Dales has it absolutely correct on this. Maya is the Illusion of "Reality". And I don't have the time right now to give you daft bastards and hold your hand to walk you through the concept. However, Mystics have been saying this for centuries. Mystics have been purported to actually have altered matter. Deal with it. And my personal research, which is extensive, and looking into Quantum Physics, bears this premise out .... MEANING that what we perceived as "Reality" is actually our personal interaction with the vibration of Sub Atomic particles... ahhh fuck it.


This has gone beyond Random.

Okay, so if reality is an illusion, does that me that I didn't "really" lose 15 seconds of my life reading that?

Wow, that's a relief...

Most people alter matter every day.

It helps if you eat a lot of fiber.

When Alexandra David-Neel journeyed through Tibet, one of the many mystical techniques she studied was that of tulpa creation. A tulpa, according to traditional Tibetan doctrines, is an entity created by an act of imagination, rather like the fictional characters of a novelist, except that tulpas are not written down. David-Neel became so interested in the concept that she decided to try to create one.

The method involved was essentially intense concentration and visualization. David-Neel's tulpa began its existence as a plump, benign little monk, similar to Friar Tuck. It was at first entirely subjective, but gradually, with practice, she was able to visualize the tulpa out there, like an imaginary ghost flitting about the real world.

In time the vision grew in clarity and substance until it was indistinguishable from physical reality-a sort of self-induced hallucination. But the day came when the hallucination slipped from her conscious control. She discovered that the monk would appear from time to time when she had not willed it. Furthermore her friendly little figure was slimming down and taking on a distinctly sinister aspect.

Eventually her companions, who where unaware of the mental disciplines she was practicing, began to ask about the "stranger" who had turned up in their camp-a clear indication that a creature which was no more that solidified imagination had definite objective reality.

At this point, David-Neel decided things had gone too far and applied different lamaist techniques to reabsorb the creature into her own mind. The tulpa proved very unwillling to face destruction in this way so that the process took several weeks and left its creator exhausted.

Mr. Meade, that seems mighty intolerant of a person of your integrity and background as solid and God fearing man.

First, you fall back. Not only upon the tiredness of the troops and your lack of sleep; now I find your lack of Faith especially distressing. Faith, my good sir is the belief in things unknown.
O
You are wavering on the brink sir, of Unbelief of things unexpected and Unnecessarily explained by scientific method.

God, cannot be Placed within our mortal concept of what is and is not "Reality." And you would do well to remember this.

The Truth of the matter is that we have yet to find the Truth in all matters.

Peace,

Your Esteemed colleague and confidant,

Frightening how much she looked like my first wife.... she also believed in things that were unseen and untrue.

There's a herbal remedy advertized on late night SABC here - it makes a guarantee, a guarantee mind you, that if you have a common cold (not 'flu) and you take their remedy, you WILL start to feel better after three days.

I'm ready to take internet orders from you sickies out there.....

[Lord Jim]

I can go you one better Gen'l...

I've got a miracle pill, that is GUARANTEED to cause weight loss...

Just take one of these babies every day, along with a simple 1000 calorie a day diet and exercise regimen, and the pounds just melt away....

Ordinarily, I sell these pills for $100 for a forty capsule bottle, but as you're a friend, I'm willing to let you have them for the low low price of just $45 per bottle.

(They'll come in a bottle that says "Walgreens Asprin" on the label to throw off the customs authorities.)

[Timster]

Tis a well known fact that if one took every cold medicine known to man that you're cold will disappear in 6 to 7 days. If you let it run its course it will go away in about a week ....
