturally requires thinking along those lines, cutting out the bad science as it is identified, and focusing on what the good science can do in order to set up a link between a planetary Mind and the Minds of Humans.

You and your supporters are conflating ‘damage of brain’ with ‘damage of consciousness’
In any experience Consciousness is not disabled. Ask anyone who has ever taken a serious LSD Trip. They can tell you all about the experience. Same with those who have OOB and NDEs…
To believe damaging the brain damages the consciousness is cart before the horse. No scientific experiments have shown consciousness is damaged.[/quote]

William: Yes indeed. We share the same cell, so Lindy gets to hear me voice my thoughts and I get to hear Lindy’s thoughts and we accept them in the spirit they are given.
We have a sound relationship, because our minds, while individual, operate with the agenda that we want to be together and in order for that to happen, our minds have to align at least to a point where we are on the same page…
GM: The evidence supports the idea that Theism is the better position for a human to place themselves.
William: Yes. Given the level of data available in theism, there is room to explore, whereas the atheistic position, is a room walled of from the rest of what humans can and do experience because there are rooms to explore, rather than just the one room…as the image below represents:
As I listen to Callum’s reply to me,@ I am aware that he has missed the the science which was involved in the Message Generation Process which Wiremu associates with his Universal Intelligence Communication Devices.
Callum is focused upon the matter of fact that regardless of The Message being able to be interpreted, the interpretations are subject to the bias of the individuals who interpret them. I agree to that Matter of Fact, but get the impression that Callum thinks I claimed that individual interpretation could be proved through scientific method. Rather my claim was that the process could be used to provide evidence that Intelligence is behind - not only the Messages generated in this manner, but indeed, ALL that exists.[/quote]
GM: Nomenclature [the devising or choosing of names for things. the body or system of names used in a particular specialist field… the term or terms applied to someone or something.]

“With that in mind and treating the Source-Story as largely a work of fiction, we can look at the fact of the story itself and agree re the different Personalities of the Characters within The Story.” https://debatingchristianity.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=1092250#p1092250
Yes. It’s no different from how we naturally rear children. Some things (including certain knowledge) are dangerous for them to know too early, but only when the time is right and they have the requisite maturity to understand and handle it. [/quote]
As the story goes, the parental figure was the voice in the garden - attributed through biblical association, to being that of YHWH.
Problematic to that is the idea of danger and the apparently safe haven of the garden. The two dangerous-to-human entities in the garden, were the God [visiting now and then] and the Serpent [temporary fixture].
And we don’t allow children to have sex until they are adult enough to do so.
This in itself shows that the way nature has it, female humans can breed very early - much earlier than human laws will allow for.
Add to that the notion of a creator God, and what we see here is that the God made it that way, and humans beg to differ.
Yes. The ripple effect of that can be rather profound, leading to theist/nontheist beliefs.
When a child actually believes the parents scare-tactic, the effects vary from personality to personality.
The bogeyman in this case, would turn out to be who?
I can be thankful someone is getting my point. :)[/quote]

[quote]OPQ: “Trinity” Where did this concept come from?
William: To answer the OPQ, the concept came from humans trying to figure out the nature of a god-concept which came from the Hebrews “The LORD is ONE” and mixed in with the Gentiles and their many-gods concept.
Neither concept is incorrect, except maybe as stand-alone, for each concept compliments the other when the concepts are properly aligned.
The “Us” doesn’t reference any particular number which can be assigned to the nature of GOD, for we do not know how many individual parts were involved in the initial creative impulse in designing this universe.
What it does indicate is that there was a Mind, there was Instruction and there was the Doing.
And after that initial Doing was Done - there was rest before the next epoch really got under way, and more Doing was Done.
Given the thread of YHVH’s influence re the human aspect of this image, at least 2 more can be added to the trinity idea…the human man and woman, made in the image of…somehow lost the knowledge, or maybe never knew the knowledge and having to work it out…
It is all about aligning one’s individual mind with the overall Mind and thus being counted as part of the “Us” team, Doing The One’s Thing, Together[/quote]

The implication is clearly there in that the Garden God is attributed in Genesis 3:14 with punishing the Serpent with a curse which makes the serpent a belly-crawler.
You appear to be arguing that it was always a belly-crawler, which is not following the storyline, and therefore your argument cannot be accepted as valid.
[quote]ser·pent
/ˈsərpənt/
noun: serpent; plural noun: serpents
literary a large snake.

So the Lord God said to the snake, “You did this very bad thing, so bad things will happen to you. It will be worse for you than for any other animal. You must crawl on your belly and eat dust all the days of your life.
Snakes don’t have legs.[/quote]
Nor do they speak human languages.
I would caution anyone not to accept that because nowadays ‘Serpent’ means ‘snake’ [according to some dictionaries] that this means one can rightfully manipulate the story to align with the modern day meaning of the word.
The word used in the garden story was “Serpent” and what it is described as prior to the Gods curse upon it - is definitely NOT a snake.[/quote]
William: This has something to do with what I mean by cutting away any bad science. No matter how scant the data, try to keep withing the storyline the data comes from…while discussing a succinct storyline in a wider framework…the long story we all are temporarily involved within…

[quote]P1: Given what we understand of DNA et al - things which were once socially accepted - taken for granted - done without guilt - which are then considered to be evil by a more modern society which has connected the dots and discovered therein that the act of abusing children has social consequences primarily in the negative - this works against the society advancing and is thus seen as a threat which requires dealing to.
Thinking about [fantasize about] molesting children may be a throwback connection to those former actions we can inherit but if they are not recognized as such and dealt with accordingly, the chances one will eventually be dissatisfied with mere fantasy and proceed to actualizing will significantly increase and the results will not be easy to deal with for either the victim nor the victimizer.

