2016-12-14 at 11:34 PM UTC in Life is more interesting without scientific labelings
Originally posted by Open Your Mind No, I don't agree a spirit is in and of itself supernatural. I don't believe that would discredit spirituality because as I see it spirituality is a deeply personal and subjective thing. As a metaphor, someone with an unusual fetish might find a regular everyday experience to be sexual. A person without that fetish would not agree that it is sexual. That does not mean that one of those people are wrong, or stupid, rather they just view that experience differently. Similarly people who view an experience as spiritual are not necessarily wrong or stupid, they just view it differently.
Mq, would you label the experiences you refer to as spiritual? Why or why not? Do you think people who have spiritual experiences have differences in their brain?
I would say that calling something spiritual is no different than calling something profound or awakening. Obviously the term spirituality has many different perspectives and is commonly used in a religious sense or with things like yoga and meditating and all that jazz. I wouldn't personally say that I've ever had a spiritual experience based on my aforementioned statement. I don't know what a spirit is or a soul is or if they exist, if you know what I mean.
I feel as though it's simply a label for an unordinary experience but doesn't by any means conclusively demonstrate that there in fact were 'spirits' involved. Growing up a Christian and well into my adult life I have certainly experienced moments with God that at the time I would've absolutely claimed them as spiritual under the preface of spirituality as it's associated with those religious beliefs. Looking back I can now see that I was creating the illusion of something that likely wasn't real. My experiences were real, of course, my feelings were real, but it was nothing more complex than experiencing those feelings and giving that experience a label.
Like I said, I don't think spirituality is well defined enough to where you could ever see someone else experiencing something and claim to know or point out that they are having a spiritual experience. You can only claim it for yourself and when you do so you are deciding that what you've gone through pertains to something unnatural. I can say that I'm having a spiritual experience right now while I type this but it doesn't mean anything and it doesn't make it true.
I don't know if that makes any sense. In short, spirituality is ill-defined and can't be conclusively demonstrated as an actual supernatural experience. If you want to call a moment of enlightenment a spiritual experience that makes sense but doesn't mean there is truly any spirituality going on even if you feel as though there is.

2016-12-14 at 8:22 AM UTC in The retarded thread: Fuck, §m£ÂgØL made one first editionMoreo Oreo please and sanks. Tequila shots with eggnog chasers sound just delightful. Tis the season to be jolly.
My downstairs neighbor was just outside with the cops for the last half hour. I saw them searching her car but I was inside so I couldn't really see what was going on. She ended up not getting arrested but she may have been with someone who did which is what I'm thinking. I know she has a BLACK BOYFRIEND so SURELY he had some CRACK COCAINE in his possession. Either way she's downstairs now rabbling on about it to someone loudly because I can't ever hear her through the floor normally. I think I'm gonna call the cops and file a noise complaint just to help her out. XD Oh dang I forgot their number guess she's safe. -

Originally posted by littleasianlady You're wrong and arguing for no reason.
I'm sorry to tell you this but it is in fact you who are wrong and arguing for no reason. I wish it didn't have to be this way.There is no proof of black holes. There is no photographic evidence of a black hole. There is no proof, only theories, of black holes.
On the contrary, there is photographic evidence of massive bodies that do not emit light and which have sufficient mass and density to bend light that approaches them to a degree that we would expect some of the light approaching them can not escape. This, as far as I'm concerned, satisfies all the criteria for a thing being a black hole.THEY WERE THEORIES THAT UNDERWENT RIGOROUS TESTING AND BECAME PROOFS.
Well they didn't become formal proofs. We do seem to have a lot of good evidence for radio waves, yes, but then we also have some good evidence for black holes. There is qualitatively nothing different about anticipating the effects produced by radio waves and black holes, both constitute evidence towards the existence of their respective phenomenon.FOR FUCKS SAKE WE EVEN HAVE RADAR. THIS STUFF IS PROVEN BEYOND A DOUBT. I AM USING WIFI RIGHT NOW. PROOF OF CONCEPT PROOF OF FEASIBILITY. PROVEN.
I mean frankly your notion of "proof" is kind of comically naive but alright. We also have "proof" of black holes, that is we can anticipate their effects and observe them with a degree of accuracy and reliability. You keep yelling about how proved radio waves are but I've yet to see a reason out of you why something like observed gravitational lensing does not constitute a "proof" by the same standards.NOT LIKE YOUR FAGGOT BLACK HOLE.

Originally posted by littleasianlady You can measure temperature just by feeling it with your skin. It's not a theory. Temperature is proven to exist.
But why is indirectly sensing something by one organ different than another (sensing heat through skin vs from observing visual distortions)? Your ability to detect heat is just as fallible as sight.
You mentioned radio telescopes before, do you also relegate radio waves to "merely a theory" because we can not directly experience them?The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

Originally posted by Malice Look at what you're saying. It's so similar to the faith people have in religion/god, or the state. Disgusting animals, humans are impure untrustworthy creatures.
You see, you go out of your way to attack me, you're the one starts things. I'm honestly surprised to see you, I thought I may have pushed you to suicide.
Yea, you're so much better off, being totally rational and shutting yourself off from the world. If only we could all aspire to be like you. -

2016-12-11 at 8:14 PM UTC in Sophie's treasure hunt.(1)..GEMATRIA: is the method of interpretation by means of which a name
or word of a certain numerical value is related to others of the same value.
In this manner numbers become associated with ideas. An example
commonly given is MShICh (Messiah) which numerically is 358, which is
also the numerical value of IBA ShILH ("Shiloh shall come" - Genesis,
chapter 49, verse 10). The letter value of Shin is 300, and this became an
emblem of Divinity because Ruach Elohim (RUCh ALHIM), "The spirit of the
Living God," is also 300 when interpreted numerically.
(2)..NOTARICON: or Abbreviation, takes two forms: (a) .. A word is formed
from the initials or finals of a sentence. For example in the Book of
Deuteronomy (chapter 30, verse 12), Moses asks, "Who shall go up for us
to Heaven?" - MI IOLH LNV HShMILH - the initials spelling MILH, meaning
Circumcision, and the finals IHVH, the Holy Name or Tetregrammaton. For
this reason it is claimed that Circumcision is a feature of the way to God in
heaven.
(b)..Is the reverse of this process.
(3)..TEMURA: is more complicated and it has led to a great variety of
modes of interpretation.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -
