Past Lives

[Мастер]

Standing on my head gave me a headache, so I turned my monitor upside down instead.

Well that won't work, all the electrons fall out...

[Superluminal]

Well, if being up side down on head won't work, and turning the monitor up side down won't work, I guess I'll never know the secret of what umop ap!sdn means!

[Lance]

Are you kidding or do you really not have it yet?

[spoiler][/spoiler]

[Superluminal]

Lance, the typing under the mouse over was upside down, how do expect me to read it if it's upside down. Is there something wrong with your PC? That its typing things upside down?

[Lance]

It took me a long time over on BABB way-back-when to figure out what "umop ap!sdn" was. Then one day it just hit me. Since then I have though it's one of ther best usernames I have ever seen. Still do...

And I no longer have to read it as:

oo-mop ap-si-den

[umop ap!sdn]

Since then I have though it's one of ther best usernames I have ever seen.

Why thank you! :)

And I no longer have to read it as:

oo-mop ap-si-den

Why not? That's exactly how I pronounce it! :D

[Superluminal]

I thought it would be a good name for a Star Trek alien character. I had always wondered about the avatar, which one is umop? :P

[Lance]

You're quite welcome. :)

Why not? That's exactly how I pronounce it! :D

I guess I just see it as "upside down" now. Ever since I "got it" I guess that's how I see it.

[umop ap!sdn]

I had always wondered about the avatar, which one is umop? :P

The human is. :D The cat is my Punky.

[ToSeek]

I had always wondered about the avatar, which one is umop? :P

The human is. :D The cat is my Punky.

This is what she really looks like (the human, not the cat).

[Lance]

This is what she really looks like (the human, not the cat).

Wow...

Umop cleans up good.

[Superluminal]

I could go woo woo for that. 8)

[umop ap!sdn]

If only I actually did look that good. :D Oh and ToSeek you could only mean me 'cuz Punky is a boy kitty. :)

I am a believer of past lives. I believe I have experienced one myself.

Have you read "New Life Science" by Rubert Sheldrake? Morphagenetic Fields explain why people feel they have lived past lives. It also explains why two people thousands of miles apart often invent the same identical thing and whomever wins the race to the patent office gets credit.

[Halcyon Dayz, FCD]

It would explain it if it were true.
Which is very debatable.

Yo, skeptics here! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morphogenetic_field

debatable but not very.

Look here: http://www.co-intelligence.org/P-moreonmorphgnicflds.html

you should read the book and the experiments. I could list them here and site my references. Or you could read the book and do it too.

gee, wikipedia sounded prety hostile in that write-up dontchathink?

Although Sheldrake had talked about the theory in the 1970s and had become somewhat well known, the "big release" occurred when the theory was presented in book form in 1981 in A New Science of Life. Interestingly the book does not provide any examples from the problem that actually led Sheldrake to the theory in the first place: the theory was offered as an explanation of plant and animal development, but no actual direct evidence along these lines was offered.

That is just silly. Do you need direct evidence that radio frequencies exist? It is the same sort of thing.


how is it that mice from one country will learn a trick faster if the same species thousands of miles away had learned the trick.

or each human generation learns faster than the previous (or does it?)

anyway, he sounded convincing in a radio interview I heard him in in the 70's

Are you just going to blow it off because of what wikepeikea says?

It sounds to me as if they are getting accustomed to shooting down easier targets like Scientology.

In case you missed it. Look here: http://www.co-intelligence.org/P-moreonmorphgnicflds.html

I think Marconi nailed that one.

Experimenter's bias?

Better education?

Many people sound convincing.
They usually don't agree with each other though.
