There would be plenty of difference. Just as with the following two comparisons.

The Nile and the Amazon rivers.

This lit candle on the right, and that lit candle on the left.

Linguistically circular nonsense from you there. You are just creating two words for the same thing it seems - and then acting like there is some implication for that.

We "know" something exists. It is the part of me communicating with the equivalent part of you. Regardless of what we want to call that - soul ego consciousness sentience or whatever - your experience during a drug trip in no way suggests as true any of the things we have been discussing on this thread together so far.

You can experience through drugs - and through other methods - the sensations of leaving your own body or of travelling to another dimension or realm. I have frequently had all those experiences myself.

The distinction is that there is no reason to think you actually did leave the body or go to another realm. That you experienced a feeling that felt like you did - I have absolutely no doubt at all.

If one realm exists, why not another? When does one begin to exist on realm or another?

I am not sure I understand the question as it applies to my post. No one - at least not me - is suggesting the other realm does not exist. Just saying we have no reason to think it does. Or specifically that even if it does - that using a particular drug transported the City Data User above there.

I am even less sure what the laws of motion have to do with it

Hindus have the spirit of Krishna abiding on their spirits. Krishna is the divine Father god, Vishnu incarnated into human form. Which is the real true religion, really??????

There is no reason that I know of why 'another' Realm exists. We just don't have any convincing evidence presented for it.

You can rubber stamp that phrase on every R/S thread topic and claim some type of victory but I thought it was pretty much understood for every action there's a reaction.

"Which religion is the true religion?" NONE of them!

But OP, come on, you must be punking us. No one could (seriously) ask such a silly question.


The bible clearly shows that Jesus began a new religion( Acts24:5)-- It most certainly was not the religion that came out of Rome or any of her 33,999 branches. But it is a christian religion--One single religion( 1Corinthians 1:10)

It's not a Victory but a logical position on claims that do not have good evidence. They may be logically possible, but there is no logical reason to believe it. It's just too easy to be a 'Win'. It 's more of a 'basics' starting point.
