    • Seems Quiet Around Here? (Last post by meganrtaylor)
    • Rickie the Grey Quote: If I over think intuition it get's jumbled. I completely agree. Once you start to think about your intuition, you immediately over think your intuition. Always go with your gut. Once I learned to trust my intuition, instinct, gut, whatever you want to call it, I was able to become a much better medic. The ability to overcome the egos need to control instinct is a very helpful tool in your Jedi toolbox.
    • Charged With Felony For Lesbian Relationship (Last post by Wescli Wardest)
    • I like having clearly defined operational parameters. But rarely do they take into account what is in someone’s heart. And they can be used to serve someone’s agenda with little regard to “truth.” Yes, facts are true. Yes, the legal system is supposed to be based on what is provable. I am not arguing that. I say this because I know that someone will read the part prior and confront me for saying it based on some distorted view on what I said.
    • Political persecution (Last post by ren)
    • Quote: Thanks for all the advice. On the one hand you can fight, on the other you can give up. I suppose the deciding factor would be whether it's a fight that can be won. Perhaps getting asylum is a win-win? I can go on with my life and voice my objections to tyranny. Can I change the gov't? no, I've tried. Can I change the beliefs of others? maybe. Will I be able to change enough people's beliefs to win? probably not. So what countries would grant asylum? I already know Canada is out and so is most of the EU because they're all buddies with the US... No extradition treaty between US and France. Besides, France is the US' oldest ally but they're never gonna suck it up to anyone who consumes "imitation american cheese" :D
    • The Sith Academy! (Last post by sidvkili)
    • This thread was awesome it starts out with some SA troll... well trolling then everybody takes a minute and goes.... "ya know, there's something we can learn from this" and end up almost thanking the guy for trolling. *sigh* I love you guys
    • Actual Churches? (Last post by Larrus)
    • @Adder, the keycode setup would be rather simple to set up. The same server that holds this site could be used to host the virtual server needed to host the key codes. THe physical server itself would have it's own operating system, and within that operating system, we could created a virtual (or logical) server using a virtual operating system (Windows Server 2008R2 or similar) and tie that directly in with the directory service that is used to manage permissions to the site. To our brother who is proposing building a Praxeum (sry, I changed up the name again, since Academy implies that we need educational credentials, and Temple makes it sound like a cult), I hopefully will be relocating to the Portland area sometime within the next 16 to 18 months, and I would really like to sit down with you and hash out some ideas.....
    • Opinion on an Orwell quote (Last post by Whyte Horse)
    • Part of the double-speak paradigm is hiding the underlying ideology and making slogans that nobody can disagree with because it doesn't mean anything. It's like "support our troops"... yeah everyone supports our troops... try saying "support our war" and see what happens.
    • Who would you like to meet? (Last post by Wendaline)
    • I would like to meet my distant relative who fought in the Civil War and was captured by the South...once released they shipped him off to serve at Fort Caspar where he died of malnutrition. How sucky would that be? Living...I would like to meet Chris Angel and ask him how he looks so young!!! I mean, whatever he does it works well and I wanna know. :P
    • Peaceful means and the lightsabre (Last post by 666)
    • We all know, violence it's at last end we need to know also violence exist hope never happen, but we all can be pushed to use violence there is always a way to push other to use. so, now the real question, when happen, and it's time for us to defend ourself, or someone else what we use by self defense law, never a weapon bigger in power than your opponent. to me, use what I need to end up safe in fast and secure way, if that can be accomplish taking in mind my local laws BETTER lightsabers don't exist, so are not an option a stick bo shinai boken sword broom knife gun chain o whatever we use is up to the moment, there is no way to know (can be in the bathroom, when you take a shower, and your best weapon can be your shampoo and a towel) you can carry a baton (if is legal) or a stunt baton, or whatever. lightsabers don't exist, can look like, but doesn't work. your surrounding can provide weapons.... you can be the weapon...
    • God vs Ego (Last post by Leandros Von)
    • Quote: One has to remember, there is no such thing as good or evil, its all about power. I think you may have misunderstood the intention of my ramblings MurMur, this was never about God as a deity it was my way of breaking down the differences between the ego brain and true consciousness. I chose to use the mythology as a method of explaining the internal conflict and the transcendence of it. Quote: I think the word "god" leaves a bitter taste in most people's mouths, but in this case, "god" is a word meaning your own, personal "higher self", not a religious god. Thank you Master, I suppose the use of the term "GOD" is very much misrepresented at times, as you have stated what I meant by god is the part of you that is "GOD" (the force), whether the god is good or evil is irrelevant, it still created the ego self and as such is the true spirit and driving force behind the illusion of what we are. Though I also suppose that in using the word god I was talking about the mythical concept of a god that is there for our fragile ego to grasp upon until true enlightenment comes through mythological translation of the holy scriptures.
    • Is the Bible the Literal Word of God? (Last post by Azrael)
    • Even though in the early years of my life i was raised a Christian, i could never take the Bible seriously. In my mind there were some good lessons yes but a lot of what i heard stood out as being no different from the fairy tales my mum and dad told me when i was small. Noahs ark for example or Moses parting the Red Sea.. One must bare in mind that while the Bible is in places trying to give a moral lesson (perhaps not in the most straightforward way) large tracts of it, the Old Testament in particular was written at a time when people still believed the Sun was a man in a chariot flying across the sky or thunder was an expression of the gods anger. Much of it was mans early attempts to explain and educate people on how the world and nature worked and even came into being when infact they had no proof. Indeed, even today, we still largely lack a lot of proof for much of this. While there are SOME lessons to be learned, much of it is pure myth. I cannot treat the story of Genesis any more seriously than the story of the Norse creation myth, how the first gods came out of a giants armpit.
    • Shadow Being (Last post by MurMur)
    • Shadow beings are those people or entities who are still here in our plane of existence. People do not understand that just because the body dies does not mean that that person is non-existent. Shadow people are just energy in a form that we are not aware of or that we can fully comprehend. I have seen shadow people and have had multiple experiences obtaining to shadow people. Not all shadow people are people who can not move on to the next plain of existence. Some of entities who are here for reasons only they know of, if they even know. Death is nothing but a phase in the existence of life.
