What does Errol Flynn mean by the quote, "I am an octagon of contradiction which in itself may be no contradiction."

So he would adjust to certain groups, he would conform to the ways of others he would be around. I totally understand that, I think we all do that at some point in our lives if not all the time. We all have to adjust and conform to the people around us, we are all social at one point or another. You act appropriately when you go in for an interview just as you act way different when you are out at a bar with friends. If someone lives in this time we have to adjust appropriately. Imagine someone not being able to adjust, they would be seen as an outcast and not be able to get jobs or socialize with people. We act entirely different when we are at work in responsible mode, then at home hanging on our couch or in a classroom with a teacher present. We all know the difference in the ambiance and environment. And with those differences we act accordingly.

Why do we mistakenly believe that chants or prayers or petitions work? How does science explain such coincidences?

We believe in "chants" or voodoo because we allow our minds to think that it is true. We set our minds into believeing in something then to us it is infact believeable. For example if you try 10 times to chant something to happen and only 2 times it actually happens then the numbers dont matter because your a believer due to the 2 times it did happen. Its like magic, you see a magic trick and its believeable. Watching a magic show infact tricks you into believing it is real, in our minds it is real. But if you go behind the scenes to see the reality of it then you will realize they are nothing more than tricks themselves.

At the end of the Gumby show they showed Gumby being spred with ash and he became the incarnation of spiritual love, a shrine was even created for Gumby. When Wolfgang makes that comment, about being not even wrong, its because basically he is saying that not only is it not right but its not even on the wrong side, its nothing to contemplate about. Its not right or wrong because its not on a level to even contemplate about!

Personally this video is my favorite so far, it describes me. It explains my love for coke and how I cant enjoy a meal without it. But in reality it is all in our minds. We can see what we want to see as "perfect". We can choose what we want to choose as "the perfect taste". My love for coke is the same love that this man has, I cant eat a good meal without having a cold refreshing coke. But when I take a step back and listen to how silly that sounds I begin to realize that it is I that have made it that way. We inquire a ceratin taste, like the taste and then cant live without it. In reality ofcourse we can, but in our minds we cant. It can be the abiance, it can be the wait, it can be different things in life that give you the "want" or "need" to find the perfect in something, and when you find it in your mind its amazing.

It definitly says that we are very easily intriged and allow illusions to become realistic. It understandable that humans make mistakes, but we should recieve some sort of credit because of the fact that these computers are performing with human intelligence. Computers can be created to look like a human and talk and move (a robot), they can also sit on our desks and do just about anything you want them to do. We cant help but to be tricked in our minds that there is some sense of being in these computers. And the worst part is everyone uses computers and we rely heavily on them, they do so much for us that we carry them with us (ipad) (smart phone) daily. We as people are easily fooled but only because of the technology behind these computers. Technology is somewhere it has never been, above and behond!

Amobius strip is an endless surface that transforms into something that it is not when someone tries to reorient the strip itself. They are similar becuase when one reduces consiousness into parts anything that follows will be lost. 

A first person narrative is totally different from a third person narrative because first person narratives are in the perspective of the person speaking or narrating. Third person narratives are in the perspective of a person that is not the characters in the story. Third person is someone that wasent even around when whats in question even occured. The story easily changes and the context is different becaue it is a different person's experience. Its like the "telephone game" I used to play in 2nd grade, you sit in a circle with your entire class and when the first person tells the second person in their ear the word it changes, by the time it gets around the circle then that word is an entirely different word.

Flip video#8 DEATH

The fact that we dont know where we are going when we die. We dont know if it is painful or peaceful. What if we are re-born into another life, there are so many mysteries about death and no proof on what happens when we die. And another huge obstacle we are faced with is when and HOW we are going to die. Im sure we all have our imaginations flowing on how we are going to pass, but when you think of passing because of a heart attack or car accident it seems very painful, And to top it off the movies they make on death these days are really making our imaginations flow, the most grusome deaths are in most scary movies.

Flip video #7 Maya

Maya is an Indian word. It is from Indian philosophy, in so many words it means an illusion. Maya gives us a defininition on understanding real deception. So Maya basically describes deception in neuroscience. We can see things that are not truely there and thats an illusion. An example is when we see disturbing images and they burry there way into our memories and become illusions of other things in the disturbing illusions..

Soley relying on our current knowledge and resources such as maps we know where we stand, but like I say its based on our current knowledge of our surroundings. Its all about peoples perspectives on their "where abouts". I believe every one goes off their own perspectives and "where abouts". And every street and city is based on names we as people have created. We in so many words created our surroundings and go off of that perspective.

Since we dont know what our cranial limits are then how is it possible to exceed it? Maybe if we knew what our cranial limits were we could try to exceed these limits but it would be a very difficult thing to accomplish seeing that not only has it never been done but we dont even know the first step to find out our cranial limit. Ofcourse our people have made many discoveries and developments that were before impossible and unherd of, and our future holds many more developments and discoveries but it all takes time. Just like we had no idea about the moon and planets but now have so many discoveries and developments regaurding them. Our people have come a long way and in time will exceed what we know now.

The Chandian Effect is when "the more certain or real the mystical encounter seems, the less likely one is to believe that such is the product of subjective projection or transference." For example the more realistic the experience feels the more unrealistic it becomes. If something is so positive and its a feeling like its too good to be true then they tend to disregaurd what was actually true in the beginning. Chad was fighting in the war in Hamadan when he realized the secret behind religious visions. A holy man appeared as a form infront of Faqir and gave him advice by telling him not to waste the ammunition that was grately needed. He in turn was worshiped by the people when he returned to Baghdad.

Matter has many definitions, especially now that time has and is always progressing. With that being said the first definition has been changing and is evolving due to the many discoveries. And even to this day the new discoveries are changing the definition of "matter". People are understanding more and more due to discoveries being made and that in turn makes the definition more complicated. The people out there that still associate religion and science as two seperate entities are grasping the old, simple definition of the word "matter". If you look at how complicated the definition of "matter" is then imagine how complicated the conflict of religion and science are to be resloved. If people allow their minds to open to the complex definition of "matter" itself and not hold on to the simplistic definitionthen they can understand the complexity behind religion and science. If you understand that religion and science are very complex then you will come to see that they have alot in common.
