Forum Rules (Everyone Must Read!!!)

1] What you CAN NOT post.

You agree, through your use of this service, that you will not use this forum to post any material which is:
- abusive
- vulgar
- hateful
- harassing
- personal attacks
- obscene

You also may not:
- post images that are too large (max is 500*500px)
- post any copyrighted material unless the copyright is owned by you or cited properly.
- post in UPPER CASE, which is considered yelling
- post messages which insult the Armenians, Armenian culture, traditions, etc
- post racist or other intentionally insensitive material that insults or attacks another culture (including Turks)

The Ankap thread is excluded from the strict rules because that place is more relaxed and you can vent and engage in light insults and humor. Notice it's not a blank ticket, but just a place to vent. If you go into the Ankap thread, you enter at your own risk of being clowned on.
What you PROBABLY SHOULD NOT post...
Do not post information that you will regret putting out in public. This site comes up on Google, is cached, and all of that, so be aware of that as you post. Do not ask the staff to go through and delete things that you regret making available on the web for all to see because we will not do it. Think before you post!


2] Use descriptive subject lines & research your post. This means use the SEARCH.

This reduces the chances of double-posting and it also makes it easier for people to see what they do/don't want to read. Using the search function will identify existing threads on the topic so we do not have multiple threads on the same topic.

3] Keep the focus.

Each forum has a focus on a certain topic. Questions outside the scope of a certain forum will either be moved to the appropriate forum, closed, or simply be deleted. Please post your topic in the most appropriate forum. Users that keep doing this will be warned, then banned.

4] Behave as you would in a public location.

This forum is no different than a public place. Behave yourself and act like a decent human being (i.e. be respectful). If you're unable to do so, you're not welcome here and will be made to leave.

5] Respect the authority of moderators/admins.

Public discussions of moderator/admin actions are not allowed on the forum. It is also prohibited to protest moderator actions in titles, avatars, and signatures. If you don't like something that a moderator did, PM or email the moderator and try your best to resolve the problem or difference in private.

6] Promotion of sites or products is not permitted.

Advertisements are not allowed in this venue. No blatant advertising or solicitations of or for business is prohibited.
This includes, but not limited to, personal resumes and links to products or
services with which the poster is affiliated, whether or not a fee is charged
for the product or service. Spamming, in which a user posts the same message repeatedly, is also prohibited.

7] We retain the right to remove any posts and/or Members for any reason, without prior notice.


- PLEASE READ -

Members are welcome to read posts and though we encourage your active participation in the forum, it is not required. If you do participate by posting, however, we expect that on the whole you contribute something to the forum. This means that the bulk of your posts should not be in "fun" threads (e.g. Ankap, Keep & Kill, This or That, etc.). Further, while occasionally it is appropriate to simply voice your agreement or approval, not all of your posts should be of this variety: "LOL Member213!" "I agree."
If it is evident that a member is simply posting for the sake of posting, they will be removed.


8] These Rules & Guidelines may be amended at any time. (last update September 17, 2009)

If you believe an individual is repeatedly breaking the rules, please report to admin/moderator.

    Intuition is simply an expression of the cosmic mind in man through the attunement of the inner self with the universal cosmic mind. The mind itself has potential faculties that can enable it to hear, see, feel, taste, and smell without depending upon the sense of the faculties of the physical body. These higher faculties also transmit certain impressions. These impressions are different from our physical senses. These impressions are very much subtle and the average person ignroes them, because they are often vague, and indefinite as compared to the distinct and familiar impressions transmitted by the physical senses. Intuition is knowledge transmitted to our mind and not limited nor affected by the physical senses. Not only do time and space not limit intuition, but neither do any other physical measurements. Therefore it is obvious that intuition opens up a vast new fountain of knowledge.
    Anonymouse, for a person who makes strong claims against topics like evolution and the scientific method, it is fascinting to see how you can pull a complete 180 and talk of the "cosmic mind" and "the transmission" of certain impressions through non physical means and then present a thesis as to how obvious it is how these things "open up vast new fountains of knowledge".

    You make it sound like these hypotheses are backed up by mountains of facts

    I don't question that our minds have the ability to formulate answers to questions they have never seen before. That is probably the single most significant factor that differentiates us as thinking beings from machines and objects. But to make the leap and conclude that this is the product of some cosmic transmission or a higher mind at play is streching things a bit too far in my opinion.

    We observe, we learn, we build knowledge, we develop certain skills ... then we utilize ALL these as well as our deductive, creative, imaginative, and inventive abilities to go beyond strictly what we have learned to arrive at "new" knowledge.

        This reminds me, why do people limit everything to thinking? What about intuition which is unthinking?

            You're forgetting that his standard of evidence is a lot lower for his own pet hypotheses. The fact that human embryos have gills at one point, even though they serve no function, is not evidence for evolution. However, if some people can sometimes tell who is calling them before they pick up the phone, this must mean that they are tapping into some universal source of knowledge.

              understanding intuition is not something attained through intelligence, and trying to 'prove' its existence to those holding mechanistic views on reality is a pure waste of time and energy!

                I see I have damaged your psyche so much in that evolution thread that you need to make constant references to it. I know you are the least intuitive person so I don't expect much of a contribution from you in this thread, but if you wanna whine about evolution go to the proper thread. Second of all, gill marks don't mean anything really.

                  Intuition is thought that comes from our subconscience.
                  Insticnt is an action,not thought. you ACT on instinct,you dont THINK on instinct.
                  Only because we derive intuition from our subconscience,it doesnt mean its not a THINKING.
                  Instinct is a kind of body knowing that is very action-oriented. It's a knowing how to move, react, and do without thinking about it or pondering why you need to act that way.
                  Intuition seems to me to be something that just "comes to you", in the form of a discovery or realization. It has much more of an awareness to it than instinct.

                  Instinct is a some sort of behaviour ....intuition is inner voice ,that helps u discover and realize...
                  I'm a monstrous mass of vile, foul & corrupted matter.

                      The great trouble for centuries has been that man, in his infinite skepticism, does nto listen to his inner self and finds no time for silent concentration and attunement.
