When I told my 80-year-old grandpa that I astral project by accident, he didn't really believe in the spirit world at the time. When I told him that he himself has a starry/glittery-looking astral body, that stands up dreaming (literally) while his physical body is asleep, you should have seen the look on his face --- the least thing he would except to hear from me (he says that I'm the most down-to-earth and sane person he knows) would be something like that. He sat speechless and stared into my eyes with a serious/raised eyebrows look when I talked about astral projection to him at his house. He then really started believing in the spirit world after our long talk about astral projection. Infact, he accepts the spirit world as a reality now, just like the birds outside. He said that I literally take all the fear out of death and dying.

Once, when I was talking to my dad about me astral projecting by accident, he said he could "feel" a surge of energy go through near his hands where his wrists are at -- like some unseen spiritual force was doing it (I guess he really does get this feeling somehow). My dad isn't superstitious or dumb, neither. He says he supposedly gets that energy sensation in his wrists whenever I talk about the spirit world or the Astral plane to him.

I once got in trouble in high school for writing on the bathroom walls (I was once a gang member). I got sent to the principals office by security, and I had to talk to a gang discipline officer at the high school in his own medium-sized office, about how gangs are bad, etc. Somehow, after all the anti-gang stuff, for two hours, we started talking about the spirit world, and he had the same surprised look as my grandpa did. He didn't think I'd believe in God. He said most kids at the high school are a little off or dumb -- but not me. He said I'm the most intelligent, sane and down-to-earth guy there, and kept pulling me out of classes weeks later to keep talking to me about my life, life in general, and the spirit world. He said that talking to me is ten times more powerful and a thousand times more worthwhile then all the parasitic school teachers' and students combined.

It's true.

Just a personal opinion here:

A video clip of a woman being punched is not appropriate on this site.  How is such a thing "entertaining" to anyone?  We should all consider what we assume is amusing.  What does it say about our culture?

love, blink

I'm entertained.  I think that's Chuck Norris and it's a clip from Walker Texas Ranger.  If that's the case, she probably is a bad guy and deserves to be punched.  A very funny show. 

If that's not right.  I dunno if I'm entertained or not.

Fair enough.  I admit I didn't get all the way thru the post before I got distracted onto the clip!  I guess the individual poster must determine if they mind overshadowing their own post with their signature pics and clips.  Also, the poster risks the various interpretations conveying meaning not intended.  Interesting point you make.

Yes that picture is awful, bad, distressing, inappropriate, unnecessary, horrifying trash.

Unless you are sending a sublime message that you are either a) a women abuser b) you are being abused c) you dont like woman d) you are an anti-abuse activist ...  i'd hate to think its just for the fun of it - that aint fun.

tell us ... im worried!

my picture is of Orion - it does look better bigger - lol.  Any objections though and i'll consider removing it.  Personally, i enjoy the graphics here it gives a sense of identity and colour.

Violence is violence and it has no place here on this forum.

I misunderstood your original post, or perhaps it does make a difference.  To make your indifference clear in the future, I suggest substituting a gender neutral term for "woman."  However, the average American person takes greater offense at hitting a woman versus a man.  (myself included, even though I don't think women are weak)

RyanParis,
Your last few posts just blow me away--thanks so much for sharing those! You've had some amazing spiritual experiences. And now to hear that your dad, grandfather, and even a guidance counsellor have shared your insights is even better. Thanks, RP, you made my day!
bets

I do see your point, Bud!

We may indeed go the way of the dinos...and what we may next inhabit may have to be an entirely different planet because this one will take so long to recover from the rather huge footprints WE are laying down here.

But all's well that ends well isn't it?....   b  

Anyway, didn't mean to hijack this thread, but it's been real!

right on blink!  I enjoyed it and glad we strayed off a bit.  Have a nice day

There goes the revenge again. When will we ever learn ???

Love, Mairlyn 

Hi people,
sometimes I have the idea if considering past lifes and progressing, isn't it possible that former victims should learn to stand up and get tougher, to not make it too easy for people who tend to abuse people in any form; isn't it, we shouldn't invite people by our passivity to rule us? I just thought it's maybe both sides have to learn, the perpetrator and the victim.
Spooky
