Member Quotes
Like the illusion of Wall Street, with its vast and powerful investment banks, now shuttered, China too is an illusion perpetuated by the Globalists that gave us the 15,000 mile Caesar salad, poisoned cat food and lead based paint on babies' pacifiers. Like the illusion that money would come from thin air to always push housing prices higher, China has spent a generation pursuing its illusion. Pursuing an unattainable dream to be like the West, while 6000 years of its carefully shepherded top soil blows into the sea.

I chose the last option. I'm very much looking forward to it.
Everyday life is like a boxing match with an opponent who can kick your ass with ease and the match only ends when you die and your only get breaks when you sleep. The odds are always against you and you can expect to receive an emotional and psychological beating everday. Everything you want is always just out of your reach. Life is stressful, scary, humiliating, unforgiving and not worth the hassle. Sure there are a few enjoyable moments here and there like sex or smoking a cigarette, but overall it's crap. It would be great if I had been aborted.

It seems indeed that there is no smooth sailing for anyone of us. Life get's you, the one way or another. This leads to the conclusion that the purpose of the whole exercise must be that a matrix is provided in and upon which one is able to learn and conclude, for the most part through the outcome of one's actions and interactions.

The idea is that one checks out at the end (personal death) with a broader knowledge from experience, since everyone who checks in is bound to have experiences, no matter how benign, interesting, boring, trivial etc. The kind of experience on has is secondary, one could even state irrelevant. Whithead states: To fear death is to misunderstand life: link

Terrence McKenna comes closest in wording it well.
Check YouTube entries about him. Eros and Eschaton for instance. Also quite remarkable: Dec. 2012 has been determined by him independently from Jose Arguelles, who promoted the Mayan calender, as a pivotal date for that change. McKenna calls it Omega point.

He speculates that time could be annihilated in its current definition for instance. McKenna certainly recognized the magnitude of what's to come. It is something much larger than death.

The original content of this post was in response to a post by anagami that I thought was particularly offensive.

The post by anagami has since been removed, rendering my post unneccesary.

You should be banned for that.

What do you refer to 100KM?
All from anagami I could find on this thread was this, quote:

I'm happy and fine with all possible outcomes after death...

An accurate statement that is, in itself conclusive, since valid.

A ban means the exclusion of options. Is there something that you yourself hide from or need to avoid as a possible outcome?

Take a good look at the last victim that has been excluded:



She died at age 21. Because of people like you!! Banned from further posting on this site. Also referred to as the Savinar complex - living the future before the present.

OK, let's disregard the missing messages then and focus on the subject matter of mortality:
Are you ready to be confronted with this entity or do you prefer to hide behind constructs that promise eternal live?

I rarely think about death. My freethinking time gets spent on how to keep my family alive and loved to the very best of my ability.

There's wisdom there that I first learned in USMC bootcamp. And it's one of the fundamentals of leadership.

I remember four past live and two of my deaths.

Been there, done that. Again and again and again, lol!

I don't fear death, but I do fear dying and living in horrible conditions on earth prior to death.

I don't remember much other than an occasional hangover from the evening before, to talk of a previous existence a-la Hindu mythodolody is comletely and entirely foreign to me.

Could you please elaborate-for the rest of us- how to access data of past live?!
