No worries. It's not opinion, it is the true nature of our existence. How could the universe function as multiple, independent conscious entities?
All mass is made of the same energy. If there were multiple separate conscious beings, there would need to be multiple types of energy, multiple universes. The universe is what comprises all of everything, it's in the name, universe. There is only one.

Again, this is where your logic is failing. You think what you feel inside is the truth, and science is wrong.
You did, but anyways, consciousness is not one person. We are not separate conscious entities, we are all one connected conscious being. The universe is comprised of one soul, which is why we are the universe, experiencing the universe from multiple points of perspective. I know science is different than spiritualism, that's why I said, there's two way to look at everything, with your worldly ego (through science, studies of this reality) and your conscious (through philosophy and spirituality). There is only one true working of our universe. People can create their own reality by believing else, but there is only one true way our universe functions. This is why so many cultures and religions implicate the same premises from spirituality. They are both reality. We're spiritual beings that use science to learn about our reality's universe.

I never said science is wrong, why do you keep missing that? They coexist. There is only one truth when it comes to spiritualism, just like science, which is why people of many different cultures reach the same conclusion. I thought quantum physics taught us that nothing really exists, everything is a creation of our mind, or a dream? I did not base my beliefs on that link, I found my beliefs within myself, in my conscious. The conscious is formulated off the knowledge of billions of men. There's not much point in debating if you aren't at least open to the possibility of spirituality. "All matter originates and exists only by virtue of a force... We must assume behind this force the existence of a conscious and intelligent Mind. This Mind is the matrix of all matter." - Max Planck

Spiritual wisdom would be the accumulative knowledge and understanding of our universe, also known as god. God isn't some bearded man sitting in the clouds, god is the universe. The universe, or god, created us. The universe, or god, forms our conscious and we are all one conscious experiencing our self from multiple points of perspective. Not sure what you were referencing as sky fairies, but there is significant evidence and probability that life exists elsewhere, meaning UFO sightings of today to be the same as what was once called angels.
Understanding of the universe is SCIENCE. Personal beliefs and feelings are spiritual wisdom, but they have nothing to do with reality - nothing you believe can affect another person, whereas gravity can affect others because it is science. By sky faeries I mean the "god" so many cultists believe in. Doesn't exist. Aliens probably exist (overwhelming probability based on math) but have they visited earth? Probably not. (I can provide a citation for those interested in the math). While I understand the basis of quantum mechanics, I'm not going to pretend to have studied it in depth. I do, however, see it bridging the gap between spirituality and science. The fact that an observer is needed to solidify energy into particles rather than a wave suggests our reality is created by our consciousness.
I believe quantum physics coincides with spirituality, as ego's view on the universe (through science) and consciousness's perspective (through philosophy and spirituality), respectively.
There is no gap between spirituality and science. Quantum mechanics is science. Spirituality is what you feel inside, and is not reality. You can't compare reality to non-reality. I think that is what's holding you up - you view your beliefs as reality. Spirituality is not feelings and personal beliefs. Spirituality is forming an understanding of the universe through philosophy. As I have said before, there are two ways to look at everything. Through the ego, via science and through the conscious, via spirituality. They are both correct and coexist naturally. God does exist, because the universe exists and the universe is god. The energy that makes up everything in the universe, as described by quantum physics, is consciousness, god, love, whatever you'd like to call it. Tell me, what is reality? Is what I feel inside not reality? Are dreams not real? Quantum physics states that an observer (conscious) is required to manifest particles, does this not indicate our reality is no more real than any other reality and does it not indicate we do in fact create reality within our mind? Was anything in the link I posted inaccurate? If so, please let me know.

Fortunately, I posted a link to quantum physics, not Illuminati.
And regarding 'Illuminati', sure, there's not some secret cooperating organization that calls them self the Illuminati, but there is a power structure controlling (or as we call, governing) humans. So, yes dark forces (ego) do have control over most of the world, for now.

I never asserted spirituality is science. We have a greater scientific knowledge of the universe, yes, they had a greater spiritual understanding of the universe. You can't dismiss their credibility simply because they existed long ago. Look at the ancient structures built upon our earth, the pyramids, monoliths, extremely complex structures that we would have difficulty replicating, even with the best technology. Since you're a scientist, what is quantum physics to you? They're long gone. Mankind has evolved exponentially since then. Technologically, yes. Humanity largely lost the spiritual wisdom we once had, and that is what is returning, this year.

Ancient Chinese, Mayans, Aztec, Incas, Hindus, Hopi and other societies, completely alienated from one another, all predict a new age will dawn at the end of this year. You're telling me your knowledge, surpasses the combined knowledge of our ancestors who clearly knew more about cosmology, spirituality and the universe than we do now?
Let's not forget the scientific evidence that reinstates this occurrence of singularity and even spirituality.
Let me add, I didn't believe in 2012 after reading up about it on the internet, I came to the conclusion myself, with some friends.
I'm curious, what research have you conducted to draw your conclusion? Is it nothing more than speculation?

