Why does this discussion remind me so much of the matrix...

In the second movie when Neo finally meets up with the father of the matrix he says that the only problem that has been left unsolved the equation that is the human existance is the way that love functions.

Watch the first and second ones...don't bother watching the third one...in fact...the second one kinda sucks too. Watch it anyways though. Neo kicks ass

Stay Sunny Guys

Neo is a rehash of jesus.

the matrix is a rehash of earth

the "real world" is a rehash of heaven.

Smith is a rehash of government.

the father of the matrix is a rehashed devil.

Exactly

hmm Im starting to think I should really watch the Matrix... actually doesnt beowolf and the goldencompas have religious reference too?

Thats kinda cool how people can take thoughts and beliefs and put them into a movie metaphorically/ symbolically with characters and settings

When I'm stoned and I happen to think about it, I trip the fuck out when I start thinking abou the Matrix, or the Terminator.... anything dealing with machines taking over. People are working very hard to make things like that become a real possibility. Trippy shit.

If we are a direct result of natural evolution, then everything that we produce is also a part of it: the merging of biology and technology is one possible form of evolution. The only question is will technology evolve to become the dominant factor?

Remember when virtual reality was getting popular? What ever happened to it? I wish development of it didn't slack off so they could have found ways to indirectly connect our brains to it. The research isn't too different from using brain signals to move robotic prosthetic limbs... it's just the other way around, providing the areas of our brain the right signals.

Even better, make a machine to induce a perfect lucid dream, and keep you there indefinitely. I totally would be a test subject for that!

Thanks for the link, I once heard that it could be possible that we are already in a simulation, just didn't know it had a name. When I was younger I would pretend that reality was a virtual reality game (sometimes I still do!)

That site has other great stuff I love to read about.

I've seen the downfalls of too much "good", it usually leads to narrow-minded self righteousness.

Well... i forgot to mention it... in fact i need to make a thread only about this, but while i dont do it, i will only say the basics of it here:
The self-importance is the greatest enemy of every person, of the nations, of all the mankind. Its their downfall.
We are mere humans, only another species of animal living in this grain of sand we call Earth... each one of us is only one among 6 billion of other humans like us... we are nothing. But due our enormous sense of self-importance we think we are something very great, so important that we think we have the right to influence other peoples lifes to our own benefit... we think only about our own desires, as if they were the most important thing in the world, and we cling to it and we kill and steal to satisfy them (wars, for example)... and if we are good, we think we are doing great things, and we think we are very righteous for doing it... and if someone disagree with us, we feel ofended, and feel that being offended is the right thing to do, because we are SO important that we cant afford being disagreed... in fact, all the evil, all of is rotten about mankind can be traced up to the self-importance.
Getting rid of the self-importance is one of the greatest (and hardest) accomplishments of anyone. The ones who "indulge in the dark side of the force" are exactly the ones who cant get rid of the self-importance, and are dominated by it, so they do all kinds of evil only to do what please themselves.
I could go on and on, but i still want to make a thread only about this, and also i dont want to hijack this thread.
So, thats why i say its better to learn to meditate and achieve enlightenment before spending time learning psychic skills. Cause when one is enlightened one learns its real importance (none), learns that we all are one and one person is not better or more important than other person or any other living being. And after it, this person can learn any skill without the risk of becoming seduced by the power of it, without using it for evil purposes, cause after one loses the self-importance one becomes good. Not the (proud) self-righteous good, but the TRUE (humble) good, like the real saints and enlightened ones.

Wow thats really deep, I never really thought about that. Im guilty of allowing myself to feel importante.. though I dont think importance is all that bad like you mentioned about being humbel I think we should all feel worthy but its dangerous when we feel surperior, im guilty of this. When I was younger I was a mild narcissist. I thought i was better then everyone else.. they should all love me and want to be me and want to be around me because I was so much better then them. Over the years I realized that that's not only not true but I felt that way because I realy felt worthless and inadequate.

~ I was just wondering if anyone does this? Debate with yourself and pick apart what your thinking and feeling and why. Sometimes I would think of what I want most in the world then pick apart and examine why I actually wanted that. What are my true feelings and reasoning behind my desires. I just find it so interesting and fun to examine yourself and your psyche and true to figure out who you really are. I think doing this helps give you a true sense of self and lets you dig deeper into yourself and learn more threw meditation and help develope psychic abilities

Ahhhh..... the good old days of when I had a superiority complex (with an I.Q. to back it up). Hey, when you come from an average family, living in a below-average area, it's hard not to think you're a god among insects.

I still have to constantly remind myself that I'm not better OR worse than anyone else. Or that we're all equally important... or equally worthless. Depends on my mood. I come from a family that still has a lot of old-skool views on racism and stuff. Crazy ignorant fucks... Poisoned my mind being around them most of my life.



I know its really possible to levitate or fly. I've levitated at least a couple times. It happened a long time ago when I was maybe an early teenager. I'd be asleep in bed but then I'd suddenly wake up and fall flat onto the bed as if my whole body had been floating about 1 foot above the mattress. It was freaky as hell! It's the only way it ever happened, and lasted for that split second from after waking up.

Only other explanation I can think of about that would be my soul or whatever it is that leaves the body during an out of body experience.... like it was floating above my body and then when I woke up I fell straight back into my body. But I felt the physical impact of it from my head all the way to my feet at the same time.
