Super humans???? That is funny poop...can you bend metal objects with your mind, read people's minds, have the ability to teleport, do you know the secret to immortality, etc? Humans are barbaric gullible simpletons and that is all we will ever be. Humans are no better than cockroaches, breed and kill, thats all we're good for. Bring on the afterlife, that's when it will get interesting, life on earth is a temporary situation. Enjoy it while you are here.

We Are All Super Humans
So basically what I'm saying is we, the people, don't know what happened to us beyond 75 YEARS ago.

The Vedas
The Vedas (Sanskrit véda, "knowledge") are a large body of texts originating in Ancient India. They form the oldest layer of Sanskrit literature and the oldest sacred texts of Hinduism.

The Vedas.Chronology
The Vedas are among the oldest sacred texts in the world dating from c. 1500-500BCE. Most Indologists agree that an oral tradition existed long before a literary tradition tentatively may have been set in (in one shakha, Kanva) from about the 1st century BCE; however it was again superseded by oral tradition until c. 1000 CE. Due to the ephemeral nature of the manuscript material (birch bark or palm leaves), surviving manuscripts rarely surpass an age of a few hundred years. The Benares Sanskrit University has a Rigveda manuscript of the mid-14th century, however, there are a number of older Veda manuscripts in Nepal belonging to the Vajasaneyi tradition that are dated from the 11th century onwards.

Joseph Campbell Quotes
Follow your bliss and the universe will open doors where there were only walls.
God is a metaphor for that which trancends all levels of intellectual thought. It's as simple as that.
I don't believe people are looking for the meaning of life as much as they are looking for the experience of being alive.
I don't have to have faith, I have experience.
I think the person who takes a job in order to live - that is to say, for the money - has turned himself into a slave.
It is by going down into the abyss that we recover the treasures of life. Where you stumble, there lies your treasure.
Life is without meaning. You bring the meaning to it. The meaning of life is whatever you ascribe it to be. Being alive is the meaning.
Myths are public dreams, dreams are private myths.

I believe forums such as this one are a good place to start with "awakening" people because we are all a step "ahead" than the average person.

A Message to New Initiates
You are a child, a ray, of God the Almighty. You should, therefore, somehow or other, try to unite yourself with Him.
Worldly relations are transient, imperfect and impermanent. It is when we identify ourselves with these changing and evanescent relations that we feel miserable and restless. Our saints and sages who had the knowledge of the three periods of time—past, present and future—during their superconscious state realised the Truth and subsequently declared that God alone is eternal, pure, everlasting and perfect. It is only by knowing Him that one can have supreme peace and bliss. This is the only purpose of human life.

Joseph Campbell Quotes
Computers are like Old Testament gods; lots of rules and no mercy.

The various Indian religions and philosophy (Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, and Sikhism, among others) have all accorded a central focus to Dharma and advocate its practice. Each of these religions emphasizes Dharma as the correct understanding of reality in its teachings. In these traditions, beings that live in accordance with Dharma proceed more quickly toward Dharma Yukam, Moksha or Nirvana (personal liberation). Dharma also refers to the teachings and doctrines of the founders of these traditions, such as those of Gautama Buddha and Mahavira. In traditional Hindu society with its caste structure, Dharma constituted the religious and moral doctrine of the rights and duties of each individual. (see dharmasastra). Dharma in its universal meaning shares much in common with the way of Tao or Taoism.

you're pretty much bang on about us all creating our reality around us. And that's why I reckon that the world is killing Jade Goody. As the paper landed on the floor this morning, I saw her bald little head, sensationalist headline and thought "oh for # sake, get off my paper" And i know that everyone is sick of reading about her. That's just gonna set the world in motion to think "hurry up and die" And if everyone's thinking that, then it's gonna happen alot quicker in this new realisation of reality we have.