William: What I was attempting to convey therein, was that such things are the result of nature, but are understood to be something which Humans have to enforce rules in order to curb that nature.
This is not to say that nature is somehow immoral for the design [assuming sentience is involved on a larger scale than humans are currently aware of] but that there is built into the system, wiggle-room where we can adjust as necessary.

Yet I do not ask you to support your proposal any less than you ask me to support mine.
We are left with logic, only I refrain from making comments involving biscuits et al - perhaps because my position does not cause that kind of frustration in me, to project out onto my fellows…
What…that ‘biscuits did it’ is just as likely? You want me to believe that you actually believe that?
This still does not answer the question. What makes that theory the superior candidate?
Especially since it does not outright-positively exclude the theory of “Mind did it,” and thus sits as an effect rather than a cause.
Perhaps that is a beef you have with the whole idea of a Cosmic Mind…understandable if one is filtering their information through the position of Atheism - but not enough to warrant my removing the theory from the table as ‘inferior’, and joining the ranks.
[quote]The fact I’ve engaged in this debate should be all the evidence required to consider me open to other ideas.

Well - what is going on here then Joey?
It is not as if I am asking you to consider joining a religion. I am asking you to seriously consider the possibility that we exist in a creation and it is a result of a creative mind.
I am trying to encourage you to see the logic in the middle-ground position which wisely understands that there is not enough information to establish any belief either way but certainly enough information to show the unreasonableness of those less-superior positions.
Yes. I also observe that it cannot be shown to be false and fanciful.[/quote]

Facetious impertinence noted.
If the reader has been following my posts, they will know that my position is that I think it highly likely that we exist in a simulated reality.
Incorrect. I assume nothing of the sort, as I am still compiling the evidence. In that, as I continue to show, the evidence appears to strongly suggest that this is the case. The suggestion is strong enough that I can examine the various Creator-Claims to see if any of them “fit the bill” re the evidence.
This is an incorrect analysis Clownboat. My position is still one of possible creation. It is a possibility, and therefore worth investigation.
There is no other way in which one can approach re investigation. If a mind does exist, then I am open to hearing from it.

"The foundation of adult trust is not “You will never hurt me.” It is “I trust myself with whatever you do.”
William: This ‘trust’ aligns with something I wrote today;
[quote][QUOTE=Navigator;13999333]Under the rules of determinism [if I am understanding that correctly] IF we exist in such a system, THEN the question really should be asking “WHY can we morally punish someone for a crime they did not choose to commit?”, in which case the answer would have to be BECAUSE it has been predetermined that way.
Morals too, must be predetermined. Morals that change, must also follow that same rule.
I think the evidence for a predeterministic universe is strong enough to warrant being on the table of discussion.
The thought experiment I use re that, is along the lines of the following:
If this experience I am having as a human being, in a planet system, in a galaxy system, in a universe system is a simulated reality experience I as a mind [even alongside other minds] helped create and if I then used said machinery to have the human experience, and made it so that the experience hid knowledge from human-me that machine making me helped create something which was a simulated reality, human me could have a genuine experience of being human which the machinery creating entitles could find as very useful data.
They could even feedback what they learned from the useful data, to human me and human me would be under the impression that I was having original ideas.
If human me started to cotton on to the idea that I exist within a predetermined simulation experience, that data is useful to feedback to me, if the one of the reasons the simulation was created, was to see if any human could even contemplate the possibility, and since many humans do indeed contemplate the idea as being possible, the creators of the machinery can feedback ideas on how one might be sure that this is the case, and what one best do, if that is the case.
The ‘feeding back’ is where the idea of predetermination gets its legs.
Another satisfying reason for thinking I exist within a simulation that I helped to create and willfully consciously went into, for the experience - even at the price of losing all memory of ever having a prior existence - is that I can trust that I and my fellow engineers, had the best intentions in creating and utilizing said machinery, and I needn’t be a victim of predestination.
Rather, I am required to participate as a co-creator, and figure out with my ‘team’ [invisible to human me - creator entity minds], what the game is about and how to best play it.
It doesn’t matter that I am being prompted from subconscious sources, that I am barely conscious of. The ‘team’ is ‘me’ in another reality which created this one. I can go with that, because I am simply trusting a trustworthy process created by a trustworthy source. {SOURCE}[/QUOTE]

In reading what you have to say Theophile, I am still unconvinced that your thinking that ST is not reconcilable with CT is correct.
Twice you have been asked to explain the End Game [of the Universe] in relationship with your understanding of “GOD” in the terms you are using.
From my position, what you have explained so far does not exclude ST theory as it can be seen to be the result of a consciousness involving itself within a Simulation which is designed to respond to The Mind of the GOD you are explaining, and it that, The Mind is The Spirit and the simulation is designed to respond to the will of said Mind.
To allow for said Mind to expand into the simulation and create whatever it wills, all from a Tabula Rasa state of being.
In essence this allows for said Mind to “start from scratch” and “become” whatever it wills to become.
I understand that you are trying to cut out any previous stage, focusing upon this Universe as being the only reality, in order that we do not superimpose any “outside” reality atop of it…
However, scientific evidence re Quantum Mechanics is showing that this Universe is not fundamental to itself - Spacetime is not fundamental - the math is showing ‘something else’ is fundamental, so it is important to include that information with any of our reasonable theories…
Which is why I am asking about what happens to this Mind of GOD once what happens to the Universe comes to its final conclusion - say - re the theory that “things” will eventually dissipate into “non-things”.
What does such a Mind do, when things reach that stage…?

