I suggest y'all do a search on academic neurosurgeon Eben Alexander who wrote the book Proof of Heaven which describes the circumstances of his near death experience. In the aftermath of his experience one of his primary foci is bridging Science and Spirituality. The bridge he sees is...

Thanks rstrats, I was incorrect. I was confused between the choice of the number of the curtain and the desire to pick the car. The odds of any of the three items being behind curtain #1 is one out of three. The odds of any of the items being behind curtain #2 is two out of three. So if the...

I'd stay with my gut feeling of #1. Now the odds are 1 out of two. The 1 being the car and the 2 being the combination of #2 and #3. By now do you get it, rstrats? I'm always going to go with my gut feelings in this kind of situation. Aloha.. Allen:cool:

You're right, NJ! I don't need another car. I'll go with my gut feeling for the lanai accoutrements. Aloha.. Allen:cool:

Howdy Y'all! I'm Allen Papapetrou: Bliss Master, Apprentice. I'm here at the behest of my trainer, Master Mi'i. My assignment is to find other Bliss Masters and to learn from all I share with. So, who is this Sai Baba, I've heard about? I've heard he comes in three flavors, or...

Hi GK Tis tough to get a GK out of a GK box. I must apologize to you in advance. Please tell me, if you can, how to reply w/o seeming to make personal attacks, if you feel my attacks are personal. The phrase came me from Hebrews, Ch 6, V 1. Because Paul was cautioning about doing exactly what...

What! I never meant to imply that. With 3 curtains the odds are 1 out of three. With 2 curtains the odds are 1 out of two. Thus, the odds on my gut feeling have just improved. Aloha.. Allen:cool:

Ah Intractable One, you bring me much joy and mirth. You repeated a doctrine of science which I know as the "Doctrine of the Scientific Laymen". From KJV, Hebrews, Ch. 6 V.1: Therefore leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us go on unto perfection... The laymen approach to...

Hi Thomas, Nothing transcends knowing. Again knowing, a verb. Knowable, a noun. Experience, a verb. Experiential, a noun. You can read my definitions. I have not deviated: To Know is to Experience. No, I did not argue. I wrote, "I do not live in that realm." I live in the realm of both the...

Know is a verb. Knowledge is a noun. Understand is a verb. Understanding as you used it is a noun. Perhaps, looking at the subject via differentiation between verbs and nouns will provide you with more clarity. So many times, trying to figure out the "why" proved impossible. The "how" was...

Apparent motion can create apparent stillness. For example, the standing wave one can get when wiggling a rope tied a one end. Now take that principle to the smallest of the small and the largest of the large. Then bring in the observation of harmonic "stillness". And, Yes, all of nature is...

Hi GK, I enjoyed your reply. Most of it falls in line with my understanding. However, what was drilled into us in my Astronomy and Physics education is a follows: A Scientific Theory can never be proven True, only False, or Unproven . This is because some of the assumptions of the theory may...

Hi Nick, When did you live here? I love Kapa'a, however, I'm moving to Honoka'a on the Big Island next month. Reason: Table Tennis. My best to ya! Aloha.. Allen

From my university days I remember a great hot dog restaurant in Tampa Florida: Lum's. A pitcher of beer, onion rings, and a dog. All kind of dogs. My first sauerkraut dog. I'll join you with the sauerkraut. Aloha.. Allen

Hi T, The catch is, T, the only support I know of is to directly experience it yourself. Kinda like what Prof. Leonard Smith told me 45 years ago: "Once you've got it, Advanced Calculus is simple." In my experience Dr. Smith was more correct than he probably ever knew. Aloha.. Allen:cool:
