1) you say suicide is bad, and you should not do it. what happens to a soul of a suicide and what penalties do those souls have placed upon them?
2) if true, does the vatican know of this knowledge of the soul collector?
3) is there from what you've learned only one earth reality as we know it, and not multiple parallel realties where the earth has similar outcomes. is there just one reality for the earth?
4) is there such a thing as area 51 in england?
thx for any answers

Nearly. John made the connection because the remote viewer was being warned away because it was not his time. The photo doesn't come from the moon, it is of the moon.
Did he say that? I did not hear him say that. It sounded to me that the remote viewer was warned away from the moon, not the object on the moon. Obviously the photo is of the moon. About this matter of remote viewing. That's another con job all together. That in and of itself discredits the theory from the start. There is no proof that it works. Just listen to Coast to Coast and Ed Danes. If you believe that stuff there may be no hope for you, imo.
John has credibility because of who he is.
Being somebody doesn't make you credible in your thinking or in your logic. To me it is illogical to make statements to the effect the alternative to the soul collector is that the aliens eat us. This is not good logic and I have read this from John Lear elswhere. Even in the absence of evidence I will look at the logic. No good logic, probably wrong, imo.
Sleeper has credibility because John believes him.
Sleeper has no credibility to me, imo. He has an answer for everything. He is a know it all. This is my opinion
None of this is fact, a leap of faith is required.
Sorry, I'm not into faith. I think more like a scientist these days. In days long ago I was willing to test and take the leap. Not anymore.
The size of the leap depends on your own belief.

A lot of what sleeper says, minus the ET connection is very similar to buddhist teachings.

And how else do you judge whether an anonymous poster could be considered credible, but through the content of their posts - no matter if they were written in PTS, ATS or BTS?
But hey. Don't take my word for it.

Yes, that is what you are saying - sleeper isnt credible because he has right wing veiws, or is there more to it? Are you saying he isnt credible because he is a capitalist?

His/her voting habits have little to do with anything. However in this case, his/her manner of reasoning certainly shines a light on the person behind the claims.

Suicide is bad in every religion on earth. Its certainly not "one of the bravest thing to do by anyone". A lot of what sleeper says, minus the ET connection is very similar to buddhist teachings.
If you don't personally believe in a soul, then naturally any ideas about the soul would seem crazy...
But to compare sleeper to Jesus is a little bit of a stretch, don't you think? I mean I know he presents himself as a teacher.. and quite well, but I don't see any recruitment posters up here anywhere... any he already said you don't have to drink the kool-aid...
so if you compare him to Jesus... you might have people believing in the second coming... wouldn't that through a monkey wrench into evolution?

I suppose in the end of the day, it doesnt really matter, what matters is that we keep learning and asking questions
How does the mind go from one body to another?
Think of it being like radio waves. The radio waves, which are not made up of words and music but energy at different frequencies, are transmitted, travel through space, and attracted to and picked up by the receiver from where they are broadcast as words and music. It is the same with the mind. At death, mental energy travels through space, is attracted to and picked up by the fertilised egg. As the embryo grows, it centres itself in the brain from where it later broadcasts itself as the new personality.

E.T of Sleepers imaginations do NOTHING. only feed more questions and more brainqashing, can't anyone see this.....
Zorgon wheher I believe in the soul or not is not the point,
We don't know what happens to the soul, only what other's want us to believe.... if the soul is real we will find out eventually. iIts like me saying I know EVERYTHING about Canada,
people to ask me questions about CANADA. What happen's then?? nothing.... I just have to keep coming up with more ideas etc, to keep it going. For two years now we ARE still in asking the same questions to Sleeper, but you know what, we are still waiting paitently for what? comfort...

Strange post. You seem to be making assumptions on my behalf, please refrain from doing so.
Let me put it to you this way. Could you please quote if you are going to make such statements. I have no idea what you are talking about. I don't make assumptions on anybody's behalf. I can't correct your misperceptions if you don't quote.
I merely responded to your question. The statements you pick up on are subjective.
Yes I know you were responding to my question. I have no clue to what you are talking about when you say I pick up on subjective statements.
The point of your posts seem to merely state that you aren't interested in what they have to say.
Now you are clearly confused. You mean if I disagree then I am not interested?
It's all a bit moot, there is no value to thread with this. Either follow it if you are interested or step out of the loop.
Excuse me? If I was being uninvited from your thread that would be one thing. Who do you think you are?

Worth noting that Buddhism doesn't believe in a Soul in the traditional sense most of us view it as. But it does believe that the core of your being carries over. I can probably find a way to explain that better. I'll post back on that later.

Originally posted by mind is the universe Well if We have less "Sleeper types" maybe we can learn to be aware rather than getting preached from someone who refuses to give any REAL evidence.....

As I understand it, in buddhism, because nothing is constant, and everything changes, there cannot be a "soul." That is, an energy that is you. What does carry through is the core of your being, your very person. But, since you are only what your life experiences have made you, those personality traits usually dont carry through.
I.e. You dont know your you, after death, because what made you you is no longer there, therefore your not you.
