Unless the data source is very easy to attach to . . . no.

I am not the kind of guy that places things outside of possibility, I just use my knowledge to eliminate bad models.

As a model using the energy of the mind to do almost anything but normal mind functions isn't going to work due to the massive energy demands that almost any task would require.

I mean seriously that is why we have muscles and use chemical energy.

However it is possible that there could be some kind of higher dimension where data and energy are accessible to this dimension.

The problem is this . . . . . If an event manifests itself in this 3D space, then we can analyze the energy, we (meaning scientists) can discover that this energy or data did not come from any place we can find, and this would drive the science community WILD!!!!!

That is why when I hear this stuff I tend to urge true believers to really seriously take the James Randi million dollar challenge seriously.

The problem. Most cons know there cons, and thus buck the idea of being outed.

Seriously if you can really do things . . . anything that could be considered paranormal let me know, Ill test you as a preliminary test for the JREF (there are many things that must be done to full fill the application for the million dollar challenge)

Nothing exists seperate from you,and everything is your own creation.Even your apparent lack of understanding is your own creation;it is,literally,a figment of your imagination.You imagine that you do not know the answer to this question,and so you do not.Yet as soon as you imagine that you do,you do.
You allow yourself to do this sort of imagining so that the process can go on.The process being life!

I don't think it'sa coincidence that today, before I even read this last post, I put that very advice to practise.

My car wouldn't start. The kids are already strapped in and Mike is going nuts about this new proplem. I, on the other hand, am cool as a cucumber 'cause this now gives me an opertunity to pluck my eyebrows without the car bumping around. As soon as I was done I sauntered over to the drivers side and started the car with no problem. I felt that the car wouldn't start so that I COULD pluck 'em.

Is that something to the effect of what your talking about, or am I way off base.

BTW...God gave me that answer!

I bet your hubby was annoyed at your calm. LOL

James the idea of pantheism is the same idea that we are one.

Yes you can be part of the ONE and connected and still be individual.

Every single cell in your body is an individual and intelligent organism. It can live in a petree dish and sometimes thrive even better than it did as part of your body of negative thoughts.

Your post shows how much you don't know about me and what I believe. You misunderstand and misinterpret my words all the time and half the time you don't seem to even read them. Your own thoughts and opinions are too loud to hear anything else.

Solipsism (Latin: solus, alone + ipse, self) is the position that nothing exists beyond oneself and one's immediate experiences. In philosophy, solipsism thus amounts to a refusal to acknowledge our common sense experience of the world as valid. The starting point of solipsism, the recognition that my own self-experience is the inevitable gate for any experience to reach me, represents a valid challenge to our common-sense perception of things as simply ‘being there'. The conclusion that everything in the outside world is nothing but a projection of my own self is philosophically quite untenable. Among other things, it makes genuine communication with others impossible, since each individual is bound, from the solipsist perspective, to consider others as non-existent entities. As a result, full-blown solipsism has hardly ever been adopted by a philosophical school.

On the other hand, much of modern philosophy rests on Descartes’ assumption that the “I” alone is certain. In middle age philosophy (and even for Descartes), the reality of the universe was guaranteed by God who created it. “I” was part of the world, and others were understood to be part of it on an equal footing, all belonging together to an organized and purposeful whole. In the modern scientific view, the world’s reality is taken as obvious on experimental and common sense grounds. With the loss of the absolute reference of a God transcending my own self, however, justifying the independent existence of a world outside me has become very problematic from a strictly philosophical viewpoint. Once my own self-awareness becomes the starting point of all certainty, every other entity I perceive becomes relative to my self and its reality can easily be challenged. If practically all modern and contemporary philosophies reject solipsism as a conclusion, they mostly remain open to its challenge. Thus, solipsism, the inability to go beyond one’s own world, stands as a reminder that the contemporary worldview generally lacks an ultimate point of reference.

From solipsism...to soup...we are dealing with some great wits here!What happend...no more elongated scientific mumbo jumbo!It's hard when you have to think for yourself!

What you believe is a soup that gets reheated and things added every day.
