Instead of saying to others,

"You do not tolerate or respect the beliefs of others"

. . . you should be saying,

" I respect and tolerate those who believe in total crap and respect them no matter how stupid their beliefs."



Once you choose to believe something, you are (by definition) rejecting all other ideas. Whether you choose verbalize this stance or not has nothing to do with "tolerance" or "acceptance."

Actually there is more scientific proof that metaphysical "phenomena" like remote viewing etc works than anything you mentioned above yet people still label it as mumbo jumbo crystal ball stuff. You are conditioned as to what to believe daily by the scientific/medical community among others.

Of course you can alter the way a person behaves by altering their brain since the mind uses the brain as a vehicle to control the body and interact with the physical world.

But you cannot change who a person is by altering their brain. I can cut off your hand and it won't affect who you are, just your behaviour. You will be mad at me and screaming in pain but you will still be the same person.

I can mess with your car's steering or your brakes and everyone on the freeway will think you are a drunken idiot by the way you drive but have I actually changed you by doing this?

Well they say never get into arguments about religeon or politics as it usually dead ends. I had a feeling this thread would begin to degenerate into a pissing match but I would expect nothing less from GFY.

I am glad it brought so many open minded people out though so a big thanks to punker barbie.

I am not so quick to accept that our bodies are "rented" and that they "do not make us what we are" because I am counting on seeing bodies (like punker barbie's) once I get to heaven!

HEY, I guess I don't have to go to heaven . . . I could just check out the Miss GFY contest!!!

Most people believe what they want to be true. Works out rather conveniently.

Where? Show it to me now. There is NO scientific proof remote viewing is real at all. After all these years, millions of dollars invested in it, there is simply np scientific proof. Even people like KRL who studied stuff like this for 30 years can bring nothing to the table when hes asked. Im sure he can talk for hours about it, give all these cool examples, knows how did what and when but proof?? No.

Im open to it, im very open minded, just show it to me man. Show me its real. So far all have failed.

If anybody wants to show me some proof in Florida during Internext, im available, im more than willing to listen and look at it. But for some reason i have the feeling nobody will do this. Proof me wrong, please.

Dirty F

Krl, i count on you. Are you going to Floriday in August? Of all people you with your 30 yr investigating can show me something right? You can show me something that will change my mind right?

Its always interesting watching the nihilist and the believers slug it out being that neither have any proof. Who cares if there is nothing happens after you die? Would it be so bad? You won't have to worry about anything, no pain, nothing? With the vastness of the universe who's to say your exact combination of molecules and electrical signals won't be created else where in time? Who knows, an identical copy of you may be having this exact same argument millions of light years away as we speak! Sort of an indirect reincarnation.

Personally I don't care. I don't have a religion and find the ideas of heaven and hell to be too childish to be reality.

Meta Ridley

No wives tale, and Eistien proved that a small amount of mass can turn into huge amonuts of energy with his famous equation, E=mc2. E being energy and m being mass , c being the speed of light,, you can see how a small amount of mass can produce huge amounts of energy.

I have no desire to "convince" you.
I could hold an apple in front of your face and you could still say you don't believe in apples and I must have painted an orange red or something.

What is great is that you have an open mind and will consider the possibility that this or that may be true.

Some things I know to be true based on personal experience.
Some things I believe to be true based on the most logical explanation.

THERE IS A BIG DIFFERENCE.

The Earth is round is something I believe but not something I know as I have never been into space or travelled non-stop around the world.

Remote viewing however fits into both these categories.
I tried it once and was reasonably accurate in describing a target given only lat/long coords.

I have also attended lectures given by Joe McMoneagle, a top remote viewer who began his training in STARGATE, where he cited numerous examples of his abilities tested on television. It is not a perfect science with accuracies in the 50 to 75% range but well above chance.



I would love to talk metaphysics with you over a few beers but will probably be out of the country during Internext, but here is a quick example from your "neighborhood".


A documentary on French TV in Jan 2004

["Les Lundis de l'Investigation." Canal Plus (Network TV France)]

This is a show which includes a double-blind, live on-camera remote viewing which was successful. Joe did the remote viewing from his dining room in Virginia while the Outbounder target persons (people he was asked to target and describe as to their location) were in Paris, France. What is significant here, is that one of the Outbounders was the most vocal skeptic in France and the other was the head of the Parapsychological Association of America (Mario Varvoglis). As a result of the success, suit was brought to prevent the show from being aired on national television. The suit failed and it will be aired on a different channel on the 19th of January from the one originally intended. This is a significant showing in France - where the paranormal is generally not believed possible.

True.

That said, sometimes the whole is more than the sum of it's parts.

The plane does not become lighter!

What difference does it make that they are flying or not? None what so ever.

Weight is force as a result of the pull of gravity on a mass.

The mass of the 747 is constant at all times even when the birds are flying so therefore their weight will always be the same.

Do any of you have a bird? If so put its cage on a scale and find its mass.....wait till the bugger gets flying (Alternatively prod it) and the mass will not change.

One of my all time favorite threads on GFY. Thanks again Punker Barbie
