Someone claiming to be an inter-dimensional galactic commander is already clearly suffering from a delusional mind state.
How would you KNOW? I see that you have used an ad-hominem instead of responding to the content.
Well, at no point is there any evidence presented to support the assertion he is an inter-dimensional galactic commander and ALL cases so far of people claiming to be inter-dimensional beings, space aliens, gods, angels, demons, etc. etc. have also failed to be able to support their own claims and are usually the result of either inherent mental illness, or drug-induced psychosis, such as chronic amphetamine abuse, which is known to induce a condition called 'amphetamine psychosis'.
So, as far as 'how would I KNOW'? I think it is pretty fucking safe to say that, until your 'galactic commander' can actually offer up valid evidence of his inter-dimensional state of being, he's just another nutter.
Cryptodevil, please consider Nagel's assertion that materialismthe idea that everything can be explained (eventually) in terms of physicsactually fails to do just that. Nagel always backs up his assertions; how about you?
Nagel insists that . . . On its own terms, materialism cannot account for brute facts. Brute facts are irreducible, and materialism, which operates by breaking things down to their physical components, stands useless before them. There is little or no possibility, he writes, that these facts depend on nothing but the laws of physics.
Ok, firstly,
Nagel is a fucking philosopher, which is one step shy of being an astrologer. It ain't science, it is supposition.
Secondly, are you even reading what you are posting to see if it stands any chance of offering up anything of substance in your attempt to rebut my dismantling of your illusions? "Nagel insists . . ." is not a valid route towards supporting your position. You, like BADecker, also repeatedly insist things to be how you assert them to be, which is not at all the same thing as actually providing for either an objectively reasoned position, nor evidence.
What exactly are these 'Brute facts'? Simply stating that somebody is, like, super-clever n'all, does not mean everything they say is a fact.
That's called an appeal-to-authority fallacy, whereby you claim something to be correct simply because somebody who is seen as an authority on a subject says it is correct. That's not a reliable way to ascertain anything as being factual.
As for this:
I suggest you reference Journal 21, Chapter 3 and Journal 31, Chapter 13;
I propose the straightforward idea that God has come to speak with you and I through these Journals..
My proposal is modest; if this thread would but read, the truth about man and god would be known.

Because I bring you that which is offered about your globe?? I don't have to go forth into the "universe" to find invisible stories to lay on you--if these be LIES--WHOSE LIES ARE THEY?? I AM BUT AN INVESTIGATIVE REPORTER!! SO BE IT.

http://www.phoenixsourcedistributors.com/PJ_12.pdfA rehash of other's opinion and interpretations is worthless. This is precisely why I give none of my scribe's opinions and always can back up statements with facts.
Excellent opportunity to get our material forth, however, for controversy of evil with truth is excellent for Aton does not often become faint at heart!

http://www.phoenixsourcedistributors.com/PJ_12.pdfWhy do you send correspondence and messages to me (and you did so), unless you want a response? Further, did you expect me to sit and feed you back the lies simply because you assume "THIS RECEIVER" TO BE UNINFORMED AND PLAYING THE SAME OLD GAME OF "DUPE THE PUBLIC"?
I'm going to be honest with you here, Jag, if you believe that this collection of bizarre assertions is anything other than a clear symptom of mental illness, then you are badly mistaken. None of the above actually says anything. It is a collection of odd statements and I don't know what you thought it actually says, but it doesn't serve your case in any way whatsoever.
Skepticism of psychic phenomena is based more on a religion of materialism than on hard science. That is why you use an ad-hominem attack against both Hatonn and I.
Wrong, skepticism of 'psychic phenomena' is based on the fact that it has never survived critical analysis. You know all those claims about NDE's such as when a woman saw something on a top shelf? There's a reason why no objective report exists on that, because it didn't happen. In fact, there have been studies where items were placed on a high shelf in an operating theatre, a hotbed of claims towards OBE's and NDE's concerning people saying they had floated out of their physical body and not a single event occurred where a patient who claimed to have risen up to the ceiling in the operating theatre actually saw what these items were. Do you know why? Because their experience was derived from what their brain created for them as being the operating theatre, not what actually was the operating theatre.
STOP honoring evil
If you want to know GOD
You have a good chance of proving to yourself that God exists if you get married.
YES, You stand a good chance of proving to yourself that God exists if you get married!
Here is a guide!
http://marriagemissions.com/navigating-stages-of-marriage-marriage-message-255-2/Pascal would suggest to you to get married so that you might become a Christian. LOVE is real, and anyone can prove that to themselves as well!
Pascal's Wager doesn't inform us as to which god we should be worshiping and, as we know, worshiping the wrong god can be catastrophic for your soul, amirite?!!! LOL. So the 'correct' response to Pascal's Wager is not to worship any of them.
BTW, I'm married, but we had a secular ceremony, does that mean I don't get to prove to myself that your god exists? What about all the people who get married through other religions, you know, the 'wrong' ones?
Philosophical explanation > scientific explanation 100% of the time.
Empiricism is merely a subset of philosophy. Where empirical/scientific evidence contradicts itself, philosophy and/or mathematics is needed to resolve the contradiction. Science has no built in mechanism for reconciling contradictory empirical data. And more generally, Philosophy is entirely responsible for allowing scientific exploration in the first place. Without philosophy, science is entirely useless (because it axiomatically wouldn't exist).
