@star ark  Bicameral Mind theory actually makes sense.. You can also look up 'Alien hand syndrome'

'Alien hand syndrome (AHS) is a condition in which a person experiences their limbs acting seemingly on their own, without control over the actions'

There is something called corpus callosum in our brain which connects left brain and right brain. When two hemispheres are surgically separated, it is almost like there are two people in the same body, My left brain can make decisions that my right brain is not aware of and vice versa. Once I read about this, my whole perception of consciousness changed.

There are things which are not certain yet. But human beings have a tendency to avoid uncertainty by unconsciously adding their own explanations to fill in the gaps.

Even if you go through anecdotes and decide to trust just anecdotal stuff, you will still find that all authentic masters discouraged in any interest in paranormal. Go through Patanjali Yoga sutras and he himself says these things are distractions and trap you. 

According to Patanjali, we all have psychic powers that we haven't tapped into yet. Those powers are a distraction on the road to enlightenment. If I had powers, I would keep them a secret. If I was enlightened, I would keep it a secret. I like to blend in with everyone else.

B-b-but baby....it wasn't me .... it's alien hand syndrome....

Plus, there is already a significant dogmatic spirituality present, might as well go full on theocratic control over it...right?

On distractions, I'd have to agree, all this focusing on questioning some others dream of reality is just a distraction from inquiring into the only dream of reality.

We might have to crack down on New Ageism a bit more in the future. I'll be keeping my eye on it. I'm just giving you guys fair warning so you don't scream and holder "censorship!" if we start cracking down. The point would to be keep this place free of BS and distractions.

Yeah, way too many distractions on our very serious, never-ending journey to become enlightened.

Heck... let's block, ban the lot.

Believe it or not I gain a lot by participating on the Forum.  It is what YOU make of it.  Let's not play the role of the victim.

In awareness I awakened to existence 'before' the big bang... I am fulfilled by the potential of it in my being.
