What do you feel when you think about...

Which is why, despite the fact that some of buddhist philosophy comes closet to how I live my life, it still gets that "Discard as Religion" stamp from me. Those ppl are being herded as well as any Catholic/Islamic/<insert religion here> sheep I've seen.

Hmmm, that's too bad Indi, you should be more open minded

Lol, LW, you've been listening to Ajahn Brahm again.

BTW, you are wrong about animals not being able to make predictions. There's a beautiful study on (monkeys, I think?) where starving animals were given a choice between taking food or not if it meant a companion gets a nasty shock. Very significantly, these animals did NOT choose to take the food, even tho very hungry.

Who the **** made a cruelty like this? What happened to the animals afterwards?


Anyway, I was thinking of lucid dreaming today, and how some people claim to have seen the future. It reminded me an awful big deja vu I had in the work one day.
So I did research and found that birth and death is accompanied with large doses of DMT what your brain produces. DMT is also present when one is dreaming. I could tell that its just a hallucigen, but since some people see the future and have huge dejavus, maybe it is something more? Got to extract it from somewhere, maybe I can get to the other side.

Some of my friends have done DMT. Apparently it's the most intense trip ever and just amazing

Yeah, depressing that people 'care' enough to shock animals and starve them just to see if they can predict something. Might as well read about it, since it's been done though... right?

I guess that 'might just reead about it' stuff was sarcasm. No?

First of all, if a man spends enough time in nature, he wouldn't need such a test.

I don't care if something is left undiscovered or some fat dude dies in skin cancer, just don't do animal testing, thats nazism.

I kill deer and pheasants and rabbits. Caribou in Quebec sometime this winter, if I get l lucky.

They all move to Hollywood & become extras for movies like 'Over the Hedge', boobass.

I gave religion a chance, DM. Did the whole church as youth, sunday school, etc. I even have relatives who are clergy. It failed miserably, sorry. I simply see no utility for religion in my life.

boobaa I hear you man.

It's sad that for as far as we've come as humans... all the advances in technology and medicine... the world would be better off without us.

On the subject of death. My ex's mum had a book called "Death, the final orgasm".

[IndiReloaded]

Death is like the closing of a book. Now, a more interesting question to me is What Kind of Book Am I?

[Mish]

Death doesn't bother me because I don't think about it

Though, I remember I freaked out once. I was in bed with my ex at night she was sleeping. I looked at her, I looked at me, I looked at the house and thought in some 100 years this house will proly still be here but her and me will be lying buried underground somewhere.

I believe if you think about it long enough you can go crazy

[DoesntMatter]

Naw, I think if I thought about it long enough I would join the Army or Marines and bring death to assholes trying to kill me

[anachronistic]

Anyone seen grumpy/grumpier old men? Burgess Meredith was so hilarious in that movie. A lot like my own grandpa

[zoso]

I don't want to think about myself dying. I don't want to think of all the things I could have done and should have, the friends and people I will miss, how short my life was, etc... It's just depressing, and not worth it.

I just like living... as should everyone

One thing to add:
I hate funerals... but not because I get teary-eyed and whatnot, I just hate seeing dead bodies. (as in open-casket funerals.)
It just feels so unnatural to look at this empty shell of a person.... ugh!
