(On pseudoscience) "...there is one feature I notice that is generally missing in 'cargo cult science'... It's a kind of scientific integrity, a principle of scientific thought that corresponds to a kind of utter honesty -- a kind of leaning over backwards... For example, if you're doing an experiment, you should report everything that you think might make it invalid--not only what you think is right about it... Details that could throw doubt on your interpretation must be given, if you know them." -- DR. RICHARD P. FEYNMAN

It indeed feels so in the type of experience I've described. It's unmistakable.bomohwkl wrote:"Our physical bodies were simply pieces of meat that we torture with our poor psyches"
What would this topic be without:
"Man exists spiritually for the sole purpose of developing physically."
-a drunk reader of "Thiaoouba Prophecy".
Ah yes, it is actually:
"Man exists physically for the sole purpose of developing spiritually."
-"Thiaoouba Prophecy".
"..it is now very important that your experts invent the special equipment necessary, to enable perception of the Aura, as this, in turn, will ensure that correct choices are made at the critical cross-roads ahead." -- Thaora
this quote continues :
"The Russians have already photographed the Aura. This is the beginning, but the results obtained allow them only to read the first two letters of the alphabet, as it were, in comparison with what we [people of Thiaoouba] are able to decipher. The reading of the Aura in order to heal the physical body is nothing compared with what such a reading can achieve for the psychic body, or the pysiological body. It is in the area of the psyche that, on Earth, your greatest problems exist."
and another quote :
"Technology should assist spiritual development, not confine people, more and more, within a materialistic world, as is happening now on your planet."

I added the rest of the quote in green above.. There is much work still to be done to improve this technology. However the current techology does appear to be quite functional doesn't it?.Vesko wrote:It's ironic that it's invented already but is expensive and is not widespread

Definitely agree on both counts . Currently no color information can be obtained, and large objects cannot be measured, e.g. aura around head, due to risk from electrocution. But current technology can do wonders due to quite precise and presymptomatic diagnosis.Zark wrote:I added the rest of the quote in green above..
