Happy belated birthday Setaje! My attention was drawn to it now. Wishing you long life with better health & real strength, courage & knowledge to face & overcome the challenges that manifest as you go through life. I join those who thank you for those informative shares, to express my gratitude. |
Setaje:@Setaje, You're allowing yourself to be held down by anger. Now, come to look at it from another perspective : Has it ever occurred to you that some of these bitter feelings of hostility that we habitually experience may be connected to some incidences that actually took place between us & others, in the distant past? We have to learn to rise above the area of hostility & anger to enable us work off whatever karmic burden that is existing between us & others. The more we harbour persistent resentment towards someone, the more we tie & bind ourselves with the life of that person, through our feeling. Through your hatred, you're, unknowingly, creating & attracting the circumstances that would bring you in the centre of activity & force you to live with the very people whom you're seeking to free yourself from. Remember that hatred & (conditional) love are opposite sides of the same coin. We create "karma" not only through action alone, but also through our thoughts (i.e. feeling & thinking). That is why it is extremely important for us to discipline ourselves to be careful about how we feel & think about others. There's a thread of destiny woven between us & our family, relatives, people around us & those we relate with. It is because we have common karma to resolve, that is why we were born within a particular family, within a particular tribe. We are free to choose to work off whatever karmic burden that is existing between us & others, in this lifetime, or choose to postpone it & continue to come together in subsequent lifetimes, in the future, until we learn, in even harder ways, how to resolve the differences that has accumulated & compounded through many lifetimes of associating with each other. Either, we take responsibility & discipline ourselves, or we allow ourselves to be disciplined by passing through the rigorous disciplinary regimen of living. Either way, we would eventually learn to be disciplined. If you were to "raise" your consciousness & see the larger picture, through the "Akashic Records", the many rounds of lives you've lived, here on earth & elsewhere, as a male; what role you played & how you affected the lives of some of those Itsekiris, for good or bad; how some of them (whom you're now hating bitterly) sacrificed & laid down their lives for you, you'll understand how everything fit in. People come to learn, through hardships, in some lifetimes just as they also come to learn, through effortless effort, in other lifetimes. People come to learn, as males, in some lifetimes, just as they also come to learn, as females, in other lifetimes. We all pass through cycles of activity & less activity (what some of us term as "laziness" ; the "valleys" & the "hills" of life; the "Ying" & the "Yang". We learn from both |
Happy birthday! |
"After years of thoughts, study & contemplation, I have come to the conclusion that there is only one thing in the universe & that is energy -- beyond that there is supreme intelligence " -- Albert Einstein. "The most beautiful & most profound experience is the sensation of the mystical. It is the sower of all true science. He to whom this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer wonder & stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead. To know that what is impenetrable to us really exists, manifesting itself as the highest wisdom & the most radiant beauty which our dull faculties can comprehend only in their primitive forms - this knowledge, this feeling is at the center of true religiousness." - THE MERGING OF SPIRIT AND SCIENCE by Albert Einstein. "The religion of the future will be a cosmic religion. It should transcend personal God & avoid dogma & theology, covering both the natural & the spiritual . It should be based on a religious sense arising from the experience of all things natural and spiritual as a meaningful unity. Buddhism answers this description. If there is any religion that could cope with modern scientific needs, it would be Buddhism." -- Albert Einstein. |
benodic:Thanks bro benodic for providing an answer to my question to Setaje. To add to that : Most of the issues that we are currently struggling with, are due to the "strong" karmic ties & bonds we've made with others, in the past, as well as our "postulates" which have now "concretized" or "solidified". Things move in cycles. When a concretized cycle of lifetime is not completed, & an individual willfully, abruptly, leaves the scene, he or she must necessarily come back to complete it, whether he/she will have to stay for only a day, or month, or year, or more. There may be powerful, hidden karmic ties & bonds at work, influencing & holding the " concretized cycle " in place, such that a prayer "thought form" of most of us might not be powerful enough to influence it. For those few trained ones who can influence it, they also have the ability to perceive the "greater plan" & the implication their action will have on others whose lives are intricately woven into theirs, so they just allow the cycle to complete itself. Many who try to uplift the lives of unconsenting people suffer this fate. cc : Setaje. |
MzNelly:It also implies that : Either you haven't learnt how to pray effectively in a way that will yield you result. Or your prayer must be wrongly directed. |
Setaje:I'll appreciate if you'll kindly shed some light on what you mean by the principle of reincarnation, & how it relates to this incidence. |
"Over the past thirty years, I've consulted with thousands of people with gum disease.

