    One of my best friends is majoring in philosophy. We can talk for hours about Nietzsche, the ontological argument for God (which is a terrible argument), and a lot about religion. I find it interesting that every "religion" in every culture looks to a higher power for the answers they can't explain except for the Buddhists.

    Buddha gave insight on how to live a pure and fulfilling life, he wasn't a god. One of the best comparisons was that Buddha was like a doctor.
    "Because of this, his teaching has often been called pessimistic, but this emphasis is actually like that of a doctor who focuses on the symptoms and causes of disease as part of an effort to bring about a cure."
    It goes into more depth here http://www.accesstoinsight.org/lib/study/aids/index.html

    A quote I came up with and used in a college essay-

    "Existentialism is the study of how existentialism is complete bullshit"

    No human will ever understand the universe in it's entirety. The fact that the word infinite even exists in our language is a colossal paradox. You can talk about these things and share perspectives but it always just comes back to "I don't know."

    It's good to have a real grasp on reality but at the same time, if you dwell on the unknowable you'll just end up a depressed, miserable bastard, because it's possibly the most frustrating thing ever. Focus on what you know, and what affects you: friends, art, music, epic adventures. Just accept it for what it is instead of focusing on why. Not saying asking questions is bad, but when you get to the point where there's no possible way to answer any of them, it's time to call it a day and go have some fun, because that's what life is really about, enjoying it.

    There's my 2 cents for anyone who cares.

    lawlz yeah + they're very peaceful.
    Every other fucking war in the world has been about religion. Religion is bullshit.
    I believe in God, not religion.

    And I care for your two cents you make sense.

    Lately I've been thinking a lot about technology and it's environmental impact.

    Early stages of technology advancement were used to "conquer" mother earth. The aggressive advancements in the industrial revolution (both European and American) expanded our reach and had a great impact on our environment. This same thought process was kept the same through much of the 20th century, some inventions lessened their environmental impact but it was out of efficiency not out of care for the environment. During the 1960's there was a surge in environmental protection policies and this has slowly changed the way we associate our environment and technology. Slowly our goals of technology have turned into maximum efficiency with minimal environmental impact. The new goals for many new technologies are zero or low emissions. If this trend continues our future technology will be less bent on "conquering" mother nature and more focused on being balanced with our environment.

    I think I'm going to write a paper on this one.

    Edit: This won't happen overnight, most of Asia, Africa and even eastern Europe are still in the post-industrial stage.

    the earth is a cell and were the cancer on that cell. humans think too small. thinkin were on top. nahhh b. were just a virus thats englufing the planet quicker.

    no one slows down to wonder how many societies you may have just wiped out by washing your hands or cleaning your kitchen counter.

    whose to say space as we know it, isnt an entity in which a universe is just large amount of cells strung together in a corner of this entity.

    im just curious with how everyone feels for the life sentence in prison...

    if somebody was actually locked up for their entire life... don't you think it's a waste of resources?

    i've been argued with the idea that they have to take time to reflect on what they did, but what's the point when they're going to die in that cell and not have any use for what they've learned?

    i sure as hell know if i was stuck in a cell for the rest of my life, i'd want the torture to end.

    All people will eventually be rewarded according to their good or bad deeds, but they themselves will be saved regardless

    I always lol at the saying: god created the earth
    They always say he created the Earth, not the universe or nothing.
    All religions are based upon one.

    religion does nothing but divide, and God exist within ourselves you choose to Build positivity to A(rm)L(eg)L(eg)A(rm)H(ead) universal family, and destroy negativity. Then you are living Godly you choose to destroy then be another devil

    to know God is to know self.

    and saying yeshua ben yosef a.k.a didnt exist is ignorant
    Jesus Christ didn't exist Yeshua was murdered robbed of his belife and was painted white.

    Alright I wrote this so I could see if I could get my word out about a new theory i have for an afterlife.

    As I read further into inter-dimensional physics, I remembered that light is a vibration in the 5th dimension, and that all of the physical matter around us, our very existences, are merely vibrations in the super strings.

    For those who don't know, please look up the Super String Theory on google or yahoo.

    Since there are 10 dimensions,(as far as we know), that means some objects in alternate dimensions(not alternate worlds), can be visible, and others cannot.

    Our minds are very complex, in our very own dreams we can generate entire worlds with just a random thought, imagine scenes that we can make into plays and stories.
    Can it be that the elaborate mechanics of the mind can be housed in an alternate dimension?

    If so, this can allow the chance of our minds being part of our own "Soul Variable" in physics. Let's use the "S" variable, to represent our souls.

    The mind can be a component of the soul and can theoretically have a resonant reaction with the "S" variable. Why so? This can be because the mind can be in the same dimension as the soul and be composed of that same matter.

    If both resonate their own energy frequencies, they can interfere with each other and create FEEDBACK.
    This can explain why some people get that "hair raising, ghostly feeling".
    But then again, our minds can be vastly powerful, and with that power, our own brains can betray us and create illusions.

    Also, it CAN be possible for Eukariotic life to have a soul.
    Since they can respond dynamically to their environment and adapt accordingly, there has to be a will to survive, rather than nature-forced programming.
    This applies for Mammals, Reptiles, and of course, other forms of animal life.

    So if I am correct, death is only the disconnection from the body unit that we have here, and the alternate dimension is our next home.
    And I presume that once there, we can identify our relatives by their energy resonance frequency.



    Well everyone, that concludes my theory on Exo-Vital-Organisms.

    I thought it up just late last night.
