"Here's the bottom line. Let me make it clear enough for even people like Sam Harris to understand: Sam Harris is essentially saying: 'Don't blindly believe THEIR books! Be wise and blindly believe MY BOOKS!!!' I say the problem here is people blindly believing ANY AUTHORITY FIGURES, PERIOD!!!
I say: If you are truly wise you will ABSOLUTELY REFUSE to blindly believe ANYONE or ANY STORY you have not personally, empirically verified as true!!! Now that would solve the problem.
Of course, people who want you to blindly believe their books will not agree with me; and this regardless of whether they are religious or atheist!! Everyone in this type of debate is looking for followers and do their best to justify why you should follow them!
Let me give you an empirical down to Earth example of what I mean here: How many of you reading this have personally empirically verified that the sun does not actually go around the Earth, as you have seen it do all of your lives? NONE OF YOU, RIGHT? You just blindly believe the sun does not go around the Earth ON BLIND FAITH IN SCIENCE!!!!
From the perspective of we who live on the Earth THE SUN GOES AROUND THE EARTH, PERIOD!!! That is an empirical fact that you can personally verify most every day. As for the Earth revolving. Well, if you ever find yourself living in space then, AND ONLY THEN, will you be able to personally verify that the Earth does indeed revolve. Until then IT IS MYTHOLOGY and that's the way you should treat the concept of the Earth revolving.
'Oh no!!!' People like Sam Harris and Michael Shermer would say, 'You must blindly believe that the Earth revolves because science says so!!' To that I respond with, "GO FUCK YOURSELVES!!! I only believe that which I personally verify and I'm always ready to find I am incorrect about anything I CURRENTLY believe, period! YOU, obviously, are not always ready to find you are incorrect about anything you blindly believe so, like it or not, that makes you my intellectual INFERIOR!!!''
In a time where wearing 'powder puff' wigs was all the rage I find it interesting to consider that this great composer didn't care if the world knew he was balding. When I think about it, that says a real sincerity to me. It tells the story of man who wasn't ashamed of who he ACTUALLY was and that is very rare indeed!
My instinctive reaction was, "Why didn't he portray himself while wearing a wig? After all, it seems practically everyone was doing it back then".

MY COMMENT:
From what I have studied, the discoveries of Quantum Physics geniuses, who are not afraid to admit the obvious, are in harmony with the basic beliefs of advanced Buddhism, advanced overall Hindu beliefs and Shamanistic cultures in general. This statement is most certainly in harmony with the teachings of Castaneda's don Juan. That much is for certain.
The quote has given validation to my personal empirical experiences with the Spirit of Intent and Mother Nature. There is some sort of mysterious awareness and consciousness behind and at the core of what we call "reality". As the years go on I am more and more certain of this as fact!
Great Quantum Physics geniuses like Max Planck and Schrodinger apparently believed this is true and my personal, empirical experiences give me no choice except to concur.
Whether others believe this truth or not is COMPLETELY IRRELEVANT!!!
What is relevant to me is: how can I use this truth to my overall advantage?
Since this is the underlying core of my personal belief system my relationship with the Spirit of Intent, Mother Nature and the Spirit of Mother Earth revolves around this question. As far as I am concerned, learning new and wonderful ways to use EVERYTHING I perceive to my personal advantage is what successful living is all about!
"You people who feel you are critical thinkers and just blindly believe people like Michael Shermer at face value without personally verifying anything that he 'preaches' are, in actuality, gullible blind faith believing fools!! From my studies Shermer is INCORRECT about Ganesh being the most worshiped deity in India. At least, not in the sense that Ganesh is considered the supreme deity in India. From my studies. Ganesh is worshiped to remove the obstacles that keep one's prayers from being as effective as they could be when praying to the Supreme, usually in the form of Vishnu or Shiva. Shermer leaves one with the impression that Ganesh is considered the Supreme deity in India and, in that sense, I believe Michael Shermer is indeed incorrect!
In the final analysis I strongly believe that who you say you believe in is not the main issue. The main issue is how you strive to live your lives. As far as I am concerned, it seems ridiculous that human consciousness and intelligence came into being by "accident". To blindly feel that everything that is has come into being by "accident", as these atheist Shermer types blindly tend to believe, is ridiculous to me.
Science blind people like Michael Shermer tend to act absolutely certain about things they are, in actuality, NOT ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN OF!!! In this video Shermer essentially says that it is instinctively the way of animals, and humans, to wisely assume that any rustle in the bushes may very well be a predatory animal of some sort; just to be on the safe side. That is the way animals in nature tend to react. From my studies, they don't take any chances in a world where everything seems to be eating everything else.
