scoliosis

a very unpleasant condition involving a curvature of the spine. for the information of the fucker who wrote the above definition, it DOES affect your life, and has caused me plenty of discomfort and pain, not least when i get asked if i'm pregnant every six months since i was 12! and standing in underwear being poked by a strange man. and wearing a back brace (ESSENTIALLY A PLASTIC CORSET) for two years.
so yes, those are the results of a severe scoliosis such as i have. and the operation wouldn't be too pleasant either. a deflated lung, a bone graft and a metal pole up your spine don't sound fun to me!

hi. it's called a scoliosis. i have one. it hurts.x

solipsis

Solipsis: A new word coined here and now. The third major paradigm after the first=Religion, the second=Science. Solipsis states that there is only the binary consciousness of the entire "universe" consisting of each individual's consciousness and the consciousness of the entire universe, which operate in a Yin/Yang fashion, co-creating each other. Each of our own consciousness' is Yang, being "smaller" and denser. The universal consciousness is Yin, being "larger" and more expanded. Ones consciousness is the only thing which exists instantaneously in the here and now and is a sympathetic hologramatic reflection of the entire universe seen through each of our own unique hologramatic lenses. The universe is embedded in our consciousness, as our consciousness is embedded in the universe. Everything else takes "time" to perceive and therefore doesn't exist in the here and now, the " past "and "future" are illusions embedded in the present. Neither science nor religion can find the seat of human consciousness. Rene Descartes (1596-1650) located the seat of consciousness in the pineal body, but modern science does not agree. Everything is an electro-magnetic being, not a "physical-material being". Human consciousness is not a physical place located in the brain or body, but is an electro-magnetic field outside of our body, it is the consciousness of the entire universe itself with "our own" interpretation, as seen thru each of our own individual lenses. This twin consciousness is the only consciousness that exists. All other people, places, things, and concepts, including our own "physical body," are extensions and part of this consciousness and are illusionary projections from our part of this binary consciousness. This binary field is all that exists. Our consciousness projects the universe at the same time it is projected to itself by the universe. This is what eastern philosophy referrs to as Yin/Yang, western philosophy referrs to subjective/objective. We have previously tended to see ourselves as separate individuals and not part of the whole, in large part due to the dualistic scientific concept of Rene Descartes. His concept is equivilent to seeing a whilpool as separate from the river it is in. According to solipsis we are whirling pools embedded in the "universe" in a very similar manner. We are not born into the universe as Descartes suggests, as there is no "outside the universe." When any thing can no longer maintain it's integrity it doesn't "die" as suggested by the current Descartian scientific dualistic philosophy, it merely returns to the flow from which it came. Things don't leave the universe any more than they are born into it.

The concept of solipsis is beyond all other concepts and shows the limitation of all other words and transcends the more mundane and exoteric concepts of life, death, time, space, energy and matter which are just the "scientific" way of looking at what are the illusions of the solipsistic view. This is not solipsism as is commonly defined by the dictionary, but solipsis as defined here. According to the dictionary definition of solipsism, "only the individual exits". Solipsis states that only the binary consciousness of the indivdual and the consciousness of the "entire universe as a whole" exists

solipsism

The belief that the person holding the belief is the only real thing in the universe. All other persons and things are merely ornaments or impediments to his happiness.

Rene Descartes proved his existance by saying " I think, therefore I am."
(cogito- ergo, sum) The solipsist prefers " cogito ergo omnia sum"
-I think therefore, I am everything!

scoliosis

scoliosis is when your spine curves into a certain degree.so, you will have to wear a brace(this hard thing--kinda like armour.)to prevent your spine from curving to a really bad point where you will need surgery. this usually happens to girls around 12 years old.it is a very uncomfortable feeling,very awkward, ecspecially when changing in the locker rooms. everyone stares at you saying \"what the hell are you wearing\" and they are feeling sorry for you at the same time.they give you looks like they're fuken shocked. its like your different. i have had scoliosis and i know the awkward feeling.i used to wear my brace to school becuase if i didnt,my spine would curve even more. however, i gained my confidence when i found out someone else had it too! she told me this trick to avoid people staring at you awkwardly. so what you do is tell people to punch you in the stomach hard.lol because then their hands will hurt. thats when you can explain to them that you have scoliosis. its not a big deal because once you tell other girls, they can't tell anyone becuase they feel very sorry for you and everyone (in ur P.E. class...) already knows. if you have scoliosis,you can use this trick

girl1: hey, punch me in the stomach hard
girl2: ok(punches girl1 in stomach) woah you stomach is hard
girl1: lol that cuz i have scoliosis
