Yeah, like that would work. That would require an uncorrupted judicial system that has some massive balls.

@Xienkula There might be a portion of belief in oneself in all spiritual practices. The movie demonstrated the power of the mind and of belief.

Got a free 7 day promo subscription for World of Warcraft and thought I'd do some pet battles and collect a few.

OK, this is not new, but I'd like to make some comment on this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Han_shot_first Not really a controversy I'd say since Lucas contradicts himself - quite pathetic actually. A good use of the DVD feature of alternate versions you can access. Why not continue this on the BluRay?! Anyway, and this is probably just another piece of evidence that Lucas is talking bullshit: Did it bother anyone else that Han shot first at Vader? In the cloud city, when the door opened, Han saw Vader and immediately fired his gun. Vader deflected the shots and took Han's gun, but had Vader not reacted that quickly, Han would have killed him right there without any dramatic prelude. This might be just a common movie tool where something horrible is considered alright simply because it ended up not happening, as if the motivation/intention doesn't count at all, but compare the two situations: Vader - OK, I don't have to elaborate on him being a prime villain and what he did, but he's not a permanent cold-blodded murder machine that needs to be stopped in his tracks - he's an elaborate villain character. So Han shooting at him doesn't count that clearly as self-defense, although personally I'd probably have done the same. Now Han shooting at Greedo: Remember that Han expressed to Greedo that he would not be taken to Jabba alive, and Greedo's reply made clear thad he would kill him. That was a climax of tension - Han could expect Greedo to kill him any moment, so him shooting first was no more morally questionable than him shooting at Vader. Also, Greddo's bountry-hunter character can be seen as in the same area of badness than Vader. Both have no problem leaving a trail of corpses - one does it for dominance, the other for money. Both stinks. The scene where Han shot at Vader was never altered. Poor George Lucas - This is what political correctness does to people.

I found it surprisingly boring.

Will watch it later. I just visited the main page on youtube and the featured video had Vader say: "We would he honored if you would join us." Ouch! How can they, the official Lucasarts Star Wars page, use such bad English in connection with a dramatic theme like that?!
-
I've seen that report, but it's borthering me that they don't provide a proper source, which is really bad journalism.

Already watched it a few hours ago. My comment is somewhere on the youtube page. P.S.: Best pony video of 2013 so far.

Jim Carrey - major spiritual experience or just adopting an idea?
Owledge posted a topic in The Rabbit Hole
Check out the first 6 minutes: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0EGc3Xl9Iqw Does anybody have information about what Carrey is referring to there? I have no clue outside of what's shown in the video, but I guess either he took some entheogens, or he just liked spiritual ideas. Also, I'm not sure whether he's just his usual funny and excited self or whether he acts like being filled with that special excitement after having had a revelation. -

From my understanding, this means that your mind is consciously aware of a fear issue that runs deeply into your emotions. You might have dealt with the part that the mind is able to resolve, but the deeply ingrained belief system is still there. Consider yourself lucky that you are aware of it. Should make it easier. Your mind can identify scary trip experiences as 'the lesson' and then you can try to give in. If your mind is clear, that is. If you can't think straight with your usual substances, maybe you really should try DMT. The trick is probably to make something sink in. Not to make sure you remember during a trip, but to condition your behavior. Dunno, all very confusing. -

Well, you can't associate bad trips with no more stuff to be taught. It's probably just the usual approach of processing mind crap. Why are you even afraid of skinless animals? They look funny and if they are angry at you, be nice to them. And if you don't do that spontaneously, then, alright, maybe you can't solve that issue currently, but it sounds like some fear to surpass. I'm just speculating now, but if scenes of cops dragging you away are coming up during a trip, then that's working in your unconscious. It could mean that in a crisis you will unconsciously act in a way that will bring about that kind of trouble for you. Practice the idea of not resisting arrest regardless of how unjustified it might seem to your mind. You know... they can't drag you away if you go voluntarily. That would break your unconscious fears. "You are under arrest!" - "Oh poliiice!" "You are under a-rest!" - "Cool. I can use some time to relax." -

Awesome quote: Timothy Leary: "LSD occasionally causes psychotic behavior in people who have not taken it." -
Almost no pitch modulation and no dubsteppy or electronica mess. Nice for a change.

