Hi Totoro, I think that some animals can reincarnate, but don't know the rules on that. Long, long ago, in my Theosophy days (and also going by other occult sources), the idea I enbibed was that the members of different species/types of animals (in their wild state) were, in general, merely...

Hi Totoro, I am familiar with the Gospel of Thomas, and especially like one saying (that I believe speaks to reincarnation). However, I don't think it can be exalted over the rest of scripture. The tone is different, but I generally see it as being something that can be harmonized with the...

I have decided that one of the things that I and others need to be doing is simply posting more often. After 10+ years the board is not as central to me as it was once, but that is no excuse for letting it die. I am trying to stop by more often and post when I read rather than just look and...

Hi Sakamoto Ryoma, This is a very interested "snippet" memory. Brief, but seemingly very vivid and memorable. And, to me at least, the woman and her smile seem to be the focal point of the memory. It makes me wonder whether this is a preparatory flashback, possibly presaging a coming renewal...

Hi Frerotte, I will be 72 in December, so we are from the same generation and era, and also in close to the same stage of life. So much has changed since we were young. However, despite the changes in culture, it is still the same old world with all of its beauties and trials. Sometimes I...

Hi Totoro, I for one am 100% behind you doing this. I think you would be great at it! Also, though no one has mentioned it, only option "4" would preserve one of the most important parts of this board (for me at least): knowing, conferring, and sharing with like-minded people what I and they...

Hi Cryscat, I have seen sites of this type before, often with different websites having different regional flavors in terms of famous local hauntings, etc. The book cited by me above is more of a textbook. Actually, it reminds me of the casebooks we used in law school, with different cases...

Re: Ghosties and ghoulies and things that go Bump in the night! In terms of the foregoing, I recently ran into a book that I found extremely interesting. There you will find plenty of ghosties and quite a few bumps in the night, but no ghoulies to speak of. It is not a frightening book at...

Hi Baro-san, Agreed in terms of the possible (and actually probable) "comet" explanation. But it is mostly probable at this early stage because we have never seen a giant interstellar craft before, while we have seen plenty of comets. So, at this distance, it is definitely more probable based...

For those interested, here is a summary by Scientist Avi Loeb of the "Dark Forest" paper by him and two others in regard to 3I/Atlas and its behavior, trajectory, etc.: https://avi-loeb.medium.com/is-the-interstellar-object-3i-atlas-alien-technology-b59ccc17b2e3 Of course, this could all just...

Cheer up everyone! It may not be an interstellar comet or an interstellar ark, but a mammoth hostile craft sent by aliens to destroy us :eek:--...

Well, if that’s the case you might as well give me the summary. (Preferably by PM). 😁

Hi Baro-san, I'm going to message you with my reply. I don't want to give the AI any further clues, and I am hoping that our password protected private messages are beyond its reach (for the moment anyway). Cordially, S&S PS--I may be paranoid thinking it might scan this board for clues...

Hi Baro-san, This is a follow-up from my last. I am still trying to understand where AI can help, and what its limitations are. So, for example, AI could (at least to my satisfaction--having looked at the results) nail a Vedic astrological chart that helps me to understand myself and my...

Hi Baro-san, Nice analysis. The most interesting thing to me was that I actually agreed (for the most part) with the astrological analysis of . . . me, which ultimately comes from the same (or at least a similar) esoteric/traditional vein as the various tropes related to the solitary male vs...

Hmmm. My experience with ChatGPT was generally positive as long as I asked very specific questions, though it was so positive at times that it left me feeling a bit cautious. Likewise, it could at times be a bit strange. On the positive side, I found its initial astrological analysis of my...

The predictions for our planet are, as might be expected, far more grim: "what would happen if 3I/Atlas struck earth?" Although it's important to stress that Comet 3I/ATLAS poses no threat to Earth, if a celestial body of its estimated size (around 4-5 kilometers or 2.5-3.1 miles in diameter...

Here are some updates regarding what would happen if a body this size struck Mars or Earth courtesy of Google AI. First for Mars: "what would happen if 3I/Atlas struck mars?" Even though Comet 3I/ATLAS is not predicted to impact Mars, if it were to strike the Red Planet, the consequences...
