Cancer Posted May 1, 2012 Report Share Posted May 1, 2012 Re: Longest Running Thread EVER Well ... no, not without adding a lot of mass to it, a one solar mass star can't explode. And by "a lot" here I mean an amount comparable or larger than its starting mass. A puny planet can't do that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bazza Posted May 7, 2012 Report Share Posted May 7, 2012 Re: Longest Running Thread EVER "All deities of the ancient theologies were known to the initiated as the inhabitants not of Olympus but of the human soul. They were not mere products of man's imagination any more than his heart, lungs, and stomach are products of his imagination. On the contrary, they were very real forces belonging both to nature (the macrocosm), and man (the microcosm). Occultism was thus the art of living with one's gods and demons, and you had to know how to deal with them in yourself before you could deal with them in the universe." ~ Alan Watts I'd replace Occultism with Spirituality, but the gist is the same.
