    Mod+ 245. PETER RUSSELL, SCIENCE IGNORES CONSCIOUSNESS

    Oh, also want to mention that this interview with Peter Russell was AWESOME, one of the best on Skeptiko, up there with some of the best NDE guests. More like this, Alex! It's truly interesting when the physicists actually get that consciousness is something fundamental, and you cannot not...

    Mod+ 245. PETER RUSSELL, SCIENCE IGNORES CONSCIOUSNESS

    Sciborg, you've hit the nail on the head -- yes, it's a balance of both reflection and engagement. I call it the cycle of "Be-Do" (or do-be-do-be-do-be-do for those who enjoy PDQ Bach. :) And when you can achieve true balance, you can be a master of your life. All of nature is a cycle of...

    Precognitive Dream?

    Thanks, Typoz and Sciborg. I realize there's a chance it just could be coincidence, but it's a meaningful coincidence - synchronicity at least. Even though I had the dream after (on the night of when) Alex actually posted, it seems to be precognitive for me. What makes it seem to be a hit and...

    Mod+ 243. SCOTT DE TAMBLE EXPLORES LIVES BETWEEN LIVES

    Great topic. I will reply in more detail when I get a chance to write a proper post. Yes, I have past life memories -- some spontaneous while awake, and others via dreams -- and some memories/experience with regression. Some had some historical veridical elements to them, info that I don't...

    Precognitive Dream?

    OK, just had to share this... Last night I woke up from a dream in which I was interacting with @alex.tsakiris. I've never dreamed about Alex, that I'm aware of. In the dream, the bit I recall, Alex gave me a sort of cardboard "puzzle" that would fold into a 3-D shape, like a cube or other 3-D...

    Mod+ 241. JOSEPH ATWILL RESPONDS TO CAESAR’S MESSIAH CRITICS

    This will be really short as I have a very busy/full weekend. Alex, you and Atwill/gilius2k14 keep saying "Gospels" plural. Only Luke clearly used Josephus. Most scholars agree was a Gentile Christian (or Hellenized Jew) who was highly educated, well traveled, etc. I am saying that Luke...

    Chorazin was a city, not a fish. Some parallel.

    Mod+ 241. JOSEPH ATWILL RESPONDS TO CAESAR’S MESSIAH CRITICS

    Part 2... Regarding the prophecies – ancient Jews did this all the time – an event would occur, and they’d go back into the OT and find the proof text to support their various theological beliefs/claims that the “prophecy” had been fulfilled. Josephus was a Jew, he did it, so did the NT...

    Mod+ 241. JOSEPH ATWILL RESPONDS TO CAESAR’S MESSIAH CRITICS

    Before I get to the topic of the parallels/prophecies, I want to provide a disclaimer, lest anyone think I’m some Christian fundamentalist who reads the Bible literally and believes it’s inerrant and that Jesus died to atone for our sins and is the only way to Salvation, blah, blah, etc.: I am...

    Mod+ 241. JOSEPH ATWILL RESPONDS TO CAESAR’S MESSIAH CRITICS

    Alex (and Vortex, and others), one of the things you harp on about, especially with regard to NDE and psi research is that we have scholarly research that has been peer-reviewed and published in respectable professional journals. If Atwill wants to be taken seriously, he should write a research...

    Mod+ 241. JOSEPH ATWILL RESPONDS TO CAESAR’S MESSIAH CRITICS

    Another thought -- if the Gospels were written by Romans, as Atwill wants us to believe, that might explain Roman/Western Christianity as we have it today (but again, I think that goes back to Constantine, and further back to Paul). But it does not account for EASTERN forms of Christianity, such...

    Mod+ 241. JOSEPH ATWILL RESPONDS TO CAESAR’S MESSIAH CRITICS

    Wow, Alex, I realize you're exploring on your journey, but I can't believe you've fallen for Atwill's thesis. I've been reading about the historical Jesus for 20 years now, by many biblical scholars and historians. The VAST MAJORITY, many of whom are not Christian nor have any investment in...
