And you still think . . . "I wish I could get laid!" - Bea Thu, 09 Dec 2010 11:07:06 +0100 http://www.randi.org/site/index.php/swift-blog/1149-delusion-to-the-point-of-saturation.html#comment-20051 Um, Eyup. - William Thu, 09 Dec 2010 10:42:40 +0100 http://www.randi.org/site/index.php/swift-blog/1149-delusion-to-the-point-of-saturation.html#comment-20050 Ok, so at least you proved something...you're not too funny. FYI, been with the same woman for 29 years. Since you're used to shooting in the dark, I'll give it a try. I'm going to guess that you haven't managed to maintain a relationship for half that long. Oh, um...you're the idiot. What, you forget that fast? We should have dinner together. It would be fun! :D - zhombu Thu, 09 Dec 2010 10:29:37 +0100 http://www.randi.org/site/index.php/swift-blog/1149-delusion-to-the-point-of-saturation.html#comment-20049 Hellooooo . . . that was a play on the word "intellectual" as in your head is so far up your ass you will never see the light. And you're thinking . . . "God, I wish I could get laid!" most of the time. And that was a joke. Who is the idiot? - Bea Thu, 09 Dec 2010 10:20:52 +0100 http://www.randi.org/site/index.php/swift-blog/1149-delusion-to-the-point-of-saturation.html#comment-20048 "Analectual"? The adjective is "analectic" and doesn't apply here at all. Hey Bea, hee! Read my mind!!! - zhombu Thu, 09 Dec 2010 10:01:01 +0100 http://www.randi.org/site/index.php/swift-blog/1149-delusion-to-the-point-of-saturation.html#comment-20047 “To one who has faith, no explanation is necessary. To one without faith, no explanation is possible.” St. Thomas Aquinas - Bea Thu, 09 Dec 2010 09:52:11 +0100 http://www.randi.org/site/index.php/swift-blog/1149-delusion-to-the-point-of-saturation.html#comment-20046 Yep, Bea, it's abundantly clear that you don't like to read a lot. Trust me, William thinks you're an idiot, too. - zhombu Thu, 09 Dec 2010 09:37:22 +0100 http://www.randi.org/site/index.php/swift-blog/1149-delusion-to-the-point-of-saturation.html#comment-20045 I can't even be bothered to read your posts . . . they are just so insulting. I read the first paragraph and that was enough. The white butterfly did come to my window the duration of the time I lived at that particular location. That was many years ago . . . now be nice and go away. I answer William because he is nice and respectful, that is the only reason. Hope you are having a good day William. - Bea Thu, 09 Dec 2010 09:17:21 +0100 http://www.randi.org/site/index.php/swift-blog/1149-delusion-to-the-point-of-saturation.html#comment-20044 Hi William. I'm still checking this thread. Jesus, Bea, you are a flake! When you make statements about a white butterfly that appears at your window each day...is that something you honestly believe happens? You say that I could sit by that window and I would record a white butterfly stopping by each day? Are you saying this to elevate your claimed level of cosmic importance or do you actually believe it happens? And H2O is what...arbitrary nomenclature? As William asked, because the statement is so...ignorant, in the truest sense of the word, that he needs to find out if you are one of those who is incapable of understanding the back-and-forth explanations he's attemping. If so, then it's much more clear to me why you think as you do. Do you simply scoff at all scientific discovery as if it's all so much folderol posited by snobs who think they're smarter than you are? They are, Bea, you've finally proven that much to me. I'm not an attorney, but I certainly don't claim that what attorneys know is false or arbitrary. You're floating in the space of self-delusion and no more qualified to discuss claims of supernatural powers than a child and her imaginary friends. The universe is very real and far exceeds the little realm of magic you think you inhabit. By the way, butterflies frequently land on clothing and sit there for extended periods. It happens to me all the time while hiking in the summer. Nothing magical there, Bea, just a butterfly who needs a rest on a colorful shirt. I have a very close friend who died very young this past August. His brother is deeply convinced of the afterlife, John Edward (from whom he had a reading years ago), and visits from the departed. He related to me how, a couple of weeks after his brother died, he gave his two kids each a $5 bill from their uncle's bedroom as keepsakes. They went to the mall that day and bought clothing for school. Both received their change in $5 bills. Their father was besides himself, fully convinced that his brother had come back, in the form of $5 bills, to say that everything was ok. I know for a fact that his brother would have used $20's. So...do you see magic in that, or do you see a desperate, scared person grieving terribly, as we all still are, for his lost sibling? Hint: his conclusion was as silly as are yours. So, you're a good friend of Tupac and John Lennon? Why the hell did they not call you when they were alive, long distance charges? Bea, it's time to clean the litter box of your mind. As assured you