    I see what you mean. It is as if to detract from the state of the damage done after all this time, the focus on physical things is greater, rather than an appreciation for the natural state of things (partially because it is not as nice as it was, lots of pollution, overdevelopment, etc.).

    Like trying to give the earth a facelift by putting on a facade of nice, new shiny things, completely glossing over what's under the surface of all our new homes, buildings, statues, streets, cars and things...

    The planet as it is now is the way humanity designed it. The planet of those times (whichever times you prefer) was not designed by the same hands. The same conscious knowledge was at work though. You are evidence of this.
    Consciousness is deified, especially under the Christian understanding. Still it must change and it's tendrils will always learn anew.
    Coming from someone with your seeming distaste for more esoteric matters it surprises me that you would feel this way. It is good to see that we are on a similar page in this. After all with most reasonable evidence for a global flood being easily discredited it can be hard for modern logic to acknowledge such a thing.

    LOL

    Never said I had a distaste for esoteric matters at all. Probably are a lot more "in that vibe" than you my friend. ;)

    I just have a distaste for people who try so hard to sound all philosophically enlightened and shit, yet can't formulate any communication that conveys anything beyond a mish-mash of empty platitudes and feeble attempts to impart some "zen wisdom" to us lower plebs.

    You do provide me with some laughs though watching you try so hard to sound so deep.

    Keep trying.:mickey:

    OK, I'll just ask you one question.
    What was the Great Pyramid built for?
    It certainly wasn't a tomb, nor was it used as one.

    If you choose to continually think I try to sound deep that is your decision to make, perhaps you should learn to take a compliment where one is given. No you do not seem to know very much outside of your rigid little bubble. That I cannot help. Around here most people prefer to speak their mind without having someone tell them it is wrong without any real reasoning behind their denials. Did it ever occur to you that one may have actually put in several years of thought before they up and started talking?
    Is this more of your thought? I think I've heard it a bit before. Like a song bird that cannot sing for itself anymore.

    Was it a tomb or was it a landing spot for aliens from a far, far away galaxy so they could safely land on our planet after a trillion lightyear flight?

    I'm not certain that it wasn't build as a tomb. After all, all this stuff about star travel is commonly interpreted as the travel of the dead pharao's spirit to the next world. Dead pharaos are often connected to tombs :p

    Got... to... restrain... myse.. Ok. I fully understand you get annoyed by what he says about your posts but you have to understand he is not telling you you are wrong! He's telling you your communication is lacking in clarity. So how could he conclude that you are wrong if he doesn't know what the hell you are saying ;)

    Well from my understanding the internal structure is nothing like other tomb pyramids.

    I honestly don't know who, why or what about it, nor does anyone else really.
    Some traditions attribute the building of the pyramid to Enoch of the Old Testament. When considering some of the apocryphal writing concerning Enoch and The Book of Enoch, it isn't a very far fetched idea.
    There is an entire school of thought that states that the Great Pyramid is a prophetic structure with the measurements coinciding with pivotal points in the Biblical telling of the span of man's time and relationship with God.
    But that is far to complex to even want to begin to get into with this crowd. :p
    There is also a accompanying philosophy regarding the zodiac. The twelve zodiac signs appear to predate history and in the more ancient traditions, convey the Gospel story. The key to this "story" is the Sphinx, head of a woman, body of a lion.
    So you actually begin with Virgo the Virgin and end with Leo the lion.
    Virgin Mary and the Lion of the Tribe of Judah?

    There are 3 smaller constellations associated with each zodiac constellation and the names of a lot of these constellations also predate written history, but when considered from the perspective outlined above, The Gospel Story, some very intriguing and beyond coincidence things start to become apparent.
    Again, too complex to want to get into with this crowd, but an interesting little book on it called "The Gospel in The Stars" is available.

    We are just animals. Animals with fancy toys who can speak in tongues. The earth animals and all the life aside were made possible by the circumstances of the cosmos. And wil perish by the same forces that made life possible.

    Old by what standards? Our own? Don't make the mistake of comparing us with the impartial body we reside on. The earth knows no age. We do. Either its to exist with life in tote or not. We would be wise to wise up to the elements of the cosmos which knows no mercy, or sanctity.

    Enjoy what you can. While you can.

    How can you or anyone else not understand what I posted above? The earth is designed by who or what resides on it at any given time. This is self evident. Consciousness always changes to accomodate it's surroundings. Also self evident. There is no irrefutable proof that the great flood did happen, yet I agree with Noxious that it did. Opinon yes but still perfectly understandable. Also I do not actually get annoyed with Noxious I just wish he would come to understand. You want to see who I've gotten annoyed with take a look at thedope before I started understanding his Way more fluently.

    I'm sorry but I see you are getting defensive about what he says and also you are generally focussing on being told you are wrong or disagreed with. This is not what is happening between you. Gas is telling you that you don't make sense, not that you are wrong. 2 different things.

    Also, you answered more than once by stating "how can others not understand...?" Well, I see that's a suprise for you but you better believe it anyway. We're not stating it repeatedly because we mean something else ;) :)
    You wish he would come to understand you but yo do not seem to acknowledge that he (and I obviously as well) stated again and again that it is the way you word it that is stopping him and me from understanding you.
    I am not eager to see who you gotten annoyed with, I was thinking I already saw a bit of annoyance from both of you for the reason explained. Your words do not always make sense to us unfortunately, especially when you get cryptic or in analogies or using buddhist teaching examples or something.

    Yes but what unconscious force is "designing" humanity,and should she take action to steer this ship in a way that is best for all,with reasoned consideration for the planet and other species,or just blindly "progress" into the sci-fi hell on Earth we seem to be creating into existence.Does consciousness create surroundings or surroundings create consciousness.Obviously a self-reciprocating feedback loop.Inversion of historical perspective requires a perceptual occlusion of the present.

    Perhaps humanity is made up along the way. Our conciousnesses influence our surroundings (through physical activity) and our surroundings shape our perceptions. We and our ancestors 'designed' our societies after all, not the creator of humans.

    As you say. The deaf ear does not hear because it was not meant to but the able ear does not hear because it chooses not to. People on here are the only ones I've seen that cannot grasp what it is I mean when I say what I do. Especially when I have resorted to being far less "cryptic" as you put it.

    When a hawk sees a mouse scampering beneath it is that mouse already food? Of course not. The mouse becomes the hawk's conscious awareness and in turn it becomes food. If you do not understand how this metaphor applies to what you asked then I will gladly reinterpret.
