  GOOD GOD!! WHY ARE THERE SO MANY.......????

  ....spelling errors on the topic headers?.

  how much effort does it take to check your spelling before you post a topic??.

  just read over some of the topics up for discussion right now and you'll see a very shocking (to me, at least) disregard for accuracy.. if you can't trouble yourself to get your spelling right how are the rest of us going to respect the fact you have your reasoning right either??.

  Redefinition of "Spiritual"

  by proplog2 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  it's ok for modern thinkers to use archaic terms if we can show the term has use in our contemporary scientific world.. science tries to explain the behavior of "things" (including animals).

  the latin word "anima" means spirit or breath.

  ancient man was also scientific in orientation.

  If you take a dictionnary for the same word you may have different definitions ... so it all depends on which context the word is applied to. Still all definitions and relations to other words by those definitions are valide.

  So for instance :

  Gopher : To me what is spiritual is that which gives life meaning, as opposed to merely sustaining it (as physical or material things would do). Thus "spiritual" does not mean religious for all people.

  Narkissos : (spirit). Should I try to "redefine" the latter I would rather explore the tracks of "emptiness" and "movement".

  = something out of nothing : which does not have to be material to be materialised (useful nor true) spiritually (by the mind nor for the mind)

  so a simple idea or feeling (whatever it comes from : information - a dream as delirium) is somehow spiritual

  I can't eat......

  okay, a little history first..... i have severe osteoarthritis in my right knee, so i take 800mg of ibuprofen three times a day to help with the pain.

  i've tried all the other anti-inflamatory meds and ibuprofen works the best for me.

  because i take the ibuprofen i've given myself pretty bad acid reflux for which i take medication twice a day and it has worked up until this past sunday.. i had a cheeseburger (i usually don't eat like that) but being out of town i splurged....since then everything i eat or drink burns like hell and i feel nauseated .

  by nvrgnbk in

  spirituality without faith.

  what would it mean to naturalize spirituality?

  how can naturalism inspire spiritual experience and provide us with a satisfying cognitive context within which to address our ultimate concerns?

  ...... ...I guess this is what you need right now - esw1966

  take care of yourself, and those who are not closed-mind (brain-dead) ... and who knows tomorrow is an other day (they might wake up earlier than its seems possible by now - they are responsibe after all) ...

  Some people just don't know what they are loosing / missing : true love
  
  But you have to protect your kids : with true love and INFORMATION from all sides (to compare)
