Never tried the grip, still. But then again, I'm one of those dudes that rides stock bushings in my trucks, so I can't tell the difference in anything.

Carnie's the shit.

I've tried the grip and never felt anything special. Maybe that one time but I guess I was drunk then.

Sorry, which 4 dimensions are these again?

"Crystals are made by mother earth and radiate to much higher dimensions and therefore bring in more light- ie the diamond- how did ancient people know a simple looking rock, contained so much light? A quartz crystal in nature is much more impressive, with its clarity and facets. Well, it was the magi, the wizards, and the holy shaman that "felt" the power of this simple rock and then found out through faceting that it contains more light than any other mineral."

Yeah? If minerals contain light, why can't I see them in the dark? Are you sure you don't mean refracts more light than any other mineral? Because quartz has an index of refraction between 1.5 - 1.6 which is pretty low on the scale compared to other crystals.

" Like, we got three brains. So where did the reptilian brain come from and how come a monkey aint got one? So I went to school for that. And I realized that was complete bullshit."

Really? So monkeys don't have a basal ganglia (the complex known as the reptilian brain) like all other mammals and all of my neuroscience textbooks are lying?

"He talked about them, but I can't quite follow Ari. He's a fast talker, he has a lot of information he wants to share, centuries of knowledge, and he touches only briefly on large topics before he's on to the next subject."

How convenient for him. Sounds like the tactics of a snake oil salesman.

If he actually believes what he's saying he's a closed-minded idiot
If not he's an unrelenting asshole and one hell of a marketer.

Post by: Random Matt on May 25, 2011, 08:44:43 PM: 4 dimensions are often mistakenly referenced as length, wide, height (the accepted 3) and time (a dimension, but it's different. television is not 3 dimensional). Holograms are technically 2 dimensional, not 4.

-Real shitty first post, huh?
