View Full Version : Everything I've said has been a Lie! Jocariah 12-12-03, 12:50 PM ... all of us are liars - are we not? Cheers . AntonK 12-12-03, 02:20 PM Anyone surprised? I know im not. VRob 12-12-03, 02:33 PM I never read his thread anyways. 2inquisitive 12-12-03, 03:21 PM by Jocariah: I have nothing whatsoever to prove, or disprove (for that matter I imagine). also: You're all (those interested in this sort of thing) too easily deceived, if you ask me. ================================================== Quite an arrogant statement there bub, considering you never made a claim. Did your thesis turn out like you thought it would? Easy to fool the UFO nutters, huh? I'll wager in your thesis, you had the whole sciforum community fooled. In reality, you were pathetic. ScRaMbLe 12-12-03, 08:35 PM I have been working on my thesis, and I am now finished. I dont think you actually "fooled" anyone Joc. However, to me, you did seem sincere in your belief, despite the obvious shortcomings in your answers to my questions. This caused me to entertain the possibility that you were perhaps mentally ill. So I tried to ask you questions which would unravel you without causing you too much damage. Schizopherenia is not a joke. Since we were the "subjects" of your "experiment" please post your "thesis" for us to read, as I do not believe it exists. I think it is more likely that you realised you were becoming unravelled and are looking for a way out to save face. Thesis! :p ScRaMbLe 12-12-03, 08:59 PM Having just quickly reviewed all 11 pages of your thread, not once does a single post by anyone infer that they truly believed you! Some posters tried to humour you, some tried to make the mental patient feel good about himself, some corrected your grammer, some mocked you and most just ignored you completely! NO-ONE took your supposed "bait". So I would be VERY interested to see which words, representing an acheivement of your goals, you actually filled your "thesis" with! ...Or was I reading the wrong thread? :p spookz 12-12-03, 10:02 PM i think he is trying to say that he does not believe in what he writes. not that he lies. a quick perusal of his sayings will show that they are mostly truisms an obvious idiot who imagines himself in some hole Jocariah 12-12-03, 10:25 PM Am I lying when I say that 'Everything I've said is a lie' - what shall you choose to believe? Is that answer tied to your belief system - to the way in which you choose to see the world? Returning to it often times, to reinforce preconceptions, which are long held. “See I told you so!” “He’s a fake – a liar” “I knew it all along” :) Jocariah 12-13-03, 11:50 AM Now, there is evidence to support both points of view. On one hand my statement that I have lied, with logic to support the apparent reason behind such a lie - on the other hand, hundreds of posts over the past year or so, outlining my thoughts, ideas and concepts in great detail, on matters that were of interest to me. Whether I have been a liar all along, or I am what I have said I am, it is left for the reader, and the reader alone to determine. Believe whatsoever you choose. Now both doubters and believers have sufficient evidence to draw dissimilar conclusions, each with the ability to support those conclusions based on the circumstances at hand. And isn't that how all of life is as well - evidence, present and accessible, for all kinds of conclusions, based entirely on one's 'predisposition', no doubt. Cheers . ArcticChill2k3 12-14-03, 12:16 PM wow, finally you got of sniffing crack, congraduations, now go smoke some weed, its good for u SkinWalker 12-14-03, 08:02 PM Cool. Can we see your thesis? A lot of students put them on the web for comment or review.... Not that you have to. ScRaMbLe 12-15-03, 01:52 AM Joc, we both know there is no thesis, dont try to set yourself up as some kind of enigma... You tried that already, remember? Perhaps you should increase your medication for a while... :) Jocariah 12-15-03, 10:49 AM Originally posted by ScRaMbLe Joc, we both know there is no thesis, dont try to set yourself up as some kind of enigma... You tried that already, remember? Perhaps you should increase your medication for a while... :) .................... The point in all of this is that everyone gets to make his or her own determination based on the evidence at hand. Am I who I say I am? Am I a liar? Am I crazy? Choose whatever you will – there is no enigma here, rather a choice to be made. My point, if I were to have one, is that your choice will be made via (or by way of) your ‘predisposition’ to this subject, or your observation of my participation in it, and that you will pull (or key into) those facts (and only those facts) necessary to assemble a conclusion based upon your predisposition in this matter. So that, by way of your perspective (predisposition) of a matter, your natural inclination is to assemble only those facts, only that information, necessary to help you to adhere to conclusions you were already predisposed to make (based on your underlying belief system - or view of the world). You see, by so doing, you are simply going about to reinforce your underlying belief system, your underlying view of the world - your underlying 'perspective', whatever that may be. Can you see what I am saying? Think about this. You think that you are starting with a clean slate each time, but you are not - you are already biased toward conclusions based on your perspective. You think you have a choice in the matter, but you don't - your perspective, your predisposition, determines what information, what facts you will use to assemble your conclusions. You are continually, and at all times, limited by your perspective - so that whether or not you are even aware that you have one (i.e., a perspective), is moot. . Jocariah 12-15-03, 11:09 AM No one starts with a level playing field. Whatever we encounter is immediately biased, or slanted, toward our 'existing worldview'. No one goes about to assemble information that forces them toward conclusions contrary to their existing worldview. But the reverse is the case. We continually assemble information, so as to draw us toward conclusions, reinforcing our worldview. . spookz 12-15-03, 12:49 PM this is bullshit move this thread/close it it has no point this bum is gonna take this up to another 1000 posts all by his wacky ass self. Jocariah 12-15-03, 01:57 PM Originally posted by spookz this is bullshit move this thread/close it it has no point this bum is gonna take this up to another 1000 posts all by his wacky ass self. It is apparent that you do not hear what it is that I am saying, and your frustration is apparent to me as well. No one is (at least to my knowledge) forcing you to read or make your thoughts known here. That being the case, why participate, as you have done by way of your comments, in this thread, if it causes you such frustration? Simply by ignoring it, you may cause yourself less frustration. You see, it's OK not to understand what I am driving at - my intent has never been to change any one's worldview or perspective on anything whatsoever. We should all believe whatsoever we choose. And you have made your choice known, quite succinctly, by way of your remarks here - good for you. But let me ask you something in closing, should all threads that you don't understand or with which you don't agree be banished? And in so saying, is it that you mean to say that you understand all that there is to understand in the world? Or put yet another way, if you don't understand it, it doesn't exist - if you don't agree with it, it doesn't belong being heard. It is no wonder that you do not understand my words; you don't understand your own. Cheers. moementum7 12-15-03, 06:14 PM hEY jOCARIA.:) Interesting to say the least, in a very individualistic way. I thought you wrote all of those posts to learn for yourself. I admit that I didn't finish any single post of yours because it was all just your typical "identity crisis" type of mysticism that is abundant today. I was just being polite, or at least trying to be in regards to any of your posts. I am curious though, who do you think was decieved by your writings, what exactly were you trying to write about, and what was it that you think they were decieved about?:confused: Honestly I don't think that your writings have had the effect on anyone here as much as you would like to believe or have built up in your own mind. Beleive me there has been more than its fair share of self appoited ramblers on here. And compared to some of them yours was less than captivating. Sorry if this is not what you want to hear. Good luck on your thesis. Hope you can get something useful out of it. spookz 12-15-03, 06:17 PM It is apparent that you do not hear what it is that I am saying, and your frustration is apparent to me as well. you lie No one is (at least to my knowledge) forcing you to read or make your thoughts known here. you lie again Simply by ignoring it, you may cause yourself less frustration. mistruth You see, it's OK not to understand what I am driving at - my intent has never been to change any one's worldview or perspective on anything whatsoever. lying ass We should all believe whatsoever we choose. And you have made your choice known, quite succinctly, by way of your remarks here - good for you. liar Or put yet another way, if you don't understand it, it doesn't exist - if you don't agree with it, it doesn't belong being heard. lying liar It is no wonder that you do not understand my words; you don't understand your own. more lies Cheers. lies all lies moementum7 12-15-03, 06:40 PM Good point Spookz. Jocariah 12-15-03, 07:15 PM And yet again my point is made manifest - we all take what it is that we need, from that which we encounter, for there is one thing that we all share; the need to assemble things in accordance with our worldview, so as to reinforce it, continually, as we go along. This has simply been my journal; rather than using a notebook, as I have done nearly all my life, I posted here and elsewhere. The bonus for me has been to see. Seeing is all there is; seeing