FFR & The Human Potential

Re: FFR & The Human Potential

Right, I see where I messed up. Supernatural forces in general, then, do exist, in my opinion, regarding an animal's ability to use reason. I know we are still really primitive and all, but there are certain properties of the mind that diverge completely with the brain.

Allow me to express a theory I thought of about a year or two ago, of how humans possess a parallel self which exists in a paradimensional world. That parallel entity is a supernatural entity that exists outside the boundaries of physical comprehension. This is what causes "free will". Like you said, the "mind" (lets use this term to label this parallel entity) is a supernatural force that diverges completely with the physical brain.

However, there needs to be a link between this supernatural force and the physical body. There are a few things that support this idea. Dreams: the expression of the mind inside the physical body. Imagination: the split-second influence the mind has during the intense activity of the physical body. Through both of these, you can sense what the mind wants you to sense, whether it be sight, sound, etc.

You can go all over the place with this idea, and I never thought it was a bad idea either. The only reason I dropped this, was because it went nowhere else.

The mind itself is supernatural, but the body it controls is not. Hence, the mind cannot cause any supernatural events through the body, unless if the mind makes the body supernatural as well. Hence, ghosts and spectres are minds without bodies. That is why ghosts and spectres are considered supernatural. Whether the existence of ghosts are generally accepted or not is up to majority, but I myself believe in them. There are direct proofs of their physical influences in everyday life.

I hope you read my edits =)

I need to sleep now. Interesting conversation... but I will be back at around 4AM EST.

I can write a 400 page novel about both theories... trust me. Tackling every flaw I find, depicting every aspect of the theory. =) I find these conversations fascinating above all else.

Re: FFR & The Human Potential

You really should write that stuff up. I used to rant about stuff like that too. Got to like 60 single space pages, but the ideas were still really incomplete. I left them back home, wish i still had em ><

Re: FFR &amp; The Human Potential

How about we keep the pessimistic views on humanity bull **** out of this thread. The last thing I want to see when viewing an innocent thread is how our species sucks.

EDIT: Not to trot on the intelligent conversation, but seriously.

EDIT: lol i didn't see this one:

I am not saying humans will be able to predict the future using science. Humans are stupid. No can do.

EDIT: The poll is misleading,
"Is there an invisible skill cap that everyone could achieve?"
There really is two questions, can everyone achieve a certain skill level, and is there an invisible skill cap.

Re: FFR &amp; The Human Potential

I think this simply goes back to the aspects mentioned earlier, every person has a physical limitation where they can only improve to a certain level. Eventually, each person has their "peak".

Pessimism is as equal in value as optimism. I'm very certain that no one can be absolutely neither.

I may sound pessimistic, but I don't see why I can't state my opinions on the subject. Are you saying that humans can transcend the laws of physics then? If so, be able to control it?

I believe my points are valid interpretations of my surroundings and knowledge.

If we consider humans and humans only, I agree with Halogen, but the same concept can be applied to the rest of the universe.

"It is a good thing that we (humans) exist." This is optimism.
"We (humans) can do anything." This is stupidity.

"We (humans) can do anything." This is stupidity.

That seems like a motivation technique, if anything at all. In no way should a quote like that be taken at face value.
So I do slightly agree.
