God and Mind

Of all of your bad luck. Just think if you had got to experience this next life 25 years earlier how much happier you could have been. What made you so unhappy before?

Not a chance, I was there, I lived them. If I told you more of my experiences they would only be made fun of. There are a few on my site and more in my books.

Not all dreams are lucid, it takes practice to have lucid dreams and one always knows they are a dream.

Lots of work and little money, stress, anxiety, depression, etc.

Except you.

That shouldn’t have changed the money situation before or after your experience. Perhaps something else did.

Let me re-phrase the question. I apologize that it will sound quite insulting and intrusive.

Is it possible that what you believe to have experienced is some sort of episodal mental dementia? Have you seen a mental professional to describe these episodes and get an evaluation? Have you shared them with your spouse and family and friends and what is their reaction? Do you continue to experience these events and with what frequency and under what circumstances? How long do they last? Have you experienced them under observation by spouse or professional?

When I changed the money I made tripled. but not at the same place.

I do not now, nor have I ever had dementia. A mental specialist would be an expert on the mind, right. No one really knows anything about a mind. Yes I have shared my experiences with my family and many friends. My family have been present and had some experiences with me. Anyone can learn to have spiritual experiences.

God talks to you all the time, angels visit you at night, you have NDEs on a regular basis, and because you believe all this you’ve tripled your earnings. Did you also lose 100 pounds, grow a half foot taller and lose your bald spot?

I did lose 40 pounds, but still have my bald spot. The rest of your post is completely false.

Since I got it from your website, maybe some editing on your part is in order. It’s not my job to sort out your tall tales.

Sigh. It’s a god-damned black hole, that’s what it is. The thread goes in, and never comes out. It’s worse than a gaming convention listening to people telling their old D&D stories. (“So, there was this lich, see, and we had barrels and barrels of phosphorus, see…”)

So do something about it-what have you got to say on the subject?

According to Kurt Vonnegut it’s nothing more than a dog’s breakfast.

I certainly don’t fear, I don’t fear if someone tells me Santa won’t bring me any toys. Your beliefs are your beliefs and I don’t consider that proof, nor do I believe the people in mental hospitals are Jesus, or any of their thinking. What is in one’s mind is just that and you can call it what you wish.

Would anyone experience anything without a mind. You are your mind.

This much is true.

But a mind can be used in various ways. One of those is to apply critical thought and look for evidence before making specious claims. Alternatively, it can be used to not think critically and follow a path of feel good solipsisms. Then there are minds that are, through no fault of their own, broken; these cannot be trusted to tell fact from fiction or in extreme cases, wrong from right.

So you’ve never been evaluated and you’ve never given critical thought to your experiences and their causes. Your justification is that you believe that specialists in psychiatry and neuroscience are quacks. I suppose I would be inclined to dismiss specilists and scientists as well if I didn’t want my belief system questioned by a bunch of “quacks”.

You know… Scientologists believe they have shared experiences. So do Southern Baptists. Branch Davidians had experiences. People in Jonestown had a pretty serious experience.

I’m not suggesting you are headed in that direction. I have every reason to believe that you are essentially “harmless” and that your intentions are probably good in that I’ve never heard you say hateful things… goading and condescending, but never hateful. So you’ve got that going for you.

But I do think you would benefit from some objective critical analysis of your beliefs. I think having these debates here with us only serve to steel your resolve and convictions that god speaks to you, etc. I think that if not for these debates, you’d have no-one with whom to share your stories and thus they would not seem as important or real.

But that’s just my take.

I should probably take my own advice and stop spending so much time trying to correct all the people who are wrong on the interwebs. :wink:

You don’t understand why or what I am doing. The religions you mentioned have nothing to do with my beliefs. I do believe it would be best you stop trying to change people and spend that time examining your own beliefs. I am well and happy.

What you need is a good 8 hours in front of a mirror, saying nothing but that, over and over again.
