Bert, hi,

Fascinating! For example?

Conservation of Energy.

Where's the energy go when we die?

I theorized that it was reborn in some form.

And with the rapidly dwindling number of animals and plants that it was more likely to be reborn as another human.

By the same token, imagine if you can tap into the wealth of knowledge and experience from past lives?

Turning 18 and getting the collective knowledge of a hundred lifetimes would be a time saver.

Still, I'd prefer knowing what happened in my past lives.

Imagine what a wealth of information has been lost over the ages.

It not totally clear where the energy goes - and not predictable.

There are the shards of life essences, whole entities, and such things which free-float in our plane. There the several planes of existance, too. There the ley lines they can integrate with. Many variants possible.

Ah, the comfort of the idiopsychology.

Ron, hi,

Originating in one's own mind, not in another.

The word idiot shares the same prefix idio, but not meaning whatsoever.

Absolutely correct.

Technology doesn't equal sheer knowledge or wisdom.

If we're so fucking smart, how come there's only a handful of us that deal with the Supernatural.

Balance.

Interesting theory.

Bert, hi,

Can you be more specific, please?

The more animalistic monsters and demons, that would apply to. The more intelligent ones would always have hid themselves as such and just taken advantage of humanity's growing ignorance to act with more and more strength.

Bert, hi,

Population growth not the same as ingorance growth. Certainly it not augments the intelligent evil's powers!

Balance.

It much higher than just good/evil smart/ignorant. There is good and evil forever. Must be so. Just like must always be predators and prey.

Aren't the concepts of Good and Evil products of Society which is why every culture has taboos unique to it?

Conceptualisation changes, sure, but that not changes True Reality. We can say the Earth is flat and sincerely believe it, but it still roundish. Interestingly, it might not be roundish either. We only perceive roundness.

Humans somewhat unique they can be extremely evil, extremely good, somewhere in between, and change the mind--be reborn, for example. Many creatures are trapped by their nature. Humans also somewhat unique because they can turn their head from the evil, if only because it convenient.

I think KonThaak would say think Light and Dark. That might bring us closer.

Bert, hi,

It the confusing situation. Talk through it.

Ah, you are bashful. We shall continue in private then.

I meant you could grab any person who happened to be crazy in some way and describe them colloquially as a "loon".

But not you?

All cured!

I love to solve the problems.

Do you know Natasha by some chance? Are you two related?

Bert, hi,

Of course I know her. And we are related in many ways.

And it ok you not thank me for helping you. It was my pleasure!

Uhhh, thank you. So, you fight mummies and such.
