Noble Dust

I used to be religious, and thought my experience of "creative flow" was something akin to the Holy Spirit moving in me. I've since lost that religiou...

Home School High, named after the home I grew up in, the location of which I'm not going to divulge, you public schooled sickos.

Haha nice. I can't even remember how I was introduced to Sleepytime Gorilla Museum.

I think I'm going to fast for the rest of the day after reading that.

Woah, serious throwback

I'd like to see @"180 Proof" use his former copy writer skills and make a philosophical argument without the use of text formatting, unnecessary ellip...

A little bit of both.

I’m just as befuddled as you.

Brah

Are you referring to this? If so, it's hardly the least interesting placeholder remark.

Wait, so the fact that you have issues understanding humans makes Baden a great moderator?

The great source of offense may have been my quick eye to catch his quick deletion of posts and subsequent re-instating of posts. I could be wrong tho...

I made the mistake of clicking on your profile picture for no particular reason, and I'm currently realing from the realness. As to our friend, young ...

Ah now you've deleted "fuck off troll" to save face. Nice.

No no, you're the troll because you're copying and pasting your own posts over and over again. Don't blame me for your trollish behavior.

Wait you just did it again.

But did you just delete your former post and then copy and paste it for no reason?

Woah did you just delete your former post and then copy and paste it for no reason? I"m so confused.

All you need is sarcasm brah.

I think you may have missed the joke.

This is my go to line in life, especially in face-to-face conversations.

It's such a meaningless statement. Yawn

Possibly the most unique record I've heard in a long time: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jxsrIoFiY64

I really hope you're trolling me, especially since I'm originally from Ohio.

I wouldn't say it's satisfying, except in a momentary sense. The itch is scratched until it starts itching again, which can be very quickly. Maybe "ma...

Absolutely; I return to lyrical and musical themes on accident all of the time. I've grown to embrace it rather than avoid it. I guess I'm almost disa...

Eh, mainly a jack of all trades, master of none. Mainly a composer/songwriter/producer...which tracks on a philosophy forum, right?

Btw this just popped up on my youtube and I think it's for you: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kGQqi3VNVxM

badum tish

I feel like I'm agreeing with you about everything and you're disagreeing with me about everything. :razz: I love Leadbelly too. Skip James is probabl...

Nah you nailed it. I've always been a Zep fan, but I think I might be from a younger generation than you, so it's just different strokes...plus they s...

i was sort of joking anyway, but that track is all about the drums. The riff, weird bass line, and barely perceptible tempo retard starting at 7:18 is...

One of the most beautiful lines I've ever read.

@"Banno" It borders on metal, but the best rock song ever recorded is this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y7JG63IuaWs Skip ahead to 6:40 through til...

I think you can also make the converse argument and say that someone continually reinventing themselves is creating the fad or trend. Or, more likely,...

@"Tom Storm" @"javra" In terms of artists that are still evolving, I would throw Steve Reich into the ring. Maybe a bit questionable, as the demarcati...

I have no expertise in theatre, but I do agree. I didn't care at all for Shakespeare until I saw my old roommate perform (I think Lear) in an outdoor ...

I agree with you. I always wonder, though, about those artists. Why did they stop? Did they say all they needed to say, or did something external prev...

Thanks for the great response. What you say brings up the daunting question of whether there is an "eternal" aspect to great art. Because let's be hon...

This is the kind of response that gets me excited; what you say here closely mirrors the experiences of OOBE folks like Robert Monroe and William Buhl...

I keep saying this to everyone who responds in the affirmative, but I would love to hear more...but I also recognize how personal these experiences ca...

No, it was your use of text formatting and jumbled sentence structure.

I'm not sure why you're so curious, but my ontology isn't a closed system; I leave room for the possibility of consciousness not being confined to the...

:scream: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rtZQCdYTYSY

Both! This thread is in the lounge; it's just about all things OOBE. You say you've had many, so I'm all ears to hear about the details, your interpre...

How "conscious" would you say you were? I guess that question leads into your next paragraph. If the out of body state is "what it appears to be", I d...

I've been fielding them all day, friend.

You've said it better than I can.

It's two meals at best for anyone, but we Americans have to feel like we can eat it all.

We can, but the drama associated is weirdly familiar to the drama associated with the celebration of an enemy. The mania is similar. Absolutely.
