Re: Journey Through the Universe - Urantia Book Video
Eric, Thank you for walking through the universe with me yesterday. I look forward to future talks with you as well. Your questions really helped steer the conversation where it needed to go. As for life on a planet so close to Paradise, I found this passage for you: Life on the divine worlds of the...

Re: Oppenheimer
Hi CAM, Thanks for bumping this one up. I recently watched this movie and I think I’m still processing it. There certainly are many rabbit trails to investigate. It seems that the one thing we all have in common is that we want to believe. That’s what keeps pushing us forward. Thanks for coming onbo...

Re: Uplifting Music
If you’re ever feeling down, just do the twist.

And if that doesn’t work, try again.

Re: Uplifting Music
Coldplay is one of my favorite bands. Their music takes me up sometimes when I’m feeling down. I heard this song today, and figured I would share it. I really like the video too. https://youtu.be/BPNTC7uZYrI?si=zW8ldW8-2iTn3gXH “We're gonna get it, get it together I know We're gonna get it, get it t...

Re: Just a Regret
Thanks for sharing, Sandy. I’m sure George misses you too. I was discussing regrets with a friend awhile back. Since we are all imperfect by design, we all make mistakes and end up having regrets at some point. Sometimes the error is in our actual thoughts, words, and actions, and other times it is ...

Hi Eric, Yes, I think it was a release of some sort. I was a bit intense but I worked through it. Thanks for your help with that. I do plan on returning to Robyn’s healing circle. I look forward to connecting with that group and coming out of my shell a bit more. Thanks for sharing Steve’s song. I l...

I don’t know exactly why but I’m very emotional since watching this. I tried to meditate but I’m just getting tears run down my face and surges of energy run through me. This is crazy.

The eyes in those transmissions through the crystal are like portals in themselves. Some of them gave me goosebumps. I also got a :14 time prompt while watching.

Thanks for sharing this video, Eric. Casey has had some amazing experiences. It’s great of her to share her story like this. When I met Casey last week, I felt that her energy was very beautiful. I’ve been kicking myself in the butt for being so quiet in that meeting. I’m still a bit socially awkwar...

Geoff, the many theories on alien civilizations and the roles they have played on our world are very fascinating.

Re: Discovering Answers, The Living Spirit
Good. I'm spending some time working on the slides today since I have the day off of work. My plan is to present a brief introduction of the book and then step you through the Foreword, explaining a lot of the terms and concepts used throughout the text. This will lay a good foundation for further s...

I was guided to this thread today. That was a beautiful poem, Eric. Babies and puppies are two things that always seem to put an insuppressible smile on my face.

Re: The Self: A Means to an End
I believe these essays were lessons for me. I was given some guidance on what to write, but I was the one to put them together. They reflect upon the phenomenon on selfhood, and the end of self is the beginning of Self. This week when I was contemplating infinity, I reached a level in my mind where ...

Re: Discovering Answers, The Living Spirit
Wow, Eric! Those are awesome experiences. Thank you for sharing. It brings to mind the message that went out yesterday about psychic abilities actually being gifts. I think it befalls us to learn how to use these gifts and I like the way you are intuiting the experiences. You mention the Dalmatian p...

Eric, After you asked me about why I left the site, I revisited this post. I was actually very sad to leave back then but felt that it was the right thing to do.

Re: Happy Pi Day!
Correction:’imaginary’ number i, not a complex number which has a real and imaginary part. i is the square root of -1. It is not actually possible to take the square root of a negative number, but i is used many practical applications. Much like how our imaginations drive actual creative projects.

Re: Happy Pi Day!
Very interesting, Rod! My favourite thing about pi is how it relates to another irrational constant, e, which is defined as the summation from n=0 to infinity of 1/n!. Which is the limit as n approaches infinity of the expression 1+1/n. It is related to pi, 0, 1, and complex number i through Euler’s...

Happy Pi Day!
Pi is the ratio of a circle’s circumference to its diameter and its constant for every circle. It’s typically rounded to 3.14, but it’s actually an irrational number, meaning the decimal places continue infinitely without repetition or pattern. This has got me thinking about infinity today. We have ...
