    Polyamorists who have had near death experiences

    Well we all have one thing in common on this site, we are all polyamorists. Call it what you may, coincidence, destiny, serendipity, etc, etc, we're all together here in this one place at the same one time. (With teleology telling me, "for a reason") (which you may or may not share.) As...

    Polyamorists who have had near death experiences

    Hmph. Interesting. I really want to thank you Kev. This is probably the most civil and interesting conversation I've had with an atheist in a long time, even if we differ on things like "coincidence" and "unremarkable incidences". I guess the saying is true, some people see the world as if...

    Polyamorists who have had near death experiences

    Welcome to the 4th level I'm watching. Classical and quantum physics...at the top of a list of sciences. Although I'm unclear about your comment concerning the word "coincidence". According to google it's synonymous with destiny and serendipity. In Al-Anon they had piece of literature "Just...

    Polyamorists who have had near death experiences

    No disrespect taken. I'm a very unusual Christian. For me to be and remain objective I can also take a more agnostic perspective. I don't think anyone is lost (and that comes from scripture itself btw. ) I'm more of a skeptic than Shermer and Thomas, however, so I will be checking out (probably...

    Polyamorists who have had near death experiences

    One of my (past) brother-mates in a hinge with my current secondary, spent an entire summer re-building a Mustang (aka suicide machine). He's the only guy I know that spun out a car going up a steep hill, ran it up a guide wire, hit the pole, ran it up the wire again, hit the pole again, and by...

    Polyamorists who have had near death experiences

    Nancy "rayguns" Reagan (of all people) was once asked if she believed in an afterlife. Her answer was, "Well it can't any more of a miracle than us showing up here in the first place. " That answer stuck with me for some reason.

    Polyamorists who have had near death experiences

    Hi Evie, I know exactly what you mean. I facilitate the local Tai Chi, Qigong and Tai Chi Chih meetup group. ( Chi or Qi meaning life force energy) (Bio-electrical.) I was also into tantra as was John Humphrey Noyes of the Oneida commune in the 19th century. One of my paramori is an INFJ who is...

    Polyamorists who have had near death experiences

    You bring up valid points, Kev. I've never been contacted by a dead person either, nor even dreamed of such a thing, but I did have several deja vouses, and one particular one stands out that did materialize. It was a dream that I, an atheist at the time, had a dream of sitting on a bridge with...

    Polyamorists who have had near death experiences

    Hi Kev, I too was an atheist, or rather atheist leaning. (It's a good probability you're an INTJ as well, based on your statements, but then why would I even suggest that?) How would an hallucination or memory of any kind take place when both EEG's and EKG's flatline. Neural function ends, and...

    Polyamorists who have had near death experiences

    Hi Al, Age means nothing to me, not when you have a "forever" mindset, (like me that is.) We have way more in common than you think. I'm no stranger to MMF triads, I thoroughly love'em, but found them too unstable for my liking. I figure two plus two MMFF could be a more stable form for me and...

    Polyamorists who have had near death experiences

    PS.- I'm the firstborn Hero type (COA) child of an alcoholic from a quasi-dysfunctional family. I've always preferred more than one, I always wondered why? Then put two and two together, in several ways, ..... not thinking long to say,"Duh". It was obvious to me as to "why", if not to others...

    Polyamorists who have had near death experiences

    Hi Kev, Actually I've been looking into NDE's recently from all perspectives (again) and discussing both resurrection vs reincarnation with my yoga teacher, within a moksha vs samsara framework, and in this context, Bible vs Bardo Thodol comes up. ( I do know those who have had an NDE, and...

    Openness and other personality traits (link to personality test in thread)

    *Openness- 96 % *Conscientiousness- 79 % *Extraversion- 54 % *Agreeableness- 69 % *Neuroticism- 27 % ==================================== I'm surprised by the extraversion result since I'm very much an Introvert, and score an INTJ-A consistently. I like my peace, and serenity, and my home...

    Poly-Friendly Christians?

    That part of Christianity I call churchianity, people who usually get their spirituality from an inherited source and perspective and are culturally brainwashed into believing it as "normal." In Genesis it also says Abraham had at least three paramori (at the request of Sarah, no less), and...

    Polyamorists who have had near death experiences

    Hi guys, I'm a Christian polyamorist (polyfide), (Hebrew roots with a side order of Taoist and Tibetan Buddhist tossed in as well), 12 step ACOA and a polyamorist activist), MBTI type INTJ. As an INTJ I'm very open minded, curious, yet spiritually minded, which seems to be an odd combination. I...
