  1. could u explain what u mean by this further please.
  2. tracker's working again... must've been down yesterday.
  3. hdw is in canada & me & tj in uk. so i reckon late night our time / early evening ur time... if not, we could do a weekend.
  4. i haven't played it for a long time either... hmmmm... what day / time is best for u? im & tj... up for a game?
  5. woo hooo... aoe kicks ass!! i got civ 3 play the world... but i think there's another expansion pack now. my fav civ on aoe is the koreans (esp on water maps)... their turtle boats kick a$$. anyone wanna play a game of aoe online sometime? or even better c&c generals?
  6. finally!!!!! u get what i've been talking about... that's the question i asked about 15 posts back...
  7. i know many 'monas' who keep their childrens hair. would u consider them to be sikhs?
  8. that's a bit of a cop out! what then is "something that is wrong"? (& don't say a sin! )
  9. what do u mean by "self"? aware of ourselves as thinking individuals or aware of ourselves as something beyond the physical? also... it does not explain why we existed in this form for 150,000 years without "growing". as i said before, i doubt it... due to the fact that we existed for so long as homo sapiens with no evidence of the development of complex language. it appears that just as we need a spiritual guru to realise the true nature of existence, we also need a language guru to access higher order brain functions.
  10. i've set up the tracker at www.kompletlywyred.com & seed whenever i have my computer on... which is usually most of the time. but i've just seen that i'm having a problem connecting to the tracker... it was working fine yesterday. hmmm... i'll check it out. a tracker can be setup to run from this site... do u want me to look into it?
  11. no... it actually comes from nicaragua. u see, there were some aztecs who got lost while fishing in the pacific ocean & landed in china. from there they headed west believing they would one day reach their own land (they were very advanced & had long since realised the world was round.) along the journey they passed through punjab, where the jat farmers laughed at their elasticated shorts. once the aztecs showed the punjabis that the shorts saved time because u didn't have to tie a nala, the lazy punjabis adopted them... naming them nicar after the country the aztecs came from. hope that helps.
  12. i'm a fan of strategy games... haven't played any in a while though. last one i got was c&c generals: zero hour.
  13. according to sgpc rehat it's supposed to be a kacchera. :roll:
  14. so u believe that to follow something without believing/understanding it to a certain level is a sin? what is sin? i cannot agree nor disagree with your example without knowing how u define 'sin'.
  15. the painting lookes eerily like my friends dad... it's almost spot on. that's spooky! :shock: maybe next time i should touch his feet!
  16. & how does that link in with sin?
  17. 8) perhaps self-conscious wasn't the right term. dolphins can also recognise themselves in mirrors. what i mean is that we as humans can through careful introspection analyse our very thought patterns & change them. we can think beyond what our 5 senses are telling us... giving us culture, music & the arts. now whether any animals have the ability to do the same is a matter up for debate. certainly none have so far created their own culture. just remembered something else which reiterates my point regarding feral children. we have existed as homo sapiens on this planet for 200,000 years, yet there is no evidence of any culture/arts for the first 150,000 years of that time. it is in the last 50,000 years that all the civilisations of mankind have been created. what was it that happened 50,000 years ago that triggered this explosion of abilities? some believe that it is because that is when humans first left the confines of the small region of north east africa where they resided. of course it could also be argued that it was an ability to question beyond what was accepted that encouraged humans to go out & explore.
  18. i agree i disagree. i may agree with the above statement, but i disagree that this is what the tukh is saying. u have inferred that because the message is not that kesh is unimportant, it must mean that kesh is important. that is an illogical step. also, ce has never said kesh is unimportant. perhaps if i wasn't so lazy & looked it up, the context may provide more answers. i agree.
  19. according to the documentary & the research done on feral children, it would appear that the answer is no. to paraphrase 'the truman show', "we accept the reality of the world with which we are faced." how can we have a realisation of something beyond our sphere of existence unless it is something innate in our nature... something we are born with. the inability of feral children to grasp the finer points of language suggests that higher thought processes are not inherent to us, but have to be 'learnt' (that is based on the assumption that language is essential to 'human thinking'). those are my own thoughts based on just a couple of articles & a documentary... perhaps someone like tsingh could add more. but this does raise the question of how we have raised our awareness to a stage of self-consciousness... which is something i mentioned earlier... another question is, on a spiritual level, are we inherently aware or capable of discerning the true nature of reality (achieving realisation), or is this only possible through the teachings of a guru/teacher?
