... In which case I promise to be on my best behaviour! Oh, and seriously, to all those lovely folk who enquired about me, I'm fine, for the most part. ...

... Don't be mean, you can go off a person you know. Besides, I bet barely a soul has been in the chat room since I left. But I'm feelin' kinda chatty again. ...

The deep significance of the placebo effect
Captain Mar-Vell replied to Nikolai1's topic in General Discussion
... Oh dear. More self incrimination. I shouldn't post this... But I have a lot of sympathy for nikolai's pov, which is perhaps more subtle than folk realise. Notions such as "collective or even cosmic (sub)consciousness", placebo/nocebo, "consensus reality," the primacy of mind over matter and so on, however unlikely they may seem, may have some substance. I have had insights concerning this that I really cannot put into words. It's difficult to conceive of such a thing on a universal level. Sorry! Faith moves mountains. The mustard seed is planted. Now, cigarette packets carry powerful nocebo mantras, so some years ago, I decided to try a little self hypnosis. I carefully cut letters from spare packets and using cellotape and as much care and time as I could muster, I changed the messages whilst still making them look authentic. These boxes I would decant my cigarettes into and use all the time. I called them my box cantrips. Now my boxes carried nice, positive messages! eg "Smoking Skills", "Smoking seriously heals you and others" and so on. I'll edit this later. I don't want folk thinking I'm crazy. I know, I know, it's way too late for that. ... -

Premature Kundalini. How to tread careful?
Captain Mar-Vell replied to Katastral's topic in General Discussion
... My own experience physically healed me and made me stronger. That ain't no delusion. Psychically and emotionally and intellectually very disorientating though. But anything that can be done on purpose can be done by accident. Yet maybe there are no accidents. Mostly these days I don't want to talk about it. ... -
... T S Eliot's powers of prophecy are in poor repute. Otherwise he would have foreseen Lloyd Weber and "Cats," and never written the thing. Magnetic shift? Solar radiation? Background radiation? Sounds like a bumpy ride... ...

... You don't choose choiceless awareness. Choiceless awareness chooses you. Chew on that. ...

... More seriously, here are some more that have occurred to me over the years; To be. To do. Dobedobedo. To serve others. To serve God. To serve Man ( ). To achieve self realisation. To have a good time, whilst harming none. To make it through 'till tomorrow morning. To Love. To procreate. To encourage the conscious Evolution of Mankind. And so on. I will say the last one rather chose me. ...

AMERICAN GUY ATTAINING RAINBOW BODY! :D
Captain Mar-Vell replied to Wells's topic in Buddhist Discussion
... One day. You ain't ready yet, suckers! But isnt this rainbow body thing about dying? It's been said before, it seems a bit pointless, but I sense some confusion around this term "rainbow body." But I can think of more important things than leaving behind a peculiar corpse. ...- 14 replies

... Typically "suffering" is understood to mean "unsatisfactoriness (imperfection?)" or even "impermanence." It is a subtle concept in buddhism. ...

what is reality and what is illusion ?
Captain Mar-Vell replied to TaoMaster's topic in Daoist Discussion
Whatever we want it to be. We decide. What is real, and what illusion. These are just concepts, ie labels which we choose to attach to phenomena. I got the Moody Blues right here. ... -
