Click For Summary
The discussion revolves around the concept of experiencing a "bowl-less" existence, symbolizing a shift away from conventional thinking and the matrix of societal norms. Participants explore the idea of cleansing one's perception to gain clarity and insight, with references to personal visions and the potential for scientific validation of spiritual experiences. There is a debate about the existence of God and the challenges of presenting subjective experiences as objective proof in a materialistic world. The conversation also touches on the limitations of communicating profound ideas to those who may not be receptive, likening them to "fish" in a bowl. Ultimately, the thread emphasizes the importance of personal belief and the quest for understanding beyond the visible reality.

Matrixism

Dissident Dan said:
I dub this thread a matrixism.

As one who subscribes to its beliefs I have to take exception to the use of the word Matrixism. Matrixism is a genuine religion spawned in part from the movie The Matrix but with a greater history. It is no big whoop but I figured that I should point this out.

If you are curious about just what Matrixism is you can peruse a short description of it at http://www.geocities.com/matrixism :smile:

Actually, the only way you're going to believe any of this is if you can establish a basis by which to accept it for yourself. Meaning you have to have some sort of working idea of it your mind and understand how it works ... in other words by working with it.

This is something Randi needs to know as well, that you just can't come out point blank and say prove to me that it works, not without understanding what it means to get from point A to point B, and why things occur the way they do. And no, you may not be able to reproduce the results (which isn't to say it's not impossible), but at least you'll understand what the results mean.

Indeed it's very much like trying to predict which way the wind blows. You may not understand "from whence it comes and whence it goes," similar to what it says about being born of the spirit in John 3:5-8, but that doesn't change the fact that the wind doesn't exist. And yet if we learn how to construct a sail, and put it on a boat (regarding "our lives"), then it doesn't matter, because we can now harness the wind from whichever direction it blows.

If you would like to read about an experience which was the pivotal point of my life, that's even more significant than the Chief Joseph account, then please follow the link ...
