I don't think anything we do based on our mind is a coincidence... it has direct purpose...cause and effect... action and reaction

Science and spirituality can become one... I think eventually it will as more answers come to pass

Its nice to see others always asking why and how it is the ultimate question which science is based on.

Read and learn from everyone. Take what they say or write... think about it and compare it to your own experience. Then you can dismiss it, or accept it or take part of it and leave the rest... but you are better off for taking the consideration as it serves to let you understand your fellow man.

No sense in arguing or name calling or being a troll... hopefully those that do will reflect on themselves and why they do it and will eventually do things to help themselves.

Learn and grow both scientifically and spiritually. If it wasn't for spirituality we would not have science as the gist of both is to answer that fundamental question why.

The present reality is what we know...We learn from the past... we either look forward to or dread the future based on what happens in the present. You can't change the past but you can do things to put yourself in a better place in the future.

Key is to keep an open mind on everything. Those that don't are limited based on their internal dogma and will slow in their progression.

I have been very impressed with the intellectualism and knowledge and openness on this site. Some smart ass mofo's have posted on here.

You also have to consider the personalities that this site and what DMT is going to draw to. Its not for the weak. It is some heavy shit. Some are more experienced and more knowledgeable than others, but we are all here because of an underlying theme of wanting to talk about our experiences, learn more about the unknown and learn from each other.

I think materialism is basically a part of desire based on social pressures which we use this site to get away from. (I am not talking like this to the neighborhood moms) We are all subject to it no matter what if we want to live comfortably in this day and age, especially if you have children and in turn... responsibility to others. I think its better to accept it than to fight it and really something I have learned to not worry about.

Discussing materialism as it relates to reality and consciousness well... ultimately everything is real because we experience it. If not we wouldn't... I think its that simple. The key board I am typing on, the chair I am sitting on are very real, they are made of material and kept together by electromagnetism. They are not a subject of our imagination because we are real. We wake up every day and experience things, some good some bad, but we learn from those experiences and take them to form our beliefs, our attitudes, our thoughts, and our words.

Bottom line is to be comfortable with yourself, form your beliefs from your own experiences and do the best you can in life. Learn, love and be happy is the best advice I can give... Internal struggles will only cause you to worry and create dilemmas. Its up to you to change your thoughts in the current situation in what you are caught up in. External struggles I have found are just not worth the aggravation, as people causing those struggles are on a different level than you based on their experiences. That's why we are all different and that is why we all have our own thoughts and belief systems.

Ultimately I think we realize that we are all brothers and are brought together via a common theme and curiosity. Those that dismiss one side or the other are just narrowing their own perspective and creating limits for themselves... As Hiyo Quicksilver said... we are all on the same team...

Love to all... sorry if I rambled too much