Expand this concept and consider that it is not wise to take your chances and blindly assume there is no predatory type of God who will eventually judge you by the way you lived. I say: THE WISE WILL STRIVE TO LIVE A GOOD, STRONG, HEALTHY, LOVINGLY GRATEFUL & APPRECIATIVE LIFE just in case there is a God who will eventually judge them for the ways that they lived.
If you pride yourselves on being critical thinkers then I strongly suggest you ruthlessly critically think about ANYTHING this Michael Shermer states and not accept it all on BLIND FAITH!!!
C'mon folks. Let's get real. Take a proverbial step back and consider people like Leonardo Da Vinci and the great musical and artistic masters of the past. Now, does it really make sense that their intelligence and inspiration all existed...by accident? If you truly think for yourselves I'm sure you will agree that this "accident" THEORY of atheist scientists is ridiculous! To believe it on blind faith in science is even MORE ridiculous!!"
MY COMMENT:
"The problem, I see, with science is that it was 'born' out of violent, WELL JUSTIFIED, rage against the Christian religion. Heck, If my loved ones or friends were tortured to death for being original thinkers I would be violently bitter against the church as well, for crying out loud!!!
Things have changed. The Christian church no longer tortures people to death for not blindly believing their religious doctrine...or so I am led to believe. However, science in general has not changed in its overall agenda of trying to destroy all faith in God.
People like Shermer don't want to admit that science is basically divided into two camps: Those who believe there is no super intelligence guiding and sustaining the universe and those who do believe in the possibility of a super intelligent consciousness guiding and sustaining the reality we experience.
Each side of this debate has their purported "experts" with fancy sounding rhetoric to support their stances. Each acts as though their respective authorities are absolutely correct. To me it is a ridiculous clown show! Acting as though you are certain of things you are not actually certain of is just plain ridiculous! I say, the wise will leave the matter open and be ready for any new discoveries to alter their current views on the true nature of reality"
MY COMMENT:
"Well, what's the matter? Have I single-handedly defeated ALL you blind faith skeptics and put you in your place? Hey, that's quite impressive, if you think about it. All I had backing me up is the Spirit of Mother Nature's Intent to clear away the imposed Bildergerg 'fog' of the mind that has been insidiously instilled in us through the Bilderberg agenda approved scholastic systems and their MIND CONTROL media.
From my studies I now believe that, since it's inception, MK-Ultra mind control techniques have been secretly transferred to the television media. Only THEIR APPROVED programs make it into THEIR MEDIA. Those programs...they should have used a different term. I mean "PROGRAMS" makes it quite evident that THEY are using television to PROGRAM YOUR MINDS!!!!
I'd say it's true that television is indeed the ULTIMATE HYPNOTIST!!!
You bunch of skeptic suckers who always fall for whatever "official story" the media vomits on you!!! Whether it be about UFOs, or psychic abilities, or 9/11 or whatever the fuck they want to PROGRAM you with. You skeptic suckers are easy blind faith bait for the masters of societies. You are unwitting proverbial lab rat idiots!!!
I hear they call you "sheeple" and they laugh as they say it. You skeptics are a bunch of well programmed, blind faith morons; blindly believing everything people like Michael Shermer say as though he's the 27th coming of whatshisface!"
MY COMMENT:
Atheist science and it's representatives, like Mr Shermer, would like to have you believe that all truly intelligent people do not believe in God. They would like you to blindly believe this at face value AND YOU BLIND FAITH SKEPTIC SUCKERS USUALLY DO!!!
Just because people like Michael Shermer come off as though every truly intelligent person does not believe in God you suckers fall for it!!! Well, I believe there are MANY very intelligent genius scientists who believe there is some sort of intelligent consciousness controlling reality and I believe the proverbial 'father' of Quantum theory was one of those geniuses!!!
"All matter originates and exists only by virtue of a force... We must assume behind this force the existence of a conscious and intelligent Mind. This Mind is the matrix of all matter.”
-Max Planck
It is said that the great Quantum Physics genius Erwin Schroedinger was profoundly influenced by Vedic thought. That means his view of quantum reality would be much more in alignment with that of Deepak Chopra than Michael Shermer.
So don't be fooled into thinking that all truly intelligent people are staunch atheist skeptics!

