I have to apologize Lady if lately I did not answered to your garbage   posts but I was quite busy.  Cat

I promise that from now on I will answer them as a matter of priority.  Indubitably


Simply calling them "garbage posts" does not make them so, Ricky. Sorry. You could start by actually addressing my legitimate refutations of your flawed reasoning, and egregious misunderstanding of science.

As I said before: whenever you are ready with your logically sound argument for the existence of God (or Karma, or whatever the fuck you're blabbing on about) backed up with substantial evidence, I'd be happy to take a look at it. [emoji57] So far, you have failed to produce anything even CLOSE.

My dear.  Hi

NDEs are top evidence as a dead brain could not possibly create such clear and sharp experiences.

The evidence is there.
If you don't like it that is your problem not mine.  Smile

You never thought about that Astreja, did you?

My personal experience of nearly six decades says otherwise.  In My case, satisfaction leads to confidence and the desire to tackle something even more challenging.  This is in accord with the work on "flow" by psychologist Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, whom I consider to be a reputable authority on the subject of human happiness.

As for the rest of your nonsense -- I do not believe in eternal life, or in souls, and I do not want eternal life.

Wow...you couldn't have picked a shittier source to reference, lol. Swing and a miss. Try again, with something at least remotely scientific and peer reviewed. I suppose it doesn't matter anyway...People have gone through this NDE thing with you in painstaking scientific detail, over the course of many months, and to the pain and suffering of everyone else reading along. You should have actually LEARNED something by now. Which is why I believe you to be a troll.

You're doing just fine without any help.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

..........scientific and peer reviewed............ Wink

You are a total joke Lady.  Smile

How can you expect something spiritual and superior to the physical-material aspect to be scrutinized by
the physical science?
Since when the small and inferior aspect can understand the big and superior aspect?

You never thought about it Lady, did you?  Bird

Stim.  Hi

I always held your post in high regard as you will know.  Indubitably

I apologize if sometime I do not answer you straight away as a matter of priority but that will
surely change from now on.  Worship

This is a promise. Popcorn

It seem that your psychologist contradict himself.

In this article it say.........Csikszentmihalyi characterized nine component states of achieving flow including “challenge-skill balance, merging of action and awareness, clarity of goals, immediate and unambiguous feedback, concentration on the task at hand, paradox of control, transformation of time, loss of self-consciousness, and autotelic experience............

Now first he say......merging of action and awareness......and then he say......... loss of self-consciousness.........

That is bizarre Astr.  Panic
How can be possible to be aware when your consciousness is not active?
That guy is a nutcase.  Indubitably

RE: Karma poll
It doesn't say loss of consciousness you illiterate fuck, it says loss of self-consciousness which means that during the "flow" you are not self-conscious, which means you are not thinking about your person.

Pretty much like how Obi Wan beats General Grievous in the RotS novelization, by "giving himself to the force" (which is a metaphor in this case for being fully concentrated on the task at hand)
"Every luxury has a deep price. Every indulgence, a cosmic cost. Each fiber of pleasure you experience causes equivalent pain somewhere else. This is the first law of emodynamics [sic]. Joy can be neither created nor destroyed. The balance of happiness is constant.

Fact: Every time you eat a bite of cake, someone gets horsewhipped.

Facter: Every time two people kiss, an orphanage collapses.

Factest: Every time a baby is born, an innocent animal is severely mocked for its physical appearance. Don't be a pleasure hog. Your every smile is a dagger. Happiness is murder.

Vote "yes" on Proposition 1321. Think of some kids. Some kids."
