Consciousness Without Supernaturalism

Very...and not something in my experience, the Christian religion has any particular solid view on... Some do. A forum I used to frequent (as part of my studies into these) was Astral Pulse It is through this forum that I was introduced to The Frank Kepple Resource Indeed. Talking about...

HOW ABOUT THAT I've travelled on these southern roads They've taken me to many answers to my questions Followed the white line in the daylight Cats eyes shining bright in the darkness of my night Strangers truly are the friends we haven't met The souls we don't forget through life's long...

It happened after years of learning how to control my fear. Different strokes for different folks. If you have ever experienced sleep paralysis then you have at least experienced an initial step which leads to OOBE.

I think the act of lust somehow became confused with being "dirty" and certainly "usually intense or unbridled sexual desire" is in a category of its own...and even animals are not off limit re the extremes...and the results speak for themselves - more harm than good... I think once lust was...

There is no reason why one cannot do it 24/7 It is a type of deeper self awareness which one can move along within...as a consistent thing rather than something put aside, like Church on Sunday.

Try this...rather than fight or barrier thoughts which "pop into one's head" try questioning why they do so and analyzing them - what are the thoughts revealing about oneself? What about the thought is primarily "wrong" in regard to how one learns through that. Also, what thoughts consistent...

Well it's a start and a good one at that. The labels are telling in their own right, so do have an effect on the output of our reasoning. Doing without the labels is a good temporary move so that at least we are identifying agreement re those unusual things which persist in an otherwise...

For me, supernaturalism is a spurious explanation and superfluous for that. Removing its relevance does not in and of itself remove the question or possible answers to said question "do we exist within a created thing?" any more than accepting everything including mind is fundamentally material...

Do you think that will change before now and your bodies eventual death? It is a sure thing that some reports will be false - made up to gain exposure and $. That is itself is here nor there re whether NDEs are real experiences.

CB comes across as more than a little unhinged...and your statement implies that at least with outright athiesm, no bridge need be built. Yet what about theism? For example, I think you think there is enough evidence to support the resurrection? What bridging is involved with that and where...

So, the agnostic-agnostic position is to remain on the solitary pillar and presume bridges cannot be built until physical evidence is presented to you which allows for that to happen? Given the vast amount of NDE reports which show positive life changing attributes re mental health, even to the...

Why do you think thoughts are real and hallucinations not? Doesn't that also apply to thoughts? No. Imagination is an aspect of mind/mindfulness. Mind is an aspect of Consciousness. "Seem to be" is exactly what I have be saying in that what "Seems to be" non-material (foremost -...

The red is to point out that word again...do you mean to say you "think" ? The bold implies you see the same in "unreal vs real" and "nonphysical vs physical.". Can you reword this to resolve the implication? This is what I am pointing to. The nature of the human experience re - let's call...

Therefore you are suggesting that consciousness is unreal? How do you go about explaining that consciousness is nonphysical AND real then? A hallucination is nonphysical and unreal in the objective sense. It has no public reality. Consciousness is nonphysical but real in the subjective sense...

Before delving deeper I think that the word "believe" et all requires being replaced if the one using it actually means "I think"...

Ah now, that makes more sense. I was going to argue that a theory which incorporates other theories is - just by that alone - "neat". :) *nods*

Are you saying that Matrix and Panpsychism are neat theories? I have already argued why NDEs are physical experiences. Indeed, but I have also offered much evidence re UICDS which I claim is how the individual can interact with the greater creative consciousness. You have yet to engage with...

There are more than one voice in the article. "A physical manifestation of a mental projection" isn't saying that a mental projection is non physical in and of itself. Rather, the projection moves at a fundamental vibration which in turn is what manifests things into existence, through...
