What about a third of mankind in different countries or parts of the world? Remember the Black Plague that killed about a third of Europe? Even this passage in the christian book of revelation mentions a third of mankind :eek: Spooky. Not black plaque but bird flu if it transpires to cross the...

Trust me I forgot something:o It came to mind that epilepsy sufferers are and were often viewed as visionaries. Many of the most infamous people in history who changed the world suffered seizures The reason that I included the link was for this Population increase is getting very close to...

Hi Time Traveller Now you're making me feel....I don't know, I don't think sane is the word I too as a teenager was diagnosed with epilepsy and the triggers were flashing lights and I guess stress cos when I was tired/very emotional they would be worse. My seizures usually occurred as I slept...

I discovered this on the net, in search of something else and think that it is very fitting to this thread http://www.ianlawton.com/nde1.htm

Well said Thomas. :D

This is how I see it...how can this be arrogant? I do not wish to be lied to therefore, unless I know the truth to be extremely hurtful I will not lie to another I don't wish anybody to steal from me so I don't steal from others. I don't wish to be beaten up so I don't physically hurt another...

I have been doing some digging about the net about Buddhist beliefs and I find that most of my 'natural thinking' is along the Buddhist line. I do believe that every person is born with their own code of conduct and seems that mine go along with this belief system. In teaching my children...

Thankyou for replying Vajradhara I think it is a sensible approach. I was trying to explain to look at the world as a child sees it, through fresh eyes and experience the magic of the world that is. That too often we go through life and see what we expect to see not what is really there. My...

I have been told that this is Buddhist thinking. To see the world as it really is, look at what is really there. Is it?

A man had to dream that up:rolleyes: So what will the ladies get? Is heaven for real? We can ponder all of our lives. We will not know until the inevitable comes. Does man really have to have a vision of living perfection in order to love and respect other living things?

I agree here. Man will have to regress to its old lifestyle before fossil fuels were used to forward society. The majority of the population would have no idea how to live without technology. The world would be in turmoil and it would hit every aspect of life, from birth to death. We are too...

I read the whole thread... it took some time! I am aware of the many tales of doom and gloom that the varying religions/myths portray and that they invariably wind up, in basic terms to the same thing. However, in my thinking, the authors of the doomsday scenarios will have had the tales from...

I've finally read through this thread.

They do look a lot like forsythia bush but forsythia ain't got its armoury of thorns nor does forsythia flower for so long (neither does broom). They grow wild alongside broom along the riverbank where I live...wild on the coldest windiest tops.... Don't sound crazy to me Bandit. I'll see what I...

:eek: Wow, she had an angel looking over her! I guess the baby is meant to be born.

Highly unlikely you've seen or heard of it before Bandit. Its native (as far as I know) to the UK more the north UK than the whole. Beautiful...I would call it a bush....a very large bush...and I guess if it didn't grow in wild abandon here I would definitely consider growing it in my garden...

Apologies if I'm already covering something that someone else has mentioned, I began to read the thread, got half way through and noticed the time End of the world prophecies? End of the world as we know it is a more likely scenario. A major shift that will end the way of the world as is, no...

Oh I'm so pleased this thread was started. I love plants. What surprises me on mentioning the stinging nettle is that nobody has stated its excellent therapeutic uses. Its an anti inflammatory, an excellent tonic and drank as a tea an excellent anti-histamine...this bit I found out by accident...

Yeah, labels! Who needs them? They cause friction within sectors of faith. Hopefully one day there will be universal temples. Hopefully one day mankind will seek understanding of each other and put their differences aside but I ain't holding my breath

I've seen it happen brucegdc and its still on-going. My ex and my bitch of a sister. They are now making each others lives hell like they made mine and her ex for many years. You do see retribution occaisionally :D
