Hippy dippy crystal gripping bullshit.
Is this really badly written Captain Planet fanfic?

It's just a series of ideas. It's not about believing it, it's about being able to think about it intelligently which is a useful exercise in itself.
Of course, the Archon fellow travellers on this site want to shit all over everything they don't actively believe, like reductionist materialism. But let them try to fag up everything with their bullshit. They voted this link up regardless, and even the misleading headline will inspire some to click on it. And maybe, just maybe, someone will even think about it. So the actions of the fools work against themselves, even as they attempt to sabotage the ideas of their betters.

Here you stupid fuck:
What I said was that you had a point that Phillip K. Dicks drug addled musings sound a lot like the theories of modern physicists.
burntman: Philip K. Dick said some incredibly stupid things. Being wired out of his skull, didn't do much for his grip on reality.
czarangelus: IN a world where reputable scientists can ask, is the universe a four dimensional crystal growing in a five dimensional superfluid, I think you're being radically unfair.
burntman: touche. You do have a point.
That was the fucking conversation. That is a lot fucking different from "forced to admit that the otherkin phenomenon could be a valid cultural interpretation of shamanic experiences."
So if you are going to spew your purile bullshit, at least make sure that you get your references fucking right.
Heres the complete thread since you now seem to think that making shit up is a perfectly valid stance.

You accuse me of supporting your half arsed musings and now are all taken aback when I point out that I didn't?
Well here's a news flash, your ideas are that stupid that I do find the very idea that I've somehow acknowledge them as anything more than the purile shit they are as very offensive.
And no, it's not my "brand of reductionism", rather it's that you submit ideas that properly belong to a precocious teenager as if they were some kind of fantastic revelation. I hate to break it to you, but Chopra, Crowley, Hubbard or whichever charlatan of the month you're espousing is not going to impress anyone. We have fucking google, nothing of that sort is arcane or obscure anymore. The gospel of thomas has a wikipage.
Jesus, popstars are talking about the Kabalah, and you're still acting like there's some sort of hidden mystery or revelation to be found in all this shit.
You're just a fundie looking for a dogma. And that's ok, but if you tell most people about it. Well they're going to call it stupid. Because it is.

ah yes. As I recall, Chopra, Crowley, and Hubbard were really big on the otherkin. I think I remember that portion of the Call of the 7th Aethyr.
The fantastic revelation doesn't come from espousing the ideas of others. The fantastic revelation comes from within. I don't really have a life that's full of many miracles, apart from the everyday ones. On the other hand, I'm not so desperately void of it that I have to crap all over it when somebody else interprets it differently.

You just don't seem to get it do you? Pluralism does not suddenly mean every idea has to be accepted as valid. Stupid ideas remain stupid ideas. And people can recognise them as such.
Now what you are calling for is for the suspension of our critical faculties when you present your ideas. There's a term for that. It's called faith. And if your going to do that, well shit, you might as well stick to bible. Even if no more rational, it at least has the benefit of familiarity to most people. Alternatively if you really have to be controversial embrace Islam. But trying to create a religion from the detritus of human history is not only incredibly silly, its not even novel. Can it be done. Sure Gardner did it with wicca. Can you sell that shit to others on the internet? Well you've seen the general reaction when you present your ideas. Why do you think that is? We're all closed minded and you alone somehow have opened yourself to truths? An open mind, does not mean a mind free of critical thought.

So you are, essentially, a religiofascist. Belief, or assumptions taken from direct experience, only have any value if you can convince other people that they're true. So tell me something.
How many people have to believe that there's an invisible goddess with a thousand arms of compassion before it becomes magically true? A million? Ten million? How many people have to believe in a god with the head of a jackal, or a horndog and jealous lightning deity, or a man who died on a cross and then came back to life? Since all that matters is getting everyone to agree with you, what is the exact figure I should strive for before I'm allowed to take the experiences of myself and others seriously?

How on earth can anyone have a rational conversation about subjective events? If I claim that when I meditate, my trousers turn purple and my cat plays the trombone, then I deserve hearty skepticism. When I justify the fact that no one else can see this by explaining that I have the soul of a Mallee Scrub fowl then you can move on to outright derision. Any -ology that relies on completely subjective phenomena is, in my opinion, substituting faith for empirical evidence.

I think the major difference is that the creationists et al. are parroting things they read in a book or that pastors taught them. They aren't based, at all, on a gnostic or numinous experience. That ought to be the fundamental distinction. "Did you see it." And you know, people ignore John Keel all day and night. I guess he was just a liar. So are the otherkin.

oh bullshit, how dare you now go and deride their experiences as not real. When they get "drunk on the spirit" or "feel the lords presence", you don't think they're also having intense emotional experiences?
And as for parroting things out of books, what is it that you think your doing when you post quotes from the gospel of thomas or psuedo-kabbalahism, like in this article? Or when you refer to Sophia or Ein Soph. Do you really think that's any different from quoting any other biblical text? Really?

Of course they're having a numinous experience. That doesn't mean they're interpreting it correctly, however. People who stick rigidly to a predefined framework find themselves trapped when confronted with what ought to be the equally valid experiences of a Sufi.
In a way it's different; in a way it isn't. One thing I will say about the Nag Hammadi texts is that they're virtually useless unless you were raised on the Bible. In a lot of ways, they're an exegesis of and rebuttal to the Bible. I think it would be a mistake to believe that the creation account of On the Origin of the World or The Hypostasis of the Archons is true to the exclusion of facts about evolution. I think we're being provided with metaphors for a process that the human mind is not capable of apprehending. They're true, in that they're a way of communicating truth. They're false, in the way that the light in her eyes does not, in fact, dazzle like the stars.

She originally called herself an 'indigo mom' and claimed that her kid was "the next step on the evolutionary scale" or some such shit. Look how she handled it when she eventually had to admit that licking windows isn't really a superpower. Now she's on her anti-vaccine crusade and saying autism can be cured by chelation therapy. How many kids are going to get hurt by this shit still remains to be seen.

Philip K Dick took his son to a hospital based on advice from a pink beam from space. Do you think he's lying about that? That's stupider than anything.
