relax and be yourself

I don't know. My first thoughts are about radios.

Separate radios pick up the same signal.

I'm not sure this is a useful analogy.

If I'm at the beach and you are too we both are aware of the sea.

So in that sense we could argue that a life form is like a radio.

It picks up a signal in the form of a fragment of reality. Through vibrations.

But then what about these thoughts and feelings we have? How do they fit in the whole thing?
Tomtalk
I suppose it's like this.

Initially there is consciousness. Think of this like a radio. We life forms detect reality which is nature through our senses. Pick up vibrations. Energies.

There is also another thing though which is processing. What you need to get though is this consciousness isn't only aware of nature. The objective truth of reality. It's also aware of the processing. At least to an extent.

The two things together create the illusion of identity.

I observe I think therefore I think I am.
Tomtalk
But what's clear to me is that experience does exist. Because of this behaviour is inevitable.

My hand is underneath scalding water. I'm conscious of pain. My hand will be moved

So consciousness is a part of evolution. How life thrives and adjust.

What we truly are though?

Well we are a couple of things. We are these radios that observe reality and these processors that process what we observe.

Both things are a part of nature.

I suppose when we have a conversation we become a dual processor!
Tomtalk
One day these radios and processors won't be around anymore.

All that will be left will be the reality that was previously observed.

Maybe again life will appear. Who knows?

It's just what happens. One thing is for sure.

The creation and destruction of the universe is out of our hands.

Though I know CERN has made people nervous.

I doubt we could create a universe!

I'm walking through trees. And in a little pain. Life is tough sometimes no doubt about it. Sometimes you are just getting through it.

Trees are beautiful though. Does anyone not like trees?

I hate trees I do. I can't bloody stand them!

Really. Oh okay. Ha ha.

I woke this morning and I was in pain. Emotionally.

You know I think if you are wishing time away something is wrong.

So many people do it. I wish it was this time I wish it was that time.

You know we don't have forever. This is illogical. Oughtn't we make the most of every moment?

Additionally people say this when they are surrounded by the most beautiful of people and I just think wake up.

One day you might be isolated. Enjoy the wonderful people around you.
Tomtalk
I'm walking through an underpass. I thought twice about it. Life scares me. People scare me!

Why am I soft in the middle? Rest of my life is so hard.
Tomtalk
I haven't seen babytigrr in a while. She's lovely.

I spend way too much time here. The names of the members are in my predictive texts.

That's not right!

It's ok when I write Tom it tries to change to TomGa, then tomtrytostay then Tomtalk.
Tomtalk
To use that radio analogy again some radios work better than others.

For example a blind man mightn't be able to formulate the mass of an object though through constant practice might be able to pinpoint the location of a sound.

Then the processors part of who we are.

Homer Simpson mightn't be able to understand the revolutions of the planets particularly well whereas Stephen Hawking can explain perhaps the expanding of the universe.

Sometime I think it must he wonderful to be super intelligent.

You know engaged in a highly technical and complicated activity. Sounds so rewarding and enjoyable.

Yes I studied at Cambridge. I found it a little too easy😉.

Hawking said this. Oh I didn't need to study. Ha ha.

Ok
Tomtalk
Ha ha. Hi I like.

I think your thread idea sounds cool but I'm not sure that the mods will accept a thread called kill yourself!

I'm interested though in your ideas about your individuality. For example this goth emo thing you talk about.
Tomtalk
I'm depressed. I'm going to buy some pop. Soda I think the Americans call it. It cheers me up a little.
Tomtalk
What'll I do when you are far away and I need you what'll I do? When I'm alone, with only, dreams of you, that won't come true, what'll I do?
Tomtalk
I wonder how Carolina is doing today. I hope she's feeling better.

It was lovely to see her with her dog yesterday.

Beautiful lady beautiful dog.

It was the lady I was attracted to. Not the dog not the dog!
Tomtalk
Horses are sort of attractive. Well not in a sexual way. I'll move on.

They sure look great though. Is anything in nature more beautiful than a horse?
Tomtalk
I think I sound crazy today. I'm lonely though and sad. It's that time of year I suppose. Dark cold. Other people having fun.

None of you guys need be lonely. Write here and I'll read. Write as much as you like.

I feel like getting drunk and drowning my sorrows. Life is hard sometimes.

In the supermarket now. Bright lights here and some lousy music.

A poor singer singing some rubbish I can't understand.

Let it all fall down he's singing. He should shut up.
Tomtalk
Ah. That's pretty ed thank you. I'm sure moody today. I feel like telling the shop assistants to eff off. I'm not in a good place at all. I'm upset.
