As you know quantum physics has proved that consciousness has an effect on the physical world, for better or worse. Why not put ours to good use? What can it hurt? "There are more things in heaven and earth Horatio"

5. Is this one of those "New World Order" rah-rah thingy's????
we're supposed to buy into because we are so desperate for a 'solution' or 'peace' to problems that the NWO people created in the first place???

Nah, ain't buying....sorry.

11. I didn't mean to insult you, Mind_your_head. My apologies if I did.
I think that a person is either open to the idea that what we think can make a difference in the world, or they're not. Many people here are open to it, and many people here aren't. I suspect that you fall into the latter category, and, if so, of course you have the right to believe this. I, myself, fall into the former category.

What's being proposed isn't a new concept; it's been around forever. That's why I was laughing about the NWO comment.

Peace.

13. Yes, you DO insult me....and, in fact, you insult the intelligence
and common sense of practically everyone not paid to post on this board!

First, the UNPAID members of this board REALLY think/believe/KNOW that WE can make a difference....after all, that's why WE are here...continuing to learn, SHARE, and grow herewithin.

THIS sort of tripe is vomitous (it just REEKS of professional marketing - that can't pass the 'smell' test of being 'genuine'):

Imagine the 'silky voice say' .... 'welcome to MCI', or 'Welcome to XXX mortgage provider', 'Welcome to our automated robotic, no humans-at-home-grab-your-money-NOW-scheme-and-you'll-thank-us-for-it-later-scheme"

Tremendous changes have recently occurred in the United States, and they will continue to accelerate in a positive way.

WHAT??? I'll agree w/the 'tremendous changes'! The first 10 amendments to the Constitution of the United States of America have been mostly TOTALLY GUTTED! The statement that they will continue to accelerate in a positive way. is a falsehood. What has happened so far is NOT 'POSITIVE' and I refuse to be a party to any of this retrograde behaviour/thought!

16. Hey man, I'm simply forwarding what was sent to me - spending 10 minutes once a week visualizing
peace is not harmful. It may even be helpful. Visualization is used in many professional capacities. Please view this post in the light it was intended.

Sometimes the nice-lookin'-stranger who grabs your hand is just out to molest you as much as the chance that they're going to help you....

Know what I'm sayin'?

Ooga
booga
smooga (whatever)
...just sayin'.....

27. OK. I quote you...
"...you insult the intelligence and common sense of practically everyone not paid to post on this board!"

I think that a reasonable person would consider that to be an insult. Then you say "you're more twisted than a mobius strip!"

If someone said these things to you, would you not consider them to be an insult?

I'm not offended though, because you don't know me, and they're simply your opinion.

35. Well, if someone directed that to ME, I would HONESTLY
answer FIRST whether I was 'paid' or 'unpaid' to be on this board.....and then I would 'go from there'.

It makes 'all the difference'.

Peace,

37. Oh, if that was your question, I'm a computer programmer. Certainly...
unpaid for anything related to what I post on DU. I didn't understand that that particular issue was part of your concern. I have many friends here who will attest to that fact.

I'm just very spiritual and I tend to see the world a little differently than most people do. Hey, I work with engineers, so I'm used to being viewed as a little different. (But they all like me, so don't have a problem with my ouside-the-box way of looking at the world.)

I was my voting precinct's MoveOn.org Get-Out-The-Vote coordinator during the Kerry campaign. I've never been paid for anything except for my programming job.

Peace back at you.

10. Some "New World Order" people are on the dark side
and others are not. It's a right-wing LIE to conflate "globalism" (the kind the neocons advocate) with the universal ideals of spirituality. I hate to call it "New Age" spirituality but that's the term commonly used. I was confused literally for years by this false equivalence. In reality the two groups not only have nothing in common but are antithetical to each other.
