Well as a matter of verified scientific fact, the last galactic alignment took place 26 thousand years ago, and it is affirmed to be a time when over 80% of existing species went extinct, or dissappeared from the Fossil Record. . . the galactic alignment has been affirmed to occur every 26, 000 years - thus the next alignment is in 2012.

It is thus not implausible that thet earth may experience major gravitational changes in that year based on the galactic alignment and that this could have significant consequences for humanity. . .

And let us remember that this shown and explained above already -

← ← ← ← ← ← ← ← ← ← ← ← ← ← ← ← ← ← ← [INFINITY] → → → → → → → → → → → → → → → → → → →

Is ONE infinity only . . .

Relax. . .

Before we get to the explanation in prose form, let us note the factor or logic, which is the other attribute i said i would introduce.

This -

← ← ← ← ← ← ← ← Infinity  ← 0 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 [INFINITY]1  2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 → Infinity → → → → → → → →

- With the progressive expansion indicated in it demostrates -

 Premise 1 - Progression, Numerics and Mathematics

 Premise 2 - Infinitely continuing order or sequences

Second Initial Conclusion: The source (zero/infinity) posesses an infinite sequential layout.

Ordered Sequences connote compound intelligence embedded in the infinity. . .

Let me slow down at this point. Let us dwell on that which is deduced so far from the codes. . .

Deep Sight:
← ← ← ← ← ← ← ← ← ← ← ← ← ← ← ← ← ← ← [INFINITY] → → → → → → → → → → → → → → → → → → →

Thus the source is infinite (or eternal) and its manifestations (expansions) are infinite as well.
I am going to adduce extensive explanations in prose: but for deductive purposes let us stop here and reflect on the last sentence in the quote above. There is hardly any need to add any other attribute to the source, other than that which is empirical: that it is eternal.

Neverthless we shall smuggle in only ONE more certain attribute, and leave the construct at that.

Still coming. . .
Christianity Etc › Re: The Oneness Of Infinity Explained. . . by DeepSight(op): 5:54pm On Jan 07, 2010
Thus the most accurate code should look like -

← ← ← ← ← ← ← ← Infinity  ← 0 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 [size=16pt][INFINITY][/size]1  2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 → Infinity → → → → → → → →

And with the obvious fact that infinity remains intrinsic to ZERO, just as surely as it spawns outwards towards and endless infinity as shown above -

THEN,  a complete and rounded understanding is -

   ← ← ← ← ← ← ← ← Infinity  ← 0 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 [size=16pt][INFINITY][/size]1  2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 → Infinity → → → → → → → →

Which pans out as -

← ← ← ← ← ← ← ←  ← ← ← ← ← ← ← ←  ← ← ←        [INFINITY]        → → → → → → → → → → → → → → → → → → →

Thus the source is infinite (or eternal) and its manifestations (expansions) are infinite as well.


Steady on. . .

Christianity Etc › Re: The Oneness Of Infinity Explained. . . by DeepSight(op): 5:49pm On Jan 07, 2010
Right. Where were we. . .?

Yes. Code Z.

Deep Sight:
Let us understand that Code Z in terms of abstract quantification supposes logically that the point from which all existent things commence is actually nothingness (Zero) - - -

← ← ← ← ← ← ← ← Infinity  ← 0 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 [ZERO][/b]1  2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 → Infinity → → → → → → → →

                                                                          ^
                                                                          ^
This supposes that the [b]source
of all things is - - - - -Zero, and therefore that God is nothingness, or put better: that God does not
Following from the above, and the inference that the source of all things is ZERO, the natural question to ask is – “What is zero? What does it represent?”

Let’s look at these premises –

   Premise 1: Zero is nothingness

   Premise 2: Nothingness, being EMPTY by definition, cannot be said to have a limit.

   Premise 3: Nothingness is therefore infinite.

   Premise 4: Infinity connotes Eternity

   Premise 5: Eternity connotes Time to infinity

   Premise 6: Time therefore exists as inseparable factor of Zero.

First step Conclusion:
Zero is in fact not really nothing: as it is imbued with time, infinity, and thus eternity.

We have come full circle. . . steady on. . .

JeSoul:
Deep to tha Sight smiley

you did not truly answer my question. How can I be irrational for making decisions based on my experiences though they may be different from yours?
Yes, Krayola is smart as a tac.
Oh yes, I am very aware.
I am also aware that more than 50% of marriages will end up in divorce. Will it prevent me from tying the knot? My point again is simply faith. I believe based on faith.
I saw the thread in which you wrestled this out with Nuclearboy I think. You both were using the same verses and giving different views of it. I'm sure you're aware that due to our subjective nature, so much of the scriptures are unfortunely lost in translation.
You cannot see the rationale and that is fine. Really it is. As for Buddha and his spiritual elephant, like I said to Krayola, it has little to do with me. So whether they are being rational or not is irrelevant to me and the world.

