Later, it lists sixteen types of metals used to forge these "flying machines," yet we only recognize three today.
"...In ultimate peril, to save lives.
I have unleashed this weapon...
And now I can no longer restrain it!
But your command, my Lord, I shall fulfill immediately:
Here is the treasure and myself... the grass shall endure,
But the fruit within women—that is what it will kill!
It cannot act upon nothingness!
I am unable, my Lord, to hold back
The weapon I have set in motion.
Now it will strike at the embryos, oh Lord,
But I will carry out your will!..."

I just don't have the energy for 😉 😁 🙂
Jason Johnson4 said:Hey Karen Sanchez19, how can you tell if a fish in an aquarium is male or female?
Toss a crumb of bread into the tank. If she eats it, she's female; if he eats it, he's male. 🙂
Abraham Lincoln is a man. 😁
Jason Johnson4 said:Dude, you're talking absolute nonsense.
Jason Johnson4 said:Q: So, what exactly is the soul?
hollowtrucker: An eternal, living spark from the flame of God.
Q: And what about God?
hollowtrucker: God is the source and the ultimate destination of absolute consciousness and everlasting bliss.

So... basically, the soul is an eternal, living spark belonging to the flame, the source, and the final resting place of absolute conscious, eternal bliss. 😵 😁 😬 🙂
Karen Sanchez19 said:consciousness is the superior term
Everything will return to its original state... but the concept of "me" disappears.
The whole idea of seeking validation—proving that "you exist and act"—it all dissolves into pure BEING.
It is what it is... 🙄 🤣
And what exactly is God?
There is simply no other way for this to exist.😁
🤣
How many times must I hammer home that there is no such thing as "right" or "wrong"?😉
When thoughts vanish, nothing remains. Yet, everything exists.😁
How am I supposed to demonstrate my essence—my knowledge, my convictions, this mere performance—when there is absolutely NOTHING left to show?😉
It isn't reversible. You can't just swap the word "soul" for "consciousness" and call it even.😉
Soul and consciousness are nothing more than labels. Just words.😉
Go ahead. Try letting go of consciousness if you think you can.
Most Eastern spiritual traditions maintain that the starting point is the cessation of thought.
The typical American responds to that with: "Then what am I left with?"
An eternally living spark of the flame of Quincy.
That’s just your own thoughts talking...
Everything is wrong.
I'll believe it when you show me consciousness.
It's the opposite.
Karen Sanchez19 said:Karen Sanchez19, please. Who exactly do you think you're going to enlighten?
It’s simply because I am right.
This is, of course, proof of my thesis. If there is no consciousness or mind during deep sleep, how is it even possible to wake up alive?
Because the source of consciousness and life is the soul, which never sleeps (unless creation itself ceases, eventually).
When you wake from deep sleep, if you don't reload those memories, impressions, ego projections, and such, you would remain grounded in soul-consciousness. (Read: "pure mind" if you're an atheist)
What lies beyond my perception?
Quincy possesses absolute perception. Even if you may not know every single thought passing through your head; Quincy knows.
Furthermore, the soul is aware of every movement of the mind, the ego, and intelligence; though the reverse clearly does not hold true.
Certainly; our perception of God is limited; by no means the other way around.
Excellent! We established earlier that perception arises from the mind-sense connection; and that this connection is disrupted by signals from the false ego. Perception is something subordinate to consciousness; what is superior to consciousness?
The soul is an invisible concept to those lacking the capacity to sense it; yet, the soul remains an objective reality, independent of perception, mental constructs, or mere illusion.

It’s less about the argument and more about how Karen Sanchez19 didn't even care about their own take 😉 compared to certain others lurking here 😘
hollowtrucker said:Brilliant. I suspect the thought is analogous to a psychological concept—specifically regarding the sense of
sight; a thought is essentially a kind of mental stagnation.
What if animals—or at least large mammals—possess an ego, a personality, thoughts, and intelligence? It isn't even necessary to prove it; the point is that people love to use this supposed distinction to claim humans are conscious beings while animals are merely lower life forms.
I disagree.
Are you even aware of the totality of existence? Something can be non-existent within the sphere of perception, yet remain very much real in the grand scheme of things.
Humans are trapped by their own perceptions because our senses are limited. God exists on the other side of such dualities; in other words, God could "see" with ears or "sing" with hands...
Consider this analogy: for some people, an entire lifetime flashes before their eyes, and all they ever caught a whisper of was the concept of a soul...

Once you realize who is doing the perceiving, the real learning begins...
Once you realize who is doing the perceiving, that’s when the actual understanding begins...
hollowtrucker said:Exactly. So how is it that different individuals can be conscious of such vastly different perceptions?
That's true. But animals have perception too; do they have thoughts?
I "think" perception exists independently of thought. But nothing in this thread is easy to grasp; in fact, everything is difficult. We can only attempt to make it a little clearer.
