Your evidence is often times correct, your conclusions...not so much. Relating it back to the point of this thread, that's a difference between you and a rational skeptic
.. but I don't want this to be a slight against Muir. There is a voice in this world which entices and tries to convince but really has no power. We give it power by listening and generating fear.
I just wish more happened when you stop listening, like instantaneously. It's a good thing I have other interests.
Cheers for the welcome. Have you had a similar experience or is it that you prefer a scientific view of things?

It was your statement about prefering life to death which I was affirming, I was also trolling Muir, to be honest, he figures that anyone who disagrees with him are masonic agents of the illuminati.

I don't play computer games and have never played assasisns creed neither do i have any knowledge about it beyond havign seen flashes of people jumping about buildings on TV adverts
I live in scotland which has a strong masonic history
We have a legend here that the templars came here when they fled France as the government clamp down came
So i do have an interest in them and have read lots of history and 'psuedo-history' books on the matter
I think a lot of people are being used as dupes becauae they are ignorant of certain things like their banking system

Having had unusual experiences myself I tend to want to understand and somehow allieviate the cycle of paranoia which can come about from following information trails as such as after a time it's better to do something else.
I have another brother who barely interacts with the world and has real issues with women due to reading too much about the Illuminati and other such materials. He already had major trust issues and all that stuff pushed at the more anti social aspects of his character. It's not a good thing to observe. The more peaceable one becomes around someone caught in religious fervour the more they suspect you. It is a hard thing to observe.

Any sort of skepticism or even simple disinterest, isnt going to chime well with a true believer of any sort.
There's a lot of the crazier ideological strains or politics or conspiracy theories remind me of the margins of fandom too, like the nuttier team edward and team jacob stuff at the time when Twilight still had appeal instead of being seen for what it was/is today (hopefully), the assasin's creed jibe was first made on this forum by another poster but its relevent too because the same sorts of personality structures or character structures I think is underlying it all.
I dont know how much of it is accidential but I think most of it is unconscious.

Absolutely! I can't converse well enough yet to openly psycho-analyse this aspect so can only use my own experience and observations - but I too see it is definitely linked to the unconscious.
Personally, I am on a bit of a quest to tease apart what is me and what is the other due to having experience of rages as a child and being aware of the supernatural. Things which are 'special' became a dominant interest because of these factors and I think I have been trying to control my feelings from experiencing too much raw, primal emotion. Now, this has been useful in many regards as I do trust my intuition but when I found out about the Illuminati/evil beyond what I could already sense supernaturally it really threw me! - but I am determined to focus on enjoying my life and being a better communicator and friend. It's like being perpetually bullied otherwise and really I think it best to unravel the unconscious and live.

Erich Fromm writes a lot about the social unconscious and social character, those were his grand theories anyway, I think reading his stuff can assist in developing the insight necessary to be able to cope critically with how things are.

I have read The art of loving by Fromm and his books will take pride of place in my study. Well, they will take up a lot of space as he he wrote a lot! Have you read much from him?