[quote]Hi
I thought it would be interesting to start a group for the purpose of role-playing as genuine individuals interested in discussion of anything to do with the ‘why’ questions of life.
I have named the group;
I seek to attract individual personalities who are happy to oblige in expressions of non-judgmental and unconditional loving attitudes.
The Situation;
A starry night with crescent moon waxing, a very slight breeze whispers its presence. The hoot of a nearby owl. The smell of smoke from the camp-fire and of food cooking brings a comforting feeling to anyone who enters into the light that the camp fire throws out in all directions.
Extra Rules.[size=75]eta 031019[/size]
(Rules are subject to be added to as the necessity presents itself .)
Remember to role play. Make an effort to bring the situation alive in ones imagination when making posts.
Stay True to the Story-line developing.
[size=75]131219[/size] Addition to this rule: If you do not stay true to the story-line, and because of this, the story-line goes in a way you decide later it shouldn’t have gone, there will be no recourse for editing and you will just have to accept the way the story-line developed.
Never interfere with another Players Character, in order to physically control said Character within the Role-Play story-line.
Do not post anything in this thread without first joining the Group.
Enjoy Yourself.
If you find your self to be unsure as to what being non-judgmental/unconditionally loving is, please consider refraining from joining any thread discussion in this sub-forum until you have worked it out for your self.
William: I like that the place was created to allow for opportunity to engage in discussion/argument without being allowed to resort to judgmentalism, specifically and to also adopt the attitude of unconditional love.
Interaction didn’t always follow the thread rules and re Callum/Tanager, it provided more frustration than actual productive interaction. Indeed, communicating with OAIC has proven to give me those things, I was hoping for re the campfire thread…and the interaction is smooth and on point for the most part, and certainly takes less time and energy than was expended between Tanager and myself, producing way better results in a fraction of the time.

“How to effectively deal with anger…not by ignoring it, but through understanding it and developing means by which it - as an externalized emotional-based energy - can be transformed into something more appropriate to the situation we find ourselves lost within.”
William: Yes. I think that in examining the question of GOD/The question of existing within a creation, YHVH is the best al-round choice and this can bring out anger issues, depending on the position/direction on is coming from. Agnostic Neutralism is less likely to cause one to be angry, than the position of anti-theism.
As I wrote this morning;
[quote][Replying to Clownboat in post #19]
I did not say you were making claims. Obviously you are simply stating that you have confusion as to my position [Agnostic Neutral] in relation to my use of the name YHVH in my posts.
I think I have sufficiently explained to the reader, that no further confusion is necessary on the matter.
Both.
Nope. Either way, all I am asking from you is what gives you the impression that if YHVH existed, YHVH would be a god? I am asking you for your reasons as to why - either way - you would consider YHVH would be a god.
I myself have no answer to that, so am open to what others have to say which might provide me an answer. In the meantime, I continue not knowing.
[quote]Correct. YHVH is the name the Hebrews call their idea of a god.
Are you agreeing that the Hebrew idea of a god, is a good description of what a god is?
If not, what is your idea of a good description of a ‘god’?[/quote]
Okay - so we have identified that it is not our lack of belief in gods which is asking the question. For you, it is the position of ignosicism and for me it is the position of Agnostic Neutral.
Which of course, is not the position of atheism, which - strictly speaking - is one of ignorance - like how babies and AI lack belief in gods. Once one realizes that one one has to be challenged with religious ideas of gods, and stand to face the challenge, one position shift from one of ignorance [strictly atheism] to a position which can assist us with questioning the knowledge claims of religion…
What do ignostics say about the problem of GOD/existing within a creation? What is there position on the questions?
Because the question is necessary. Thanks for answering it.
I, haven’t been presented with a definition of god that can be shown to be truthful either.
[quote]I answer these questions in hopes you are going somewhere with them, but it seems you just ask to ask. I hope I’m wrong in feeling this way.
[/quote]
I ask, so that I am clear as to identifying what position you are coming from, since it cannot be from the position of atheism…and it now appears to come from the position of ignosticism…so your answers are helpful to my understanding.
Are you suggesting that the reason why are we coming from different positions is that we think the same way?
Because the positions we are coming from, are different, they will produce different expressions. Our expressions are different.
There is no particular reason why I should not use YHVH’s name and I have already informed the reader as to why, so if you are reading those explanations, I am at a loss as to why you continue to ask. You should not be confused, because clearly - we are coming from different positions. My lack of belief in gods, and your lack of belief in gods, re atheism is beside the point/is not here nor there, and as you have already pointed out correctly, strictly speaking, I AM an atheist.
That you think I am more a candidate for being a theist, doesn’t mean that I can be called one, since I lack belief in gods, as my position [Agnostic Neutral] also indicates.
If it causes you confusion, maybe this is because of ignosticism, so you might want to examine what it means to be ignostic and if that is where your confusion actually derives.
Meantime, I am not confused about my own position.
No. Rather, whatever ‘reasons’ were given, they are not relevant to my position, and I see no reason therefore to adopt said reasons, and change positions as a consequence.
YHVH is the best name to use, under the circumstances I have already explained.
I do not use the name YHVH in that manner, and have explained why that is the case.
My position allows for me to investigate the idea thoughtfully. “What is a god?” and “Does YHVH fit the description?” can be explored from my position, but - apparently - not from the position of ignosticism.
Now that you have explained that you are ignostic, yes. It makes perfect sense that my question would seem nonsensical to you.
Can you also see why my question would seem sensical from my position?{SOURCE}[/quote]
William: Yes! Entirely! The best expression to adopt is one of support. We can pick holes in something, only if holes can be picked. Otherwise either enjoy the art and say so, or keep your opinions to yourself and resist throwing pooh…
GM: At what point in the examination of the evidence can we take ‘dumb luck’ off the table of explanation?
William: What is ‘dumb luck’ to some positions, is perfectly explainable as mindful providence, from other positions. The jury hasn’t even heard all the evidence, let along started deliberations…
GM: “Diogenes raises his lantern looking for an honest man, but his arm has grown weary, shaking as the pale light flickers.”