Hey I bet your trip was great but to bad nobody told you that the thoughts in your head do not translate to reality.
And a personal thought do you really think the world is "waking up" spiritually or in any other way. I would think that very small population is woken up while the vaster and vaster majority has their eyes closed and brains shut off to the truth.
Yes, the vast majority is not yet awaken, this is changing. Those will succumb to the truth later this year. Other posters, leave the ridicule in the hookah lounge thread, if you're posting in here you must have a valid, logical argument other than insults.

So you're saying we're experiencing "exponential evolution" in technology (over what time period? compared to what?) and mankind has made that same exponential improvement (again: time period?), therefore an individual human being is able to ........ (help me here, please.)
I still find it hard to grasp your promising premise and the conclusions you draw from there.
Time is all relative to the amount of change that occurs in it. That's why for me and many people I know, time feels to be going faster. We've been evolving exponentially since our creation. An individual human is able to learn more about the world than ever before, quicker and therefor increase self awareness more than ever before, quicker. Humans must find this change within their self, it's happening to everyone, though some are more in tune with it than others. Humans are becoming smarter and rediscovering the true nature of our reality, which is that we make our reality in our mind. Hope that helped.

Why is it exponential evolution/growth?
With better technology and global communication, less time is needed for humans to communicate ideas. With technology's exponential advancement, comes humanity's increased awareness/consciousness. This is why many individuals are realizing the truth of our man-made society, or waking up. Thank you for asking questions, by the way, rather than rejecting the idea. Asking why is a key part in understanding.

[...] Humans have been evolving exponentially for some time now [...]
Needs clarification. Also, don't confuse mankind with single individuals. It takes individual organisms to evolve for an entire species to evolve. Just think about how much faster kids these days can text or type on a keyboard than some old folk. It's evolution. Life is constantly changing, we are constantly evolving, physically, mentally and spiritually.

It's odd that more people aren't eager to lend to me, seeing as I'm the only deposit taker that hasn't defaulted, and despite all the early accusations/presumptions, I still never scammed anybody. Please, the only person who views you as a "deposit-taker" is you. You're effectively just taking out pay day loans. No-one's going to lend you any serious money unless you can prove that you have a guaranteed income stream (such as wages or a government benefit), a viable business plan, sufficient assets to secure a loan, a co-signer, or a combination of these things. The fact that you haven't defaulted on small, short-term loans (in fact you've had to renegotiate the terms at times, and that's a red flag) is not an indicator of your ability to service large, long-term loans. the fact that you're asking for money for something different on a regular basis also undermines confidence in your ability to stick at anything over the long term - including paying back loans taken out for things which may no longer interest you. It's not at all odd that more people aren't eager to lend to you. Their reticence to do so is both predictable and justified. You've pretty much fucked up any possibility of borrowing large amounts here. Learn from the mistakes you've made this time around and don't make those same mistakes when you eventually seek funding elsewhere. And don't link back to your identity here in any way when you pursue funding elsewhere - doing so can only harm your chances of obtaining it. And the eight investors I've had. What makes you think a job is guaranteed income? What happens when you get fired or the company goes out of business? Government handouts, really? I wouldn't call 100 BTC loans small, by any means. Renegotiate the terms? How? By lowering interest rates for new deposits to increase sustainability? Dank Bank interest rates are only going down from here, there may be a point when I won't even pay interest, but people will deposit because they support what I'm doing. Let's not forget these facts: dank has borrowed and repaid over two dozen loans over the last year. Dank Bank has handled over 340 BTC and repaid 190 BTC in principles. All while offering mighty friendly interest rates. People have been calling me a scammer since I started asking for loans, based off nothing and amounting to nothing. How long until people accept I'm not?

I don't have time to save up money, I'm trying to get things done this year. It's odd that more people aren't eager to lend to me, seeing as I'm the only deposit taker that hasn't defaulted, and despite all the early accusations/presumptions, I still never scammed anybody.

Angel, that's like saying it's 2012, we're towards the end. Time is relative, the peak of this will be at the end of December, a lot has changed over the year but not like it will.
Repentance, time is an illusion, we perceive time as humans but it is not a real 'thing.' We only live in the present, here and now, we can't time travel because it'd change the present and there's nothing to travel. We compare rotations around earth's axis to give us an idea of how much time has passed. Everyday, more change happens than the previous day, as life is constantly changing and humans are constantly evolving. What would happen if more change occurred in one rotation than the last millennium? Would time became meaningless?
fgervais, did I say they weren't debt?
I just don't get why you wouldn't go through regular channels for a loan, haggling one here is just a bad idea when you add the usurious rates with the stupid high volatility of the currency (since you kept the debt in BTC). But this was pointed out previously. What's a regular channel for an 18 year old with no credit to get a loan? The OP explains how the loan is fixed to USD while adjusted for inflation.

You called spirituality childish stoner talk while it's the very basis of reality, I thought we were talking about that. But, regarding my life, playing guitar 5-8 hours/day is not doing shit, according to you. Following your dream, becoming a musician and spreading love, is not doing shit, to you. You are entitled to that opinion.
