IOW's taking a portion far larger than one can consume. However the stomach can stretch with time. Allowing more and more food to be consumed.

Re: Thought of the Day...
...


I saw someone say once. That with the number of people in the world and the amount of sex we have, that the 'human orgasm' is constantly occurring. Most likely around the clock.

Huge amounts of 'sexual energy' constantly pumping out. No pun intended.

Say God could 'feel/see everything', would that place God in a constant orgasm state?

Why do some say, Oh God! when orgasming? Or at least think it...

hmm
 Quoting: Seer777


Good post. Very thought provoking. hf
 Quoting: Tell Me Lies


Thank you. :)

I saw a statistic once of the quantity of 'semen/sperm' that is released every day. It was shocking.
 Quoting: Seer777


This all has me intrigued now, lol. Will have to do some research of my own!
 Quoting: Tell Me Lies


To Inspire is to facilitate creation within another. :)


Sexual energy is one of the most powerful forms of energy a human being can create and harness if disciplined regarding.

It can get everything else spinning.

The Chakras that is.

Re: Thought of the Day...
An imagination tainted with doubt is useless. Its easy to get lost in the how when mindful to one's reality; here in lies the struggle with mans religious fascination, what if it was once more? If it ever was than surly the time nears for it to make itself known, otherwise ALL manKs faith has been in Vain.

Re: Thought of the Day...
I guess many people, the vast majority of them, are persecuted at some level. The manifestation of this persecution co-incides with the mind's perception of it. How would you believe you are persecuted and not become persecuted? And then you have extreme cases.

It is through the mind perception that you cause harm to yourself. And what does influence our mind perception? What keeps it limited, bent out of purpose and intention?


Someone told me once that religion is what reconnects man (because religar means to reconnect in portuguese), that was very interesting to me. But we have to be a bit more specific at what we are referring to as 'religion'.


I look at religions as allegories, trapped in a specific space and time which are, altough seemingly everchanged, contained.

What is it that is signified by the symbols?

 Quoting: HilosPP


I'm not sure imagination is bound by doubt. As one can imagine whatever one chooses. And is bound only by ones capacity to do so. Some are much better than others. As you mentioned.

I think may be instead, what one is capable of 'imagining' that creates doubt. And doubt can and is very healthy to hold on to.

In many cases.

Believing what one is told IOW. Especially if it feeds a belief.


How long can you hold a colored and moving landscape within your Mind?

Do you know what one of the hardest things to imagine is? Peoples faces.

Do it. Think of someone close to you. Their face. See if you default to a still image photograph you have seen...

Would that be like Self-Fulfilling prophesy?

Laziness and difficulty with bending perception is what holds the chains.


Religion divides by attempting to unify.

Did you feel you 'eyes' doing this? As you attempted to recreate their face?
[link to www.wired.com]


Here’s a recent example. A team led by Marvin Chun, a cognitive neuroscientist at Yale, published a study last month in which they used brain scans to reconstruct pictures of faces that the subjects had been looking at during the scan. On one hand, whoa. Using machines and computers they produced a something like a printout of what people saw.

In the 'Age of the Selfie' can you imagine never knowing what you looked like?

How would that change your perception of yourself and those you interacted with?


Wasn't such a foreign concept that long ago...
I heard a story many years ago regarding the advent of photography and indigenous cultures.

Essentially, when 'group images' of those in the tribe were shown to the tribal members, each recognized all but themselves...

Whether comfortable or not, it will occur regardless.

Man has not yet perfected immortality. Thankfully.

But I know what you are saying. As a late Gen X'er, I will admit to being completely tied to my devices. And without said, like living in a cave...

I remember what it was like before, and this is far superior to my sense. And it is no wonder that children are as attracted as they are.

They say to Not remember history is to repeat it. So if a majority remembers, the tipping point will be reached.