Oahray: Teempakguy:@ Teempakguy. Good point! Matter is known to occur in four states, namely, solid, liquid, gaseous and physical plasma. The physical plasma state is when atoms dissolve by increasingly losing their electrons, leaving behind electrically charged particles; as is the case when hydrogen melts into helium in the hydrogen bomb. When the transition of matter from gaseous to plasma state is achieved with high temperature, it is known as "hot plasma". Likewise, when it occurs at low temperature, it is known as " cold plasma". It may interest you to know, that for a number of years, Russian Scientists have been doing research on cold plasma in living organisms. The Scientists call it biological plasma or bioplasma. This should not be confused with blood plasma or plasma cells, in medicine. They are entirely different. Dr. Victor Inyushin, has done extensive research on turbulent cold plasma and has made some publications on the subject. Also, Dr. Genady Sergeyev has done some research on the subject. This shows that with more knowledge & advanced technology, it's plausible. |
Blakjewelry:Yes, some Scientists believe that our gravity is a weak signal leaking out from another parallel universe into ours. Vibrations are known to have secondary overtones. According to the hyperspace theory, a parallel universe consists of membraneous bubble floating in an ocean of other bubbles which ripple and wobble. Time, itself, may have whirlpools. Findings in Quantum Physics & Cosmology have shed more light on how the mind interact with matter. The implication? That you & I may be existing here & some of the other universes, simultaneously; perhaps in a slightly different form. ![]() We are only aware of this one because of our dull faculties which could not perceive subtle, fine, vibrations that are co-existing with us. |
Blakjewelry:@ dabosuker. To add to that: As Blakjewelry rightly stated, it's not a particle that travels faster than the speed of light. Rather it's the "entanglement phenomena" that is happening faster than the speed of light. In other words, two particles, separated by, say, a million miles, "know instantaneously" what affects each other, as a result of which each will change itself accordingly. In the Double Slit Experiment, Scientists found that if a particle "thinks" that it is being monitored, it refuses to behave as wave & remains as a particle, whereas if it's not being monitored, it happily behaves like a wave & goes through two slits at the same time, suggesting that it has a ghost in another universe. In other words, a single particle is demonstrated to be in multiple locations simultaneously. In the Delayed Choice Experiment, the particles appeared as blobs of light or interference pattern, depending on whether the monitor is switched on or off. This means that the particle already "knows" what mode the monitor will be in before it passes through the Slit. Many people tend to think in terms of traveling long distances in interstellar space at a speed beyond the that of light. Since Time is like a river, which bends & flows around the universe & may also fork into two rivers, we may not need to travel long distances with a speed beyond the speed of light, after all. What we need is to develop a far advanced technology capable of producing the Planck energy that could cause us to "shift" (disappear) into another "bubble" (dimension) then reappear intact in any part of the universe. |
Blakjewelry:You have to figure out a way of getting it across to where you want it to be - it's all part of the total package of the discovery when you're here. |
Blakjewelry: Teempakguy:It's more of intuition. First comes the intuitive idea. Next, the Scientist looks around for the appropriate mathematical tool, among the existing ones, with which to express it. In the absence of any suitable mathematics to express it, the Scientist creates one, if he or she is capable of doing so. Otherwise, he or she will have to wait until such a time that someone comes up with one. Intuition is an indispensable factor in the quest for advancing the frontiers of Theoretical Physics & other disciplines. We can see this at work in the lives of Archimedes, Newton, Einstein, etc., etc. Here's what Einstein said : "The supreme task of the Physicist is to arrive at those universal elementary laws from which the cosmos can be built up by pure deduction. There is no logical path to these laws; only intuition , resting on sympathetic understanding of experience, can reach them." BTW, Newton was in a farm when he experienced his flash of intuition, do you people have to be in another continent to experience yours? ![]() |
LordReed:Pardon me, what does the bolded imply, with all honesty? BTW, was the virgin Mary, the mother of the Christ, not referred to, in the Bible, also as being married to Joseph? Not to mention the Christ having brothers ( Matthew 12:46 ) ![]() Also, check the following: Nairaland Forum: Religion/Re:There Are Many Other Virgin Births Besides Jesus ( https://www.nairaland.com/193520/there-many-other-virgin-births ) Similarities Between Two God-Men Saviors: Jesus & Krishna.

