In the search for knowledge it is always nice to know that there are many other scientists out there like us that are all looking for truth in this world we were born into


You had me at scientists...





Enjoy your time here king - and remember to research before you lay claim...otherwise you're gonna be going against the grain.

Welcome to ATS Llama. I'm not a big fan of scientists myself but to each their own. Just don't try to tell me how healthy vaccines or luminescent cats are and we'll get along just fine.

Enjoy and see you around.

I agree with what you said through my own personal experiences. I meditate frequently and it really is amazing how useful meditation becomes during normal parts of the day. It seems like I can slip in and out of different desired perceptions of reality at my own now. It's great because then you understand it really is all in the mind because our individual mind perceives all... And with our current amount of senses we can only perceive a limited spectrum of wavelengths, so who knows what is really out there. Growing up I would always find things like photographs trivial, but looking back with that knowledge makes me wonder how amazing it really is that our eyesight can be pretty near perfect. Or maybe the photograph perceives more than our actual eyesight does... Haha I love making sense of reality by drawing parallels.

Anyway I'm most excited to join this site because I'm really interested in discovering literature, favorites of like-minded people out there that they could recommend and pass along. Right now I've been reading the Bardo Thodol, otherwise known as the Tibetan Book Of The Dead... Super fascinating stuff that coincides with what I found to be closest to the truth of reality based on what I have learned over the years. This particular copy I found was written with forward by Timothy Leary and has a few chapters he dedicated to the breakdown of philosophy before the actual writings, going over aspects of the differences between 20th century western philosophy and eastern philosophy and how western philosophy has only started to grasp the realm outside of the political correctness stigma that haunts modern science... Super fascinating stuff.

Do any of you have recommendations for readings as well? Can't wait to hear what you recommend.

Please check out the book Zhuan Falun in my signature link, it is free to download.

That book sold in 100s of millions copies during the 1990s before the communists banned it, I guess they dont want to let Chinese people have a mind of their own..

Anyway, good luck with that book, the content is unique and covers supernormal powers, how to craise your mind and become a good person etc..

Wish you all the best!
