I was thinking, just don't use commas anymore, but good English wouldn't let me, specially considering my style of writing. It would just be more unreadable.

So, my comma obsession is going to remain as the thorn that it is in my writing, with any one who likes owning the right to call me up on it whenever I go comma mad.

I’m having an OBE EVA UPS DHL experience. I am floating above a porcelain throne.

What is the colour of the porcelain throne, I need to check something. And is it a subjective OBE EVA UPS DHL you are having, or an objective OBE EVA UPS DHL or "wholly" both, and why are you not having a NDE too?

Why do you say "whao" like you don't expect anything good to come out of woman in Rivers State?

Money constrains you from Rain Robotics while you dislike where you are. Sounds like a bird in hand or two far away in the bush and you don't have a catapult nor know how to to shoot at it and don't see Unizik as learning school for shooters.

Life gives you Unizik lemons. Smart people learn to make the best lemonade they can knowing it's just a step to owning a Rain Robotics factory.

Been watching dump on fox. They grilling him!

Pls Buda , after reading the novel, let me know your rating of that novel by Ken Follet.

I have " the pillars of the earth" , no time to finish reading it..
But , I like "Strong medicine" , one of his other works

I do not believe you asked buda to read a book for you and come tell you what I read. There's some peoples who do that, get someone else to read a book and tell them what's in it because they can't or don't have time to read the book themselves. The can'ts will be blessed regardless I think but the don'ts will get toothache and you pay tithes.

No, I have not read Strong Medecine nor do I think I'd find the time with Being and mission on my list.

Joe Biden won 81m votes. Holy cow the guy don't even know where he is. The other day he ended his speech with I quoye verbatim "God save the Queen"

You can't understand that 81m people can not stand dumps dishonesty and incompetence that they paid for with their lives.

You are one a different wave length.

Almost 30 years ago I read David Bohm's Creativity. At the time I wanted it to be part of my dna so I read it every year for the next five to cement it into my unconsciousness. I have ordered his Wholeness and the Implicate Order to subject my subjective consciousness and my subjective subconsciousness subjectively much higher.

The North seems to have 11 appointees, the South West has 9 appointees, and South East 1, and South-South 1. That is fairness and equity?

Open a thread to keep track please. Plenty more to come.

NDE is not wholly subjective....

Hear yourself, please. Does one drop little drop of subjectivity not deobjectify enough for you?

You are making me wonder if you know what the word means.

triplechoice:
Are you sure you read what I explained and the explanation I ask you to give to it based on your knowledge of how the human brain works ?

I m saying ,even though not unusual , current mind theory says it's not possible to have that kind of experience .

What makes it possible then. ?

Empathy, makes it possible.

The phrase "forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us" is to religiously cement it in humans. Below touches the surface, but it's been discovered to go a lot deeper than that.

Janosky:
Buda, have you read "Strong Medicine" by Ken Fillet?
It's a nice exposé on the multi-billion pharmaceutical industry.

Never heard of it. Read one by Arthur Hailey years ago though that sounds familiar.

Magnoliaa, I always read your writings with admiration and was not happy I could not say so and got attacked and since deprived myself from reading much of what you write and there you go do it again. Lol.

Tell me. Why do you hide away in your diaries?

Kobojunkie:
According to it's telling, the "road to damascus" experience had by Paul was not a subjective experience in any light given that those around him experienced at least a part of it.

The entire "road to damascus" experience which includes the impression it made on Paul's mind and it's aftermath is wholly subjective to Paul and was experienced by no one else, and what we have from him and those around him is their own subjective interpretation of what they claim they saw and is an example of the subjective experience so anyone who has the same or similar subjective experience would know what they are having.

triplechoice:
Please don't mention you guessed it right each time . That's surely not possible .

Or coincidence. . No way .

What I describe above is a type of OBE that some persons experience all the time ,but won't open up to discuss it with others except you have some special relationship with them ..