are of our inability to see the beauty in make-believe, we are baffled by how dim adults such as you can be. As I've stated before, please don't sully your incredible life with any prescription medicines, indoor plumbing, roofs that don't leak, cars that don't stall, bread that stays fresh, or anything made of or that uses wood, plastic, metal, carbon fiber, glass, refined chemicals, electricity, paper, or anything from Ikea. That's all made with science, not belief, and clearly, science has no part in your life. - zhombu Thu, 09 Dec 2010 08:27:36 +0100 http://www.randi.org/site/index.php/swift-blog/1149-delusion-to-the-point-of-saturation.html#comment-20040 Then you do not have telepathy. - William Wed, 08 Dec 2010 10:07:41 +0100 http://www.randi.org/site/index.php/swift-blog/1149-delusion-to-the-point-of-saturation.html#comment-20039 I know nothing about your wife. - Bea Wed, 08 Dec 2010 09:36:19 +0100 http://www.randi.org/site/index.php/swift-blog/1149-delusion-to-the-point-of-saturation.html#comment-20038 Are you serious? Do you even understand what the H2O means? Would you object to the use of the "symbol" NH3 for ammonia? Ok, so you confirm the definition of telepathy. Now, let me put you to a test. Synthesize one piece of accurate information about my wife. - William Wed, 08 Dec 2010 09:14:46 +0100 http://www.randi.org/site/index.php/swift-blog/1149-delusion-to-the-point-of-saturation.html#comment-20035 Somebody decided H2O was a symbol for water and it was accepted. What if I decided or someone else that A3J is a symbol for water. It is semantics . . . interpretation. I have a hundreds of valid examples through experience, through observation, through using mind, body and soul to get to the truth of any matter and I get information that is only visible or understood beyond the five senses. - Bea Wed, 08 Dec 2010 06:54:03 +0100 http://www.randi.org/site/index.php/swift-blog/1149-delusion-to-the-point-of-saturation.html#comment-20034 Oh, I DO understand more than you think. I'm trying to help you win over the "general skeptics". And you threw it out there, obviously you need to explain the H2O comment. Your still not off the hook for establishing your definition of "telepathy". - William Wed, 08 Dec 2010 06:26:31 +0100 http://www.randi.org/site/index.php/swift-blog/1149-delusion-to-the-point-of-saturation.html#comment-20033 but you just don't get it and I'm done trying to help you understand what you are not capable of understanding using your five senses. Maybe in your next life. Take care and have a blessed holiday. PS-You know H20 is not really water. Love, B - Bea Wed, 08 Dec 2010 05:28:38 +0100 http://www.randi.org/site/index.php/swift-blog/1149-delusion-to-the-point-of-saturation.html#comment-20032 "Inner planes" of your mind's eye is not useful to the definition. Plus, it is NOT using your classic 5 senses (the nerve endings that pick up aromas, light, noise, tactiles, or flavors). So your telepathy is not a communication between individuals (living--you and the subject), it is something your mind conjures up based on something people might call "intuition". It is random thoughts that you interpret to have meaning. Let's try it again: [i][b]Telepathy:[/b] The synthesis of accurate information about an unknown person from one's own thoughts without the use of smell, sight, hearing, touch or taste.[/i] Please fix my definition. If someone else is still monitoring this conversation, please chime in with a constructive suggestion. - William Wed, 08 Dec 2010 04:51:10 +0100 http://www.randi.org/site/index.php/swift-blog/1149-delusion-to-the-point-of-saturation.html#comment-20027 I type too fast. - Bea Tue, 07 Dec 2010 12:00:56 +0100 http://www.randi.org/site/index.php/swift-blog/1149-delusion-to-the-point-of-saturation.html#comment-20026 Actually it the above explanation only the sights, sounds and smells are happening on the inner planes in my mind's eye . . . so for example when I am reading for a woman of 29 over the phone for the first time and within five minutes . . . all of a sudden I see the face of Tupac Shakur in my mind's eye and I hear him say, "She really likes me." so I ask her, "Do you really like Tupac Shakur or something?" and she says, "Oh my god, I loooooovveee Tupac . . . I tattooed his face on my back when I was 15!! ;D - Bea Tue, 07 Dec 2010 11:59:46 +0100 http://www.randi.org/site/index.php/swift-blog/1149-delusion-to-the-point-of-saturation.html#comment-20025 I'm not looking for explanation within a definition. God, or energy, or the soul are part of the explanation. And no, my definition does not explain how breathing works, just what the act IS. What IS the art of telepathy? [i][b]Telepathy:[/b] The transfer of information on thoughts or feelings between individuals by means other than smell, sight, hearing, touch or taste.[/i] I'm leaving out anything about the explanation of it, just what ability you say you have. You are right, experience defies the need for an explanation, which is why I don't care about it. Fix my definition, please. - William Tue, 07 Dec 2010 10:46:56 +0100