by way of our mind, that is. I am appreciative to have been here, and to see what I have seen. I think it may be that my writing is over - at least at this point in time. Most abductees fear their keepers, those gray beings that all abductees have - whether they are consciously aware of their presence in their life in another matter altogether. My point is that my keepers I know, I don't fear them - you on the other hand scare me at times. How might I explain this? It's the darkness of your ignorance - it seems to know no bounds. And even when confronted with enlightenment, you are set, bound and determined you are, to wipe it out, to kill it off if you could only, by whatever means possible. It is by way of fear that you do this, and you don't recognize this fear that you operate out of, nor your actions, which come by way of this fear – you do it automatically, without awareness. But then, all of this is not my concern - this is the nature of man. And I grateful as I am, that I am this half-breed, genetic mix. It is the ignorance of man that is at times so unsettling to me. But I am not alone, for many half-breeds exist. We abductees, populating your world. So fear on my friends, for that is your nature, after all. Or better yet, deny that any of us exist; that aliens exist. Just think that we are simply crazy, and your own worldview may remain intact – at least for the time being, that is. Cheers . spookz 12-16-03, 12:21 AM another thesis in the making i see ScRaMbLe 12-16-03, 01:15 AM spookz - :p ScRaMbLe 12-16-03, 01:34 AM Hey knob JOCkey - read what you are writing. You cant make any kind of valid point by telling people their opinion then opposing it. It doesn't work like that. It is no wonder that you do not understand my words; you don't understand your own. Who doesn't understand? Why are you saying we don't understand when you cant make up your mind if you're writing a thesis or being ASSimilated??!! If you truly are as confused inside as you appear to be, get some help. Please. If not, then f**k off. Please. Crunchy Cat 12-16-03, 01:46 AM Everything I've said has been a Lie! Congratulations. You're a liar.

Hello ripleofdeath, The name was given to me; I did not choose it for myself. However, I did choose to use it as my name here - my name is Joseph. I do not have a thesis, I lied. You should not assume I am ethical – I may not be ethical. Lastly, I am not being scientific at all. If you wish to have a dialogue with me, keep in mind that I am a liar, and may or may not be ethical. Cheers .

What you are insinuating, is that I have knowingly plagiarized. You should always seek to substantiate accusations prior to making them. Remember, what is said, can not be unsaid. Therefore – show me your proof my good man; or recant. Cheers . Jocariah 12-17-03, 05:57 PM Originally posted by Votorx If ya'll don't care that he was lying why do you keep posting in this topic? Exactly right. There are many liars here - my lies have been revealed, whereas others lie by way of their actions, being in conflict with their words. Cheers .

Jocariah 12-17-03, 06:06 PM The subconscious mind is at the core of all that I write, and all that I have written – as well as all of my actions and inactions here. If you find yourself reading this (and the number of hits belie any comments to the contrary), then you are reading this for a reason. And that reason is? Jocariah 12-17-03, 10:04 PM Having a dialogue with me is easy; just keep in mind that I know you better than you know yourself. Which isn’t saying much, really, because you don’t know yourself, at all. If you think that statement arrogant or condescending, that is one possibility, but another is that it is a correct one. Tell me your take on the subconscious mind, and I in turn will tell you mine. And if you have no understanding of your own subconscious mind, then how in the world is that possible? After all, it is your own subconscious mind, and yet you are ignorant of its place, purpose, function or operation in ‘your’ life. Step One: realize your ignorance of your self. Step Two: ask yourself why in the world are you so ignorant of who you are (the make-up of who you are, all facets of self). Step Three: (well, this step is your call) , Jocariah 12-17-03, 10:16 PM Animals appear in many varieties – there is an abundance of animals on this planet. Why is that, why might that be – what purpose might they serve? Things do not appear without purpose. There is no wasted effort here. Why do they appear to be less than us in many ways? What is it that they are here to observe? . Jocariah 12-17-03, 10:33 PM Your ignorance is so profuse, that you are in fact ignorant of your own ignorance. Were it not for the fact that there are so many of you, in your same position, it might be of concern to you - thankfully, mutual abundance of condition, breeds contentment. You are lost and adrift in your own ignorance, and I, adrift with you it seems, howbeit knowing as I do both worlds – which of course is of no consolation to me whatsoever....Nor you apparently. .

