That's where your religion comes in. Opium of the people. I don't go around as if in a dream, but I do take notice of what I am shown and address it in a down to earth manner. You claim that you experience realities that nobody else can share... Dream on, as they say.

I wouldn't be so stupid as to get hooked on illegal drugs or mushrooms for that matter. That's where your religion comes in. Opium of the people. People hardly ever give the full quote 'religion is the opium people, the hope of a hopeless world.'

but long or short edition of the quote its spot on people are much more compliant if they are allowed to dream a little of a better life even if its after death and there is no proof plus the quote was in context of the conditions of the time and those condition were for many totally dire a living hell.. well not living but existing

I remember Titor. I didn't believe him, mostly because he didn't allow enough years between events. He was interesting, though. Time travel is such a fantastic concept. If it's ever achieved, people will be more than ready to embrace it. It has already been embraced, ECKists are able to view past lives with no effort whatsoever.!!!

Dream on, as they say. They could be sharing the same experiences but by their attitude they have chosen not to allow it to happen

I know this meaning, I just don't go along with it. mm am not convinced I don't know, mouse. I think she's pretty aware. I try to come in almost every day, and I notice she has 4 people going after her all the time, yet she tries to express her beliefs in a way that you should be able to understand. She deserves an award for effort.