When Jesus preached it was simply a matter of believing it or not. The bible itself says a lot of its messages are foolishness to the world. So I'm not tustling with you over that. I'm simply saying, my life has taken a path and run into events that have led and caused me to believe the unbelievable. And I make no apologies for it.
I am happy you concede that it has nothing to do with rationality at all.

Do not evade on Buddhism; confess now; you regard that belief of the elephant as irrational - yes or no!
Politics › Where Is Nigeria's President? - By Todd Moss by DeepSight(op): 5:32pm On Jan 07, 2010
[size=16pt]Where is Nigeria's President?[/size]
President Umaru Yar-Adua was last known to have gone to Saudi Arabia for medical treatment. No word as to whether he is living or dead.

Wednesday, January 06, 2010 - By Todd Moss

Amid all the media frenzy around the Nigerian underwear bomber and how America should have stopped him before he tried to blow up a passenger plane on Christmas Day, a critical piece to the counter-terrorism puzzle seems to have been missed: where in the world is the Nigerian President?

Normally, after such a horrific incident, President Obama would be on the phone with his counterpart, discussing what went wrong and agreeing on ways to work better in the future to prevent such attacks. But this couldn’t happen because Nigeria’s President Umaru Yar’Adua left his country for medical treatment in Saudi Arabia on November 23rd and hasn’t been seen or heard from since.

Yes, you read that right: the whereabouts of the leader of Nigeria—America’s most important strategic ally in Africa, the fifth largest source of U.S. oil imports, and home to 150 million people—are unknown. It is also not clear if he is alive or dead.

The situation is so uncertain that Nigeria’s parliament is openly considering sending a delegation to Saudi Arabia to find out the truth. A major opposition party yesterday demanded, quite reasonably, some “proof of life”.

The mystery over Yar’Adua is so bizarre as to be comical—if the consequences weren’t so severe. His absence has exert the country into an immediate constitutional crisis. The President failed to delegate authority to his deputy before travelling, effectively leaving no one in charge. This 43-days-and-counting power vacuum is being swiftly filled by
an insular cabal bent on exploiting the situation for their own gain.

Complicating matters, the vice president—ironically named Goodluck Jonathan—is a Christian and an Ijaw, part of a minority group from the southern Niger Delta region and far from the power centers of the northern Muslim elites who expect one of their own to run the country. There is much speculation that insiders are scheming now of ways to keep Jonathan from ever assuming power. In an ominous sign, a new chief justice was quickly (and possibly illegally) sworn in last week.

These developments all put Nigeria’s future at great risk. A decade of constitutional democracy is threatened by the specter of mass violence and a possible military coup.

The failed terrorist attack by Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab on Northwest Flight 253 highlights that Nigeria’s power void is dangerous for the U.S. as well. The foundation of a counter-terrorism strategy is to build cooperative partnerships with friendly nations. This means sharing information and helping to build security capacity in places like Yemen, Afghanistan, and Nigeria.

But we cannot have a partnership if there is no one on the other end of the line. Nigeria cannot be a reliable ally if it is consumed by its own corruption and political machinations. In this way, Nigeria is rapidly becoming more like Somalia—a failed state with no real government to cooperate with—than a real partner.

What can the United States do? First, it should insist on an immediate public declaration of President Yar’Adua’s health and fitness to govern. If the President’s staff refuse to oblige, then the U.S. should encourage the national assembly to assert its constitutional responsibilities when it reconvenes on January 12.

Second, if, as seems likely, Yar’Adua is in fact incapacitated, the U.S. must demand that the constitution be followed and power transferred to the vice president. The long-term security of Nigeria depends on entrenching the rule of law and this must supersede any palace intrigue or political bargaining.

Third, it is clear that whatever the outcome over the next few weeks, Nigeria will remain on a knife’s edge until elections in 2011. Any hope for a more stable country hinges on a credible election next year. Yar’Adua came to power in a deeply flawed poll in April 2007 and almost no steps have since been taken to fix the broken system. The U.S. is in a
unique position to push for and help deliver a better election that would strengthen the authority and legitimacy of the next government.

Last, the U.S. can support Nigeria’s vibrant civil society that is clearly fed up and is increasingly demanding change.

The case of the missing Nigerian President is a wake up call to the United States about the vulnerability of many of our global partners. How we respond is not only crucial to the future of an important ally, but a critical test of our strategy for building partnerships in troubled places to combat the global ills of our time.

It comes into play in answering the question: what is the function of the brain? A tool for what. . .or who. . .?

Now that's the real point: It does not matter to you if your dogma or myth is rational or not: it only matters that you have been taught it, nothing more.

Answer me on Buddha - do you regard those who believe he was born via a spiritual elephant as rational?

^^^ The Soul is the being. It is the real entity.

The brain being a tool is what can be said to have a function in temporal terms.

THE soul cannot be spoken of as having a function in real terms. . . at best it can be said that it is the natural emanation of the energy of divinity and the self expression of the universal mind. . .

Looking at the numeric sequences above, let us term the first Sequence CODE A and the second Sequence CODE Z.