MY REPLY TO A SKEPTIC:
WHY SHOULD ANYONE
TRUST YOUR OPINION
OVER THAT OF MAX PLANCK?
WHO THE ARE YOU?
A NOTHING NOBODY!!!
Of course, the Bilderbergers have nothing to fear from me attempting to be the "hero" of a bunch of dumb, programmed, idiot sheeple. I might as well have written this to a bunch of literal sheep, for all the good it will do them.
Anyone who reads my responses to the skeptics will most certainly come to the conclusion that I have NO INTENTION WHATSOEVER of being their "hero".
People like Alex Jones and David Icke seem to feel that exposing the wicked is the answer. I say: from my personal empirical experiences, Mother Nature is about to go KILLING BERSERK!!! This is no time to be trying to expose ANYONE!! This is a time to celebrate! These are the 'good old days'. I strongly suggest you put aside as much bullshit as you possibly can and... ((( CELEBRATE!!! )))
I believe there is a segment of the Larry King interview that got Benny Hinn all steamed up and angry at Joel Osteen. The fool Hinn is absolutely certain Jesus said every single thing attributed to Him in the Bible. HINN HAS NO PROOF OF THIS!!! However, I believe, EVERYONE has proof enough that the current ending to the Biblical Book of Mark IS NOT THE ORIGINAL ENDING!!! The Book of Mark WAS TAMPERED WITH!!!
If you don't believe me look into the matter and you should find that the original Book of Mark ended when everyone ran from Jesus' tomb in terror!!! So, we have clear evidence that at least one Biblical book has been tampered with; a book canonized by both Catholics and Protestants!!! What does that say? BE VERY SUSPICIOUS OF THE BIBLE AND DON'T BLINDLY BELIEVE EVERY WORD TO BE INFALLIBLY AND INERRANTLY TRUE!!! If you are wise you will take my advice.
Blind faith fools seem to feel that they can do whatever they like as long as they keep saying "Jesus, Jesus, Jesus". SORRY BUT, if you persist in doing evil it doesn't matter what name you call on!!!!! So don't be condemning others because they don't say "Jesus" enough to suit your Christian fancy!!! Look into the possible tampering of your "holy book" before you go condemning others for believing in God differently!!!
You know, it's really interesting to note that, first of all, I don't like Joel Osteen. I just don't like the guy and I don't trust him. HOWEVER, it seems to me MANY Christian pastors are condemning Mr Osteen OUT OF JEALOUSY while I have, so far, not seen so much as a single interview where Joel Osteen condemns ANYONE!!!
Mr Osteen obviously does not feel qualified to pass judgment against ANYONE while these other OBVIOUSLY JEALOUS pastors see it as "righteousness" to pass heinous condemnation against Mr Osteen. If they eventually are judged by God the way they judge, as their Bible says, I would imagine those condemning pastors are in very, very big trouble!!!!
I don't know if Jesus actually existed, as the Bible says He did, but I do know that the story of Jesus overall inspires me to be loving, forgiving and merciful. It DOES NOT inspire me to condemn others who don't believe exactly as I do, but...that's me. Christians who accept the Bible as though Jesus said every single word exactly as written are usually the ones who go around condemning others who don't believe as they do.
WHAT MATTERS TO ME ARE THE QUALITY OF THE TEACHINGS
not whether or not someone, like Jesus or the Buddha, actually existed. Whatever is useful to me is more than welcome in my personal belief system...until it is no longer proven useful, but that's just me
LET ME ASK YOU SOMETHING, you who would stand as God and condemn Joel Osteen: Is what Joel Osteen preaches worse than what the Muslims preach? OHHHHHHHHH, you don't want to answer that, right cowards? You attack Osteen because you know he won't fight back. After what happened to Pat Roberson for criticizing the Muslims you instinctively put your proverbial tails between your blind faith legs and cower away from a question like this!!!
(((SPIT!!!)))
Of course, those very same condemning pastors would condemn me for writing this!
Religions who condemn others who don't believe as they do are NOT helping the societies of the world. I believe blind faith worship is at the core of what makes all religions harmful to society, as a whole, and to this planet. Study into the matter and you will most certainly find that 'the love of money' is NOT the root of all evil.
THE DESIRE TO BE WORSHIPED IS AT THE ROOT OF ALL EVIL!!!
