Jeez - it's the 21's century FFS. Isn't it time we moved on from all this religion nonsense....?

Right.
And to explain a brick all we need is eleven dimensions and an infinite number
of universes.

Depends on whom you're explaining the brick to, I'd venture. ;-)

And actually, so far, seven dimensions seem to be quite adequate, thank
you very much. I'm curious about that eighth one that he alludes to, but
I think that comes after completion of the current manifestation.

Bullshit.

My, aren't we glib today, in our Declaration of Everything That Could

Or maybe arrogant.

Wiser than the creator of yourself? Good Job! That is the goal, after all.

Yes, but it's "in code", in that it's not a map in the conventional sense.
The final answer is that, on Earth, She lives in your butthole.

If you're interested in exploring some options, there are instructions,

and sort of an explanation of what "inner listening" is, at
http://www.godchannel.com .

Yeah, it's outside science. Yeah, it comes off as maniacal rantings of a
lunatic.

So what? I'm a scientist, after all - that means one who endeavors to find
answers, no? And if the existing tools can't reach the object of your
investigation, you have to invent new tools, right? And is it not true
that a declaration of "It couldn't possibly be" is about the most
blockheaded fundie-level faith, that's actually contrary to the spirit of
science itself?

Who told me I know everything there is to know about the way reality
works? Or, more importantly, who told _you_ that what they told you about
the way reality works is all there is to the way reality works?

Thanks,
Rich

Total horseshit.

The problem is undoubetedly that very few people will put up with the
over TWENTY TIMES REDUCTION in payment rates for writing articles for
publication.

Thirty years ago, you could easily get filty rich writing tech stories
for magazines.
Today, you cannot even remotely approach prison wages.

The stuff from Cyril Bateman is priceless. How he gets the time
I just do not know.

I just got my January issue, with the 4th Cyril Bateman article.
While this article alone makes the issue worthwhile for me, there
were plenty of other good things to grab my attention. Not one to
declare EW down and out, I recently renewed my 3-year subscription.
Plus I'll make a submission sometime soon to keep the ball rolling.

Thanks, I hope the authorites note it down.

Just out of curiosity, it wasn't built on an ancient Indian burial ground
with serious radon emissions from a crashed alien ship used for dumping
genetic waste? One Stephen King idea isn't quite enough to explain your
mind...

Could some kind Californian please pass on transcripts of this newsgroups to
the right people?

As if you had the balls to take any action!

Well I certainly don't solicit addresses for the purposes of popping round
for a punch up if that is what you mean.

Nor would I want to visit!

I'm just relieved you are very far away.

(and actually, the doctors are even more adamantly against any other
possibilities than you are - when people learn to heal their own selves,
the doctors are out of a job.)

Well, no, hence the expression "the lunatics have taken over the asylum"
is used to describe a very bad situation indeed.

Well why waste your time here then?
Even if you have discovered eternal life.

Because it's lonely out here.

You're viewed as a nutter, and lonely.

Do you spot the causal link correlation factor?

Incidentally if you do find eternal life, you should find something to
occupy yourself - forever.

Sitting in your room with a computer typing to people whose only response is
to call you a ranting loonie doesn't count. Are you really are that fricking
lonely?

Come back in 200 years and people might believe about
your eternal life thing.

OK. See ya then!

No you won't.

Nice of you to notice. Awfully kind of you to offer your suggestions on
how to operate my life to your personal spec.

And this reality is....?

Which kids? I'm smarter than you - I haven't caused any screaming poop
machines, so I have no one to blame for my foolishness. ;-)

Thanks, I hope the authorites note it down.

Ah. Authority addiction. I guess there's no reason to continue to try to
insert abstract thoughts into this particular concrete head.

Thanks!

If you're not interested in visiting a higher dimensionality, and learning
the answer to pain and suffering, ending said pain and suffering, and
introducing eternal life to manifestation, then fine.

Yes, we electronic engineers are just a bunch of ingrates who don't can't
tell the words of a spiritual genius from those of a mental case. We who
dismiss your wonderfully rational arguments as "bollocks" or "bullshit".

Please treat us with the disdain we so richly deserve, oh great guru, and
seek out souls more worthy of your multidimensional wisdom, in some other
dimension.

Please preach to the worthy souls at your local hospital, I am sure the
doctors there will be most interested in your views. If you could just post
your home address on this newsgroup then I'm sure they will pop round for a
cosy chat in no time.

Like I said to Kevin, it's no skin off my nose.

Well why waste your time here then?
Even if you have discovered eternal life.

It's an experiment, that "could" open the door to a greater vision of
reality itself.

We'll pass thanks. Come back in 200 years and people might believe about
your eternal life thing.

Personally if you have found eternal life then I don't think I want to spend
eternity listening to cross posted crap.

I totally agree. It looked remarkable like the (free)

Electronics Weekly.

The long 4 part series about high end amplifiers was so badly written that I
did not bother to read most of it. And as it was mostly simulated, I have
my doubts about the validity (See Robert Pease's articles about his run-ins
with SPICE and the article that E&WW ran on simulators..)
Not to mention the "magnetic universe"article.
I also will not renew my subscription if things do not improve.

I don't mind being ignorant about your state of mind, Rich. Really, don't worry
yourself. I'll survive just fine.

And like I said, you can discuss your own internal state of mind and I won't
argue. But that's all the further it goes.

Well, Cyril Bateman and occasionally others are struggling to keep it

and/or inclination these days to write articles for publication. Even
though the mechanics of production are absurdly easy these days; word-
processing, graphics programs, maths programs, simulators etc.. You
don't even have to snail-mail the MS.

If the new editor hasn't changed the policy, the payment for articles
is not inconsiderable. You might enquire.


I agree, it's not an either / or situation. So let's get writing!

Have they done a transcranial magnetic stimulator?

I know that the other students weren't 'stupid', but I cannot understand
the fear of simple (trivial) math AT ALL.

You have to remember that it is often taught badly - the emphasis is on
calculating speed rather than on understanding. Mathematics and physical
education are the 2 subjects that can be made arbitrarily hard by an inept
teacher. Most other subjects come out too easy if the teacher is inept; not
those two.

Bullshit.

There are two ways, in the main at least, of making non-falsifiable claims. The
first variety is to make a statement that is so broad or vague that it lacks any
propositional content -- a so-called 'undeclared' claim, which is essentially
unintelligible and meaningless. The second variety is to have an inexhaustible
series of excuses to explain away the evidence that would seem to falsify the
claim -- a so-called 'multiple-outs' claim.

Crystal therapists use pieces of quartz to "restore the balance and harmony to a
person's spiritual energy." But what does it mean to have unbalanced spiritual
energy? How is the condition recognized and diagnosed? What evidence would
prove that someone's unbalanced spiritual energy had been, or had not been,
balanced by the application of the crystal therapy?

Anyway, both techniques abound in the kind of claims made at that side. Avoid
saying anything quantitatively meaningful and, second, should something get said
that is concrete enough that it may actually appear to disagree with what
experience shows us, then a series of excuses are used to remedy the situation
and save appearances.

It's largely a hogswallop site. Slurp away, Rich.

Right.

Which I have less problem believing than supernatural being(s).

One criteria for intelligent life aught to be absence of belief in the
supernatural.

That discounts many human beings for a start.

BTW that god channel is the most nebulous load of codswallop I have read for
ages.
These people are indistinguishable from mental patients.

If God existed and wanted to tell people something, surely he could do a
direct broadcast into our heads and not need those nutters as some kind of
magic meat sock puppets...

He is, and has been since before you were even conceived.

When do you plan to start listening?
