  1. If you child is disrupting the class they can force him. Maybe not by prying open his mouth with a screwdriver, but by gently telling you to take him to a doctor to get it sorted out or they will 'recommend' a correctional juvenile school (aka prison for kids).

  2. An absorber can hardly be called an individual. A better word would be a sponge. Many true individuals do exist, though - and most are not in the public eye.

  3. I don't think it is so clear cut. There are parts of the internet where free and informed debate takes place. Sure they are harder to find and you have to dodge the recommendation engines to find them - but they exist.

  5. Genuine spiritual teachers disagree. The problem with drugs as an entryway into the spirit World is two fold. 1. You are not prepared to understand what you see and unlike the physical world there are no auto-correctional measures - you become a delusional seer of sorts. 2. The drugs basically introduce you to a part of the spirit world that exists only inside your body. You think you have discovered the Wisdom of the Cosmos and what you have really only discovered is the wisdom of your liver(i.e. the lower spirit who manages it). There are no shortcuts to spirit - follow a proper path by respectable teachers.

  6. Spot on. 1984 is more like China. The West will never become like that - too many Snowdens running around in the West.

  7. George Orwell was also a supporter of communism - just not in its Soviet form.

  8. You should not have noticed anything because you should be using the UBlock Origin plugin.

  9. The individuality that resides inside a human body places a heavy weight on it. Any substance or activity that reduces the individuality makes the body feel good. Alcohol, mj, opiates, television, devices, excessive sport, most music etc.

  10. Geothe was a wise man but also a lawyer. He would also be forced agree that there is but one majority and also a thousand-thousand minorities who believe they are right. Of those minorities there either exactly zero or exactly one who represent complete truth.

  11. Just like Thomas Anderson - most enlightened individuals lead two lives. The enlightened life they keep mostly secret - from colleagues, family and friends. Even their spouse. If you do not do this expect to get attacked from every angle. Lower consciousness either dismisses or fights higher consciousness. Almost never does it simply accept it and become higher consciousness itself.