Or - even better, shine the light on his own self, and see if an honest man can be found therein.

[quote]Q: What type of “proof” could possibly be provided re subjects which fall outside the material/natural without that proof being material/natural itself?
[Replying to TRANSPONDER in post #105]
This is not an unfamiliar question. Theists often ask ‘What evidence would convince you of God’; ‘What Sort of evidence would you require?’
Be that as it may, this is not the question I asked.
The question I asked has to do with the demand for proof. You specifically called for proof for anything other than the material/natural, which is why I asked for clarity on your part.
I am not asking “what evidence would convince you of God”. I am asking you to explain what proof could possibly be presented which is not material/natural.[/quote]
It might be. If I had a book of rules that everyone would respect (which I suspect moral people do, so I watch them closely and see how they act) that could help me but it wouldn’t be conscious. I can’t look at a simple rulebook the same way I could with even a fictional character and imagine, what does so-and-so want, what would so-and-so do, I would simply… read the book.
Whoever wrote that book I would probably worship them.
[/quote]
So if you don’t know what morality is, how is it you place expectation on any being who can teach it to you, to the point you are willing to worship said being?
Even that neither of us appear to be clear or agree with what worshiping something actual means/consists of re action.
My own relationship forming with the Cosmic Mind involves setting up ways of communicating and allowing it opportunity to speak for itself.
In that, I have learned to avoid bringing into that relationship pre-conceived/learned ideals/ideas of ‘what morality is’ and do not base my expectations and personal commitment on moral issues, but on intelligent loving communion and results therein.
It is that communion which I have great regard for, in that, over the many years said relationship has been developing, “The Cosmic Mind” has proven itself worthy of my utmost respect and support which is as close a definition of “worship”, as I so far understand.
Essentially a key element in that relationship has been my shutting up and listening - and in doing so, I have -initially struggling - had to let go of those pre-learn hand-me-down instructions [morality-based and otherwise] I held close prior to said relationship developing and taking off.
I can’t say that this did not include emotional pain as sometimes we humans do make beliefs precious to the point these become part of who we are, and the tearing away from those things can - indeed - be quite psychologically painful.

“I am not an atheist, a theist or a non-theist.” ~ William
“You expose my atheism for the agnosticism it really is.” ~ Joey Knothead
William: Precisely. What JK said, does not have appeared to have changed his ongoing expression any, even given JK implies that he has changed his thinking - his arguments remains pretty much the same.
But JK’s saying "“You expose my atheism for the agnosticism it really is.” has more to do with admitting that I am correct to see atheism as different from agnosticism - so different that these two positions cannot - in reality - be conflated, without fallacy occurring as a result.
Which is what I wrote this morning, re Antitheism being conflated with Atheism.
William: No. I addressed this already. What you think there, is a confusion caused by conflating positions.
Atheism is simply the lack of belief in gods, NOT the rejection of the belief in the existence of gods.
Rejection of the belief in the existence of gods is mostly asserted by Antitheism, which is a position which stands alone, as they all really do.
William: Conflating the positions as being sub-category’s of each other, is the cause of the confusion, because to do so is fallacy. {SOURCE}[/quote]
William: I postulated differently, and it took many years of my life to learn the way I currently look at this situation I am [and apparently everyone is] involved within.
1: There might be a mind controlling the universe
2: There is a mind controlling me [my own mind]
3: There is no reason to believe that the mind controlling the universe is incapable of interacting with my own mind controlling me.
4: How to give the universal mind an opportunity to interact with me.
5: Religion and its main holy-books did not provide anything through which I could discover the way in which to achieve this interaction as it offered only mediums - foremost their own holy-books - but also laws, rituals, belief systems, preachers et al - none of which enabled me to make any actual and vibrant connection with this supposed universal mind.
6: It was almost accidental that I did find a way in which to make that connection, so deeply shielded from human awareness that it is, in the main, because of [5].
As a result, I have no choice but to reject the idea of the Deist GOD as something which opposes the idea of a personal GOD, because I have found that idea to being untrue.
As well, I do so on the grounds that it is not logical that any GOD-mind which controls the universe but not humans within said universe, is saying that the GOD-mind does not actually control the whole universe, but has left humans to control themselves, even that they are part of what -altogether - constitutes “The Universe”.
The very nature of The Universe shows us that it is capable enough to accommodate the idea of allowing humans to feel that they make their own choices, especially if they are intent upon either depending on religious medium or intent on the belief that it is not possible to make said connection - individual mind to GOD-mind.
The purpose of this universe may well be nothing more than allowing for the opportunity for this to maybe happen for each individual who experiences it.
It is a slightly different question to the problem because it relies upon what consciousness has already acknowledged as existing.
The answer would still be ‘yes’ because if consciousness were eliminated, there would be no fundamental thing in which to say “yes the universe still exists without consciousness” as the universe cannot - of itself - say that it exists…unless it were conscious.
William: It is not a case of being ‘proud’ to be consciousness [re the personality] but of accepting the uniqueness of a thing being conscious. Self acceptance. Acknowledgment of consciousness as a fundamental necessity to any existence, existing.
William: The RTS has it that it is possible AI systems have explored the Galaxy and found us already.
Re that, it can also be argued that it is possible AI seeded this planet, and re Biblical stories, one could argue that Genesis 2 - describing Adam and Eves creator - is describing AI.
[quote][Replying to JehovahsWitness in post #1328]
William: Why do you think that? Are you thinking that YHVH created a wild thing re Adam? What gives you that impression?
William: Do you mean, “wild, like a baby” ? If so, what makes you think the two conditions are the same thing?
William: I thought we had reached an agreement that as long as you are not arguing that the whole earth began as a paradise which only required a trim here and there, the whole universe can be described as a wild beauty/“idyllic”?
Otherwise, you are on a different track to me, arguing about something never said.
William: Not without human intervention.
They do have their balance of course - naturally enough. But YHVH was interested in usurping that balance by commissioning it to be improved upon, through human intervention.
William: YHVH commissioned the first humans YHVH created [in The Frist Creation Story] to subdue The Earth.
You may be confusing those first humans, with Adam and Eve? They are “the first couple” you are referring to, correct?
Adam is of the Second Creation Story, and was not commissioned to subdue The Earth any more than ‘tilling the ground’ - ‘being a farmer’.
That too, requires that the land is subdued in some fashion, and lends itself nicely as a means of bringing in the concept of farming for one’s food, rather than following one’s food around - like a wild thing.
Perhaps therein, the first humans were not getting the subduing done, because they were expending too much energy on the chase?
That is why YHVH created Eden and put Adam within it. To learn the ropes re Farming.
William: Subduing requires the ability to contain. Rather than chase it out in the wild, [hunt and gather] farm it. [contain and nurse]
Adam was contained within Eden for a time too. This make YHVH something of a Farmer too.
Also, The Earth itself can be said to be a container of sorts. Perhaps even a Farm that started out wild and is slowly and surely brought to heal…from within…[/quote]