It's amazing to consider that, purportedly, Mohammed defeated the Meccan armies, rode into Mecca's Kaaba and destroyed all the idols. Great move on Mohammed's part. However, he never considered that the people would end up worshiping the BLOODY BUILDING INSTEAD!!!! Words cannot properly describe just how fucking dumb that is and the people would not be doing it if it were not for the urging of their demented religious leaders!!!!
If humanity is to survive, I say the best of all the greatest religions should be honored, All WORSHIP should be outlawed, and replaced with love and ruthless critical thinking!
I say socialism, communism and democracy had and have one thing in common: they were attempts to instill a system that would not allow for corruption. ALL the systems failed because their philosophical ideologies were unable to keep corruption from eating their precious systems from the inside out like a tooth decay. -Viracocha Jason Aristotle
I haven't personally tested this belief, but from what I have studied, I believe that if you take only the very, very best and greatest teachings from the greatest, most enduring religions known to to man the teachings will fit together so seamlessly that it will sound like they were all stated by the very same person.
Chopra answers Michael Shermer's questions and the answers bounce off his thick head leaving no impression whatsoever. So Shermer ends up as though the questions were not answered at all. This is one of the sure signs of the spiritually comatose dead.
The only way I know of to make any real spiritual progress is to control and stop the internal dialogue AT WILL. Until Michael Shermer can get past his preconceived notions of what reality is he can never experience reality directly. The reality he perceives will ALWAYS be filtered and limited by what Shermer THINKS reality is.
For example, when he knocks on his electronic pad quantum science says he is not actually knocking on anything solid. He is knocking on energy that SEEMS solid and that solidity is an illusion. THAT'S THE SCIENCE Shermer supposedly believes in and yet...he obviously doesn't believe it!!!!! MAKE UP YOUR MIND, SHERMER. EITHER YOU BELIEVE SCIENCE OR YOU DON'T!!!!
Shermer's problem is he feels if there is a God he MUST be able to comfortably fit in Shermer's preconceived notion of reality. HOWEVER, there is no more room in Shermer's proverbial cup for anything to fit!!! Shermer's mind is like an unbroken chain of certainties he refuses to accept may be incorrect in any way. Shermer is dead certain reality is totally the way it appears no matter what new discoveries in Quantum Physics may state.
The concept of TEMPORARILY erasing one's personal history can only be PROPERLY accomplished through advanced meditation where one develops the ability to stop one's internal dialogue at will. Until Michael Shermer can do this I believe he will never be able to get past the barrier of his preconceived notions of what he THINKS reality is.
Here's the core problem, as I see it: Unless a person's spiritual body is awakened and properly 'breathing' it can be like trying to explain the sentient nature of the universe to someone who is literally asleep. They can't understand. They can't conceive it to be real.
If Deepak is going to convince the spiritually comatose asleep that there truly is an intelligence behind the reality we are experiencing YOU HAVE TO SHOW THEM!!!! If you cannot show them all you have are words and they will counter with their words.
The final outcome will always be a stalemate; even as it has always been. Deepak will never convince them and they will never convince Deepak. However, I must admit that at least Deepak has the courage to confront the atheist skeptics in a public forum. That takes guts alright and I applaud him for that!
Obviously, there are scientists who feel there is a controlling intelligence behind the reality we experience and there are scientists who do not and this expands into the field of quantum mechanics. Each side of the proverbial coin has scientists who are firmly convinced THEIR particular point of view is the most correct. Until someone SHOWS THEM DIFFERENT chances are it will always remain this way for, I feel, words will NOT awaken the spiritually comatose asleep and that's all there is to it!
Notice how Michael Shermer is so spiritually comatose dead he can't even respond to Deepak. All he can really do is say he's wrong. If it wasn't for the other guy Shermer would be exposed, by Deepak, as THE IDIOT HE TRULY IS!!!!!
Master of all arts and sciences. perfect in all crafts, Ruler of the Three Worlds, Scribe of the Gods, and Keeper of the Books of Life, Thoth Hermes Trismegistus – the Three Times Greatest
Hermes Trismegistus was regarded by the ancient Egyptians as the embodiment of the Universal Mind. While in all probability there actually existed a great sage and educator by the name of Hermes, it is impossible to extricate the historical man from the mass of legendary accounts which attempt to identify him with the Cosmic Principle of Thought.
SUPPOSITIONS CONCERNING THE IDENTITY OF HERMES
Iamblichus averred that Hermes was the author of twenty thousand books; Manetho increased the number to more than thirty-six thousand (see James Gardner)–figures which make it evident that a solitary individual, even though he be overshadowed by divine prerogative, could scarcely have accomplished such a monumental labor. Among the arts and sciences which it is affirmed Hermes revealed to mankind were medicine, chemistry, law, art, astrology, music, rhetoric, Magic, philosophy, geography, mathematics (especially geometry), anatomy, and oratory. Orpheus was similarly acclaimed by the Greeks.
