I don't know. I'm not a physics scientist. To me the idea of Eternal Recurrence seems logical. And that in combination with a Big Bang & Big Crunch. I...

It's assigned culpability as in 'part of a legal system'. It's actual culpability as in 'part of Everything in Existence (what you call the universe)....

Perhaps Humans and Artificial Intelligence? I actually don't know if animals or other lifeforms can be taken to court. Artificial Intelligence might b...

I am sorry. I didn't mean it that way. So I was wrong...

I don't remember what I was thinking. I only know that the Spanish siesta culture is not common in the other countries you mentioned. But maybe I am w...

It seems to me that there isn't such a thing as 'Mediterranean Europe'. The differences between the individual countries seem too big. At least that i...

I will research it. Thank you

Hilarious! :D

I like the Scandinavian input. As fellow EU-member (Netherlands), we try to learn from our fellow European countries & nations. Historically, and I'm ...

Sometimes violence comes knocking at your door before you realize your place. These discussions aren't easy for me, but nevertheless important! I'm re...

It's an interesting topic. Someone once noted that humans are more like bees than cats. In the sense that we are programmed to be workers. To keep a s...

Yes, of course. Live and let live. But sometimes we may be triggered by whatever bothers us. Lash out once, regret it twice. I found out that it is be...

Yeah, Europe is very different. People are very traditional here compared to (some parts) of the US. I used to love the night shifts, because they oft...

I'm sure that's fine. I know some people who would love a well of permanent intoxication (hehe :P). What do you mean by shift? The quality of workshif...

It takes a lot of communication. A LOT OF COMMUNICATION. (not shouting, just using capitals for emphasis here). It's something I struggle with most. E...

Everything is predetermined.

I didn't know the word. An umbrella-term for various kinds of drugs, or so it seems. Then I'm entheogenic to some degree as well. :) An otherworldly t...

It's a negative view of life. Negativity is not bad. It integrates the unpleasant parts of ourselves. In Dutch the word 'geweldig' means amazing! Howe...

I mean the way that everything that exists in existence is.

Thanks! I don't know if I want to go into it any deeper. Many Ukrainians don't! They don't want to talk about the war. They just want to move on with ...

I'm not that difficult. At least... not anymore. Reality can only be accepted if one is well enough to accept it. Denial is default, unless one is goo...

Crazy world we're living in! I have many Ukrainian students. They tell me they have been in war for 10 years. From about the time the Dutch MH17 was s...

Enjoying the Entheogenic album now. It's mesmerizing! :love:

Thanks for the animal channel. It looks good!

So would you say there is a strong distinction between truth, facts & laws-of-physics?

Cool! So this thread is very social and also interesting. For me, the underlying oneness consists of our bond. We are all connected to each other. Som...

So I remember Dario G from the London Scene. His song Sunchyme is featured on a shamanic cd of mine (from the CD era...). Link below :) Dario G - Sunc...

So truth has a lot to do with facts and evidence. With mathematics and physics and chemistry. And no better chemistry than taco love! Then the kind of...

Wow. Thanks for embedding the link. That's really lovely.

Here (Netherlands) we call that music style 'trance' or 'trance music'. If find the song 'Sandstorm' by Darude a good example. Still very enjoyable on...

To connect to other lifeforms on Earth than just humans. To share that bond of love with others. To show that we don't have to be afraid of life.

That sounds nice. I don't know what its implications are though. Is this oneness purely a positive thing? Or are there neutral or negative aspects to ...

So, I've read most if not all of your comments. Thank you for interacting & communicating. To me, it seems that truth is a human phenomenon. It is som...

Hey everyone. Thanks for the many responds! A lot of food for thought. :) Please feel free to keep commenting and responding. In the mean time I will ...

Thank you Bret Bernhoft. Then how can one human (so small compared to the Earth), become one with the Earth (so small compared to Existence). Then wha...

So technology has advanced to the degree that humans can travel outside Earth into space, albeit a short time and distance. We are pioneering the Whol...

My God, compliments to the people who run The Philosophy Forum. This is absolutely astonishing! My question: How are we going to regulate Earth in a f...

I think the definitions of karma and reïncarnation need to be explained here. These are not scientific terms. They are widely open for interpretation....

Health.

Do you want to discuss the Bible being a Rorschach test or not?

I didn't mean that in an offense way, by the way. I'm just a bit confused about this conversation. Also a bit confused in general :D.

Well of course. We're all fallible. With or without glass. This idea of perfection and absence of imperfections is really outdated in my opinion. The ...

It's a funny idea. About the Bible being a Rorschach-test. So basically you're saying that the stories are not factually based, so therefore it's all ...

My neighbour and I always joke about our depressive episodes. She used to be in a group for suicidal people. I don't need that to feel good about myse...

Well, I don't know. I'm trying to find out what I actually mean. There are also other definitions of collective consciousnesses. Unconscious, subconsc...

I'm glad you experience it too. Talked to my parents about mysticism for the first time yesterday. My dad looked happy, as if he had waited for this a...

I'm also talking about archetypes. For example, many people know who Superman is. Or have some vague notion at least. We could say that Superman is an...

Yes. Usually we talk about 'the war', which refers to the Second World War. Then often the Holocaust is mentioned or implied. We assume that many peop...

Well don't disseminate me, Agent Smith!
