- the bible..............*sighs* (Last post by Abhaya Budhil)
- I once heard a minister say, "I believe that the Bible is the word of God. I do not believe that the Bible is the words of God." By that he meant that the underlying messages are what God wants us to learn, but it should not be taken literally and there are parts of it that just aren't true or don't make sense. It is the moral lessons that we should take from it, but not necessarily follow every last minute detail of the book. That is how I tend to regard the Bible as well.
- A New Interpretation Of The Ascension (Last post by Leandros Von)
- I have to say when Peter Griffin in Family Guy spoke of becoming a Muslim because he could shout "Admiral Ackbar" all day, I couldn't breathe for laughing at it. I don't always find family guy funny, they take some things beyond satire, but I didn't think I was laughing at the Muslim faith, I was laughing at his incorrect interpretation of it. I'd say that this falls into the same category, look at it from the point of view that if we seen someone "Ascend" today we would wonder what the hell is going on, when back then it was "must be god". (which would lead me to presume that they were very 'ST' back in the biblical days). Why is it offensive to say that he may have been abducted by aliens, hell perhaps Jesus could fly... we do after all think he was an early Jedi right... perhaps he figured out how to use the force. I understand the original intention of the "offensive" comment, but surely you can't expect us to walk around like we have a stick up our backsides.. Jediism is fun, and alas this IS the humour section :)
- Past lives, seriously? (Last post by Abhaya Budhil)
- I believe that I will be reincarnated many times over. I do not necessarily mean that everything that I am will come back in a single being. I mean that my life energy will be released at the moment of my death, and it will become part of the energy that surrounds us. I will become part of everything because my life energy will add to the energy of creation. Through this, I will be reincarnated in many forms because my energy will help birth new beings. I plan to make sure I am directly reincarnated as a tree in addition to the many other beings that I will be reincarnated as at the same time. My death will bring about new life. It is all part of a cycle. For life, there must be death.

- A sense of disconnection. (Last post by Raikoutenshi)
- Some very wise things have been said here and I thank you all for your opinions and advice very much. I've been going through a period in my life where a lot is changing and I have to rethink everything. It is nice to know that I can always find support here and that others know what I a going through. I suppose I just need to let time go by and evolve the relationships that I have, as well as accept other potential relationships to regain my social health. If others accept me for who I am then without even talking about being a jedi I can know that they understand it simply because they see how I practice it every day. In getting to know others, I can better understand myself. I would like to share my immense gratitude to all who have posted here. I have come to a much better understanding through your comments and advice. Thank you and may the Force be with you.

- So, space was born, how? (Last post by Br. John)
- Quote: Whyte Horse has it. That's basically what I was saying. But it's just a concept. I don't know if such a thing is valid. On another note, I just started reading this book called Biocentrism and it's really interesting. It talks about how consciousness fits in with the existence of the universe. It's not a spiritually-centered book, just science. I've used this book in advanced training. There's a wonderful abridgment of it here www.nbcnews.com/id/31393080/ns/technolog...fe-creates-universe/ . Don't miss this treasure www.robertlanzabiocentrism.com/ .

- How Many Heads Do You Have? (Last post by Jestor)
- Quote: Quote: Quote: Now can we really call mind2 a mind? It doesn't actually do any thinking, it's a mere model. It observes.... Which is how we should being mind1 as well, right? Not thinking, not judging, just observing... Does it really observe? If I make a robot, or more properly an android, and put a brain in it, but only a model of a brain, all the computer chips and motors being in the central cavity, does this brain observe? If I put the wings of a bird on a elephant, can it fly? Did you build the robot to observe? The 'roomba' robot observes, however elementary, its environment so as to be able to vacuum a room... Or would you make one out of a chunk of clay that does not even have the promise of doing any thinking? Quote: The model of me, inside my head, might move and speak, but only as I see myself doing. The brain or mind in that model doesn't actually do anything. You may perceive your brain or mind translating all those signals, from outside of your mind, but when I perceive my mind working, my brain translating signals from my eyes, translating signals from my brain to my mouth, I do it from my thought processing center, inside the same mind. Sure, someone else said 'levels', so run with that...:) Quote: Your description of how you see your brain, are like looking into a glass box, holding a working model of the room you're in. I have that same room, that same glass box, but all it is is a glass box. If i want to see my thoughts I don't look into the box at my computer, I turn away from the box and look at my computer. If I want to see my vision, I look at my tv, not into the glass box at the miniatures of the room. Perhaps I am not being clear enough...:) Imagine you are watching yourself on tv... You dont really know what the actor is going to do, but you watch it... Its like that... Now, look at it like a video game... You control the guy a bit... You make him pickup a stick,however, you didnt make him crouch down, extend his hand, grasp the stick, and straighten back up... All you did, via the controller, was say, 'grab the stick'... Be the controller...
- Discussion Thread - SZ's Journal (Last post by Jestor)
- I will publicly post them here...;) We do not allow others to comment in journals because it gets in the way of the journal being checked... A journal, as we use it here, is not really for discussion... Threads have a way of going off track, and we hope to keep this to a minimum by restricting the posts to the bare minimum... KNights and above, besides the journals owners, are all that is allowed to post in journals...EDIT: and even Knights and above, we ask for it to be done sparingly...;) We delete comments without even reading them... And we have gotten messages from journal owners asking for comments from others to be removed, as well as 'thank you's from them when we beat them to the idea... We cannot allow it in some, and not in others... The discrepancy causes even more work for our already overworked staff... I have answered, what I thought were questions in journals, only to be told publicly, or via PM, that the question was rhetorical, and only there for the student to ask themself... I hope this clears it up for you...:) Any other questions, please feel free to ask.... Also, as this is not about 'Jediism', I have moved it...;) Good luk, and carry on...:)
