    Need some good minds to wrap around this

    Yes, I'd say quite natural but not in the paradigm of most people and none of the above mentioned causalities. I find it difficult to accept that you wouldn't remember losing here and now and having such a profound vision if you had been alone.

    Need some good minds to wrap around this

    I get the impression that your cousin only got a sensation, not the vision. Since the task of driving was at hand that is not surprising. Shared "hallucinations" are an interesting phenomena. I am more biased toward telepathy as the cause in those instances. Telepathic contact is in the here...

    Need some good minds to wrap around this

    Don't fear spirits Read "Spirit Releasement Therapy" by William J. Baldwin. I give a caveat though, I think "spirits" are just a paradigm to make sense of the subconscious. Baldwin does it literally. I think it can be done differently. I still think a gestalt hypno-regression analysis of the...

    Philosophy: Should we eat meat?

    Well, I was pretty sure we weren't vegetable or mineral.

    Philosophy: Should we eat meat?

    Is the test of sentience learning? Also extrapolating that concept of danger to dissimilar situations? I have seen animals exhibit more cognizance of danger than many humans. Actually humans are animals -- and like all animals a huge spread exists in their mental acuity. Just because...

    Philosophy: Should we eat meat?

    When there is no benefit from malingering such behavior is not indulged in. 2 examples come immediately to mind. 1. Prisoner behavior in "Gulag Archipelago" 2. My own physical therapy. I remembered cows getting up in 24 hours or never getting up. So I applied myself to physical therapy. Other...

    Philosophy: Should we eat meat?

    We can observe them. Humans share speech and communicate an experience. Without language we have to observe. I offer the following story Roy Chapman Andrews was the fellow who discovered the first dinosaur eggs. He was in the Gobi desert at the time. Roy and his dog, a Samoyed, were...

    Philosophy: Should we eat meat?

    It is a slow disease like scrapies or visna. Takes a 1/4 to 1/3 of an animals lifetime in most cases to show pathology. Ain't over till the fat lady sings.

    Creating a Working Prototype of Armor to Move with You

    What you are trying to perceive is the affect. If the distance is short, as in a lab, the field's effect has to be large enough to be measureable. If the field is quite weak and it's effect quite small it would still be easy to see as intergalactic distance is many times the distance in the lab...

    Creating a Working Prototype of Armor to Move with You

    Sorry, I take nothing on faith especially when it is contrary to the established body of science. Only alpha and beta are deflected by a magnetic field. Gamma is not. You don't have to find papers and articles. Just tell me where you got the misinformation you already have. What papers were...

    Creating a Working Prototype of Armor to Move with You

    You had it right when you said: Gamma rays are stopped only by direct collision with an atom and are therefore dangerously penetrating. Plasma has no enhanced gamma interception. Stipping electron(s) from a nucleus reduces the capture area, not enhances it. Someone yanked your crank when...

    What Properties Make Earth Habitable for Life?

    We may not have craft that can visit other planets but we do know enough chemistry and physics to have intelligent speculation. Also there is a lack of any electromagnetic emissions as evidence of other intelligent life (SETI). Hardly teeming. For example---...

    Creating a Working Prototype of Armor to Move with You

    If you like electron emitters try cesium. BTW you aren't going to shield a backpack gamma emitter with a magnetic field.
