My anecdotal claims

Limbo said:
No it has to do with intent and belief. If you don't want to see a good reading or don't believe its really possible, then you won't. Simple as that. Your mind either lets it happen or it stops it from happening. It's your psi that makes it work.

It's the same reason only children, animals and some adults can see fairies.

Exactly what we would expect if reality is fundamentally consciousness and not matter.

Consciousness matters.

Matter doesn't.

What mundane possibilities have you considered and how have you ruled them out?

People with mundane belief-systems tell me that the things I have experienced are impossible. So then I rule their belief-system out.

How have you ruled out your being mistaken in your perceptions? You might refer to one of your delightfully detailed anecdotes for that.

And what do riddles have to do with Revelation? Why couldn't the details to be revealed be revealed without means of riddle?

What is the sound of one hand clapping? Do you know the answer to this riddle?

Brian-M said:
Yes. It's the sound the sound produced when you clap using only one hand. This is done by vigorously striking the fingers against the base of the palm.

I'd transcribe it as a Tt sound.

Now that I've answered your riddle, will you finally answer the question?

What do riddles have to do with Revelation? Why couldn't the details to be revealed without means of riddle?

If you don't transform your consciousness you won't be able to climb out of your body when you die. So your spirit will die too. If your spirit dies you will go through hell and be reincarnated.

If both your body and spirit are dead, then what's left to go through hell? :confused:

There are other things too. Dreams come true, flashes of intuition come to pass, synchronicity, telepathy with my wife, and things that are too personal to mention. Heck I've probably forgotten about more paranormal experiences than most people have in their entire life.

That's why I've studied comparative mysticism and I've learned what it takes to see convincing subjective evidence myself. I've studied parapsychology and so I know that my anecdotes are supported by a large body of evidence that quite frankly most skeptics are unfamiliar with. I've studied UFology and comparative mythology enough to know that these two fields are linked and I've studied enough comparative religion to know what that means. And I've interacted with them enough to know what I'm talking about. In short I'm like a Buddha or a guru and I'm the real deal. I'm here to help not to troll or to make money.

The thing is, Limbo comes off as a condescending and arrogant individual, ignoring people when he get's frustrated with them, and frequently getting frustrated at that. And this frustration seems to fly in the face of his supposed spiritual growth, he's got a very low tolerance for being challenged. Which is the kicker, he's come to a skeptics website just to tell everyone here they are all not "real" skeptics, that we're spiritual children compared to him, and he openly flaunts his progress and his advanced knowledge knowing he can't back it up and without even trying to defend it reasonably. Of course, he knows he will be challenged over everything he says, so he claims he doesn't see the point in bothering, and yet he's here, interacting with us none the less.

For some people it seems having your views challenged is a form of personal validation it seems. If there truly are spiritual and mystical gurus who a grasping hidden truths in the universe, I will hope they are not so argumentative and flippant. Maybe modesty and compassion are just stereotypes in this case.

I think the next step after this is going to your friends and saying "See I went to the skeptics and they couldnt figure out my powers at all so i must be legit."

Brutal

And the day your magical consciousness can heal the sick, or feed the hungry, or build a better mousetrap, or even something as mundane as keep the stinkbugs off my tomato plants, it will matter.

Until then, it's just meaningless babble.

Have you ever been in a state of kundalini rapture and noticed how all your senses sharpen and how your cognition heightens?

Of course you haven't. But I have.

Heh. Wrong.

Perhaps the purpose of riddles is to keep mystical knowledge out of the hands of the uninitiated?

Kundalini rapture? I've experienced kundalini ecstasy and it's so much more exalted than mere rapture.

Sorry to confuse you.

I think that being reincarnated and going to hell are the same thing seen from different religions- it's your spirit fragmenting apart, dying, burning. Like a tornado dissipating.

As a result, when you die your ego-self will be torn apart by your own inner demons and dragged to your own inner hell.
Then you will have to live another life. And another. Til you learn.

You die then get torn apart. Check.
You get dragged to inner hell. Check.
Then you get another life. Check.

Why the hell and tearing between lives?

And after a cup of coffee in the morning my senses sharpen and my cognition heightens but I suppose your experience of the world is much more special than mine. I guess you achieve some profound insights into the true nature of the world? If so, how do you verify these insights? They could just be products of your own mind that do not provide any useful understandings of the world.
