If an animal was to be kept in a very large cage , might it not realise it was captive.Similarly are we humans really free or just far away from the bars.

seems like some things in life are best left to the imagination.they dont need to be hashed and slashed,studied and dissected, categorized, and put on display for humans to ogle at (figuratively speaking).can you think of an example where science took the magic out of something?

Is love worth life?

LOVE is anterior to life,
Posterior to death,
Initial of creation, and
The exponent of breath.

-Emily Dickinson

I can swear on anyone including my mom that this has happened to me. This happened to me when I was in Sydney, Australia in 1995. I was working in a shop at the counter. A graceful looking Indian man with long hair and beard came directly to my counter and said, by looking at my forehead he can tell that I will become a big yogi. I was bit fascinated by that since I already was interested in becoming one. To convince me he did this. Looking at me he wrote something on a paper. He folded it and gave it to me and asked me to open this later. He then asked me to think of my favorite color, lucky number and a flower that I like. I thought of picking the wrong ones but finally decided to go for the correct ones. Once I opened it, I was surprised to see the exact matching answers. I have never revealed my personal details to anyone at any time. Atleast not when I was in Sydney. Is it possible the Guy was reading my mind? I still have no clue. Can you please explain this? No mocking.

Once Adam and Eve ate the fruit of the Tree in the Garden of Eden, they both gained a higher knowledge of everything around them. It was and is a human beings greatest asset. We have the power to learn and apply our knowledge to everything we do. It's what sets us apart from the plants and animals around us. Did God really want us to live like the plants and animals of this Earth? Stupid and uneducated? Before Adam and Eve ate the fruit, they were completely innocent. Unknowing of everything around them. And it wasn’t until after did we learn the difference between good and evil, and much more until future generation came about only to discover and invent many innovation and forces that our Earth contains. The Tree of Knowledge left in the Garden of Eden was forbidden right? Then did God want to live as animals?

Absolutely Nothing is impossible to imagine, and yet something simply always being without a beginning, without end,cause or creator seems utterly unimaginable. Yet that is what we must admit. Something has existed forever, and yet how can a universe or anything exist without a viewer? in addition if more than one thing has always existed, differentiated from one another , how can that be? It seems to me we must accept that and that is no harder than accepting a self existent being. In fact a self existent being versus non being has more explanantory power.

They were putting this show on tv about a girl that is sensitive to nature and can talk to trees. lol Whenever she talks to trees they would usually tell her about the history that they've lived through and everything is pretty accurate. Some russian scientist also studied tress that were traumatize because of a huge massacre that occured there. They say that they have emotions and if you treat them nicely or giving them some soothing music to listen to, they grow happy. lol I know, its soo weird. I just dont know what to think about it all.