They occupy a niche ripleofdeath 12-18-03, 07:39 AM Jocariah so far you have said nothing that seperates you from a self absorbed religouse radical that seeks to disturb other people with no empathy yet you claim to know higher levels of self understanding this means you have gone past a point of caring for others you are obviousely content to be selfish and therefor no better than any other that you seek to victimise be condersending comments and inference i know of the religouse doctrine you are preaching from but have no desire to go into its books and theorys to extract the parts you are quoting in a cut and paste manner you seem very much like the type that insights chaos to find self content in distracting attention away from your own issues maybe your thesis is your path to self enlightenment which may take several life times (in accordance with your own religouse preaching) why are you posting such religouse things in pseudoscience it should be in the religion forum people who do such things to attempt to drag down forums is very old and trol like behaviour read the rules of the site Jocariah 12-18-03, 02:36 PM Originally posted by ripleofdeath Jocariah, so far you have said nothing that seperates you from a self absorbed religouse radical ....... i know of the religouse doctrine you are preaching from but have no desire to go into its books and theorys to extract the parts you are quoting in a cut and paste manner ....... (etc.) My good man, have enough intestinal fortitude and backbone to do your homework and present us with these books and theories you say I am plagiarizing. Foundationless claims do nothing but impede and destroy your own credibility. Make that extra effort necessary to show me up for the fraud that you say I am, so that all your brethren, right here - right now, may revel in you formidable prose, having exposed me as a fake and charlatan. Come on now, we know you can do it. Cheers . Jocariah 12-18-03, 02:54 PM Prove me a plagiarist? I dare you to try! The problem is you can't - no one can, because my words are original; they are my words alone, and have always been so. Your small-mindedness cannot grasp the fact that you are, and have always been speaking to an original. Right here in this odd little thread, lost amongst countless other threads, buried here, relatively out of sight. Your mind is incapable of grasping original thought. But I have known that all along. And now you do as well.

BigBlueHead 12-19-03, 02:34 PM Condescension is a fine art; your personal type is coarse and offensive, and also (as I previously said) highly unoriginal to the point of being cliché. Also you yourself have called the value of your sincerity into question... so what are we left with? The quality of your prose, which is sorely lacking. Certainly your claims of originality are proving to be a lie, which I guess goes along with what you've been telling us...

Time is wasting. Cheers . BigBlueHead 12-19-03, 04:03 PM My point, since you ask, is that by undermining the benefit of the doubt you have removed the only redeeming quality that you had: the appearance of honesty. Since your maunderings were pretty dreary - what I read of them, for I assumed that your "spiritual journey" would have progressed farther in your later posts - the only allure of any kind that they had was that they might represent a true, if flawed and thoughtless, intellectual pursuit. What you have told everyone by calling your honesty into doubt is that, not only are you a dreary little person with no interesting thoughts that you wish to share, but that you have deliberately wasted their time along with your own by misrepresenting your intent. It is as if you had given away free tickets to a show that doesn't exist. Your subsequent protestations of originality mean about as much to me as the unpleasant free verse poetry of bitter high school students who wonder why God does not like them. Certainly, protesting your own originality, accusing all others of being incapable of said, and then claiming that you somehow know all about them from the few encouraging words that they have typed, is an unfair way to characterize other people. In conclusion, you suck. Jocariah 12-19-03, 06:28 PM BigBlueHead, Your point, although negative in nature, was well taken and clearly understood. Thanks for taking time to comment.

My good man, all people lie, it's simply a matter of degrees. Observing actions over time, helps to paint a picture of intent. Understand a person's intent, chances are you'll understand the person. As an example, look at all of my posts over time, and you'll see my intent - observe only my recent posts, and you'll be misled. Take in the broad overview and you'll always have more information than a more recent, shorter time-period, experience. If you, or anyone for that matter, are too lazy to take the time, or make the effort to observe over a longer period of time, then you do not have all of the information necessary. It's always about information - isn't it? Cheers. 2inquisitive 12-20-03, 04:08 PM Sorry, Jocariah, it is about the CREDIBILITY of the evidence.

