yes ... I've never understood how we spend billions of dollars to send a spaceship to another planet when we can't even take care of our own planet, only for that billion dollars to be lost because someone made a mis-calculation back in the lab ... and NASA's attitude is "when do we start building the next one?" And what is the logic in doing things like spending millions of dollars on a movie premiere (specifically, I'm referring to "Pearl Harbor") when there are people starving in the world. Evolved?

Learning how to teleport would be a lot easier and cheaper, don't you think? But you go tell that to the Virgo skeptics!-StarLover IP: Logged |

LOLyou know how some people say "i'll believe it when i see it"? my attitude sometimes tends to be "i believe it because they say i will never see it", you kno what i mean? i like thinking opposite to the majority. i wonder how it is that scientists easily brand something "impossible" and then when their proven wrong, they just as easily brand it a "scientific breakthrough", but aren't all "breakthrough's" (sp?) unintentional? haven't some of the most important ones been found by actually doing something "wrong"??? people say they need rules, but what kind of a thing to say is that? isn't life all about breaking rules? isn't that what they have discovered over and over again, that all of their rules are eventually broken (again)? i wonder if we'll ever actually believe that anything is possible, i wonder if one day we wont need money,and posessions and material things...i wonder if people can ever go back to that (if they were ever there in the first place ) ------------------ " I seem to have loved you in numberless forms, numberless times, in life after life, in age after age, forever." ~Rabindranath Tagore~ ~sigh~ IP: Logged |

Indeed. Evolution's debatable. Species superiority is also questionable. I tend to think that it's all connected. I wouldn't be who I am without the love I've experienced from the dogs and cats I lived with in my childhood. They may not have taught much about computers, but I learnt a lot of other things from them. My dog and I used to wrestle and have fun all over the place. Cats have always held awesome conversations (obviosly about "nothing") and the way they lie on you and just let you touch them, absorbing all of your stress! I love the many species, but question a few. Spiders are pretty creepy but seem very evolved. I tend to think that all living things teach and learn of each other and cannot be ditinguished by superioroty. I love Dolphins. Their half smiles and knowing eyes are amazing! At the end of the day, I think if the sun blew up, humans have the highest chance of leaving the planet if that's what survival of the fittest is all about. Whether we bring other species along I don't know. ------------------ Love and Light to aLL My numerology program according to "Star Signs" by LG. IP: Logged |

Mr. or Mrs. bauschd-- my dear, what is your sign?Haven't any of you read "A wind in the door" by the "Wrinkle in time" lady? It discussed the life of a microscopic organism's part- ok? Mitochondria it was. Remember that from science class? If something so small as one working part of a cell can have a life- that somehow leads me to thinking, yes! Yes a human can be an animal, or come back as a plant... I have named each and every one of my plants because I feel it... they send me 'vibes'. Anyone on my page? With such lovers of whales and dolphins here, don't any of you long to be one? I sure hope we can. I'd like to be a bird...a beautiful large hummingbird of the rainforest. As for being immortal, wouldn't that happen only after you've circled the astrological wheeel enough times to be truly certified 'weise', 'wize' (how do you spell that anyway?!) Maybe, just maybe that involves stints as animals... Wize old owl, speedy cheetah, memory of an elephant, industrious ant, clever cat, laughing hyena... or plants; calming chamomile, soothing lavender, energizing eucalyptus, cleansing dandelion... Know what I'm sayin'? IP: Logged |

The choice of Physical Immortality is a whole different er, animal all together in that we choose to longer need to forget ourselves in our various lives.Besides, my cat told me very recently that if I ever gave up this immortality schtick, there's no way in a million generations I'd ever come back as a littly kitty.

Welcome LovelyLeo I haven't anyone welcome you yet, so on behalf of LindaLand, welcome!  I'm a Mercurian male of the twin variety (as opposed to single Earth). I did a search on the book you mentioned. Does the cover look like this: ? It sounds interesting. I personally would love to take a ride in a ribosome down a fork in the endoplasmic reticulum. Sounds like fun. Yes, life in any other form would be a blast. Imagine being a snail. I swear those guys are on their own planet. Oh, I just remembered something that I wanted to bring up at some stage but kept forgetting. Don't you think that viruses are little robots created and dispatched by Aliens? I swear the drawings and characteristics of these "non-living organisms" are absolutely fascinating. They have to be robots! ------------------ Love and Light to aLL My numerology program according to "Star Signs" by LG. IP: Logged |

the problem with immortality is that you have to deal with all of your problems and carry them with you for an unspecified amount of time, perhaps subconsciously we don't want to have to deal with what he have done, so we just start again...making mistakes all over again!  ------------------ " I seem to have loved you in numberless forms, numberless times, in life after life, in age after age, forever." ~Rabindranath Tagore~ ~sigh~ IP: Logged |

It's difficult to learn from Karma when you can't associate it directly.  ------------------ "Never mentally imagine for another that which you would not want to experience for yourself, since the mental image you send out inevitably comes back to you." Rebecca Clark IP: Logged |

Ditto what Randall said about immortality not catching on for a while. I think that if and when we do have lots of immortals, well, we'll just ship them off to the next planet, solar system, or galaxy, and let them hang loose with the natives there. Hehe, I'd be up for that.  ------------------ Hello everybody! I used to be QueenofSheeba and then I was Apollo and now I am QueenofSheeba again (and I'm a guy in case you didn't know)! IP: Logged |

It does not seem that we forget all we've learned, only most of it.

well i think the space race will prove ultimately to have been an expensive waste of time. "awakened" people, whether physically immortal or not, do not need tin cans to fly around in. we will eventually travel by teleport or telepathy and i am sure there are plenty amongst us who do so right now...while i am practicing youthing i am also practicing raising my awareness, because i am convinced that once one reaches a high enough level of consciousness it doesn't matter if you "die" or not...you will not come back to tread the hamster wheel but with full consciousness of your other lives and dimensions, completely by choice...

I would say that, sooner or later, every evolved being would choose to have a direct confrontation with death, which would give the appearance of actually dying, as Jesus on the cross------------------ The stone which the builders rejected, The same was made the head of the corner; Matthew 21:42 IP: Logged |

I guess it's just following the law of "for everything spiritual, there is a physical manefestation of it." They're just attempting to do what is our birthright anyway, and they subconsciously know this, although their methods are a little off... focusing too much on technology without sufficient enlightenment.
