This thread SHINES A LIGHT on a relatively NEW IDEA, and NEW POSSIBILITY. Which IS GREAT and BRILLIANT, from MY PERSPECTIVE anyway.

The Universe is getting weirder and weirder.

I read it at Pan Flute Camp (as you might have guessed) and when I explained the idea to my Drumming Circle they were really enthused. Man, what a night that was!
Yes, and that is as it has always been (right?): new revelations across time (as we know it) change the ways we think and understand, and expand our potential. Funny that much of humankind seems inclined to imagine at any point that we are at a pinnacle of civilization and that we know all that is significant to know.Alexis Jacobi wrote: ↑Sat Aug 12, 2023 12:23 am The question is not irrelevant.

Sounds like it!

It's hard to imagine any advanced species not reacting the same way when suborned to a visible expression at a time when visibility was many times more palpable. I imagine the shining forth of its gloriously abstract indifference enforced a cleansing influence...the metaphysical itself becoming physical to an awareness whose response is a kind of Eternal Recurrence of the psyche to its origins.
To the ancients, everything begins with the gods especially when the gods, as divine entities, are so far yet so luminously visible.

Yes, YES! Freakin' yeeeeesssss!!!
It made sense to me... I don't need to justify it to you.
Why should it matter that I've called some of your rantings delusional? That's my impression AT TIMES... so be it. You've said all sorts of things about me.attofishpi wrote: ↑Sat Aug 12, 2023 3:49 pm ..but still, call atto delusional when he portrays anything?
I only claim to know certain things. But you are downright nasty when people don't agree with U. U don't engage them in an intellectual manner where one would debate the other, you just get catty - feline - nasty.Lacewing wrote: ↑Sat Aug 12, 2023 4:50 pmIt made sense to me...

I think I told you (or I started to) that I think you and I would have good discussions if we were in person. I've considered (to some degree) all of the things you've proposed, but the thing that's missing FOR ME is the PURPOSE or the BENEFIT. That's what I look for. If I'm not seeing that for myself, I move on. You have not provided that even in regard to yourself. You just claim that 'you know'. Many people claim to 'know' one thing or another. Why should anyone care? What matters is what people do with what they know, right?

Maybe in those instances I think people are saying ridiculous things... or being dishonest, etc. I don't care if people disagree with me.attofishpi wrote: ↑Sat Aug 12, 2023 4:58 pmBut you are downright nasty when people don't agree with U.

How would just getting drunk or stoned and/or just dancing around undressed be ' getting outside of "one's" 'self'', EXACTLY?Lacewing wrote: ↑Sat Aug 12, 2023 3:28 pmYes, and that is as it has always been (right?): new revelations across time (as we know it) change the ways we think and understand, and expand our potential.

Sounds like the night I stood naked atop the center stone of my stone circle as 2 other naked women danced around within the circle, and 8 naked men stood atop the tall stone pillars. Then mist enveloped us, and one of the guys started playing a flute, and another one exclaimed "This is the best fucking thing I've ever experienced!" It was beautiful and other-worldly, and (unlike your story) my story is true... made possible by someone's brew of hard cider which provided the inspiration and courage.
It's good to get outside of ourselves once in a while to see what more there is, yes?
