Been reading about Scientology on the net recently and was wondering what others thought about it? It includes the concept of ‘silent birth’ which has been exaggerated and hyped in the press. Apparently, it’s just about keeping as quiet as possible, not entirely. Wives aren’t screaming obscenities at their husbands and nurses aren’t yelling “push! […]

Am feeling disheartened today, things haven't been going so well lately. Have been attempting to maintain an alternative lifestyle away from the stresses of the 9-5. I used to travel to work early in the morning via public transport and would get so anxious/flustered, I'd break out in an itchy lumpy rash. I'd sit under […]
“The following are some common — though by no means universal — beliefs found among New Agers: 1. All humanity—indeed all life, everything in the universe—is spiritually interconnected, participating in the same energy. “God” is one name for this energy. 2. Spiritual beings (e.g. angels, ascended masters, elementals, ghosts, and/or space aliens) exist, and will […]
I suggest the meaning of life is to have meaningful connections or interactions with other human beings which also enables you to understand who you are as a person. Well, either that or…………42.

The Internet, One Giant Brain? Recently, I have been thinking about how the internet is like a giant mass of consciousness. I have increasingly added my thoughts here and there, either via forums or weblogs. And also driven creativity and passion into my websites, which gives me a euphoric buzz.

I came across this interesting debate: "I have been reading a lot recently about the life of Jesus, I wont bore anyone with the theological arguments, but I have come to believe that Jesus was just an man, not the divine son of any god. I think he was a very wise person that understood […]
I watched the Ch4 Documentary about ‘The Falling Man,’ on thursday evening with tears in my eyes, particularly when I heard the testimony of Jack Gentul (highlighted below). I remember seeing the pictures on the BBC news in the early morning, but don’t remember them mentioning anything about the 6-7% who jumped from the burning […]
“I’ve just watched ‘The Day The Earth Stood Still….’ featuring the silver android, who lifts his visor to zap weapons / soldiers into oblivion. Yes, I’m young, never seen it before. The film was released in 1951, the year after my mum was born. I’ve seen the kid who played Bobby in a few Doris […]
What The Bleep We Know? Subtitle: Growing Old Gracefully, Falling In Love, Human Evolution etc. I just watched "What the bleep do we know?" and I thoroughly enjoyed it. In fact, it made me feel all warm and tingly inside. (no rude jokes, please) I wanted to focus on the concept of age-ing. Obviously, I […]