I've know the first one. The second one - well, Michael Jackson cover, that's all. Had they ponified the lyrics, it would excite me.

Well, even if you 'accidentally leak' it, that would be evidence of the continuation of the development.

It's so sad that Hasbro didn't allow the fighting game. I wonder why. Gotta investigate. I mean, it's not like there's not a lot of other stuff that depicts the ponies in a less-than-intended context, and it's a non-profit fan project. Now Lauren Faust joined the team and they are making the game with four-legged non-pony characters, but that's just not the same. It's the deep character of the ponies, especially the mane 6, that made it so awesome. I hope Hasbro eventually reconsiders. FightingIsMagic is an awesome and fun way to connect bronies across the globe in e-sports activities.

Sounds a bit like Bender. Will check out videos later. EDIT: Video website is weird. Doesn't play on any of my browsers.

Pick any computer game you like, Chuck Norris can beat all levels ... simultaneously! He can also finish a level in the beginning and then play it backwards. Chuck's cat did this once and died eight times, thus ending up with nine lives.

It's special characters from the UTF charset that look like upside down latin characters. At least some of them. I could call it the by far most advanced and artful form of leet speak I've ever encountered.

Owledge replied to Owledge's topic in The Rabbit Hole
I just had a small epiphany, because I'm up and awake for longer than usual: Do you remember how it feels to be awake for so long that everything feels not just tiring, but uncomfortable? Where you feel that not only is your mind tired, but your body is in subtle unease? Everything feeling "meh" and "uagh"? That kind of burden that you then feel on your psyche, that's a bit like the unease I felt while ayahuasca did its thing with me. These words will probably not match what I just felt a minute earlier, but it makes perfect sense, because what I need in this state is sleep, and sleep means letting go of conscious being and allowing the dream world to regenerate and refresh me. Considering that DMT brings inner issues to the surface and that sleep deprivation leads to 'hallucinations', maybe the feeling of tired exhaustion I have right now is caused by those inner issues moving just a tiny bit closer to the surface - the burden becoming more tangible. EDIT: And when he says people report the place they visit feels familiar, I remembered that, too. It's like a constant state of d´jà vu. I saw places and things and felt things and were in a state too odd to be described with words, and I knew all that as if I had seen it before. For me it didn't feel like that the whole time, though, just certain parts I think. EDIT2: Eureka! Perfect analogy: A DMT vision is like a kōan! -

Really strange how triggers can bring back memory of how it felt. The animation in the very beginning (I wish I had a HD version) made me remember (superficially) how my trip felt. That bright, warm feeling and celebratory atmosphere, the clear shapes, the infinity stuff. I was just watching to that video again and I remembered that kind of end-of-line feeling, like in a busy world arriving at a hidden room where everything is silent and still. It's already fading away again, but it surprises me how easily I react to audiovisual triggers like that. -

Man! I think I got carrey'd away a bit there! EDIT: According to he doesn't take any drugs. Not sure how old that clip is. In other videos he just said the clichee line that he woke up one morning and suddenly he understood. -

@Flo Thanks, that keyword DMT clears it up. @WWROA Well, I kinda can relate to what Carrey said there, since I, too, had a profound experience - profound probably still an understatement. There are no word for something like that. I mean, at one point I was shown how religions like the whole Buddhism thing are just added flavor, a toy, something to make the show interesting and give beings something interesting to do. Deconstruction of the concept of profoundness itself. I remember some things I said, and I efinitely wasn't in delusion, but in enlightened clarity, having gotten the record set straight so to speak. That feeling faded after a while, probably because it caused my egoic mind too much trouble, because it couldn't immediately adapt fully. That's why I mentioned his excited and unburdened demeanor in that video. I recognized it from my own after-trip-state.
