The Sleeper Wakes
Re: The Sleeper Wakes
When I am finished here this morning , Philosophy Now , I will switch my computer off , it will still be the same computer when I switch it back on again ,
the knowledge of who and what it is will be sitting there ready to go again,
We are very much like a computer ,
when we go to sleep , a whole lot of thinking goes on, the computer is never switched off , just the consciousness ,the auto pilot is going about digesting food growing fingernails etc , and I believe this is controlled by our DNA,
that is the hard drive with all the info on , that is where the instructions are to build you , to be you .
So teleporting aside , we are still the same person in the morning ,
if we don't have Altzheimers ,I can't remember how to spell Altzhiemers ,
maybe it's starting already ,,!!!
But teleporting ,,please give me a brake ,
just because we saw it in Star Trek doesn't mean it's real ,
or ever going to be real , there are many popular ideas that will never happen,
such as teleporting , and lets see what else could I put there ,
Time travel ,
Taking a space ship to the other side of the universe ,
That Aliens have visited earth,
Worm holes ,
a finite universe,,,!!!
that god exists,,,,!!!!!!!!

Beam me up Scotty ,
science fiction or fact ,,,
as I suggested , people are more excited about , teleporting ,
than they are about getting real , knowing the real world ,
why is it that society is so entrenched in fantasy and wants to believe,
in the impossible , the unlikely , and the down right insane ,
could it be that to program a person from birth on a fantasy called religion,
could set them up to be destined to live in fantasy land all their lives ,
even if they change religion or belief system ,
it will probably still be based on fantasy , like the bbt,
maybe , we have got so used to engaging our creative side of the brain ,
to deal with religions supposed knowledge ,
that we keep applying our creative side to the search for knowledge ,
and the search for reality , when in fact it should be the other side of the brain ,
logic and cold hard facts are how we determine what is real,
could this be why society in entrenched in fantasy ,
because you were all brain washed from birth ,
and don't know one side of your brain from the other ,,,!!!!
