I answer every single question in here.

I've enjoyed this thread, fantastic!
That said, I am not a believer in religion, but I am not too sure as to what is out there. Being an athlete, I've played on the big stage, in arenas filled with thousands of people. I've felt the energy directed toward my teams, then against my teams, then have always wondered what that was. If any of you have experienced this, it feels like a buzz, electric.
Any ideas, what is that???
I get the adrenaline part, I used to get that through simply competing and training on my own. But what I do not understand, is how that seems to intensify when groups get together. Now what I am not doing is suggesting a higher power's influence over this, but what I am wondering about is that connection we have with each other. Is it spiritual? How is that energy transferred?Originally Posted by sillyputty

Social experience.
Add in the fact that you want to perform so you're super concentrated on everything you do.
I like what you mean to do, but you're just too skeptical sometimes. In terms of dealing with "energy," we really know so little about it. That kind of energy could be something other than adrenaline, think along the lines of the connected consciousness of those birds that fly in huge flocks that sway every which way without them flying into each other. Something similar could be happening.Originally Posted by sillyputty

I don't believe in religion as most see it, but I do believe that our lack of understanding things such as different types of energies could reveal something interesting, another facet of humans not commonly seen. Take, for instance, Chi energy. Many thought it to be martial arts mystical BS until we figured out that it can actually be measured as heat energy, and this heat energy can be detected moving throughout the body of Shaolin monks and other martial artists as they guide it while doing forms and the like. The human mind is capable of doing amazing things, and we aren't really sure exactly how much it can do. I think a lot of sources of spiritual energy doesn't come from without like Gods or Devils, but from within ourselves.

I understand the social experience part as well, but that buzz I've felt, anticipation of something happening. It is pretty powerful.
Its not "energy" in the electrical sense. Its just the social benefit of group think. Its like why people riot. They riot cause everyone else is rioting.
Its not spiritual. Its just the feeling of collective groups working together to achieve some task.
I suggest you try taking some courses in anthropology that look at how the brain perceives certain social situations and how we've evolved to associate positive behavior with social situations. We can study various brain areas that correlate to these functions as well.
Plus, just try to realize the extent of emotion you're feeling by representing that many people and having them want for you to succeed.
I think you're dealing with a little confirmation bias. I'm certain you felt something...but I don't agree with your explanation for that thing you experienced.
I like what you mean to do, but you're just too skeptical sometimes. In terms of dealing with "energy," we really know so little about it.
Oh really?
This "energy" you speak of is the result of the perception of events that are associated with nothing more than chemical substrates (as far as we know right now)
That kind of energy could be something other than adrenaline, think along the lines of the connected consciousness of those birds that fly in huge flocks that sway every which way without them flying into each other. Something similar could be happening.
Its called proprioception. Look it up.
Birds aren't held together in flocks because of spiritual energy. What are you talking about? Birds know their paths because of organs they've developed that interact with magnetic sensitivity.
Birds also fly in formation like that because they create pockets of air called slip-streams that reduce the overall amount of drag for the flying unit. Its a matter of conserving energy through just a simple understanding of fluids and physics.
I don't believe in religion as most see it, but I do believe that our lack of understanding things such as different types of energies could reveal something interesting, another facet of humans not commonly seen.
Of course. But you can't assert anything you can't back up.
I admit that I can only see colors from 390 nanometers to 750 nanometers. Thats our visible light spectrum. Other animals see in ranges beyond that spectrum.
Some animals can hear higher or lower frequencies than we can.
I'm not saying that my extent of perception is all there is...however, for me to assert that i've derived another sense by which I can judge the world, I have to back that notion up...otherwise, its an unsubstantiated claim.
If i don't back it up, then i'm free to assert anything. I could say that the world is just a bunch of fruit loops trying to reach orange juice...and i could never be wrong because i'm just speculating stuff.
At a certain point, its pointless to assert that things are outside of our perception...because we can't perceive it unless we can prove it!
I can prove to you xrays exist, but I can't show them to you naturally. I need instruments that detect those things to show you. Do you understand?
Take, for instance, Chi energy.
Doesn't exist.
Many thought it to be martial arts mystical BS until we figured out that it can actually be measured as heat energy, and this heat energy can be detected moving throughout the body of Shaolin monks and other martial artists as they guide it while doing forms and the like.
Heat energy?
So you just proved/debunked your own thing.
On top of that, the heat of the fight or flight response or the need to act decisively in a stressful situation doesn't imply "energy" its just the result of us trying to make stuff happen to deal with that situation.
Again, confirmation bias. You felt something so it must be some sort of feeling that you can't explain...and before you know it, you're at the bottom of the psuedoscience rabbit hole.
The human mind is capable of doing amazing things, and we aren't really sure exactly how much it can do.
And?
I think a lot of sources of spiritual energy doesn't come from without like Gods or Devils, but from within ourselves.
Using nebulous terms doesn't make what you're saying more reasonable.
There is more understanding of chemical substrates and receptor biology than there is for spiritual experiences.
Ask yourself this, how come these sorts of experiences seem to differ based on brain chemistry?
Schizophrenics? Alzheimers? Other neurological disorders?
If there was a spiritual component to existence, how come it differs so much based on how our brains work?
That just goes to show...its all in your head...not the result of some sort of metaphysical external existence.
Again, WANTING something to be true, doesn't make it true.
Its not "energy" in the electrical sense. Its just the social benefit of group think. Its like why people riot. They riot cause everyone else is rioting.Originally Posted by sillyputty

You must realize intent. My question was innocent. Some of us have studied, then simply forgotten what we've learned. Once you've experienced certain situations, it can make you question what is supposedly factual evidence.Originally Posted by CurbYourEnthusiasm
heres the thing
just because we, meaning us niketalkers, arent well versed on a topic
doesnt mean humaity isnt.
"i suggest you research anthropology"
bingo
you're asking questions that were answered in 1200 BC
LMAO
like you're gonna stump somebody
trust me, some guy spent his entire life researching whatever question you're asking..