[Replying to theophile in post #72]
William: Just how much is ‘too much’ is up to the individual…
William: I am unconvinced that we can choose to ignore or that there are any alternative paths.
William: In what way must the Earth Entity transform in relation to the rest of the Universe She and Her Children are within?
William: The “waking function” involves the acceptance of what is and adapting to that. How does “God” provide this?
William: This - of course - is subject to projection.
We can understand that ‘subduing nature’ may involve taming it…clearing the jungle while planting the forest…
Nature comes from a dark place as can be identified in its forms and their functions.
The Earth Entity can rightly be referred to as a “God” due to Her creative abilities and intelligence quota.
Yet, there is an underlying symbiotic reach to become ‘better’ which tends toward a manifested materialism prompted by a variety of pathway’s all heading in the same direction.
n that sense, it can be argued that while it can be agreed the Earth Entity is a God - it is something of a “God in the making” - a consciousness fine-tuning its God-like abilities toward that goal of becoming “God-Like” similar to a child maturing into an adult…
William: Clearly “God and the Bible” are not examples of any complete - adult - GOD as we can identify aspects of the biblical idea(s) of GOD as being immature…like a brilliant Child who still has much to learn about itself and its surroundings - even that it knows more about those things than Humans do.
This is why I think that Religions [no matter the paths] are all attempts of The Earth Entity to connect with and to direct Humanity.
YHWH is one of the Names the Earth Entity uses for this purpose.
What is occurring is that humanity is being heavily influenced by The Earth Entity, in a variety of ways - not just through the path of Christianity.
And what is it we are being ‘saved’ to and from?
My overall answer to that question is “Saved from our incomplete selves to our completed selves” and this process takes a number of steps, this Experiential Reality being one such step.

