Welcome to taobums, Mr Yudelove!

In today's modern world, it is entirely possible that you may be compelled or required to submit to a polygraph test. It is extremely subjective, however they don't want you to know that. There is an interesting website that is very informative, and you should at least read this. I recommend printing it out, reading it at your leisure, and then putting it away someplace for future reference. For example, be prepared, though, the examiner will 'induct' you by stressing the physiological processes that will 'automatically' occur when you are concealing something, they will also ask you repeatedly if you've ever researched passing a polygraph on the internet or elsewhere...proving that they are worried you're onto their game. Even if you don't see yourself needing this information, tuck it away in your brain that it's there. Know that it exists. They generally will ask you questions of a various nature, not just specific ones. I've had to take a poly twice in my life, once when I was 20 years old and bartending, the management was concerned that some people were giving away free drinks, I somehow convinced myself in my head that I hadn't (though I had), and was one of 3 people out of 12 who wasn't fired. Anyone else have any polygraph stories or tips?

OK so what are you trying to say?

Some good stuff, but a bit sensational/hysterical. For example: "Health authorities in the U.S. and other western nations are currently engaged in a campaign to keep the population vitamin D deficient. This is achieved by brainwashing people into thinking sunlight alone causes skin cancer. That's a big medical lie, of course. Even the Journal of the National Cancer Institute has published scientific research showing that sunlight exposure reduces the risk of skin cancer" Yeah, right. BIG conspiracy in this country to deprive people of vitamin D. Them docters is just waitin' for us all to get rickets, so they can laugh all the way to the bank.

I think they call that a TAOBUMS ROYAL FLUSH.....

Tao99, I see your TWO SHITS and a FUCK and will raise you a PISS and a STEAMY DUMP.

SereneBlue My apologies about the 'naive' comment. I just think that if you are inexperienced and dont have a reliable real world guide or teacher, by what measure do you trust or evaluate the entities who appear to you? I still think one should tread lightly with entities, and I'm not sure what to make of 'Dr. Morris' appearing to people. Will have to set with this awhile. Santiago, what do you mean by 'naive are the ones who can't see SHIT'? If one doesn't see entities, that makes one spiritually naive? If you could clarify your post, it would be helpful for me to understand. I'm willing to reconsider my views with more information.

Marblehead, Keep your voice down. My begonias are beginning to wilt and I have a souffle in the oven. Plus, remember, we all agreed to follow "Roberts Rules of Order" for all posts here. And please, put that cigar out. I'm getting a sinus headache. My Trails are Happy, So Feel Free to Follow in my Footsteps, Songs bewellhappy!

Yes, it's very quiet, controlled and very subdued. Rather like a meeting of the local garden club at the tea room of the country club. Please take your shoes off, no controversial topics, keep your voice at a whisper and all member's members must be leashed at all times. Oh, and welcome to you!

OK, I'm in. /!\ >>> _/\_

Okee doke, then. But proceed at your own risk. Don't say Songs didn't warn ye.

Sex with astral entities? Sure! Go ahead!! I don't say it can't be done, but I also if you don't know what you're dealing with, don't fuck with it!

Wow. A very naive attitude. If I were an astral entity, I would be smacking my lips at a naive waif such as you are presenting yourself...Entities can take on whatever form they like in order to gain access to what...? Your energies, your essence, most easily accessible through the sexual force. They can seduce you so you won't even know it. Jeez, Serene your trusting these entities?? I have heard advanced teachers even warning not to trust visions of Christ, Buddha, angels...they are almost certainly false entities. If they can, why wouldn't they take on a form to to seduce you...what could be better? They're not stupid, they feed on human energies, if they want something, they will take on a seductive form. (Didn't you see that Indiana Jones movie where the beautiful spectre turns into a hideous demon?) They like to attach themselves to human beings as parasites and possess them. What better way than as an appealing sex partner? It sounds like you are often too accommodating in your life, don't give away your spirit to some parasite who comes in a form to possess you! I advise caution...you don't yet understand what you're dealing with, so you are at their mercy...do some reading...like: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0892816120

There is hardly an embodied being i would want to take on the energies of through sex, let alone with an entity. Ugh. Spiritual suicide if you ask me. What's this 'wicked side' witch refers to anyway. Wicked is wicked. You're not being 'daring' and pissing off the stuffy parson by having sex with an entity, its like having anonymous sex with any person in an orgy or something, you're just taking on God knows what kind of energy and karma, no astral condom, either.Go ahead, if it makes you feel wicked, go for it. You're probably not aiming for the Light anyway. .

Gak! tmi.

True, but some of the behavior that I personally find so frustrating is by a few individuals who have no insight into the way they come across to others, even when it is specifically pointed out to them by quite a few of us. According to them, it we that don't understand, we are somehow inferior. Many of us are offended and put up resistance. The kind of proselytizing they do are not even understood as beliefs, but rather "comprehensions" of the Truth. Most of our stuff is in reaction to what seems to be insufferable boorish behavior. An invasion of zealots we should not suffer. I think even you, Stigweard, have been drawn into the fray. Hey, if they can abide by this, I am happy to hear a real dialogue without the over-the-top air of superiority/inferiority, possession of the truth or that their 'enlightenment' is the highest form of enlightenment and everyone else's is lesser. If they can bring their views and opinions across in a non-offensive way, I have absolutely no problem-none-with an on-going healthy dialogue and exchange.

Well, the steps are nice in a general sense, but as far as specifics, they fall short. It would be hard to 'call out' another based on these as they sort of are a guide to the spirit of discussion, but are not a code of conduct per se. A step in the right direction for sure, but need further fleshing out, (in my opinion). .

It's Ok, Robin. You're still very young and Batman still seems like da Bomb. p.s., why is Batman getting into all these scrapes with people? Even the Joker is getting kind of tired of him...