Interactive belief? Sorry, but I'm not familiar with that concept - but then I am ignorant of many things, and knowledgeable only of a few. I might be able to understand your question if you could explain what is meant by your usage of the term 'interactive belief'. In your explanation, please don't assume I know things that you know - even the simplest of things that you understand may be foreign to me, especially as it pertains to philosophy and the ideas of others. Cheers Jocariah 12-22-03, 06:49 PM Over time, as we become acquainted with the sheer magnitude of the unknown and the underlying complexity of our existence here, we tend to discount it. We have grown accustomed to it, simply because of our on-going familiarity with it. But it may be, at least in this writer’s opinion, that we need reminded of it, now and again, so as to rekindle our wonderment of this environment with which we co-exist; this sanctuary of ours, this jewel, sailing amongst the stars. . Jocariah 12-22-03, 06:56 PM It is through the impractical that we are able to gauge ourselves relative to the universe – the practical is far too overwhelming. Jocariah 12-22-03, 07:03 PM I often think that because I know of what I speak, that others should as well. And I suppose, although I am not certain, that I may not be alone in this internal naiveté of mine. . Jocariah 12-22-03, 07:11 PM There are followers and there are leaders; but who is it that directs the leaders for the followers to follow? Who sets their internal clocks, knowing full well that there will be those that follow? Leaders follow an internal script, so that even they themselves are followers as well. Jocariah 12-23-03, 02:22 PM After taking the time to reread my latter posts, I have become keenly aware of my brilliance – my only hope is that others of you may also be enlightened enough to see this for yourselves, and thereby share in it. Jocariah 12-24-03, 06:43 AM :D Jocariah 12-24-03, 10:51 AM NO PREDICTIONS HERE! Jocariah 12-24-03, 11:00 AM Imagine ‘your’ surprise - if this really came to be, you’d have to face the fact that I was a channeling, smart-ass’d, condescending, alien-breed, prophesying poster. How fun is that? :D . 2inquisitive 12-24-03, 11:04 PM War in two weeks. Well, since you know it is going to happen, I assume you would also know who the parties involved are. I assume this information comes from your "grey" programmers, not the human half of your hybrid self. If the "greys" know war is comming, they must be the ones planning the attack. Are you stating the earth will be attacked by your "grey" keepers within two weeks, Jocariah? If that happens, you might gain a little credibility. :rolleyes: ScRaMbLe 12-26-03, 02:46 AM War on earth? Never happen :p Why do you think we haven't heard from the mars probe yet? The Martians launched a first strike and destroyed it so we wouldn't see their war fleets amassing. The Martians are coming... The Martians are coming... Jocariah 12-27-03, 08:18 PM NO PREDICTIONS HERE! ScRaMbLe 12-27-03, 08:57 PM To reiterate, I said: "Within two weeks, a war will pop-up." Yes Joc we understand, but how is this war different to the other 50 or so wars currently going on across the planet at any given time? Or do your skills of prophesy only allow you to see into the future, not the present? ScRaMbLe 12-27-03, 08:59 PM ...and please, by all means, condescend away... 2inquisitive 12-27-03, 09:13 PM Jocriah, I did not say war would START in two weeks based on your "prophesy." I simply said "war in two weeks." Unless the war both begins and ends within two weeks, then the parties involved will be in a war in two weeks, based on your prophesy. Are you now saying the "war" will be very short, like a 48 hour "war" or something? Come on, give us specifics in your "prophesy." From whom do you recieve this "information"? Do they travel to the future and back at will, observing happenings on earth? The alien attack sanerio was just a satire, indicated by the "rolled eyes" smilie. Anyone can make predictions, they mean nothing unless they are very detailed AND come to pass. Again and again. Not to be condescending.

ScRaMbLe 12-30-03, 05:49 AM Hell Every friday Bigger fire (T.G.I.F.) BigBlueHead 12-30-03, 07:39 AM My prophecy is that, if there is indeed a war within two weeks, that someone will be killed. ScRaMbLe 12-30-03, 07:45 AM BTW.. Joc... Is there something you're not telling us? Do you live in California? Bought any petrol cans and lighters lately? :eek: Jocariah 12-30-03, 11:28 PM NO PREDICTIONS HERE! Jocariah 12-30-03, 11:31 PM so there you have it - 3 prophesies. you can count, can't you? Votorx 12-31-03, 07:26 PM Phrophecy #4 Jocariah In Bed 2 Men Jocariah 01-01-04, 06:40 PM NO PREDICTIONS HERE! Jocariah 01-01-04, 07:10 PM In a way, to me this is funny - you think the future is yet to come, and I'm here to say it has already taken place. So, as these events unfold into your 'now', you will become amazed, when in actually, all things are in existence, and that entails even the future. The options, as pertaining to my prophesies, are as follows: All three come to pass None come to pass Two of three come to pass One of three comes to pass But then, you don't know the future, do you? Votorx 01-01-04, 09:00 PM Of course the future is already set. But do you seriously believe that you are a fortune teller? Or are you one of those freaky remote viewing people who believe in the matrix and other crap like that? I personally believe that only 1 prophecy will come true. And that is the war. That can be solved with simple politics and following things such as the newspaper and the news. There is no psychic powers behind that. As for the rest of your "prophecies", i say bullshit.

