Time is effected by gravity. Beings not effected by gravity would experience time in a completely different way. Thread: Hypothetically, couldnt you communicate with your spirit?

Anonymous Coward User ID: 76792534 United States 06/26/2019 09:44 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Inspired by Thread: Cool website about catastrophic cosmic event 12,900 years ago I was discussing the 12,000 year catastrophe cycle with a coworker today. I was trying to get them to imagine how quickly our entire civilization could be forgotten after an event like this. Quoting: PirateMonkey They thought the idea was ridiculous. Their main objection was "If this has all happened before, why don't we see more evidence of previous civilizations?" A few hundred thousand people survive the event. Maybe a few million. Preps running out and spoiling within a few years. No power, mining, refining, manufacturing, production, etc because most everyone who had the skills to do this is dead. Travel becomes exceedingly rare. It's too dangerous and too costly with very little return on investment. After a generation or two, most salvage is used up. Tooling, infrastructure, buildings, and the like now far beyond salvage and repair. Any remaining people with knowledge of processes are long gone. Only the most fundamental knowledge for survival is passed on. Reading and writing become more and more obsolete, with only a few having time for these skill. No further need for electricity from solar, because anything that ran on it has become inoperable. After a few generations, most cities are unrecognizable ruins with only the sturdiest stone-type structures surviving the storms, winds, floods, and earthquakes. Almost everything made of metal has decayed to dust. Any stories of "times before" are past on mostly through oral stories or traditions that become more muddied and meaningless with every generation. After a few hundred years, almost all signs of the former civilization have been buried or swept away. And after 12,000 years of surviving wars and everything else life throws at us... maybe, just maybe, humans might make it back to the point we are today. It's likely been hundreds of thousands of years, maybe even millions, since humans have managed to get back to the point where we are today And maybe one of these next times, if we're lucky, we might have a colony off somewhere in the stars that can live to tell the tale to the next round of survivors if their paths should ever happen to cross. Most of this is GLP 101, but it was interesting watching this coworker's mind break after driving these thoughts home. If this civilization falls...it wont be ABLE to rise again. The easily accessible natural resources that were used to build it are becoming more scarce and harder to access ... Think metals,oil, gas, coal, etc. So if it falls, and if civilzation were to rise again, it would be unlike it is now. And if it falls due to cascading natural disasters, the chemical and radiation fallout could change the natural world thru mutation into species that only can be imagined. very clever and very accurate well spoken! We assume that human progress will mirror the rise of our current civilization. That fossil fuels will be discovered first, then electrical generators...etc. We don't think about man finding a completely different power source. Like how Edgar Cayce's story of Atlantis, show them discovering a source of wireless power involving crystals. Our reliance on fossil fuels comes from the greed of capitalism. When one resource shows to be profitable, money squashes any possible competition. We have not advanced that much in our time. We are still using internal combustion engines in our vehicles which were first used in 1876...143 years ago!. Even our nuclear power plants are nothing more than complicated "steam engines". Scientific insight will come to man with the materials that he has available to him. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 76959272 United States 06/26/2019 10:12 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I find it ironic that people will eat this up with no proof, but not believe what was spoken of in ancient texts that speak of the creation of the world. Historically speaking, one of the biggest proofs of the the biblical narrative is the existence of the land and peoples called Yisrael. So many actual places we can physically go to that were mentioned in the ancient texts. I can take you to the Mount of Olives, Euphrates River, Kush, Ashur, Mitzrayim, the split rock were the children of Yisrael camped, the Yarden River, Temple Mount, Valley of Meggido, Lebanon, etc. Let alone ALL of the archeological proof, from coins to bones of giants, etc. And by the way, most of the "churches" are full of shit and NOT representing the Torah Messiah, but a false version of babel, aka sun worship and the mystery religions of nimrod. |

A more spiritual approach can be researched at rudolfsteineraudio.com He has somewhat of a different take. We have had similar hardware aka bodies, but our conciousness has and is evolving that is why you see grand old civilizations working as a hive mind to create elaborate monuments... conciousness is always moving to the individual that is where we are at now.