I so love how the unconscious and consciousness works. When I was much younger my mama will have headache and my head will be hurting. She broke her leg in Lagos and I was limping in Ibadan, and God help me when she was pregnant 5 times. That's special relationships for you.

Triple, It is not unusual to know the cooking or perfume worn by one one has "some special relationship with".

triplechoice:
Consciousness is not wholly subjective . It's made up of both the subjective and objective parts . Not much is known about the former since it has not been localised to any part of the brain ,and it's why there have been lots of speculations about it's origin .

Triple, a person's consciousness, as in what a person is aware of and notices, is very wholly subjective to that person. What they are aware or conscious of is what the subject unconsciously or consciously chooses to be conscious or aware of, and they approach it with their own subjective ability to be conscious or aware of things, and their subjective ability to present their subjective consciousness for the consideration of subjective others. Can you see how subjective it is?

Let me go a step further. Even your own consciousness is very subjective to yourself and there's mostly no objectivity in it whatsoever. You are not even conscious of all that your mind is conscious of, and you can not know what a person is conscious of unless they tell you or you brainwashed them or you read minds.

triplechoice:
My own experiences ,some of it ,which I promise to share later will not make me accept that my brain is the cause . I'm not the only one in this kind of situation .

First, see how you've had almost a month of deriding someone else's subjective naration of their own subjective nde and obe and it turns out you have your own subjective experience that you promise to share but of course you can not accept that your subjective brain is the cause and must find some other cause not subject to you that you can subjectively claim is objective. Except we'd say, "show us if you dared".

That the rest? Beneath the level of things I consciously choose to consider.

The evils of liberal ideas. They want to push an agenda that a male can be a female over some whimsical nonsense.
I know you don't like me and the feeling is mutual.
For once we can agree, and I have promoted this saying. There are only two sexes. XY and XX. Gender construct is pure utter BS.

The gal was misled to believe she has a syndrome which is gender dysphoria. Pure utter Bullshit.

I don't dislike you basilico, I just dislike the fact that you often reason wrong. In fact, I watched Waco the other day how the FBI fuqed up killed lots of children, then watched a documentary, FBI perspective, and felt sympathy for your view until I reflected 2 wrongs do not a right make and Koresh false equivalence don't exonerate him.

If buda ruled the parents would be locked up and social service take the child, but we don't live in that sort of world, especially not America where bellies are full. Imagine some African child in some village claiming their gender was different to the one they born in. If it's a girl I guess we might laugh, but the boy we'll definitely ask to pull down his trousers let us see for ourself and god help if we don't take a cutlass to cut off his diq.

I once told Ben that this was an ongoing conversation and experience will best teacher, and now it's nearing its logical conclusion, least by the next election.

@budaatuum. I was quoting the bubble world liberals are lives in. They appreciate a DEI world where everyone is equal. Religion is pacifist The liberals cry discrimination against Muslims.
The Muslims have other ideas besides hating Trump.
They want no LBGTA++ flags flown on a town council property.
Can't have your cake and eat it too

I have no fear of Muslims nor dump for that matter. It's democracy. And buda is not the one that will suffer the most if most are so stupid to vote Sharia.

It's not my cake that is being eaten, see. And people aren't mostly that stupid.

I can't believe I did not read one single book since I posted this.

Nobody within the scientific community thinks it's ever possible for consciousness to separate from the human body.

But this study does not show nor indicate that consciousness separates from the body, nor do I think it even attempts to.

Consciousness is subjective in that it belongs to a subject whom it belongs to. It is not something we share. I have my subjective consciousness and you have your subjective consciousness, and thankfully we have words with which we convey the subjective consciousness of our experiences and understandings and knowledge to one another.

So how do you separate subjective consciousness from the subjects body? That's not to say it's not possible. In fact, we in a sense already do when we record media and write out the products of our consciousness in books though we don't mind read the read yet.

