  1. Hillary and Trump

    Pretty sure Hillary isn't dead yet, but I've been wrong before.
  2. Hillary and Trump

    Huff post is the worst.
  3. Hillary and Trump

    What, you think you're the only one?
  4. Hillary and Trump

    No to both for economic and defense reasons. Jeb Bush, ideally...but there's a greater chance of this happening...
  5. Hillary and Trump

    I find your lack of respect for other forum members amusing.
  6. Hillary and Trump

    If that's what your culture is, then feel free to vote for him. It's not my culture.
  7. Hillary and Trump

    I did miss that remark, although it's not nearly as significant as this. Such a remark, I would expect from him, and it wouldn't have changed my mind about voting for him.
  8. Hillary and Trump

    I was not under the impression he was cheating on his current wife, attempting to do it with other married women, taking advantage of his position of (relative) power. I can see how one would assume that about him before, given his attitude and comments sometimes...but I don't think this info was out there.
  9. Hillary and Trump

    Fully agree. The fact is: literally no one alive or dead is perfect. Still, there is better and worse. There is such thing as a step over the line.
  10. Hillary and Trump

    I'm sure of that, as well. ... President of the US is supposed to be a kind of sacred office. Because I don't want to argue that statement: in my opinion. Not all men speak like he did...much less do the things he did (while married, take advantage of his position of power by "grabbing pussies" of other married women). A time span of a decade can change people, but intuition tells me that he has not truly changed despite his apology today. Sure, all politicians are more or less corrupt and lacking in integrity. Bill Clinton did worse, and Hillary has protected him regarding it. I'm not voting for her, and don't care if she wins. It'd be great if Trump would just withdraw after this, so someone more competent could take his place.
  11. Has anyone here achieved super consciousness?

    It seems like you're referring to this: https://www.crystalclarity.com/yogananda/chap14.php Actually it wasn't that experience.
  12. Hillary and Trump

    Well, Trump's "locker room" comments about women from 2005 were a step too far. His lack of integrity has lost him at least one vote.
  13. Has anyone here achieved super consciousness?

    Oh, in that case yes. Red dragon practice from Kunlun, combined with being in nature on a camping trip, easily caused the effect.
  14. Has anyone here achieved super consciousness?

    I personally interpret this term of "super consciousness" to mean omniscience. Knowing and seeing everything. Nope, not there yet.
  15. Omens

    Signs are a product of the mind only. It's very essential to ignore them if you want to maintain a sane and healthy life. In our reality, there are constantly numerous potential signs everywhere, yet we only see a small portion of reality from our perspectives. In the case of being aware of omens, the mind is creating a story that's interesting out of meaningless coincidences...if you start to play into it, it happens more. Just realize that it's one way the mind tends to function...that what you focus on, you become more aware of in the world. It's good to focus instead on goals that you have, and work toward them. This way you're using your mind in an active way, and not a passive one...best to lead yourself through life than to be led anywhere the wind blows.
  16. Where do you stand politically

    It's only about certain topics that I'm strongly that way.
  17. Where do you stand politically

    I was slightly Left and slightly Libertarian on this test...two things which I am not in general.
  18. Where do you stand politically

    They seemed leading, and inadequate to truly provide accurate results.
  19. Rituals and "ex opere operato"

    Pretty much anyone can color in one of these... But how many can create and paint one of these... What I'm trying to say is that some things just require you to do it, and it works for anyone of basic capacity, while other things are an art and require skill of the doer.
  20. Sitting there is an effort...maybe to be truly effortless, you can do anything you want with the body.
  21. Hillary and Trump

    I thought it was a decent debate, considering that no one really likes either of these people. Honestly, they both did well, and also poorly. I can't say there was a clear winner. I thought Trump was very factual regarding the economy and foreign trade, ISIS and domestic terrorism...but then again, he had his demeanor and sometimes hilarious statements which put many people off. Hillary seemed to do well toward the end, although I'm not sure exactly why, considering the almost complete lack of substance she brought to the table.
  22. what is the point of football?

    Yep...having money is a very good thing.
  23. what is the point of football?

    Someone could also ask, what is the energetic cost of not playing in the NFL? The answer is: millions of dollars each year.
  24. Hillary and Trump

    Nope.
