Seriously, I can't get over the floor part (2:30). Maybe I'm misinterpreting the story, but what a dick. It doesn't matter if your son has been in a coma for however long. Don't be a dick.

That's my philosophical advice. Don't be a dick and don't be a bitch, and life will be much easier because people will actually want to be around you.

Maybe it's because I'm an absurdist and pragmatic, so I, as an individual, shoot for more attainable goals.

Not all of it ofc, try to view a different perspective of it, as one integrative system, it may make more sense now.
Also, she didn't provide evidence, but she provided a result of a research - based on, like, facts, and good systematic reports.
It's not information that's hanging in the air, it's pretty straightforward.

I saw no evidence in that video, not that I disagree with what she is sayin but I saw no evidence or even experiments for that matter.

Bleh.

Great when you're a fifteen-year-old learning about philosophy for the first time, but that movie is brutally bad.

Disagree ... and I liked the music a lot ... it does drag on a bit towards the end though.

"To go from one tradition to another does not have a true effect, because one god is equal the other. It is another caricature, another limitation. It is necessary to rise above the limitation in order to be open to life. The age we are living in has to stop being religious so it can be mystical." -Alejandro Jodorowsky, Psychomagic

He is answering a question about whether or not he thinks some traditions or religions are "better" than others.

Have you read any Peter J. Carroll or Phil Hine? if not you should check them out you may dig.

[gunslinger_burrito]

I'm not presenting this as "proof" of anything, since we've already discussed that....but I felt like it belonged in this thread.

I love mystic politics.
cool article.
I would think that the longer stepped rituals seem to work better because more time is spent where your subconscious is focused on solving the problem and you conscious mind is spending lots of time working on mundane things.

[gunslinger_burrito]

Agreed. Your subconscious probably "feels" as though since you're spending so much time on something, on purpose, then it must be of consequence.
