Actually Alfa, all fun aside. I was the first person in the world to realize the link between science and spirituality, and here's the proof with a time stamp. ( this is me )

FALSE. Refer please to Genesis, chapter 1, verse 3, to wit...
"And God said, ![]() ... and there was light." FALSE. The most important question is, "Where will I spend my eternity?" It was appointed unto man once to die after which is the judgement; this means that man cannot receive a second chance after death, to repent and to strengthen up his ways. Such an opportunity will pass forever after death. Do not loose it; especially because God has prepared for you an eternal salvation. FALSE. For it is written: "... I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live, and everyone who lives and believes in me shall never die..." -- John 11:25-26 (NIV) FALSE. Vorticity has addressed the mathematical shortcomings of your claim. To wit: The flaws of your claim are glaringly obvious to anyone with even a modicum of knowledge in theoretical physics, higher-order maths and theology. Evidence, please? First prove that chakras exist, as this seems to be the basis for your entire claim. |

Seconding what Fnord said. First prove to us that chakras exist.
You completely ignored it when I asked earlier. |

I farted and burped simultaneously. For all i know, I am the first.
If you think its irrelevant, or easy, try to do it. You can read about the experience on my blog, or buy the book and the t-shirt. My ego swells with every moment I revel in this achievement, yet I remain humble and accessible. How cool is that? |

No! I am the first!
This very day I answered the ultimate question of poetry. So what say you rhymes with the word 'orange?' The answer I say is too great a challenge! |

This thread is a thinly veiled advertisement for a couple of books:

And I bought four copies because I'm really interested in his ideas and I think they're just too advanced for me to understand with only one reading.
alfa, do your books address the wave equation this wave function is a solution for? |

Read this one! I just wrote it. It is more accurate than Alfa1's books.
A FREE EBOOK ABOUT CHAKRAS Chapter 1: Chakras Chakras do not exist. Chapter 2: The Importance of Chakras Some people once thought chakras existed. Some probably still do. They are wrong, chakras don't exist. Chapter 3: A History of Chakra-Related Beliefs, for Historico-Cultural Interest Only (Chapter 3 appears to be cut-and-pasted from Wikipedia and can be found there in its entirety. -Eds.) THE END. |

Alfa1, as a “wave” with a “wave function” what happens to you or your ‘functionality’ when you encounter someone else 180 degrees out of phase with you? This thread should give you a clue.

When you will die for sure you will realize that you have another body!
Read about OBE! |

I'm not going to die for sure. My will requires that my body be placed in a box before death and continue to perpetuate in a quantum dead/non-dead state forever! I'll have two bodies: dead and non-dead!
I’ve already read about OBE! Read about OBE!