In his Biographia Antiqua, Francis Barrett says of Hermes: “* * * if God ever appeared in man, he appeared in him, as is evident both from his books and his Pymander; in which works he has communicated the sum of the Abyss, and the divine knowledge to all posterity; by which he has demonstrated himself to have been not only an inspired divine, but also a deep philosopher, obtaining his wisdom from God and heavenly things, and not from man.”
His transcendent learning caused Hermes to be identified with many of the early sages and prophets. In his Ancient Mythology, Bryant writes: “I have mentioned that Cadmus was the same as the Egyptian Thoth; and it is manifest from his being Hermes, and from the invention of letters being attributed to him. ” Investigators believe that it was Hermes who was known to the Jews as “Enoch,” called by Kenealy the “Second Messenger of God.” Hermes was accepted into the mythology of the Greeks, later becoming the Mercury of the Latins. He was revered through the form of the planet Mercury because this body is nearest to the sun: Hermes of all creatures was nearest to God, and became known as the Messenger of the Gods.
In the Egyptian drawings of him, Thoth carries a waxen writing tablet and serves as the recorder during the weighing of the souls of the dead in the judgment Hall of Osiris–a ritual of great significance. Hermes is of first importance to Masonic scholars, because he was the author of the Masonic initiatory rituals, which were borrowed from the Mysteries established by Hermes. Nearly all of the Masonic symbols are Hermetic in character. Pythagoras studied mathematics with the Egyptians and from them gained his knowledge of the symbolic geometric solids. Hermes is also revered for his reformation of the calendar system. He increased the year from 360 to 365 days, thus establishing a precedent which still prevails. The appellation “Thrice Greatest” was given to Hermes because he was considered the greatest of all philosophers, the greatest of all priests, and the greatest of all kings. It is worthy of note that the last poem of America’s beloved poet, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, was a lyric ode to Hermes."

MY COMMENT:
Ah, but fact of the matter is the spiritual body has infinite heights to reach. I believe the properly trained spiritual body can compensate for the limitations of the physical body.
I believe more strongly than ever that those in power have DELIBERATELY formed an educational system that causes the spiritual body to go into a semi-comatose state. I believe that only the Spiritual mind can understand truly Spiritual things. To all those whose Spiritual Bodies are in a semi-comatose state all truly Spiritual doctrine sounds like 'mumbo-jumbo' nonsense. They cannot comprehend it because their Spiritual Minds are in a DELIBERATELY INDUCED semi-comatose state.
It is becoming increasingly evidence that the kings of world finance are the zionist Jewish Rothschild family. They, and their super-rich friends, are determined to keep the human race in a semi-comatose spiritual state through the educational system that is reinforced by THEIR MEDIA!!
Apparently, in order to become successful in a big way in THEIR MEDIA one MUST adhere to the overall agenda. That is why there are so many low energy, dumb programs on commercial television. The overall agenda is to keep the Spiritual minds of all those who watch in a weak, preoccupied, semi-comatose state.
There is a great body of evidence that the Disney corporation uses some sort of advanced MK-ULTRA mind control to create the pop stars they unleash upon the public in order to corrupt the minds of the young.
Supposedly, the corruption of the minds of the young is all a part of the zionist Bilderberg agenda for the new world order domination of humanity.
Unlike Alex Jones, I have no desire to make trouble for the Illuminati. In my dealings with Mother Nature I agree with them that about 90% of humanity is not fit to live and MUST be eliminated if the best of humanity is to survive.
If the Illuminati consider me unworthy of their 'brave new world' I have no intention of fighting against their decision. I give my life willingly in order to make room for those whom they consider more worthy of life than I
This is a noble courage, and grateful appreciation, cowards just cannot possibly comprehend! I believe the Illuminati respect such courage and conviction and will grant me a noble, quick death; should the situation arise

MY COMMENT:
Since, apparently, most Renaissance philosophers considered this work so valuable they tried to get the Vatican to canonize it, some at the loss of their lives, I thought I would see if I could find it at the Amazon Kindle store. Lo and behold, I just bought a copy FOR 99 CENTS!!! Seems almost a crime that I could get it so cheap. I couldn't resist buying it.
