New ATS-Forum Request

I hereby request a new ATS Forum entitled "Consciousness and Reality" or "Metaphysics and Consciousness".

Why? Because on the Paranormal-Forum we keep being reminded that we are not to open threads about

Meditation
Lucid Dreaming
Parallel Universes
Other Realms/Dimensions
Consciousness
Occult-Science
Reality-Models.

I disagree that lucid dreaming, meditation have "nothing to do" with the paranormal forum.

I also disagree that these topics are moved to the BTS "Spirituality and Theology" section for the following reasons:

* Not much hardcore-discussion at BTS
* A Theology Forum is no place to discuss this stuff.
* The subject is important to many.


Thanks for considering this request.

I agree there are a lot of skeptics in the paranormal forum, but they are there to help you question what it is you are talking about.

I would love a 'Consciousness' forum though.

If there are any takers, I'd be more than happy to post there. Much of what I do post would be related to direct experiences with the study of consciousness, which is reality, and paranormal typically means things that are not for sure 'real.'

I wasnt talking about skeptics, which are fine with me, I was talking about Moderators who inform us that these are no topics for the paranormal forum.

So the idea would be ONE of these two things:

1. Either allow these topics in the paranormal forum

2. Or make a new forum on metaphysics, consciousness...etc. Afterall, thats where the real secrets are, right?

So MODS and Administrators...

what do you think? Wouldnt it be a good idea to either allow these topics in the "Paranormal Forum" or create a new one?

An excellent idea IMO.

Some of these are subjects I would like to discuss, despite being a novice, but I've yet to find a really good thread about these topics.

OK I haven't looked that hard, but if there were a forum dedicated to the subjects, I would be a frequent visitor and perhaps poster.

ATS, BTS, What would you like to see in the future?

Suggestions of this sort should be directed to the thread above. Or, feel free to submit a Suggestion to have the staff and Administration of ATS review it.

Thread closed.
