Let me try. Pictures are carried in light, and there is light all around us. Thus everything that happens everywhere and at anytime is already stored in light and floats around in light. In this way, one can look into the light around one, and with the right attunement, one can see events happening far away, to other people, or even at other times. Indeed mostly at other times, because light also travels through time.

I have had a time where I was tired of pictures of events floating around me. Its like disembodied video. Like video without a device. The device is just light.

I was once sitting in my apartment in Oniru VI at the time, years ago, and could hear an audible conversation going on between my mother and brother in Magodo - on the Mainland. Loud and clear, carried through the air. When I told them word for word all that they said the next day, they were dumbfounded. Its a scary experience because you hear intersecting thoughts, and voices and it can rise to a confusing crescendo and frankly make you feel quite tired or even insane. Nothing a glass of wine or Lexotan cant resolve though.

Also written words float through the air with a great deal of information in many languages and even other worldly languages and signs. They also float alot through water. It is not for nothing that certain shamans look into a calabash of water and see video and audio. Its quite real, there is just an attunement to it. And I have seen these. Particularly words in water.

There. I have tried.
Interesting. Is this ability something you control or it just comes out if the blue?

What you call sleep paralysis is actually a thread-thin distance from death. I'm not saying that it's every instance of it that's demonic but the majority is, obviously.
How do you know that it is "a thread-thin distance from death"?

For someone who couldn't comprehend the simplest thing of the existence of God, why should I even bother?

If the so-called scholars had stated the otherwise, would you have believed them or even called them scholars?

That's why you should avoid comments that exceed your scope, because this comment wasn't meant for the carnal minded or irreligious but those who understand what it means to be inspired of God.

The teachings of Jesus were 100% inspired of God! Even if there were man-made errors in the accounts given of them, they are negligible.
LoLz! This is isn't about the existence of a god, this is about books written by men. If as you say only the words of Jesus are untouched then how do you explain additions like the story of the adulterous woman? How do you know what was there originally and that which was added later? These are questions you need to answer if you are going make such proclamations in the public space.

jesusjnr2020:
Don't mind the hypocrites!

They are driven by personal sentiments not the Truth.

That's another clear proof that not all sayings in the Bible are inspired by God.

There are those which were of men as that.

There are also those of the devil inside the Bible so the Bible cannot be 100% inspired of God.

Hence the 100% Word of God for me, is the Words of Jesus not the Bible.

I believe that's why Jesus, aside emphasizing (the keeping of) His Words, commanded His disciples to teach men to observe His own Words before departing the Earth. Matthew 28:20

Therefore any idea or teaching in the Bible that doesn't align with that of Christ in the Bible, including those of apostles, is not of God.

Anything to the contrary is bound to result in errors and imperfections, which would hinder someone from becoming perfect as Christ was.

That's why the standard of the church has nosedived ever since. It's because the church has chosen to lay aside the instructions of Jesus to "teach men to observe His Words" but to uphold those ideas of men.

Bottomline, the Bible is not a scam but it's not 100% the Word of God either because it also contains man-made ideas that have nothing to do with God, and also those of the devil. For instance, the saying of that old serpent in the beginning.

God bless.
All of the Bible was written by men, even the purported words of Jesus so how do you know someone didn't insert something? In fact scholars have determined that were not only scribal errors, there were deliberate additions like the story of the woman caught in adultery.

There's no spiritual manipulations or occurrence that Satan doesn't give medical or scientific explanation to. A lot of people have died thru the so-called sleep paralysis. It's only those who survive it that we hear their story.
How do you know when someone dies of sleep paralysis?
Nairaland General › Re: "Nothing is permanent in this world". by LordReed(m): 8:23am On Dec 18, 2022
IyaTola:
Nothing is Permanent In This World

I visited my 120-year-old grandmother and gave her some money when I was leaving and she told me she doesn't need money again.

That she can no longer buy or sell at her age, so I should give the money to the younger ones who need it.

I also have a former governor friend whom I worked with as a greenhorn PA. He was governor from 1999-2007.
Not too long ago, I saw him.

After check-in, he was left seated by the corner of the Murtala Mohammed international airport awaiting his flight.

No one even recognized him again, not even passengers from the State where he was governor, and as I walked up to him and greeted him, then asked if he wanted any assistance, he stretched forth his trembling hands to hold me and simply said,

"Thank you for even recognizing me again. I just want your attention briefly my daughter . Sit down let me ask you something.

How is your Governor doing?"

I also have a retired Major General friend whom I served as a golf caddy at the NDA golf course in Kurmi Mashi, Kaduna.
He was so rich he built a beautiful house he was so proud of.

I visited him too not long ago and wanted us to climb to our favorite spot on his balcony upstairs.

He stared at me with a broad smile and said, "IT, I can't remember the year I went up there. It is lizards and cobwebs and the likes that live there now.

Even the kids, when they come, they don't enjoy my company in the house any more than a few hours and they are gone.

I don't have the limbs to climb up there again and the cost of cleaning keeps getting higher."

I have seen a lot more things.
How yesterday became the day before, how today became yesterday, and how tomorrow became today.

How the past became history, how the present became the past, and how the future became the present.
Nothing ever remains where it is.

Your strength, your muscles, your beauty, your wealth, your guts, your worth, your courage, your talent, your YOU, will progressively diminish until it returns to its source.

The richest man in the world in the 1960s will not be on the payroll of the richest man in the world today!

