    I'm not the one who is scoffing. Any set of report of my experience or links that i post are what's being scoffed at.

    An atheist is lack in the belief of a deity. You can't be an atheist and also believe in God.

    It does not, and had you ever paid attention in science class you would know that.

    How can I possibly reason with an individual who has no concept of proper science?

    Why should I explain to you what you should have learned in science class?

    Honestly, why should I?

    As far as I have been concerned, the theory regards that African Apes evolved into Hominids which then eventually became Humans. Now explain your version.

    If that is your explanation, there is no reason for me to educate you. You are clearly stuck in your stupid ways in which you will forever clap for fairies like a child because you do not possess the intellect to grow up.

    If you want a proper, intellectual discussion, by all means learn something beyond your close-mindedness.

    Whatever you say man. Not sure what the hell your idea is of how humans evolved regarding Darwin's theory but i pretty much summed it up. Look it up in any book or website.

    The only thing to elaborate is that the African Apes also diverged into more distinct apes, alongside hominids.

    Conversely, you want to portray science as practically only a political arena for control overlooking the fact it has provided us with many new outlooks on the world, such as this internet here, which has given people, the common citizen in particular, more of a voice than ANY other time in the history of mankind, including such times when some of these magical and mythological beliefs you ascribe to and promote were more widely held.


    There is a scientific organization called SETI which is exploring different ways to attempt to communicate with ET's. It's not that science is unwilling to explore such possibilities as the existence of Extra-Terrestrials, it's that good science is going to take a methodological approach to the issue, rather than observe a bit of mystery and automatically ascribe it to the work of ET's, like Ancient Astronaut theorists for example.

    This is incorrect. To start a science experiment, you need a hypothesis . The experiment is testing the hypothesis, a scientific theory comes following the experiment based upon the substantiation of the hypothesis and/or observations.

    I'm not overlooking the advancements that Science has given us. But i feel that it's rather easy to overlook what is and isn't funded in Science. For example, what gets more funding, NASA or SETI? But luckily, even NASA has made a public announcement that they feel that we will find ET's within 20 years. I still feel that this is a coverup for the fact that they already know about it, but that's just my opinion.

    The internet has also made humans apathetic and numb. The voice of the common citizen in the 60s without the internet blows the hell out of the modern day.

    Obviously LSD was a part of it and was a Scientific discovery. What I'm now asking for is a Scientific discovery of something that has been denied by Science long enough, and that's Kundalini.

    I think there are enough people who have common denominator subjective experiences in the world for a Kundalini Hypothesis to begin.

    I disagree, Perhaps some context is needed on your part. The week long Burning Man Festival attracts nearly as many people as the Summer of Love did in the 1960's. The amount of music festivals now during any given year, dwarf Woodstock, Monterey and the failure of Altamont.

    The only other significant movements and voices of dissent from the 1960's I think could be mentioned are Vietnam, which we don't really have a comparable war to and the civil rights and feminist movements, which has made a ton of headway but even still we have seen some acting out in those areas in recent years.

    Even if I were to accept your claim of apathy, it is more telling about the nature of humans, rather than a confining quality of science as you seem to be continually insinuating.

    Burning Man and music fests are nothing but money-making sellouts. Just because society is now cashing in on what was original with Monterey and Woodstock, doesn't make them better.

    Well Science and humans are intrinsically interlinked. Was it Science or was it humans that put the entire species at risk with the Nuclear Bomb invention? It's both.

    I don't have the convenience of saying that every time was a pharmacological happening even though body chemistry plays a role in all embodied states. I haven't had as much experience with the variety of drugs you have but i have had ecstatic experiences in the absence of taking drugs which I cannot predict the onset of but can say they are associated with emotional intensity. I can't figure out the benefit of things being one way or the other but I can say I have benefited from a relationship with something that is not separate from me but all the same displays a larger awareness than I assume myself to have. I know where the questions come from because I ask them but I can't account for the source of the answers and can't figure out why our minds would be arranged in such a way as to conceal ourselves from ourselves. How is it I know these things having not known them. Where does revelation come from. The simpler explanation for me to comprehend is that I am in communication with a non-local mind. Of course that non-local impression could be accounted for by the term sub-consciousness, or consciousness to a degree not currently apparent.

    Ya know, that is the exact same thing that runs through my mind every single time you quote me or attempt to participate in one of these conversations.
