Sometimes I wonder why I post on the web? Intellectual stimulation, loneliness in our fast paced society and a desire for connection with other like minded people like myself? Or is it simple boredom??

Someone recently commented on one of my replies on another thread that 'I'm desperately trying to project doom', I don't think so. I feel that I have a vested interest in this life after 45 years, and I have a desire for the life and the human civilization that I have been a part of to continue on.

At first I was a cornucopian, believing like many that 'they'll think of something', but after many years of reading here, seeing the evidence, watching the documentary's and lectures, I realize that humanity is heading for a cliff. If financial collapse doesn't destroy society, then it might be peak oil, or catastrophic climate change, or overpopulation and overshoot, or a myriad of other problems.

I think I come to this site and many others in search of novelty. In search of new thought, of new ways of conceptualizing my worldview. And so I've searched and searched and in the process I've encountered some really weird and eccentric stuff.

I though it might be interesting to start a thread regarding the weirdest stuff out there, both in terms of ideas and of ways to conceptualize the world.

From my Ayahuasca experiences I now believe that telepathy is real, (Having experienced it firsthand), and that communication with the higher self, ie channeling is real, and a host of other things. Over the next few weeks I'll try to post some of the weirdest things that I've encountered, that I believe are real on this thread. I encourage other members to post the really weird truth from the world here as well. I'll start with this link, If you watch it for 2 minutes you'll get a temporary visual hallucination where static pictures or images will temporarily flow and ebb:

Okay, no bites with that one.

Scientific research has been done on telepathy using dogs. That dogs who are close with their owners know when their owners have made a conscious decision to go home and who will go sit at the door and wait for them.

We have been brought up to believe that the mind is located inside the head. But there are good reasons for thinking that this view is too limited. Recent experimental results show that people can influence others at a distance just by looking at them, even if they look from behind and if all sensory clues are eliminated. And people's intentions can be detected by animals from miles away. The commonest kind of non-local interaction mental influence occurs in connection with telephone calls, where most people have had the experience of thinking of someone shortly before they ring. Controlled, randomized tests on telephone telepathy have given highly significant positive results. Research techniques have now been automated and experiments on telepathy are now being conducted through the internet and cell phones, enabling widespread participation

I think on the Web one finds an incredible expansive list of subjects people are interested in as well as information. Now since we are currently posting on this site, I will say that here nothing particularly weird is being written or thought about other than of course Doom haha. Seriously, it is as if they're are two separate realities, one is the outside world and the sometimes drudgery of daily living and here where the trajectory of humanity is being discussed in honest and revealing ways. So I am sure a diligent surfing on the Net would reveal much novel, weird and esoteric knowledge but I myself am fascinated by this dichotomy of what seems like a blind world headed for whats seems inevitable disaster and us here discussing in real time this slow motion train wreck.

Most amazing to me is being able to land an email with anyone anywhere, to be able to connect directly with real people doing whatever takes your fancy.

My son says "You tube is your friend." We have used it to butcher hogs, build aquaponics, rocket stoves, pizza ovens etc.

The other day while shopping, I heard a 60 something lady tell her friend how much she liked the internet, she said you can learn to do anything, and as a matter of fact she repaired her own car by watching You tube!

Talk about a liberating technology.

That was really cool, and reminiscent of bygone times.

I have a question for you, though. Are you saying that your hallucinogenic experiences were accompanied by a blank visual warping, such as the one that this video produces, or did you see things? Did you see things that, when you tried to concentrate on them, went away?

Yes, however far more vivid and they lasted for hours. This effect wears off in less than a minute. Here's an interesting link that has full details:

I'm a spiritual explorer too though it made me go nuts. I've also done DMT but I've found using frequencies more interesting. Here's one that's fun, it's called the dolphin frequency. To use it place this archetype at the pineal gland in royal blue and move your consciousness through the royal blue dot at the center. Your pineal gland is at the center of your head. To come off of it place yourself in the color brown for 10-20 seconds.

The feeling of this frequency is very relaxing and playful you may encouter dolphins trying to communicate with you. It's also good for insomnia.

