Randolph,
Did you notice one thing? The Ask me oracle is not answering our queries anymore. We are answering each other. I think thats a degeneration of commitment on her part. Bad Bumblebee! :D

What you are doing in your mind during your vivid meditation is Visualisation of the Tantras. Now, Tantras dont deny the existence of the Soul, but their philosophy is based on the evolution of the Soul to power and freedom. Have you read MahaNirvana Tantra or, Tantra of the Great Liberation? There is a nice version translated by Sir John Woodroffe.

The mind is the group behavior of the neurons that make up the brain. If the properties of neurons and chemicals in the brain are fully accounted for along with how they interact with each other, then the mind becomes a quantitative science. Since we do not know all the all the properties of neurons or at least cannot fully grasp how they interact with each other then it only appears to go beyond quantitative science. That is only our failure to fully grasp what is going on.

Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.

We will probably eventually build a machine that can read thoughts. That could get us closer to "knowing" the mind. However, we still do not understand quantum mechanics. The mathematics work but as Fineman said "nobody understands quantum mechanics". We are no further along than we were sixty years ago. Until we can come up with a quantum theory compatible with Einstein's, the mind will always remain an enigma from a "scientific" standpoint. Until then, the goddess rules!

Neurons don't depend on our understanding to work the way they do. The mind is quantitative regardless of our understanding of the processes. Don't make the mistake of believing in Idealism. And by the way, we have made a lot of advances in quantum mechanics in the last 60 years.

I have another question. A sensible question.
A question that will tax your IQ to its very limits and stretch the
sinews of your knowledge to bursting point.

The question is this:
Given that God is infinite, and that the universe is also infinite,
would you like a toasted tea-cake?

I remember the show but was too young to really get into it.

I think you have self esteem issues if you think someone is better then you. We are all unique in one way or another. Someone might be more educated then me or make more money etc. Doesnt make them a better person then I am.

I suggest that this question requires considerable discussion with you over glasses of fine wine and plenty of tea cakes.

Well, you know the old saying "Don't look a gift horse in the mouth." I don't subscribe to that at all. I am much more of the persuasion; "Beware of Greeks bearing gifts." True altruism is very rare, and so I have to consider what the giver is wanting in return, whether they are aware of their expectations or not. First off; your 2 givens are nonsensical so I am instantly on guard since you have already placed unkwowable conditions on your offer. Then I have to ask; what is a toasted tea cake? So off I go to Wikipedia and they don't sound too bad.... so at least you aren't offering hagis or some other questionable delicacy. So then I have to wonder what your motive is. Are you just being polite and wish to commune with another over tea, or do you have some ulterior motive. Perhaps you crave my body and wish to do perform evil deeds upon my tender flesh. Or maybe the reverse is true. In any case I would probably accept since it might be interesting. Of course I would have my escape planned in case of need.

Aaah!
You're a waffles man.

Um, ulterior motive?
... yes.
Well you mentioned in your first post

So I wanted to see if it was true.

"I have had my IQ tested at over 6000....."

Well, that is true in one sense since the elevation here is 6286 feet above sea level.

Waffles? You bet! Everyone loves waffles......don't they?

I was wondering what do you think about life? Do you think there is more to life than waking up going to work, getting home to eat, have sex, etc. and repeat the next day? (Not including socializing and weekend with family and friends)

What is your philosophy in life? What makes you who you are? Do you help other because you care about them, or are you a selfish being seeking recognition? Do you think you are special, or do you sometimes feel flawed?

Do you ever feel like you are half of what you are? Like something is missing, or is there a duality to your person? What gender do you associate yourself with the most?

If you can answer any or all of my questions, I would appreciate it...

Thanks Sesame,
You are the first person that I have been able to share these ideas with. I have many books in eastern mysticism and have been meditating for ten years. I tried go get my wife interested but she refused. There are no gurus where I live so I have taken the path alone. Thanks for the references, I will check them out.
