Yup you do but you don't provide one example why this should be believed! As you've already pointed out well what people believe is wildly different based on opinion and perception that includes all of us

well there is still a conduit of reality isnt there for you to speak in, move in, act in.. nothing is stopping you from doing that heh. I just want you to know you don't see the world for what it is, none of us do! Science proven that long agoo Evolution proves that.

this is true, physical things like pooping in my front yard is gonna affect me of course I don't think I take exception to that it would indeed affect me.

What you gotta remember is the source of your physical action is in fact your unreality heh, because everyones in a constant state of unreality (opinions you call it heheheh) you unreality can seriously affect mine through a conduit of a physical reality. Intent and perception are highly linked and that really is a fact lol.

I tend to agree, but time and time again the problem is not the ideas that man produces, it's the people that change them, misuse them, and abusing them that create corruption. Not philosophising or seeking what I'd call true enlightenment heh...

i.e. It's not the ideas men produce, its what they do with them in reality heh.

A great example would be Edington and Tesla of course everybody knows dc blows nowadays and most mains are AC now.. ;] Teslas idea was better and was safer but edington got it into production because he used influence over intelligence. Why assume religion is somehow immune to such problems as science has been??! It isn't ;]

I think just like science you have to scoot over the BS and concentrate on the tidbits that can give some true inspiration.

And hey, if accepting our own limitations isnt a move in the right direction wtf is!


peace,
