Oct 8, 2011 - its really not that difficult all you have to do is become self aware in a dream and start from there. There are a ton of books to help guide you. The thanks internet part is pretty funny. Seriously tho remove your pre concived notions on the subject, keep the condecension if you like and give it a go. Or be a judgemental knob and think you have frim grasp on something you havent even tried or at least researched. I made that last assumption based on your statments "tone"

Oct 8, 2011 - Population isn't a problem, in fact, with current technology we could support far more people on earth than we currently do and very sustainably and cleanly. The problem is bad management of the population with inefficient economies, corrupt governments, and unnecessary strife and war. Technology will continue to improve and alleviate those damaging effects, but don't blame population, blame how we deal with it..

Oct 9, 2011 - I suspect the point is that there doesn't seem to be a way for you to know what exactly it is that what you call "astral travel" confirms. I'm not saying that "astral travel" isn't possible (nor that it is), I'm just saying that merely doing it won't tell you what it is.If the body was not "a tool that allows us to interact in this dimension", but rather all we are, and our mind emerging from it, what would you then expect the world to look like? What test would confirm that to you?

Oct 9, 2011 - i disagree and think the question is good. Think of the highlander movies where they dont die... they can learn many languages and be skilled in many things

Oct 9, 2011 - Fair enough. He was featured heavily in Long for this World, which is why i got confused. In any case, this full vid is behind a paywall, which makes me want to punch fora.tv inthe face

Oct 9, 2011 - death is all there is is what i responded to, and your phrasing brings up other avenues so i will attempt to respond. 1 our "brain" and our "mind" are 2 difffernt things 2 the idea our body is all we are is negated when you have experiences leaving your body and i mean "you" are above yourself looking down on your body sleeping. IF our body was our totality then anything outside of that would not be possible. But i digress and wish you and familly health and happiness.

Oct 9, 2011 - Fora can be a pain. I have a bunch of Aubrey uploads, check em out.

Oct 9, 2011 - Future technology of this century will allow our brains to access memory devices such as one's we have in a computer. This will extend our ability to remember. This is probably about 50 years from now.

wassholm Says:

Oct 9, 2011 - So your assumption is unfalsifiable? From my perspective, you experiencing something that appears to you as if your "mind" is leaving your body is completely in line with the idea that said mind is an emergent property of your body. Your claim that you've "been outside of your body" does nothing on it's own to prove that that is in fact the case, let alone to falsify the idea of emergent consciousness.It comes down to this: "astral travel" is not an experiment, and confirms nothing.

MsHojat Says:

Oct 10, 2011 - of course, but I was just talking about the natural/biological brain itself. On that note, it would be also interesting to know what sort of biological (as opposed to electronic) enhancements might be done to the brain.

MichaelnChristine Says:

Oct 10, 2011 - Anyone who thinks the mind arises from anything other the brain needs to prove that they truly believe this by allowing me to put a nail through their head. If you won't do that, then you don't believe it.

drshlotzkin Says:

Oct 10, 2011 - If aging was spread throughout those 1000 years then maybe... Think of the last millennia, how many changes humanity has gone though, living through the next would be something to witness. Well you probably would have been burned as a witch or treated as a god if you could have lived during the last millennia, haha.

Oct 11, 2011 - Yes!!! absolutely.

Nov 3, 2011 - Wow, you didn't have to be a dick about it.

mysql0 Says:

Nov 13, 2011 - Aubrey is the devil. We are supposed to die, that is how God made us, to die. God needs us to die so that after our test on Earth we can be judged according to God's law and either be sent to Heaven or Hell.Aubrey is the devil and he is allowing evil men never to die and never to be sent to Hell or judged by God!!AUBREY IS THE DEVIL! AGING IS GOOD!

Mar 11, 2012 - lmao

andyrooney12 Says:

Mar 30, 2012 - People sit there during a 1 or 2 hour lecture and then they start to feel like experts on the subject. They get in line and by the time it's their turn with the microphone they think that they have a brilliant question that will stomp Aubrey or get him to think twice about what he's doing...then he puts them in their place & we're ready for another question. Who are these people? Well, they're just contrarians that enjoy the counter-culter & they feel "cool" opposing the standard for no reason!
