The GabCast (A podcast about BellGab)

Good for you Ziznak! Now you can actually contribute to society and stuff. 
Please tell me that one of your new job duties is to photoshop the head of a certain paranormal radio host onto their ass candy now with ears.
Might as well get paid for something you do so well.

I'm sure Taintco will be fine with its employees surfing the web & posting on a forum during working hours.  As Jazmunda mentioned, they might have some unfortunate legal issues to worry about!.

Fixed.

LOL, you read my mind eddie.

Congrats on the new job, ziz!

That's the spirit.  Plus, it's where Nooron's face belongs...

Found online.  Thought of Onan.

I often think it would be pretty cool if onan actually was Jeff Bridges.

At last, a ginger! Not that I won't miss Jaz "I'm-winding-download" Munda, of course, but gingers are generally a underrepresented. This will restore balance in the ginger universe, and that is key.

Pray tell good lady ... art thou a ginger?  The Fran Drescher -esque voice just made me assume that you were a brunette.

[heater]

We need more ginger!

We were going to try and not talk about poop this week.  Figured this would give us a fighting chance.

Hopefully it will be posted early tomorrow. It's totally up to MV. He usually posts it the next day (tuesdays) but I think he has been pretty busy lately.
Sorry for the delay.

If there's a need to #freejazmunda then it's because he got stuck in his small breeding window.  In other words his own dam fault.

Mudking (& Eddie & Onan): I thought you posed some interesting ideas including when you asked what people thought about the "hive mind" i.e. collective.

This post got way too long but I hope you can hang in there for the gist of it.

It's possible that when we go through life 100% identified with the daily waking mind we never distinguish between a personal self and a larger (or collective) Self which is also there. In other words, we have spent our entire life assuming the sense of self we experience upon waking each day and the body it apparently resides in defines our entire SELF. So people generally never look any deeper. And let religions deal with anything deeper.

But suppose there is that collective you posit, Mudking, and we call it the Impersonal Self. Meaning It exists sans personality traits such as those we each have which we think defines our personality. (EG, our personality is based on all the myriad memories, values, decisions and beliefs stemming from our fundamental core want/need heirarachy. As Freud said, our need for shelter, food, sex, companionship, safety, etc. 
Everyone has the same list but everyone's values and personality develop differently. This identification is called personal self.

At a higher level though, where Collective Awareness exists, the daily self is superceded. The local personality traits which define us (we thought) are absent if/when we identify with so-called greater Self.. HOWEVER, the "I AM" phenomenon, which includes our connection to that inner greater Self (Life essence) exists in both states of identification. One could say this "I AM" is our direct tie to the godthing, the collective. It is common to both conscious waking self and the collective as well.

We can "identify" our self as we normally do, the daily waking self. Or we can "identify" with the collective, a real presence accessible within the mind.
So we all feel the "I AM" but we think it only applies to our individual physical self. But suppose no, while our personalities are all individual the "I AM" is that of the collective. Of "LIFE". Of impersonal being. Of the godthing. The thing man has throughout history anthropomorphized as "God".

So, Onan and Mudking, et al, if this is  so (and I have reason to think it is) when we "die" physically we (let's call it "small i") would cease to be as the life experiences get absorbed into the collective (let's call it the large I). All one Unity Awareness entity but with levels. Each of our "I AM" continues on, the same "I AM" you feel right now, but the physical brain and body return to their unintegrated state. IE, stardust. (Studies show our basic components are formed inside suns).

Incidentally, this suggest that we all have lived before and will be reincarnated. But not with the same small-i self which we THINK truly defines us right now. Rather it would be in a different form/body with a personality that is created as that self grows and develops based on that  want/need heirarchy. Similarly the cells in our bodies are conscious to a degree and contribute to the gestalt whole which is our human entirety.

So what we think of as "I" does not fully contain that sense we feel of "I AM". That is part of the ultimate Gestalt. Which holds all the individual selves that have ever existed and will in the future. In an infinite universe.

When I hear you guys talking in the gabcasts I hear you skirting around these issues, especially Eddie and  Mudking. Onan too though he was quick to say "No". As they say in the Vedic tradition there comes a point when the student hungering for self-knowledge is (subconsciously) looking for the door. But he is standing right in front of it and doesn't know it.

He must keep in mind the constant resolve to connect to that collective Mudking mentions. And be ready to abandon conditioned beliefs as new realization appears.

BTW, the daily I is mostly concerned with survival, needs, safety (thus xenophobia) sex and  food and uses aggression to chase these things (and fend off need deprivation). But while I still struggle with what is our true nature I believe the evolving person leaves the nursery of material identification and steps up into compassion, empathy and peace. Embracing others as Self rather than adversary.

The ancients call it "enlightenment" but really it's simply discovering the full nature of the self. (And has to do with unconditional love).

I propose one good source for learning more about personal identification is the Advaita Vedanta (which this post does not represent, these are my own unofficial expressions). But there are other ways. Lucid Dreaming is very good practice for discerning the levels of one's own mind and its relationship to the larger self inside. Through lucid dreaming you can introduce the daily conscious mind which erroneously identifies self with materialism to the vast realms of the subconscious (collective).

I apologise for this lengthy post, I meant for it to be one short paragraph. And I won't do it again. I just couldn't remain quiet since that question Mudking so earnestly asked could be the most important question of your life.

Tarbaby,

thanks for that great and thoughtful post!  I appreciate you taking the time to contemplate and respond.  You made some great points that I think may be very close to the truth.

Thanks for the thought provoking post. I hate to wade into such deep waters without tone and facial gestures.

Almost every sentence in your post deserves at the very least, several pages of clarification, examination, and reflection.

I tend to be skeptical of the collective consciousness. I understand that for most of us our commonalities far outweigh our differences... especially so within our emotional brain. As to whether there is some ethereal pool of thoughts and feeling that are shared in a similar fashion to a computer network... I guess each of us will make our decision.

I have always felt that the here and now is the essence of our experience. I find conjecture into tomorrow or reflecting on the past give us little as compared to the moment at hand. I am not dismissing those time frames, they are necessary, but our lives are pretty much here, now. I don't see the importance of interconnectedness  beyond the surface of daily experience. I see nothing less reverent with that perspective. Actually, not having some nebulous soul connection makes our relationships more valuable.

I also believe that all of us go through our lives with moments of great clarity and some moments... not so much. I don't believe that at one moment we are more special than we are at another. I don't see why one would differentiate those moments. I often ponder over the person that seeks some higher level of understanding for what appears to be a reason to somehow lessen someone that chooses just to be. In the end no matter what your belief, it all comes out pretty much the same.

To reincarnation... I just don't see it. If there is such a thing, and I don't believe there is, it seems to me we haven't really become more enlightened, more spiritual, or more forgiving. We have become more plentiful.

And your post length is nothing to apologize for.
