Great video, funny in parts I truly believe we are not our bodies, we are the spirit within. Watch this video and tell me if you agree or disagree! And why? Peace

If you believe you are not your body you are mistaken. Kill the body and see. No more posting at the shroomery about us not being our bodies.

Do you have anything substantial to base this upon other than borrowed ideas?

Im not trying to prove anything. Watch the video, you'll either think theres truth there or not. Whatever.
One of main sources for what to me is truth or some what truthish is near death experiences, i love reading those. Peace

You DO understand this is a discussion/debate forum?
Make a point and substantiate it or at least attempt to. Telling us to watch a video is not discussion.

Care to elucidate? Yes, it is true some people have near-death experiences. What that tells us about a dead human is... NOTHING!

I will gladly discuss any topic, but the manner i was replied in suggested rudeness. I feel no need to prove anything to anyone that holds there beliefs so tight they must lash out at someone with opposing views.
Have you read many NDEs? Personally i see in them assurance of the continuance of life after the bodies death. People see the beautiful beings of light, waiting to welcome them home.
Ive heard all the arguments about NDEs being produced by the brain in various ways. And that just doesn't feel true to me. But to each their own. Peace

People also see demons and hell.
Read my (DO A SEARCH) last thread on famed NDEr Dannion Brinkley and how all of his predictions failed. Seems those beings of light were just fucking with him or he was deluding himself.

To say something "doesn't feel true to me" in this forum is like saying nothing at all. Do you want to debate your ideas and beliefs or not? If so don't be upset if someone disputes your lack of evidence and preporation.

I was not referring to you Orgone in reference to the rudeness. Your questioning is welcomed, although my ability to answer is limited. I do not do well with these awkward words and languages. One thing im very interested in is OBE which is a part of the suggestive evidence also associated with NDE. While some say quantum physics allows ways for this type of behavior without non corporeal awareness to be necessary, again it just doesn't Feel right to me. Sure my feelings may not be 100% or even close but i have a sort of evolving mental picture which is based on the total of my knowledge and experience. Its hard to shorten it down into some satisfactory answer to your questions. Peace

Icelander perhaps i should back up a bit. I do not wish to offend you. Its very hard for me to understand intention and meaning in others written words at times. So you may have intended no rudeness. So either way i apologize. Peace

I am referring to a particle being able to exist in more than one place at a time. In other words they say some purely physical method allows OBE to occur.

What is your education regarding quantum physics? Using my psychic prowess, I would say it approaches zero and once again you are merely borrowing nonsense that you read or watched.

Thanks for confirming my suspicion.
There is a giant chasm between understanding and parroting. Try to grasp that.

Your still not being very helpful, but maybe thats just not your style.
I don't mind being wrong, my truth is an evolving thing, not set in stone. I try not to attach my ego to what i think is true or not true. So please where I'm wrong correct me.
A simple "You are wrong and are just saying what you've heard or read" doesn't make for much of a discussion. Peace

Did you come about this false conclusion through study and inquiry and understanding or through regurgitation?
You make a ridiculous assertion and you want me to teach you college-level physics in one short easy post.
Sorry, SP. This is an adult forum. It is not in my job description to spoon-feed every single wild-eyed New Ager that shows up here.

We are talking about one specific thing in QM. If a particle cannot be in 2 places at once. I would think that fairly easy to explain, perhaps it is not.(Maybe i thinking the wrong thing anyway, maybe its a particle can instantaneously disappear from one place and appear in another? would that work in QM? I admit to not being an expert, as you have noticed lol)(a yes or no answer will suffice*if you answer at all*)
I do research this sort of stuff alot. But make no claims of being expert at anything. To be honest the more i search the more questions i have. I feel like one of those wierd shrews with the huge 22 tentacled noses that gets images from feeling its nearby enviroment. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star-nosed_Mole Peace

Google is your friend. There are many fine tutorials of all levels on physics and almost all are free.
But more importantly, before we can discuss the mechanism of a phenomenon, it must first be validated. OBEs have never been demonstrated to be more than an internal mind-state.

I do not mean to offend but you accuse me of parroting and then suggest i go off to learn something from another external source. Where did you learn QM? College? Is not anything you say on the matter parroting your college teachers, where has your original thought come into play in regards to your QM knowledge. Did you yourself test any of these theories to test there veracity. If not maybe you should step off that high horse. Uggh, i have alot of internal work to do still i can tell lol. peace

True that there are many levels of validation and one human will not live long enough to recreate the work of every man that has come before.
At the other extreme is accepting anything anyone tells you.
There is a middle ground wherein you can used accepted and tested paradigms to be logically applied against new claims. Sometimes such testing is not necessary as is obvious when an author talks nonsense about things not in his/her venue of expertise such as in the movie, 'What the Bleep Do We Know?' or the book, The Secret'.
