Yeah it's okay around there. Heaton I mean. Rothbury is nice because there's not much there! Fields you know.
I enjoyed your comment about the universe including multiverses if they interact.
We could say though I guess there might be multiple big bangs. I mean points of matter inflating separately.

I've heard the theory you can think yourself well. It's certainly true that people can hypnotise themselves and then control breathing and pain.
Like the monks right?

I agree with you. A person might watch nature and see something happen once like a bee land on a flower. But as you've said these things happen repeatedly within nature.
Why should something happen only once?
Complex yes.
Hawking states that the idea of free will is a working model as people are so complex it's impossible to predict them.
It would take super computers till the end of the universe to work out one human being's behaviour in any given moment.
I see it like this. Nature is complex. It creates the universe and evolves it and we say how? And answer with God.
Then nature evolves the creature into something that's a human being and we say what will this creature do? And we answer with it has free will.
God and free will are simple and convenient answers to an extremely complex question.
The true answers are nature is responsible but the details are extremely complex.
I mean we could say well that blokes about to urinate in the bin just based on a superficial observation but we can't know for sure!

S23 your words I'll read. I'm interested in the words of the contributors. I can't talk with whoever wrote that!
I, as More-than-a-few, others do - Believe that, _od, is 'Omnipresent'..{'unconditional Love' is a 'biggie' too!} - And, calling that, also omnipresent - 'Energy'.. Is ..

It's a bit like what I'm saying about I don't exist. Here all we are is voices to one another. What does it matter how we look? I might as well look at someone I enjoy looking at.

I also think that it's helpful to remember that's all we are.
It's easy to become close to people and it's easy to forget that no one here is anything more than a shared emotion to anyone else here.
Maybe it's different for you guys but nobody loves me 😢