I don't believe nor disbelieve anything, pertaining to my predictions – I never have. I don’t have a vested interest in seeing that they come to pass. After all, they are only predictions. However, I have been predicting things all of my life - it's part of who I am. I don’t seek it out, but rather, it seeks me out through dreams, visions and the like. When you grow up with it, as have I, it’s just a normal part of life. You see, you have no way of knowing the predictions that I have made that have come to pass. Two that come to mind are 9/11 and the capture of Saddam 12/13/03. Cheers Jocariah 01-02-04, 08:13 AM NO PREDICTIONS HERE! Ellimist 01-02-04, 04:11 PM Prophecies do not come true. People interpret them to come true. They see what they want to see. Bible Code. After the fact reasoning. And prophecies that have any similarity to actual events usually are from a giant pot of them. millions of random guesses thrown together, mere chance brings them out. People remember the positive, forget the wrongs... remember John Edward, the psychic. Millions of misses, a few hits. People only remember the hits. They want to believe. This is folly. Jocariah 01-02-04, 06:08 PM NO PREDICTIONS HERE! . Jocariah 01-02-04, 08:29 PM Predictions serve a much greater purpose than that of merely foretelling events to come. Predictions establish the teller in the minds of the hearers. Predictions usher in a point in history, a point that, once the predictions given comes to pass, gets cemented into the minds of the hearer They announce to those hearing the predictions that the teller is connected to the greater plan, connected in a way that is indefinable – a way that cannot be known. No, they are not merely the foretelling of events, that is the least of their purpose – predictions encapsulate a particular point in time. And predictions cannot be grasped by the mind, once the thing predicted has come to pass. The mind cannot wrap itself around the concept, afterwards. Predictions are simply another tool utilized by the ‘orchestrators’ of events that continually unfold for us. Now what else might I say in this matter? . Jocariah 01-02-04, 08:45 PM .. are we not all liars - in some form or another? Cheers JoojooSpaceape 01-03-04, 04:36 AM Glad to know your not the stupid filth baby i thought you were. Votorx 01-03-04, 12:13 PM Originally posted by Jocariah Everything I've said has been a Lie! Cheers About time i was waiting for you to say that. I wonder how many people actually believed that you were making real prophecies? It's actually quite funny how so many people are so very gullible, thank you for this Jocariah it was a good laugh. Jocariah 01-03-04, 08:23 PM Originally posted by Votorx About time i was waiting for you to say that. I wonder how many people actually believed that you were making real prophecies? It's actually quite funny how so many people are so very gullible, thank you for this Jocariah it was a good laugh. Along those lines, I had an interesting experience before the holidays. I occasionally write short articles in the business section of our local paper. I wrote an article outlining the concept of calculating the IRR, or Internal Rate of Return of an investment. As written, my article was 450 words. Evidently, the paper was running short on space that weekend and someone at the paper decided to edit my article down to 300 or so words (and change the title). Well, the resulting article made no sense whatsoever, I was mortified after reading it that Sunday morning - I don't even think I ate all day as a result. But to my surprise, instead of having to explain what happened, I was complemented several times the next day on having written such a great article. “If it appears in print, it must be true – even if I don’t understand it.” Cheers Jocariah 01-04-04, 11:44 AM BTW - please don't forget the prophecies, or their corresponding timetables; they are real prophecies. Cheers . Votorx 01-04-04, 12:15 PM Originally posted by Jocariah BTW - please don't forget the prophecies, or their corresponding timetables; they are real prophecies. Cheers . Im sure they are. |
