Ugh, I remember back in the '70's when those little pyramids became popular and seemingly everyone was buying one and sitting in it. Even Mother Earth News was pushing them to raise rabbits!
 

I remember people would put plants in them or gem stones which were used for 'healing'. Did the rabbits levitate? LOL:D

If you sit inside a wooden pyramid shaped frame for exactly 20 minutes while reciting the words to your favorite rock song backwards, your gonna reach nirvana - but be careful, you might catch fire, so have a bucket of water handy before you go in. :D

:lofl: Given that most of these wacky ideas originate in the US, usually California, I deduce that the set of sane Americans is a null set.

Took a lot longer than one minute to read his instructions. Basically you hold a bunch of bamboo poles together with twine and rubber bands. :rolleyes:

Well, I'm not a complete skeptic, and have actually been in one - so why not?

As with so many things that Westerners have co-opted from other times and other cultures, I fear that the majority of users are using them wrong, usually because they buy into the over-simplification of them.

Granted a pyramid has a certain geometric precision and that in itself has a certain power, but I severely doubt that my wearing a pyramid hat will increase my connection with the cosmos.

Besides, I do MUCH better in circles!

The posts on the subject of infinity are very thought provoking and show that the human mind is resourceful in understanding difficult concepts. Infinity can, in a way, be imagined. But, if you try to imagine an infinite number of universes, the mind faces overload.
 
Research Hilbert spaces, Bell paradox, and early Christian esoteric concepts of re-incarnation.
 
I rather think (not believe) that if there is an afterlife it must be something like the wormhole in Deep Space Nine. It would have to be in some realm that is independent of time and space. In other words an existence that is "non linear, non corporeal".

IMO this is also a pretty good metaphor for that which we call God.
 
Why stop there?

How many angels can fit on the head of a pin? (Aquinas)

how long can a string with no width be to fit inside a circle? (Feynman)

how many iterations in a cantor set to make an image? (Cantor)

how many re-incarnations does it take to create a reality (Enoch)
