Because the essential neurosis of our experience is a built up defense mechanism against the realization of our helplessness and mortality. Self realization implies the stripping away of that defense, leaving one alone, naked, helpless, comfortless, and in utter awe and terror. It would...

Hi Thomas. I found this interesting, though I'm not sure why. Thank you for the effort! Chris

This is interesting. Evidently I'm the only one who is afraid of death. That makes me wonder if there's a taboo against admitting it. I don't think about my death too often. It's not like I'm obsessed with it. I just don't like the idea of not being here. Maybe I'm la la la ing with my...

Are you afraid of death? I mean your death. Is it something you think about often or sometimes? I am afraid of death. I find that the older I get the more I think about it. I'm trying to live a healthier lifestyle. I wonder if I have the beginnings of a disease that will kill me...

Hi Dhillon. You forgot to attribute. Here's your link:THE MYSTICISM OF SOUND - Abstract Sound Here at IO we appreciate original thoughts. The very least one can do when copying and pasting the work of others is provide attribution to the actual author. Chris

Hey Nic, this is a good place to come and try to describe what you're thinking. I've been in your position and I understand what you mean. I had that LSD experience that you're describing when I was about twenty. I still remember sitting there watching the psychedelic grainies swimming in the...

Oh, OK! :) Marriage is a great thing. Chris

Hi Drumr. This seems to imply that the cause of global discord is the competition among parents to insure the best for their kids. That seems rather simplistic to be an "ultimate" question. So I was confused as to whether that's the real question The Khan had in mind or if it's more an ice...

Cool! All the best to you and Q in the new year. Chris

Hey GF, how's married life treating you? Chris

Losing your PMS might not be a bad thing, hee hee! Then again, everyone needs an excuse sometimes. My mangina has been hurting a bit lately, mostly from having to suck it up and shut up for my own good. Chris

Thanks Brian. I got that warning yesterday and wondered what was up. Chris

You have to look at internal politics to understand the xenophibic vitriol of itinerant preachers. What are the real concerns of downtrodden people? How is nativism and ethnocentric identity politics substituted for real progress via both government propaganda and religious reactionism? How is...

I had not heard of this moon god thing. You know, modern theology is highly derivative, collative, and adaptively anachronistic. The same can be said of ancient theology. There is nothing pristine about the theology and theocratic musings of the foundational mythology of the Abrahamic sects...

It's interesting that God, of itself, is inconceivable, yet the variety of conceptions of God which are propounded as ultimate Truth seems endless. Idolatry of analogy it would seem. And people are willing to kill for their pet analogical construct. How very odd. Another poster some time...

Sorry, I just can't buy that one. There has to be some rational line somewhere or everything turns to mush. Chris

I'm a little confused by the question. People struggle to insure the best future for their children. There's a bit of class struggle involved in this. I don't think that the powers that be in the world are fighting over the supremacy of one kid versus another. On the world stage there is a...

I find intelligence most attractive. That and a nice ass... ha! I dunno, the whole beauty concept is so artificial and coercive. It really is a ridiculous. My mind says that but my libido is a slave to cultural programming that I can't seem to shake. In a different place and time bound feet...

Hi Sally! It's nice to see you around. I hope things are well with you. I remember that you said you were setting up a dating site so you may be interested to know that Kelly and I met on Yahoo's Match.com. We actually e-mailed each other at the same time. What are the odds of that?! Happy...