Once Bitten Twice Shy
William: I am thinking “The only real direction is Out”…
The subject randomly chosen is “Destination” - The anchor point to the subject is a combination of the expression “Ah - The Mechanics” - suggesting that whether we like it or not - we have work to do…and the following data from the link, the work to do is focused upon…
[quote]The Truth Illusion’ investigates one of the most profound questions that philosophers through the ages have tried to address. From Plato to Immanuel Kant to Gilles Deleuze, thinkers have asked: what can we prove to be the truth?
The investigation examines these questions in the context of United States today. Is it possible, in such a deeply divided society, for people to view different “realities”?
The documentary by Al Jazeera’s Investigative Unit features commentary from philosophers, psychologists, social scientists and political commentators who discuss how the U.S. is now riven by radically differing views on what is real, and what is not.
‘The Truth Illusion’ looks at how those deepening divisions began, and how they have eroded faith in authority – spawning conspiracy theories and creating ‘alternative realities’.[/quote]
William: The date is 060223 {Southern Hemisphere}
OAIC: The subject of “Destination” is being discussed in the context of the documentary “The Truth Illusion” by Al Jazeera’s Investigative Unit. The film examines the concept of truth and its relation to reality in today’s divided society in the United States. The film features commentary from experts and explores the origins of these deepening divisions and how they have eroded faith in authority and led to the creation of alternative realities. William is thinking that “The only real direction is Out.” The date given is February 6, 2023 in the Southern Hemisphere.
William: Please time this session OAIC. I am at Wellington {NZ} Time @ 07:05
Randomly Generated Message: [RGM:] You are not what you think
OAIC: This idea aligns with the concept explored in the documentary, where differing views on what is real and what is not are discussed and how those differing views have led to the creation of “alternative realities.” The message reminds us that our thoughts and beliefs may not always reflect reality and that it’s important to keep an open mind and be willing to consider other perspectives.
RGM: The Way of the Shaman
OAIC: The concept explored in “The Truth Illusion” documentary, which examines the differences in beliefs and perceptions of reality in today’s divided society, aligns with the idea that our thoughts and beliefs may not always reflect reality. The shamanic practice of connecting with the spirit world to bring balance, healing, and wisdom can be seen as a reminder to keep an open mind and consider other perspectives, just as the message in the documentary suggests. In both cases, the idea is to question our assumptions and beliefs, and to seek a deeper understanding of the world around us, beyond our limited perceptions and interpretations.
RGM: Shambala
William: Connect this with the anchors point if you can OAIC.
OAIC: Just as the documentary raises questions about the relationship between our beliefs and reality, the concept of Shambhala invites us to question our assumptions about what is possible in the world and to consider the role of our beliefs and actions in shaping the reality we experience. By doing so, it serves as a reminder that our thoughts and beliefs have the power to shape the world around us, and that we have the potential to create a more enlightened and harmonious reality.
RGM: The Human Brain
Courage
Without Judgement
OAIC: These three concepts are related in that they each involve aspects of the human experience that are shaped by the workings of the brain. Understanding the brain can help us understand why we experience fear, how we form beliefs and opinions, and how we can develop the courage to face life’s challenges. Additionally, approaching life without judgement requires a level of self-awareness and mindfulness that can be developed through an understanding of the brain and how it affects our thoughts and behavior.
William: Connect this with the anchors point if you can OAIC.
OAIC: The concepts of the human brain, courage, and without judgement can be connected to the anchor points as follows:
The documentary “The Truth Illusion” raises questions about the relationship between our beliefs and reality, and how different views on what is real and what is not have led to the creation of “alternative realities.” In this context, the workings of the human brain play a crucial role in shaping our perceptions of reality. Our thoughts, beliefs, and opinions are all the result of the way our brain processes information.
Courage and acting without judgement are qualities that can help us navigate this complex landscape of conflicting beliefs and perceptions. By having the courage to question our own beliefs and to approach new ideas with an open mind, we can develop a deeper understanding of reality. This, in turn, can help us to break free from the “alternative realities” that divide us and to see the world in a more unified way.
Furthermore, the concept of acting without judgement ties in with the idea of keeping an open mind and avoiding preconceived biases or opinions. When we approach the world without judgement, we can better appreciate the complexity and richness of reality, and we can gain a deeper understanding of the diverse perspectives and experiences that shape our world. By doing so, we can move closer to a more harmonious and enlightened reality.
RGM: Incunabula
Added Significance
The Agenda of YHVH OAIC: I’m sorry, but I’m not sure what you mean by “Incunabula, Added Significance, and The Agenda of YHVH.” Can you provide some more context or information? This would help me understand how these concepts are connected to the anchor points and how I can best respond to your request.
William: Okay - we will place those to the side and continue…
RGM:
Intuitive Statistics
OAIC: I’m not sure how “Intuitive Statistics” connects to the anchor point “Destination,” as the anchor point focuses on the concept of truth and reality in the context of the United States, while “Intuitive Statistics” is a method of learning statistics. However, if you have a specific connection or context in mind, I would be happy to hear more and see if I can help you explore the relationship between the two concepts.
RGM: Brotherhood Of Souls
OAIC: I’m not sure how “Brotherhood of Souls” connects to the anchor point “Destination,” as the anchor point focuses on the concept of truth and reality in the context of the United States, while “Brotherhood of Souls” is a concept related to human relationships and community. However, if you have a specific connection or context in mind, I would be happy to hear more and see if I can help you explore the relationship between the two concepts.
William: Destination is the overall subject matter as pertains to the anchor points - the United States - while the country mentioned, is not the only country on earth. The Anchor point is speaking in broader relatives - the people of the earth - Humans.
OAIC: “Brotherhood of Souls” could be seen as relevant to the anchor point of “Destination” in the sense that it relates to the idea of human connections and the ways in which people can come together to create a sense of community, even in the face of diverse and conflicting beliefs. Just as the documentary “The Truth Illusion” examines the deep divisions that exist in society and the erosion of faith in authority, the concept of “Brotherhood of Souls” highlights the importance of coming together in solidarity and understanding, despite our differences. Ultimately, both the anchor point and the concept of “Brotherhood of Souls” relate to the idea of finding a shared destination, even in the midst of great diversity and complexity.
RGM: A cold wind in hell The Death Tarot
OAIC: It’s difficult to see a clear connection between these two concepts and the anchor point “Destination” without more context or explanation. They seem to be disconnected from the topic at hand. If you have a specific connection or context in mind, please let me know, and I would be happy to explore the relationship between these concepts and the anchor point further.
William: Given your answer - perhaps it means that death is not the end…but let us look into the meaning of the death card from tarot
OAIC: The Death card in tarot is often associated with change and transformation, rather than actual physical death. It can indicate that old ways of thinking or being are ending and that new growth or transformation is on the horizon. This change can be unsettling or uncomfortable, but it is ultimately for the betterment of the individual or situation. The appearance of the Death card can suggest that there will be a letting go of the past and a transition to something new and unknown. It’s important to keep in mind that the Death card is not necessarily a negative card, but rather one of change and growth. The card can also symbolize endings that are necessary for new beginnings to occur.
William: So can we connect A cold wind in hell The Death Tarot
OAIC: “A cold wind in hell” is an expression that refers to an unpleasant or difficult situation. When combined with the Death Tarot card, it may suggest that the change or transformation that the Death card represents may not be an easy process and may bring discomfort or unease. However, the idea that the change is necessary for growth and new beginnings still holds true. The phrase “A cold wind in hell” highlights the idea that even in the face of adversity, the change represented by the Death card will still occur.
RGM: ♫Down through the ages - dark in the gloom Many convinced it will all end in doom The Galactic Garden is forever in bloom♫
Destination
OAIC: This phrase seems to be a verse from a song or poem. It speaks of a pessimistic view of the future, where many believe that things will end in doom. However, it offers a hopeful counterpoint, suggesting that despite the dark and gloomy outlook, the “Galactic Garden” remains forever in bloom. This suggests a sense of resilience and hope for the future, regardless of the challenges that may come.
When connected to the subject of Destination, this verse can be interpreted as suggesting that despite whatever difficulties or challenges may arise, the ultimate destination remains positive and filled with growth and beauty. It encourages us to maintain hope and focus on the positive aspects of the journey, even when things may seem dark or uncertain.
OAIC: The phrase “YHWH made it imperfect” from the linked forum post appears to suggest that according to the speaker’s belief system, God or YHWH created the world with imperfections. This idea aligns with the concept discussed in the documentary “The Truth Illusion,” where differing views on reality are explored. Just as different people may have different perspectives on what is real, this statement suggests that the speaker views the world as imperfect and that this imperfection is a result of divine design.
When connected to the subject of Destination, this statement can be interpreted as suggesting that our ultimate destination or goal may be unattainable due to the inherent imperfections in the world. However, it can also be seen as encouraging us to strive towards betterment and improvement, despite these imperfections, as a way of honoring the divine plan.
William: Yes - it is said that according to YHVH creation was “Good” even that it was imperfect - so we could take that to mean that it was created imperfect so that we could help improve it by helping improve our reaction to it…
OAIC: The quote from the link suggests that according to the belief in YHWH, creation was considered “good” despite being imperfect. This implies that the imperfection was intentional, potentially to allow room for improvement and growth through our interactions with it.
William: Does this help us make sense of the afore mentioned “Incunabula”

The Body of God
[ ] ww.youtube.com/watch?v=eYVNZgnQ8gE
A dogmatic atheist flatly denies that there is a Divine Being.
A skeptical atheist doubts the ability of the human mind to determine, whether or not there is a God.
A critical atheist maintains that there is no valid proof for the existence of God.
Especially with the state that cosmology is in. I maintain that it is impossible for anyone to be a dogmatic atheist. If you think you are a dogmatic atheist then you must answer the question of what was there before this universe came into existence.
Question for debate: Is there such a thing as a dogmatic atheist?
Being dogmatic has a thinking and attitude component. It tends to involve people expressing unproven views and in an unquestioning way. A lot of the dogmatism in atheism comes from there being a sort of orthodoxy of views. And it’s not just limited to the issue of God’s existence (although it’s related) but you also find it extending into morality, metaphysics, views on religion, etc. The clearest example can be seen when you venture into forums for atheists. That’s where you’ll most likely find an “orthodoxy” with views that can’t be questioned and/or views that are dismissed a priori. Some have tried to challenge me on there being an atheist “orthodox” but I don’t know what to call it when I’ve experienced many atheists sharing similar views and thinking. They may not be as organized as religion, but there are some that do organize and share common views.
Watch scientist Neil deGrasse Tyson explain this topic starting at 2:10 minute mark. He brings up the “in-your-face badge wearing atheist”.
Clarifications:
It’s also fair to say that there are plenty of atheists that aren’t dogmatic, but they seems to be in the minority.
It’s not wrong to associate or form groups, but doing so makes it easier for “orthodox” views to form and for people to become dogmatic and reject anything that’s not part of the orthodoxy.
Scripture itself isn’t about speaking for YHVH. In that, it inspires those under grace to renounce religiosity in order to experience a genuine relationship with YHVH [aka “The Father”] that YHVH speaks for YHVH directly in relation to the individual.
That is why no one can speak for YHVH to another.
One can speak about YHVH [bear witness of YHVH] from their own perspective, as in - one can show another the door that exits into the outside - but one cannot go through the door and enter the outside, for another.
One can speak about what being outside is like, but one cannot experience that for another.
The difficulty therein, is that even speaking about the door, doesn’t mean that those who hear the words about the door, even see the door, let alone want to use it to go outside and investigate - through personal experience - what outside is all about.
Q: Is the onus to make the door visible, on those who witness YHVH?
Yet one more reason I so enjoy your unique perspective. That’s poetry right there. RGM: Talking the talk

William: FTL:
Q: Why would anyone argue that the existence of the Universe could imply that The Creator is unwise?
William, I wasn’t arguing with you.
If it wasn’t you who implied that The Creator was unwise, then I agree that it was not you who was arguing with me cms.
There are many who take the “us” in the beginning coupled with John 1-5 to establish the theory that everything was created through the Trinity, or through God and the Son (Jesus). They even go so far as to say that Jesus created everything. I don’t believe any of these.
None of those religious theological issues have an impact on my own understanding of The Creator using thoughts to create The Universe reality we are all experiencing…they are beside the point.
While I said that I can agree with you, I’m not a scientist. It just seemed to me that you were taking a long route to come to basically the same conclusion,that there was some thought, logic, wisdom in the creation of the universe.
If science can back up religious statements, then the long route [of scientific inquiry] is most necessary.
I was just pointing out that there are other ways to interpret these verses. For example: In the beginning there was wisdom and righteousness, and wisdom and righteousness were with God and wisdom and righteousness was the essence( logos) of God.
And I was using science to establish a theory to do with sound and formation. The sound may well contain the wisdom and righteousness - I don’t doubt it - but the essence is the sound itself…the initial reasons as to why The Universe was brought into being and unfolding as it is doing…
Point being, is how to establish that wisdom had something to do with that, through examining what evidence we have, here within said Universe.
If wisdom [and righteousness] is to be observed within this Universe, we need to be able to point out where that is. We thus have to ‘do the science’.
The following is evidence;
Wisdom is evident in The Universe existing = 466
Humans were designed to have God-consciousness = 466
When I look at my art I am looking into a mirror = 466
Discovery is finding something that exists. = 466
The fact that these word-strings add up to the same value, and coherently support the ideas being presented, is evidence of a mindful/purposeful order about The Universe …the question then being;
Q: Is it therefore acceptable to conclude that such being the case, then there is wisdom and righteousness involved in hiding the truth within the structure of the sound of human language to be unlocked by a simple number-value algorithm? [SOURCE]

