Antiquatis Discussion Fora

Yes, Hollywood tends to give us these gems quite often, though not always this blatantly. You will find them scattered everywhere in all kinds of movies and series. But you need to be wide awake to recognize them as such. With time one also recognizes the more subtle ones. If you are blind you will ...

http://schoolingtheworld.org/film/ Thanks! That documentary fits right into my paper's last chapter. I will put it right after Josie Outlaw's A Prison By Any Other Name When today's youth are asked, they just stare at you blankly in response, while someone else answers for them... "a burden on soci...

I have reinstated "The Tomorrow People" forum.

Thank you!

I would also like to thank PeacefulMe for her latest post in there, which urged me on to read the whole forum. It gave me some orientation and new pointers just at the right time.

Sound like they created a story and are filling in plots as they go. No kidding! Something you would not expect from a "season 1" of a given series. I was also struck by how old all of the actors are. The original series featured some very young actors/actresses (perhaps 8-12 years old) as the tomo...

Speaking of space lightning, I read something the other day that boggled my mind... The following was taken from the book "Extra-Terrestrials Among Us" (p.25): Records of the 687 B.C. battle between the Assyrians and the Hebrews indicate that "a blast from heaven" reduced the bodies of 185,000 Assyr...

I think I am going to have a chat with my landlords and their kid. For the second time now after the "I am afraid of the ghost"-incident , he went by my door and said my name followed by "...is my friend" to his grandma while walking down the stairs. I have not had much (conscious) interaction with ...

Have you seen the little kid in person outside sometime or some other kids? Also the clothes you wear hoodie etc. dark clothes and maybe a grim face when the kids might have seen you out sometime. Then the rumors spread and they have made you a "ghost" to tease this particular kid. I don't usually ...

My downstairs neighbor and her 4-year old boy were on the stairs an hour ago. It was still dark outside and I was in bed. I heard her telling him to go up to his grandparents' for something. (They live on my floor and he would have to pass by my room first.) His answer was: "I don't want to, I am af...

This might indeed to a certain extent be achieved if it were not that the reader, as is very natural, thinks, as he reads, not merely of what is actually said, but also of its possible consequences, and thus besides the many contradictions actually given of the opinions [ix] of the time, and presum...

The sudden transition happens when you cannot handle an angular change--and, like conventional thinking, moves in a straight line--EITHER horizontal or vertical, no slopes allowed. When it happens on a more frequent basis, is it perhaps because I subconsciously want to maintain this angular phase f...

What exactly is it with the hypnagogic "missing of a step"? Your body gives an immediate twitch, you are suddenly wide awake and usually forgot what happened. Did my thoughts wander somewhere where they shouldn't or what I am not ready for yet? Or was I just about to step into an abyss without reali...

Two, companies profit even more selling items that work just long enough to get outside of their warranty period. Tell me about it. I had it happen to me a couple of times, almost to the exact day of warrant expiration. I have seen a professor's lecture notes once where he taught the students that ...

I'm curious if you all experience any weirdness, synchronicity, patterns or anything out of the ordinary today. Share anything here if you do. Not today but a week ago. My phones charger got a loose connection in the head, pin, plug or whatever the English term is, and where I am probably not going...

Even those that purport to question are not actually questioning, but simply challenging authority --and ignoring the answers. Questioning for the sake of questioning is pointless. Just want to throw in here that not replying to a given answer and ignoring it altogether can easily be confused becau...

Personally, I prefer to be Neo. It is far more interesting than being a member of the "mindless masses." Particularly when you've seen the blue mist... humanity's unconscious answer to the macrobe. Considering that the members of this forum are all about curiosity, we should be ashamed, myself incl...

So, we have had fora, and we have had a physical gathering. If there are other ways to take this forward which anyone here feels worthwhile, all I can say is: go right ahead! Will do so! I am still working on my translations. And it is not only the RS. There is a bunch of other things that needed t...

Joey, remember your last pm a month ago, where you said that I seemed to be tuned in in your conversations? Well, looks like I did it again yesterday... I had similar thoughts around midnight (UTC +1). The self-acclaimed "leaders" of our societies rely on emotion to do all the dirty work. If you eve...

So there may be a physical reason that it is NOT "choosing ignorance," but is just a physical impossibility, given the organizational structure of motion in the psyche. It might be a bit of both. Those capable of independent thought can still choose ignorance. And I bet a lot of them do. As for tho...

I have noticed that there are very few people that seem to be able to "put 1 and 1 together" these days, particularly in the younger generation. Well, from a spectrum of possible answers that goes from 2 all the way to yellow , finding the correct one is not always that easy. Gotta cut them some sl...

My first thought is to check the statistics. Where on earth do we have the most lightning? Apparently near the equator (if NASA's data can be trusted). So I reckon there is a correlation with the sun or heat in general. What is Larson's definition of heat? World Lightning Map: The map above shows th...

And what's the technical term for dreaming the future, does this fall into the precognition category? I had a dream about an unfamiliar gypsy recently. My immediate thought was that she doesn't quite belong here and was perhaps visiting me in my dream. The dream stood definitely out, it felt odd. Wh...

Tough indeed. Here are some dictionary results that more or less capture the essence:

equilibrium
equilibration
equalization
evenness
regularity
mediocrity
balance
middlingness
moderation
gauge
stability
measuredness
symmetry
stasis

Anyone know of a GERMAN version of this book?

So far, this book has not been translated into German.

I was standing by the edge of the lake talking to a farmer about the enchanted legends of Lough Gur. As he talked the clouds rolled in and the sky darkened. At that moment, I looked out on the lake and the trees began to sparkle. As if someone had turned on lights--fairy lights. I was astonished at...

Rather than keep you in suspense about it, I'll share what I can at the present time. Very much appreciated! When I read LB's step-by-step post, I wondered how long it would take until we heard of a second success story. My guess was several years. But here we are, only 14 months later. Fantastic! ...
