I think that i, at least, am in an android/robot body, and that the universe with all its infinite space is within this body, and that we are in a place of co-creation to experience, choose, and grow into thinking, feeling entities.

They found human DNA in a 2 billion year old Martian meteorite. When you think that humans are at least that old, and how far we've come in just a few thousand years, you start to imagine all the scientific possibilities. I think that the pre exists ting race has moved into some safer, immortal method of existing, and are here with us, and probably live through us. It wouldn't surprise me if there are ancients leading our culture. From what I've seen, I think there is so much more going on.

I don't think all my thoughts come from me. I think we are trained by some other entities to think and are left to choose how to respond to our thoughts. Call them our guardian angel, or God, training us to know and take actions, and based on our reactions, we lead ourselves into good and bad karma. As the prayer goes: "lead us not into temptation ".

Well... I've been watching my dreams closely, and they aren't pretty. Some are experiences of not getting what I want, some are violent, never are there moments of joy or happiness. Lately I've noticed that I feel things as if I were awake, and I realize that I'm fully at the mercy of whomever has my soul. To make matters worse, I hear a voice whisper that I am going to hell on a daily basis, and I'm at a loss on how I could change that fate. If my dreams are any indication, hell could be quite bad for me.

When it comes to magic, it's really rather simple. Certain words contain ideas, that when a person understands the meaning of them, can be used to harness the brains focus and the body's energy to send forth energy into the universe, and a person can act upon them. Words like chaos, order, love, hate, good, evil; when a person uses these words they harness the energy from them, and that energy is mentally applied to the world. I think a lot of occult tools are a waste of time, why not go to the source of the words instead of these rituals?

Well, having been raised Christian, and early on started following my own will and desires, and later returning to examine Christianity, i realize that while following impulse and desire is satisfying, it can lead a person to destructive behavior. I guess I believe that human beings are prone to selfish behavior, but can learn compassion and charity, which honestly, is good for society.

I mean individually. What was the spark that started your journey

I'm curious to know about the groups origins. What got you into the occult, philosophy and religion?

One needs to understand the limitations of God, if there are any. Then you should ask yourself what that God likes. I'm of the opinion that God knows what needs to be done.

Life isn't black and white. A lot goes into people's choices. Sometimes evil is accidental, or from external factors. We have to consider that we are all human, and don't always make the right choices.

So, I read this thread and started singing my own private Idaho by the b 52s. Then I log into Facebook and the first thing on my feed is a story about that movie

I'm not in charge of the simulation, I just interact with it. Id say that it happens because God is making it clear that it's a simulation.

It takes a person years to contemplate, compare and consider moral ideals, and to gather axiom to stand by as they create a set of ideals. People aren't just born understanding these things. Also, because we aren't all educated monks, parents don't always treat children the right way, and the child develops improper behavior. It takes a good set of teachings and good teachers to raise people to a moral level.

I think you're all in mine

While it may be possible to always do the right thing because it's embedded in our being, the truth is that most of us fail. That is why they worship Jesus, because he walked perfectly through life and was without sin. I would still argue that people are not born righteous and need dogma to act appropriately