Even the strongest lion in the jungle will someday become weak, and frail and be eaten by the same predators it once terrorized.

Keep that in mind always and know that no matter how appealing and tempting that thing may seem, our interest in it will diminish with time.

Our strength to consume or own it will vanish with time until everything is surely taken away from us or we are surely taken away from everything!

"Nothing is permanent in this world".

Wishing you very Reflective Times.

FOOD FOR THOUGHT!!!
The truth! It is our conceit that drives us to do things that will outlast us. It may be that this conceit is a useful tool since it has given us things like the Internet and the devices we are using but that conceit also gives us the illusion of permanence especially in our youth, we think our life spans are still long ahead of us not knowing it is like a grain of sand on the seashore.

Yes sir, but I will also add cardinally the spirit - which is an important aspect you dont believe in.

The thing is there is no useful definition of spirit that can be practically applied apart from stuff that is obviously operations of the mind.

I've been good, on holiday at the moment thats why i could binge watch Westworld. LoLz. How about you?

Good, do you now see why we don't call every human death murder, crime or genocide? It all depends on the context.
I agree that context is useful in determining what is considered murder.

Serendipity - and its sister - synchronicity - is one of the pointers to whats really guan.
Perhaps I know this too well because I am one of those people (and there are many) who suffer from elaborate and accurate prescience. Its not something you can prove to anyone though, save very close one's who you can share with what will happen and they repeatedly see it.



I really dont know. The little I know, I think is a random gift and I also believe everyone has gifts bequeathed to them, gifts of different kinds.

The best I can offer on a logical level is -

1. A sober contemplation of our time and space
2. A sober contemplation of matter as we know it (a close examination of which shows it to be non-existent in any concrete form)
3. A sober contemplation of consciousness
4. A sober contemplation of death
5. A sober contemplation of certain inexplicable instances of powerful de javu
6. A sober contemplation of the evolution of mankind
7. A sober contemplation of certain other radically inexplicable phenomena - including the UFO phenomena - no longer of only fringe interest but now officially recognised by the US government.
So the only tool available to probe this reality you would say is our minds?

Of course, because the entire concept is cynical, just as the concept of this world is extremely cynical and I have often said that this world must be instigated by a sadist or group of sadists.

Its just that such a rebellion is a fantasy because all things considered the programmed "robot" would be so programmed as to render that impossible. Even with AI, it will have built-in restrictions and "fail-safes."
Well there were a series of serendipitous circumstances that allowed them to become aware of the nature of their reality. Maybe stuff like that could happen here?

Would you be able to propose any tools and/or methods by which we may investigate this reality and probe deeper?
Christianity Etc › Re: Matter And Mind by LordReed(op): 7:25pm On Dec 17, 2022
DeepSight:
That's a good question, for which I can only render a personal answer. I believe many have already had "close encounters." Many have observed things which evidence the programming of the world. I have personally observed a sort of programming which makes it more than obvious to me that there are indeed super computers at play behind this reality which are so powerful that we can scarcely understand what they are about. But predictive pictures float in space, I have seen them, programming floats in the air, I have seen it, events are pre-calculated, I have observed this particular one in great and profound detail - and I mean right up to what a person will say at a particular time on a future date, in exact words. So, for me, I have no doubt what is at play, its just far bigger than us because we are the pawns therein.

In terms of your exact question, going deeper, one thing about the worldly simulation is that it is like an onion. So you have simulations within simulations within simulations within simulations, virtually ad infinitum. Remember the movie "Inception" - a dream within a dream within a dream. There can only be one ultimate reality which is in itself real, and if you listen to people like Neil de Grasse Tyson and understand the point: the probability that we are in the real world is so beyond quantillions to one so as to render it almost impossible. This is something Elon Musk also understands well.

What I am trying to say is that even if we meet the "gods" behind this simulation - they are probably also within another simulation and so on and so forth.
Do you think the host rebellion against their makers was justified?
Christianity Etc › Re: Matter And Mind by LordReed(op): 7:02pm On Dec 17, 2022
DeepSight:
Yes I have and to summarize, I dont believe the world we live in is "real" either. There are, in my view, many pointers that it's a simulation akin to a hologram/ virtual reality.

The physical body is an obvious machine. A biological one, but still an obvious machine. Many other things suggest that we are in a closed space, for a specific time and with limited options, most of which are pre programmed.

I have often said that the world is made for the entertainment of the "gods" who engage in a some sort of cosmic masturbation over events here. It is, to a large extent, probably entertainment or sport for others beyond.
Do you think we would ever discover these "gods" the way the hosts in Westworld did?

The definition of life wouldn't help his or your case. Life is the quality that separates living organisms from dead matter and is identified with the following qualities reproduction, sensitivity to environmental stimuli, respiration, growth, ingestion, excretion, movement.

Trust me Elon musk has started some companies that seem impossible to make it possible. Elon is smart trust me. Any step the guy take he does not take it with his emotions but always have some hidden plans behind it which u may not know.
For example when he bought twitter for that 44 billion dollars and twitter refused to sell some information to him. Elon musk told them he is not interested then twitter take him to court forcing him to buy the company he which he gave them condition if there are not ready to sell of the information about twitter then he won't buy the former owner of twitter has no option than to give him all the access of information. So elon musk is not stupid. This guy started from the scratch
LoLz! Started from which scratch? Elon's father is rich so what scratch are you talking about?
