Is something carried because it is in a state of being carried? Or is it in a state of being carried because it is carried? 

Which precedes which? The act the state or the state the act?

Avatar of Trash_Aesthetic

the state does not precede the act because something is not in a state of being carried until it actually is carried.

But when the mental life acts upon the physical world it is the mental state that precedes the physical action...

therefore one interpreaton is right. 

Avatar of Trash_Aesthetic

however if you are only examining the physical world then you are trespassing your bounds and thus your assertion is empty.

so it must be that the state precedes the act

Avatar of Trash_Aesthetic

If the act precedes the state then one would be acting irrationally. its not the cause. its not the case

Avatar of Trash_Aesthetic

future should precede the present.

The Law should compel you to sign  a contract, not sign a contract to create a Law

Avatar of Trash_Aesthetic

law should precede contract. not contract law

Avatar of Trash_Aesthetic

otherwise by new law after contract you are transgressing or trespassing your bounds

Avatar of Trash_Aesthetic

contract is present (you are presently signing it) and law is future (you know you will be subject to laws of nature in the future)...... 

but what separates past and present? must be a sort of future as well