django1:Because we, humans on earth, have "chosen" to develop mostly along the line of technological pursuit, many of us tend to think that we are the only intelligent entities on earth. I've not heard of any scientific research that "proves or disproves" that ants exhibit emotional states. However, there are impressive scientific findings indicating that cetaceans, notably, Whales & Dolphins, do, indeed, exhibit emotional states. Most people regard animals as dumb because they cannot "talk". Even among humans, I have noticed that people often consider a person who cannot express himself well in the language that they understand, as being dumb (mumu). Human beings rely heavily upon words/language as means of communication with each other. We also depend upon our technological gadgets to convey our messages to & from our recipient. In contrast, animals, generally, communicate through telepathy, which is by far a superior & richer means of expressing thoughts & feelings. Majority of humans, in our present state, are woefully incapable of communicating effectively through telepathy with each other. According to John Lilly, a biophysicist, the brains of Dolphins are more developed in some areas, particularly the acoustic cortex, than ours. They can communicate with each other by sound at rates of up to ten times faster than the fastest possible human speech. Research has shown that Dolphins can convey & receive twenty times the amount of information as we, humans, can, with our hearing. Furthermore, they can understand complex problems & solve them. They are able to recognize themselves in a mirror.............. ![]() |
django1:Some years back, our great grandfathers would have considered the idea of humans landing on the moon or Mars, as closer to fiction than reality. Now, remember that there are seventy (70) Octaves of vibrations, known to Science, at the moment. Humans can perceive only Octaves 5 - 16, which are within the range of sounds audible to us, & Octave 49, which is visible light. The whole of the rest of the enormous amount of vibrations is, literally, closed to our 5 senses. Have you considered the implications of this everyday fact? We all know that there are wave-lengths used for transmission of television and wireless programs; so that voices, sounds & sights are permeating our vibratory life, though we can only perceive them by our technological instruments. It is known to Science that the number of vibration per second is not only what makes "matter', but it is the basis of the difference between one kind of matter & another. Is it then difficult to understand that matter of much greater vibration than we know of, can be existing with us & moving through us, even though our 5 senses couldn't perceive it? According to a Canadian Scientist, J. Bigu, the human body emits a small amount of nuclear radiation of gamma & beta of non--thermal origin. When it decays to a more stable form, it emits either beta particles or gamma rays, giving humans a gamma ray aura, which is invisible to the "unawakened". Thus part of us exists in the gamma spectrum ( i. e. Octave 65 ), even though most of us are not conscious of it. |
Dollyak:At the moment, the sun is in a main sequence phase, having started off as Solar Nebula, then later into Protostar phase. Initially, the heat of the sun was generated by thermal energy. Now, in the main sequence phase, its heat is generated by the fusion of hydrogen into helium. The sun is now in a, comparatively, cool & steady state. By 500 million to one billion years from now, the sun will begin to get hotter, to the extent that there would be no liquid water on earth. In about 2.8 million years from now, the sun will be too hot for earthly life, as we know it today, to survive. By about 5 billion years from now, the sun will have run out of hydrogen which is used in fusing with helium. At that stage, the sun will move from main sequence phase to Red Giant. It will continue to generate heat by turning the helium in its core into carbon, until all the helium have turned into carbon. At which stage it will become a White Dwarf, while the carbon will eventually form a matrix of Hot Diamond....... |
semitunde:Chances are that we may not even be in a position to identify some "intelligences" due to our limited perceptions. Here on earth, we have microorganisms that live in volcanic lava, in a carbon environment, i.e. Archae bacteria. A silicon based life, for instance, should not come as a surprise. |
Norajones:Many people have the erroneous notion that "heaven" is up there, somewhere in the far far distance of the sky. It's not a physical place up there where one crosses over to when one dies. When one dies, he/she sheds the physical body & continue to operate on another wave-length, in accordance with what he/she believes & accepts to be true. Some people who die sudden death while having strong attachment to something in the physical world, do not even realize they are dead, in spite of the fact that their physical body has been devastated.. They continue to hang around in their etheric body.......... One can help such a person to move on, if one knows how to. ![]() |
