[split] a discussion on origins sparked by "The Order of Things"

[rowens]

I've had such experiences, too.
Sometimes they only happen if you believe in God. Sometimes they happen without believing in anything.

Believing in things gives a directional force to things.

People I love who are dead, I play with spirits. They talk to me. You realize how you don't know anything.
If my dead friends talk to me, is it them? If God talks to me, is it God? Am I me, right now?
I don't know. You don't know. Nothing and nobody knows.

Science and Religion are useful. Antiscience and antreligion are useful.

Stupidity got me out of some jams that intelligence got me into.

In magick, you use gods as directional force. A god is something you can focus on, and put your all in.

Me, I focus on the woman I love. I'm a Romantic romantic. I focus on her. She's what gets my poems written. God is a minor figure.

I would like, Mark, for you to talk about synchronicities. They happen all the time. I talk about them all the time.



We can get rid of assumptions about timeandspace, we can use those assumptions, too.

We use foundations and frameworks to understand in context.
It's fun.
Really, there are no contexts.
You come into context to experience.

I love me family. I love the girl I love.
I can do all that loving and caring in a social context, put it in my "heart". And live a stressfree godfree lovefree worryfree life. Physics- Psychologyfree. And grab physics, folklore. religion, magic, emotion.

My nervous system is stress free. My love is magic in my Imagination. Real. Real and Gladness and Joy. 


Sissy stuff.
