I can not handle discussing too many different things at the same time. This thread is great, and another one for discussing the gods is very desirabl...
I am so excited by what you have said and a book I was told about, that I don't know where to begin. The title of the book is "The Body Keeps the Scor...

Would you say Joseph Campbell is very helpful here? When we have a shared mythology and group identity, we have a comfortable notion of who we are and...
Oh, we do have an argument going. :lol: I have to be careful. Are others having an emotional reaction to what is being said? I am having strong feelin...
Which religion would that be? What are the important truths? On the other hand, there is a liberal education and learning the higher-order thinking sk...
Been there done that. I thought I was possessed and was on the verge of killing people. I had to make a decision- is all that demon, devil stuff for r...
That process seems to be broken. In the past, we had myth and religion to process the justification for what we believe. While knowing the truth has a...
I think that is another book I should add to my collection. The Greeks knew people around the world were different. They also had a notion of what it ...

I just wrote of my intolerance of opposing thoughts and you remind me I see myself as a rather open-minded person. :chin: I think both are true of me....
I totally agree with you but I know it is almost impossible for me to read or listen to an opposing idea. I quickly have such an irritable feeling I h...
Wise words. You speak of the difference between reacting and thinking. Sleeping on a thought is a wonderful idea as our right brain can chew on the th...
Oh great another book I must buy and read. I am a painfully slow reader and I will never complete the book I believe I must write because I am forever...

:lol: It was my intention to sign out an hour ago, and I worry that I post things that others may not approve of, or I say too much. I think it is ver...
Excellent, the condition of being open to persuasion! This begins with knowing how much we do not know and never being absolutely sure of ourselves. W...
Our environment is fundamental to what we think. I am working with Joseph Campbell here. Around the world, snakes are part of people's myths. However,...
The effort to discover truth can never be silly and pointless. It is the purpose of birds to fly, horses to run, and man to think. God is asleep in ro...
Are we sure of what we think we know? "Let us, for a moment, consider a scenario. Let us assume the galaxy to be an immense organism possessing order ...
I think genetically transferred knowledge plays a role in intuition. The PBS show "Finding Your Roots" does genetic studies and sometimes finds the pe...

I am sorry but I do believe determining creation stories are not factually true is as simple as that. Not only is it simple but ignorance is a terribl...
I love the way you said that. Has anyone here read Jose Arguelles's "The Mayan Factor"? Does anyone know of the Great Cycle as 13 Baktun Synchronation...
I have a very old book about logic and it clearly states we should never be too sure about what we think we know. A wise person maintains doubt. I hav...
My goodness, this thread is trigging so many memories that I have not thought about for a long time. I am having a delightful time. I am also thinking...