Let us understand that Code Z in terms of abstract quantification supposes logically that the point from which all existent things commence is actually nothingness (Zero) - - -

← ← ← ← ← ← ← ← Infinity  ← 0 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 [ZERO][/b]1  2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 → Infinity → → → → → → → →

                                                                          ^
This supposes that the [b]source
of all things is - - - - -Zero, and therefore that God is nothingness, or put better: that God does not exist. . .

Christianity Etc › The Oneness Of Infinity Explained. . . by DeepSight(op): 3:20pm On Jan 07, 2010
Ever since i used the term "Oneness of Infinity" to explain my apprehension of GOD on this forum, there have been zillions of snide remarks at every oppurtunity regarding the fact that the term is vague, empty, imprecise etc. . .

I would like to offer an explanation of this concept in its absoluteness and simplicity.

The abstract image of the term i had laid out was -


←← ← ← ← ← ← ← ← Infinity  ← 0 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 [size=16pt][ONE][/size] 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 → Infinity → → → → → → → → →

Which suggests that God exists. . . but -

Before starting out, let me be quick to accept the conundrum of the existence of God proffered by the more accurate -


← ← ← ← ← ← ← ← Infinity  ← 0 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 [size=16pt][ZERO][/size]1  2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 → Infinity → → → → → → → →

- Which suggests that God does not exist.

And so how do we move from nothing to something?

Sit back and relax. . .

Pastor AIO:
The subject in this case is not Me, but my Parasite status.

Can I exist as a parasite, or better still Can a Parasite Exist Without Someone To Parisite Off?
Did you miss what i said? - - -

Thus once the “information” loses its “enabling environment” – in this case the physical body – death occurs.

This very fact suggests that the information is no longer within the defective host, and lies outside of it, yes?

Now I ask you; is there any logical problem with an immaterial thing resting in an immaterial environment? Or put differently – an abstraction being part of abstractions?

It is my personal belief that the information being immaterial is naturally held within an immaterial environment: the world of forms: which some refer to as the spirit realm.

For me it is sufficient to state that the information being immaterial is therefore abstract and rests in abstraction.

Remember that Israel was symbolic for HIS PEOPLE in the same way as the church is symbolic for the bride of christ today, yes? ? ?

Ok o, Viaro . . . i accept the part about works being not only "miracles" per se. . .

But undeniably there is the inference in the text that they would perform greater miracles than he did. . .

Which we are yet to see. . .

No raising frrom the dead, etc. . .

Indeed whereas Jesus always went where help was needed, these guys shy away from hospitals, refugee camps and the like where their "holy-spirit-power" would have been put to good use. . .

Will a woman's presence on the pulpit "stain" the pulpit?

Again, i ask, why the discrimination?

Can you confidently tell me that blessed women of God in the Bible such as ESTHER or The blessed Mary, are not qualified to lead congregations EVEN WHEN THE MEN IN SUCH CONGREGATIONS MAY NOT BE AS SPIRITUALLY DEVELOPED AS THEM? ? ?

Why do you subscribe to chauvinism?

In today's world, women lead whole nations. . . women constantly break barriers. . .why cant a woman lead a group of men in prayer?

Are women less than human?

That will be ridiculuous, you know. Because Anglican Priests are openly gay and the Bishop Desmond Tutu supports gay rights.

So please do not make the inference that being religious necessarily means that one will be anti-gay rights.

What is so difficult in God almighty getting mary pregnant via immaculate conception? Even mordern science is capable of getting a virgin pregnant via IVF how much less God.
I have not stated that it is impossible.

The question is - is that what happened as a matter of fact, or is it an obvious myth?

Ditto by your reasoning - It is also possible for God to have caused a spiritual elephant to enter the side of the Buddha's mother and impregnate her, yes? Surely that is not beyond God, is it?

Excellent. Now - do you think that really happened?

Or is it not just another obvious myth?

If we reject the story about Buddha, why should we not reject this too?

Jesoul -

I THINK Krayola has already nailed away most of what i would have thought to say. . .

But a few thots -

  1. Are you aware that the concept of a virgin birth or birth without prior copulation was hugely popular in the ancient world, and all sorts of political and spiritual leaders were very often declared to be "sons of gods" not born via human copulation? These things were ascribed to them. . .

  2. The prophecy in Isaiah which supposedly predicts the virgin birth is mistranslated. The word translated as virgin therein is teh hebrew "alma" which means "young woman". . . the hebrew for "virgin" is actually "betulah" which is not used there! At all events that prophecy was an immediate one, which was fulfilled in the very next chapter in Isaiah!

  3. Note also that ALL young women in those days were socially referred to as virgins in expectation of the social standard or chastity required of them.

4. I thus cannot see the rationale behind believing that a person gets pregnant without prior copulation. . .

Some people say that an elephant entered the side of the Buddha's mother and impregnated her to give birth to him. . . do you believe that as well? Will you be justified in calling people who believe that "irrational?" Give me an honest answer to this question.


Myths, Jesoul?
