@"SteveMinjares" One can become better under pressure by meditation and sports. Competitive but fair endeavours.
July 04, 2021 at 07:25
@"SteveMinjares" Television has glamourised the so called psychopath and mythology has told us they feel no emotions. This is pure fairytale. These pe...

@"Manuel" Just a quick comment and I will probably post a fuller reply later. The reluctance to say in daily life that one is certain is a sure sign o...

Which one? Religion is still very much alive.
July 03, 2021 at 13:49
Just finished reading freuds "new introductory lectures on psychoanalysis". An excellent summary of freuds work. All freuds value as a thinker and wri...

@"tim wood" Many facts are subjective. Much of science is speculative nonsense, witness many worlds theory and the big bang. @"180 Proof" At this poin...

@"tim wood" There is nothing to get. You are a narrow minded bigot and pretentious.
July 02, 2021 at 23:08
@"tim wood" Problem is what standard of evidence do you uphold? All I see from you is impatience,defensiveness,pedantry and finally ad homineum. Your ...
July 02, 2021 at 22:54
@"3017amen" Of course. No rush. In your own time.
July 02, 2021 at 22:23
@"3017amen" It does help...But continue. This is very interesting!
July 02, 2021 at 22:18
@"tim wood" I don't need your selective quotes. I have followed and read the whole debate. I also have read numerous posts from all three of you. Wish...
July 02, 2021 at 22:08
@"tim wood" I'm afraid your facts are fictions. Generated by wish fulfillment.
July 02, 2021 at 21:48
@"3017amen" 1)The existential psychology/philosophy of religion. (Like William James varieties of religious experience) 2)Religion and continental phi...
July 02, 2021 at 21:46
@"3017amen" Excellent! You should post your views to my thread or start some psychology and continental philosophy threads to get some decent discussi...
July 02, 2021 at 21:16
@"3017amen" It's not really my thread type. I'm asking because I couldn't quite understand what you said in that last paragraph. I'm more a psychology...
July 02, 2021 at 21:10
@"tim wood" I am my standard of truth and all who make sense. You do not make sense on this issue. Seems to me you have a habit of demanding proof aft...
July 02, 2021 at 21:07
@"3017amen" Yes,that is what I saw in your opening debate post and its a pretty solid case,as standard logic breaks down at the practical ultimate lev...
July 02, 2021 at 20:21
@"tim wood" And? Is a moderator the standard for truth? I know what I see. Lies! Just listen to your rhethoric!
July 02, 2021 at 20:18
@"tim wood" Well,it's obvious to me. Difference is I keep level headed about you disagreeing with me. And I don't demonise people just for a disagreem...
July 02, 2021 at 19:47
@"3017amen" If I read you correctly are you saying standard logic cannot prove things like conciousness and time which are obviously real,therefore th...
July 02, 2021 at 19:45
@"tim wood" I have read posts on this forum for years before I joined,so I've read plenty of all three on this thread. The recent debate was disappoin...
July 02, 2021 at 19:35
@"3017amen" I think both guys are searching for truth and you show your the bigger man by giving them olive branches. One is not a philosopher or psyc...
July 02, 2021 at 19:27
@"tim wood" I have watched the interactions closely,I trust my own judgement. You are over emotional,as is 180. Reread your post to 3017 about people ...
July 02, 2021 at 19:14
@"3017amen" Ah,that keats quote is one of my favourites! I don't mind the god bless as its the intention that counts. My views on god are unusual. Mat...
July 02, 2021 at 19:09
@"Ross Campbell" Humans are creatures of desire and emotion. Rationality is an idealisation of control. A method to try to make nature "safe" and conc...
July 02, 2021 at 18:53
@"3017amen" I think you do a pretty good job on this forum. There are very few existentialist religious people who post their views. In fact,I do enjo...
July 02, 2021 at 18:40
@"RoadWarrior9" Your first two are very similiar to what I have,except I'm not a recluse,but a Family man to the core. I would have a third which is C...
July 02, 2021 at 18:22
@"waarala" It seems a lot of continental philosophers are interested in freud,whether affirmative or critical. My interest is that his thinking is imp...
July 02, 2021 at 13:56
Freud; 1) new introductory lectures on psychoanalysis. 2) totem and taboo. 3) moses and monotheism. With these three books one has good ammunition and...

@"Echarmion" That child understood that all regressions of intention and actions end in a will,a want to. And though matter does not have will,it also...

@"Jack Cummins" I don't believe the oedipus complex literally,and I believe freud,as on many concepts,was too dogmatic. With that said,and this is why...
July 01, 2021 at 17:48
@"Jack Cummins" What you say about klein is very interesting. I think a lot of "sane" people experience a schizoid anxious type of awareness and proje...
July 01, 2021 at 15:32
The hypocrisy of a lot of civility is obvious. Political civility is gaslighting. However,that said,political groups and so called "rebels" will only ...
July 01, 2021 at 12:43
@"Corvus" His book Totem and taboo, And his new introduction to psychoanalysis are both extremely good. Freud wrote a lot of stuff! I think a lot of p...
July 01, 2021 at 10:20
@"Corvus" I must say that I do find freuds emphasis on sexuality incorrect. But his notion of libido if interpreted as desire makes his thinking much ...
July 01, 2021 at 10:11
@"Kasperanza" When you say freud wasn't scientific,could you elucidate? Because his ideas were obviously based on and backed by extensive hands on cli...
July 01, 2021 at 09:34
@"Jack Cummins" What about jung on religion do you find beneficial? Projection is a very interesting concept,but I think it's used incorrectly. Guilt,...
July 01, 2021 at 09:22
@"Wayfarer" The second Essay of that collection is called "dreams and the occult".
July 01, 2021 at 08:53
@"Wayfarer" Freuds book "new introduction to psychoanalysis" is seven essays. One of the essays contains talk about telepathy. It's free online.
July 01, 2021 at 08:46
@"Wayfarer" In freuds later work he talks about telepathy. In the modern day of science this is taboo. Witness the treatment of Rupert sheldrake.
July 01, 2021 at 08:42
@"Noble Dust" I have heard of people with religious beliefs opposed to projection who experienced these things when in a very emotional situation, but...
June 30, 2021 at 22:40
@"Noble Dust" Well the belief that you can make it happen is all that is needed. Are you regarding belief as a metaphysics?
June 30, 2021 at 22:30
@"Noble Dust" Well,the prime thing is you must be determined enough to believe and practice with intense desire. Only if your metaphysics disbelieves ...
June 30, 2021 at 22:21
@"Noble Dust" I think if you just focus and have faith in your ability to project that will be enough. Unless you have some metaphysics or beliefs you...
June 30, 2021 at 22:15
@"Noble Dust" One can just practice and experience the phenomenon,and vocalise the metaphysics later. What kind of details are you interested in, the ...
June 30, 2021 at 22:01
@"Jack Cummins" Cheers!
June 30, 2021 at 21:28
@"Noble Dust" I've listened to Graham Nicholls on YouTube and munroe and others on YouTube and it seems they are talking about the same thing near eno...
June 30, 2021 at 21:15
@"Jack Cummins" It's a very good thread. Hopefully someone can link it for further discussion on this thread. What's your take thoughts on the totem a...
June 30, 2021 at 21:06
@"Noble Dust" Yes,I've never really liked the term OOBE for the reasons you have stated. I think when it gets into a community or organisation that's ...
June 30, 2021 at 20:59
@"Noble Dust" Its all astral projection. The projection is out of the body but I'm still in the body. Those who claim out of the body should clarify t...