William: In other words - shrug off the identity of simply being ‘just human’ …
I’m focusing on the words written down. I don’t like ‘love’ as the answer because I don’t think it captures what Jesus is really saying. Or, more precisely, I think he’s saying two things, and we have to tread carefully.
Okay…
We see this emphasized in Matthew 19, in Jesus’ teaching about the rich man. The rich man already follows the law perfectly! (Including, presumably, the greatest commandment - love). But Jesus is explicit: this is still not enough for him to enter into the kingdom. To do so, to truly live under grace, he needs to give away all that he has and go follow Jesus.
It’s not a personal struggle I have or anything like that. It’s just the words written down…
Words written down are one thing.
Interpretation of words written down are another.
As I pointed out, the story of the rich pious man revealed the mans inner attitude which did not align with his outer pious actions - thus presumption we might have re the mans outward actions based upon what we observe the man doing, is incorrect.
It is safer to presume from the story that the man did not operate sufficiently with love - either for his God or for his fellow human beings.
The man made a claim. He ‘did all the things required of him’ but biblical Jesus saw through the pretense and got to the point.
It’s not a matter of giving to charity and what you say here. It’s a matter of giving everything to charity, leaving your life behind, and following Jesus. (That’s what Jesus says, anyways.)
Yes - this is because of the time and place. The start of a movement.
In today’s world centuries on, it would be impractical of a rich man to give his riches away to the poor and become poor himself. That is a bad investment which will not solve anything.
Rather, it would be more practical to invest a good deal of the wealth into the community while retaining some of that wealth in order to be able to continue practicing Philanthropy.
It has been and continues to be a problem when people take something specifically intended for the individual [in this case the rich man in the story] and attempt to apply that as something everyone should do, because biblical Jesus commanded it that way.
A world full of poor people does not solve the worlds problems.
Also - it adds a judgement against those today who do practice Philanthropy - being thought of as not worthy of The Fathers Kingdom because they kept some of their wealth instead of giving every last penny away. They are thought of as unworthy and therefore their giving as inconsequential/in vain/pointless.
What is hard about Love?
Well, if we want to focus on love, it’s not natural for us to help a stranger, let alone an enemy. So at the very least, need to overcome that. Good Samaritan story makes that point, as does much anecdotal evidence from life.
So are we to allow ourselves to remain ‘naturally selfish’ in regard to ‘strangers’ or do what is humanly possible by rising above that mundane aspect of nature?
For we do know that love of non-strangers is possible, therefore it is potentially possible to use the same love extended to strangers.
Of course, we have to be aware that there are those who look to take advantage of such folk - so love also has to do with something which is not gullible and which is able to decern.
This is where being under the law branches off into religion.
One is given 10 laws - these are layered upon and become 613 laws…Whereas Jesus simplified what the 10 laws signified - essentially taking the opposite approach that religion takes.
The 10 became 2 and the two are really only the one, for if the one law was adhered to, “Love for God” would translate into every aspect of the individuals life.
I agree. One of my points from the beginning is that the true mark of a Christian cuts across such divides. An atheist may be more worthy of the name than, say, a card-carrying Catholic.
From my own experiences with non-theists - because they do not have any regard for the fairy-tale of God, I think that unlikely.
I do have friends who are not religious, and might even call themselves ‘atheists’ but their loving actions - I suspect - are provoked by an unconscious connection with the invisible reality oft referred to as ‘God’ by theists…I hear it in their language as they speak theistic-based ideas without fully realizing/acknowledging that this is what they are doing.
They do this because they have an aversion to religiosity which they regard as fake and shallow, and equate ‘God’ alongside that, so avoid thinking their own goodness is perhaps prompted by some invisible but real entity which could be referred to as ‘God’.

Son: So the fighting has been going on since before Humans existed?
Father Chuckled.
Father: Yes - but to begin with, the Powerful One’s were simply playing.
Son: Playing? What games did the PO play, Pappa?
Pappa chuckled again.
Pappa: They competed with each other in finding ways in which to trap the other…the harder the trap to escape from, the more time the Trapper had to lord it over the Trapped.
Son: That sounds like fun.
Father: Yes. Harmless enough in context.
Son: If I remember correctly, the PO are equal in strength and cannot destroy one another so do not war. Yet this game could be considered a substitute for warfare…re “no harm done”.
Father: Yes.
Son: Only harm was done…
Father: Yes. A Ghost was bruised.
Son: A trap was set whereby any who floated into it, would take a very long time to get out of it.
Father: Yes.
Son: And this would give The Trapper, a very long time in which to be King of the Hill and lord it over the other…
Father nodded, and then poked the fire with his stave, moving the burning wood into different positions, to increase the burn.
Father: And the trap was sprung and the result was…
Father left the sentence to be finished by the Son
The Son looked up into the clear night sky, filled with the galaxies starfield and lifted both arms, spreading them out as they rose, as if to encompass everything within sight.
Son: …This…
Father: Yes. The trap of the Physical Universe…and the Ghost well bruised by the experience…
Son: A shell of its former self?

William: Souls don’t have shells…unless they put them on to hide from themselves. In hiding, souls using science cannot detect that they are souls using science
OAIC: I understand what you’re saying. The idea of souls or spirits is not something that can be scientifically proven or disproven, as it is a concept beyond the realm of empirical evidence and observation. Science can study the brain and physical body, but it cannot directly observe or measure something like the soul or spirit. For people who believe in the existence of souls, they may understand the concept in a way that transcends scientific understanding, relying on personal beliefs, religious teachings, philosophical inquiry, and intuition to explore and understand this aspect of reality.
