List 'em Steve, then we''ll talk. Dunno what kind of fags she smoked, proly some European brand, or maybe since she was so enamored of India she got those bidis.

Of course there have been numerous references to the Akashic Records before Madame Blavatsky, they just didn't call them, the Akashic Records. Does that mean they are real?

But, with your permission, perhaps we can discuss the possibility. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <mjackson74@...> wrote : Might you be willing to entertain the idea that the akashic records are just some esoteric bullshit that well meaning new age bullshiters made up, even if they really believed in their existence? I definitely include C Lutes in the ranks of esoteric new age bullshiters -for all his connections with Marshy and his declaration of being enlightened, he was as much of a fringe guy as anyone who ever gave a lecture Doesn't seem to be any record of akashic records before Blavatsky and her theosophical kooks - they made it up. Good for psychics and other readers who purport to read them for folks, always for a fee of course. From: "Bhairitu noozguru@...

Charlie Lutes liked to talk a lot ofabout it but I've read a number of others on the subject. Ididn't find them varying much in the description. Scientifically,if we radiate electrical impulses those might get caught in somekind of "ether" or "celestial realms". This is something that hasnot been researched much. This would mean that human beings are a "terminal" to a cosmiccomputer. :-D On 06/28/2015 02:17 PM, Michael Jackson mjackson74@...[FairfieldLife] wrote: whichakashic record you talkin' about? there are quite a fewdepending on which new age whacko you consult for yourrecords From:"Bhairitu noozguru@...

Theintellect is binary so not that hard tomodel. It is yes or no. A US Berkeleystudent did a graduate paper which Iread back in the 1990s. I had suggestedthis to our development team before thepaper was published and one of theproject leads came across it. I recallthe student got some interesting andunexpected results with his model. Neural networks are a way of learning. They've been around for awhile. Mybooks probably date back to the 1980s. But what if our brains are reallynothing more than receiver/transmittersthat communicate with the "akashicrecord"? Yeah, a bit "woo-woo" maybebut could indeed be a possibility. Might explain some things. On 06/28/2015 12:01 PM, anartaxius@...[FairfieldLife] wrote: Everythingis debatable. In an ironic sort ofway, artificial intelligence doesapply to humans. I often think ofyou as having artificialintelligence. Attempting toreplicate human intelligence hasso far failed because the humanneural network of connexions is socomplex. Many researchers areinvestigating insect intelligence,which is a simpler model to try tounderstand. That Google paper wasinteresting. Here is one of theconversations from that originalpaper: Human:what is the purpose of life?Machine:to serve the greater good.Human:what is the purpose of living?Machine:to live forever.Human:what is the purpose ofexistence?Machine:to find out what happens when weget to the planet earth.Human:where are y! ou now?Machine:i'm in the middle of nowhere.Human:what is the purpose of dying?Machine:to have a life.Human:what is the purpose of beingintelligent?Machine:to find out what it is.Human:what is the purpose of emotions?Machine:i don't know.