Linky please:

[mmasters]

You wont find about it on the web, cept maybe a blurb on expansions.com these were discovered by a blind woman who could see shapes and archetypes and spent years trying to make sense of them. Stewart Swerdlow of expansions.com stole the information from her and has it in his books but a lot of it is altered and the guy is a con artist. The lion frequency is a very good one too but more complicated than the dolphin.

Watch out for that skunk frequency though Doc!

Since my Ayahuasca experiences of last year I now believe that people can channel the higher self. There is one fellow on the web I have been drawn to named Lincoln Gerger. He has made hundreds of videos where he channels the higher self (God), on a variety of issues. I have been viewing his videos regularly.

I believe that he is authentic and that he is not a scam artist. All his videos are free on youtube and he doesn't encourage or require you to pay him or buy his vitamin supplements. (He runs an online herbal vitamin store as his livelihood)

Today I watched one of his videos and it gave me a chill right up my spine. The video was about if their is a power elite controlling the world, and the channeled message that came back was actually quite chilling:

Suggesting that people have voluntarily surrendered their personal power and enslaved themselves in order to find security. The only solution is to take your personal power back, by surrendering your personal ego identity to the larger consciousnesses.

I kind of like my personal ego identity and to surrender it to a larger consciousness, to me this would be like voluntarily agreeing to become one with the Borg.

Could some of you please watch this and give me your honest appraisal of this process?

Well, enslavement in the bible goes to the sins. Maybe you meant habits or character of mind, which can also bind ? Is a person merely a matrix of their habits ?

[GoghGoner]

Thanks for the first video. Sometimes when I run through the night(s), I hallucinate with the same feel as after watching the video. Most recently, after 45 hours awake, running through the mountains, the whole forest was flowing like a river (with a similar pattern to the video). That was pretty interesting and I wasn't too bad off until a couple of hours later when the visions progressed and a tree jumped on me causing me to fall off the trail. Luckily, it wasn't a steep ravine I went down and hit a rock to stop myself.

Neale Donald Walsh is in many ways the founder of the New Age religion movement. I believe that he is authentic, and that his personal failings demonstrate his commitment to truth.

In addition to his 'Conversation with God' series of books, he did a deeply touching series of audio books called 'Friendship with God', which in my personal experience was awe inspiring:

There are those of us out there who don't see the world in a cause-effect type of narrative. This is embodied in the duality, non-duality argument.

Some see us all as one thing. One 'Is-ness' of reality, and separateness of this from that is an illusion.

I've got to say that I've been, (and still am), in the duality, cause-effect paradigm. I'm not you and you're not me. I have my story, and you have yours. That I am qualitatively different from a wolf, tree, or a rock.

This fellow takes the opposite view- the non-duality perspective:

Intellectually stimulating to contemplate.

Teal Swan does a weekly new age spiritual video.

She has lived the true life 'Pretty woman' story. She was sexually abused by her uncle growing up and pimped out as a high price escort, where if you had to ask 'How much?' you couldn't afford her. She married a multi-millionaire, who rescued her, and now her life mission is to help others advance spiritually.

She's one of my hero's and she offers weekly help on spiritual concerns. Here are a few sample videos:

Sometimes we just need to accept the fact that human beings are just mortals, and we are unlikely to become gods/immortal/invincible just of our technology. Previous civilizations have collapsed, and there is no reason to believe we (as in modern industrial civilization) are any less prone to collapse than them. I wouldn't surprised in centuries from now, people will have myths about the glories and horrors of our present civilization. Like other people have mentioned on this forum, centuries from now, humans may no longer have the ability to fly...it was only because of petroleum that humans could fly...when there is no longer any accessible petroleum for human usage, only birds, certain mammals, insects and etc may be the only animals that can fly.

People of the future may envy or fantasize about how their ancestors could fly and they cannot. These same people may also be amazed at stories of how their ancestors created computers to communicate and talk to people from far away...another technology they can no longer produce. At the same time, they may lament at the horrors of modern man's petroleum-fuelled war machines that caused untold amounts of carnage and death.

The people of today may be seen as gods in the eyes of our descendants centuries from now...with amazing and also frightening power our descendants can no longer harness, as modern man has depleted all of the resources for his descendants to achieve such feats.

Worse than anything that new age spirituality has produced; establishment physicists arguing about why the universe exists:

The politics involved in this within the physics community is startling
