"Anyway, someone who thinks we are all basically radio signals maybe should be a little more careful about pointing the finger of scorn."

We are energy. And yes, we are energy which is oscillating within a whole spectrum of wavelengths and frequencies. Just writing the post entails an infinite number of waveforms, interactions and oscillations of energy interfacing. All things can be reduced to this fundamental building block. What is an atom? Or any particle? These certainly are not the final units of measure!

That's like trying to insult Democritus by saying:

"Anyway, someone who thinks we are all basically atoms maybe should be a little more careful about pointing the finger of scorn."

Besides, I am not pointing a finger of scorn. As pointed out, all religions are steeped in barbarism and otherwise rational people suddenly mimic their less evolved ancestors under the groping grip of "conformity and community."

Whether we dip ourselves in "holy water" or cross our fingers like the Chinese...we are perpetuating rituals performed and conceived by minds not nearly as expanded as our own.

I am the first to admit I succumb to unitelligent biases and many of them get paraded here. My own thoughts are often attached to biases. We all bias - we have to in order to make decisions and choose courses of action. It is impossible not to bias based on a certain set of views and development. The important thing is to recognize these biases for what they are - limited judgemental views based upon a limited dataset and not an infinite view and from an infinite viewpoint are very limited in scope.

Evolution demands we increase our bandwidth. This means stretching our minds to encounter entirely new and foreign things. Space exploration is a great example of evolution and the desire of the human psyche to increase its bandwidth.

Eventually man frees himself from religious dogma and rituals and takes on the infinite cosmogony entirely on a one on one basis. You, me, everyone here and the chaps who bash their backs with chains or cut their heads with swords have a wonderfully unique relationship with the infinite universe.

Each places themselves in a perfect position to learn. We fail to realize that as energy signals we literally create our own environment! We reverberate and place ourselves wherein our signals find harmonic resonance. An earthperson's anatomy finds themselves perfectly suited to life on earth. This same anatomy is not of much use in deciphering data outside its limited bandwidth wave interpreters. Yes, our ears, eyes and minds are the most fundamental of wave interpreters and sorters. The nervous system is a circuitboard which carries these signals all around our body and our cells are programmed to respond to various preidentified signals.

Heat - waves
Cold - waves
Sound - waves
Light - waves
Thoughts - waves

Our emotions too are wavetrains. Fear, hate, confusion and even love can be identified by the wavetrains they produce and are associated with.

When we all interface here at the HZ - we encounter different wavetrains of thoughts and all of these are either assimilated and accepted, rejected or a combination of the two. In essence - we speed up our evolution by interacting and broadening our views in this way.

Imagine how fast mankind could evolve if he could combine all human experiences and learn from them. In essence thats what societies and cultural interfacing is all about. And yes, the give and take of views can be reduced to simple wave and signal exchanges.

Infinite understanding can never be attained in an infinite universe - but we are infinite in nature and can endlessly grow and learn along this infinite pathway.

This is a far stretch for our everyday reactionary consciousness to get a handle on. It is easy to disagree with someones post and not realize the basis and fundamental energy functions which underline these viewpoints.

Dogma can be defined as wave trains which have been reinforced and which are deeply interlocked with many facets of an individuals consciousness.

Liberals or conservatives both accept certain positions and views and they reject signals which do not resonate harmonically with these views. It is so tough to change minds here - because we have to unhook each one of these reiforced viewpoints and replace them with different ones. In many ways our views are like spiderwebs and are enmeshed within a matrix of all our beliefs and actions.

No ones views can be changed overnight. To do so would be in many ways to destroy the individual. Instead evolution changes these views one wave at a time...ever so gradually and incrementally, replacing old data with new data.

Everyone at HZ or BBS' everywhere who enjoy the give and tack - are almost entirely unaware of these energy exchange processes but that does not mean they are not occurring.

PS Yes this a long way to tell Publius that judging Bush as some evil figure is not the most intelligent course of action one can take - but it is one of the most effective at implanting new data which can realign old viewpoints.
