Belief in the Afterlife - where do you sit on the scale?
by jgnat ini am three-quarters through the book, the time paradox: the new psychology of time that will change your lifeby philip zimbardo and john boyd.
it is taking longer than usual because i am earnestly applying the exercises as they appear in the book.
which means i have to be ready to change my habits...but enough about me.. zimbardo's argument throughout the book is that a person's time perspective deeply impacts their choices and their ability to be happy.

Despite having an open mind as to supernatural experience and yes I have seen incredible sights that defy logic, I have no reason to believe that I have a special place in the universe that requires me to remain conscious on some level after death. But can I also say that my belief pattern is in flux, so is constant being refined and sometimes in the past rocked. What is definitive in a timeless shapeless state of opposites that is our universe?

Have you ever thought about, what is nothing? If you did, did it make your head hurt?
by miseryloveselders inas a born in jw, i've always believed that jehovah had no beginning per say.
at the same time i've had the house and watch having a creator argument stamped within my brain for use against evolutionists.
some days its difficult rationalising god's existance as having always been, with everything else needing to be created by him.

Interesting
Like Franklin Massey I looked into the Vedas. Aparrantly the wise men sat and asked each other "Who are you?" They peeled back the layers until they came to the conclusion that "I" am the silence between the thoughts....
Also Sleepingbeauty, I once took LSD and went into a black void with no stimulation, just my consciousness. Finally voices said to me "You can never leave." Terrifying, as I thought this must be life after death....Nah, just a subconscious Tartarus belief from when I was a jw and more importantly, just a drug trip, which in my opinion does not lead to any enlightenment, just distraction. My only drug of choice now is caffeine and a good ol' alcohol.

Thanks Zid
I learned to channel my love to my children and also into my career as a social worker. I do love animals and am surrounded by nature but will never have a dog as a pet again. It's just too painful to part. I could analyze myself and say he symbolised my mother( and her sudden death) but really, I am at peace with my decision and dogs and kids seem to search me out!! That's a good sign eh?

So sorry to read your pain W007. I had a dog as a child that was like my brother. He mourned the death of my mother with me. He literally saved my life on a number of occasions. When he died...It was the end of my childhood. Time has not healed that pain. I have not had a pet since. Sorry to not be able any solace.

Just a follow up. I came to the average wage by doing a GDP search on Ethiopia and converting International Dollars( all African county's were set in ID for ease) to Euros.

This kid leaves school with a basic education but is offered a 3,000 Euro a month job in Ethiopia??!! There's only one job that would pay that well, no wonder she didn't take it. No seriously, this must be bullshit.

Fundi vs. Fundamentalist - T/J
by Georgiegirl ini started following thread when it was first posted, got busy, and then came back it was 12 pages long...so i'm starting a new one.. last night in my psych of religion class (which is incredibly fascinating, btw), i learned this:.
"fundamentalism" is a 20th century phenomenon.
it means that the believer has boiled down his beliefs to 5 fundamental beliefs:.

Apologies. GG did caste the net wide in the first post. It is the lecturer who spoke of the history of fundamentalism.

I think what GG was trying to say is that the description given is the historical, or original meaning of fundamentalist.