Possible? Anything is possible till it's not.

triplechoice:
But Budatum is still posting his own theoretical understanding of NDE from another thread , without realising he is very far from it.

First, you have disparaged me by misspelling my name.

Second, buda has not posted "his own theoretical understanding of NDE". What buda has posted are the subjective reports so many many years after the fact of the subjective experiences that buda had that buda subjectively understands as buda's subjective NDE and OBE.

NDE and OBE are after all subjective experiences, as in, experiences had by specific subjects who claim to have had them so I don't understand why some other needs to tell me what my subjective experience is and nor do I expect my subjective experience to be objectively accepted by anyone. It's not as if I could provide you with any evidence except my say so 50 years after the experience since its a subjective personal experience with meaning and implications for the person who had it just as the atheist you describe above was experiencing a personal subjective Road to Damascus encounter with Jesus as opposed to the Jesus most think might be Jesus.

An atheist or anyone else who has denied Jesus while on earth is not expected to deserve such response from him , but the narrator was saved despite the kind of life he lived.....

Who expects this deserve, Triple? I seriously think we need to ask ourselves what Jesus would do instead of imposing our own subjective expectations on others' subjective experiences. Those who read Jesus know he paid the same wages regardless of work start time and not for "church and pray" but for love one another and feed the poor and live etc. etc. etc. Besides, can you imagine how many times a Jesus called God would have to forgive if mere mortal buda has to forgive like 70 times 70 times? I could falsely accuse Jesus and mock Jesus and stone Jesus and spit on Jesus and poison Jesus and stab Jesus and nail Jesus to a cross and the bloody Jesus will say, "Forgive buda. They are ignorant".

Though buda is an atheist, that Jesus Christ is Lord!

Thing with the comma is that's how it's to be read and it's usually the correct English, another confessionable thing of mine along with making up words.

Take:

1. Must be a brain thing my Lord. A and S are so close!

And compare to:

2. Must be a brain thing, my Lord. A and S are so close!

I feel the full meaning wouldn't be gotten without the comma if you weren't used to it because I haven't said when to pause.

LordReed:
Mine is the S key on all my keyboards gets wiped out.

Must be a brain thing my Lord. A and S are so close!

I think I'll get a desktop next. Always wanted to build one myself.

It does not seem to bother you that a child is cheated to transition.
Some theatres have refused to screen a documentary of five people who want to detransition.
Another girl is suing a hospital for removing her breasts at age 13. .After a 75 minutes session they decided to turn the girl into boy. If that's not Satanic then I need a better definition of Satanism.

https://redstate.com/bobhoge/2023/06/18/doctors-mutilated-her-breasts-when-she-was-just-13-now-shes-suing-n763601

Apparently carrying an assault weapon is worse than transitioning teenagers or puberty blocking them.

Dude, please just think for one moment.

If a child goes to its parents and goes to a doctor and they all agree to chop it's tits off, shouldn't the doctor be sued?

I think the doctor should be sued. That's why they are mandated to carry insurance. And I think the damages against any doctor found to be negligent should be 10-100 million dollars. That will teach doctors to not negligently chop tits off children.

Huh. Liberals very happy after Michigan city voted in Muslim majority city council.

Now the city council has rejected flying LBHTQ Pride flags on city property.
Liberals see this as betrayal.

https://www.zerohedge.com/political/liberals-voice-sense-betrayal-after-muslim-ruled-mi-city-bans-pride-flags.

This signals a new avenue for the Christian Far Right. Just turn churches to mosques and own the libs in Allah's name if we can't in Christ's.

I want every Nigerian to be mandated to have read the Bible and the Qur'an from the beginning to the end and not like you read it in church so this is a welcome beginning.

Really! Bugger. I broke the A on my laptop.

My Unhealthy Comma Obsession. I agonise where to put them. I spoke to Christ about it and I am curing. Amen.

As for the buda view, which I seem to have lazily left out, Glory be to Mary who could obviously read and must have put breast in her Son's mouth.
