I have times I have nothing to say . Then I notice something , wonder something , it's nice to have an outlet here . I'd like others to feel they can do that here too if they'd like to .

Actually you have a point . I'm in the kitchen with a big pile of dishes . If I don't get going I risk castration .
Troy I'll post your points here tomorrow if I get a chance and reply to them .
Thanks man
We all have feelings because we all share the same perception, deep down. When that changes, feelings end.
You see, love is not a feeling, contrary to popular belief.
In fact, feelings are an obstacle to love. It's either or: one either has feelings, but no love or vice-versa--no possession of love, of course. See ya.
I don't know if we are truly in harmony . I'll give you how it is for me
A contributor once wrote love is what happens in the quiet . That's about right .
Free your mind from thought and feeling and love flows
hey why don't you frickin try it???
why should you try it???
I'll tell you why you should try it!!!
because i, state your name, am the only one that has love in his back pocket and you plonkers don't know bollux!
Free will is a faith .
Where is it that free will was proven ? Where ?!!!
We see causality all around us don't we ?
We set our alarms because we need to go to work because we need payed , the alarm wakes us , we feel hungry and we know we need to eat to survive to function , our bodies crave particular things so we go for those things .
We love our families so we show affection before we leave , it's the middle of the week so the road is busy and we naturally feel stressed about being on time .
Causality , causality , causality .
And .
What are we ? We are a bunch of cells and chemistry that are a part of the universe . How does it make sense that free will would exist ? It just doesn't . It's nonsense .
And .
The likes of trysts will say God is a silly idea. Nature is the reality . And yet trysts is her own God . She thinks she defines the universe ! Rather than a creator creating the universe , she thinks she does on a moment to moment basis ! This tiny tiny speck of dust that is her she thinks can determine and define the direction the world travels in . More so than any gigantic planet and equal to any God except possibly without the superpower ! No wonder she's reluctant to let go of the free will idea . Her ego is out of control !
And .
It's not like a scientist has never considered this possible . Hawking and Einstein aren't so stupid and they both say free will is just an illusion .
And .
Given that all we are is cells and chemicals oughtn't the burden of proof be that free will exists rather than doesn't ? It's like saying prove to me that God doesn't exist , you can't disapprove a be negative .
And
We act as though causality exists all the time . Trysts will say to her partner I need this or that because she knows that a sequence of events exists , the causality chain . She asserts all is free will but she continually behaves as though causality is real .
In summing up I'm so frustrated by these people posting here over and over faith is flawed and then asserting free will exists .
People , free will is a faith !!!
'Tom' said - Given that all we are is cells and chemicals oughtn't the burden of proof be that free will exists
Oops! Your above statement, is a shaky concept, to build your premise, on the total absence, human of 'Free Will'!
Leaving aside, the 'Ton' of 'OBE' {out-of-body}, testimonials and 'lectures' on the Web - Incidentally - One of 'OBE's more recent exponent-lecturers, {on "YouTube"}.."William Buhlman" - Had been going back, years-and-years previous, to his own multiple 'OB-ees' {plural}.. both a 'Supreme Being' and, 'No soul exists' exponent. 0:
I believe you'll find that they aren't and haven't been proven .
Society is far from in a position where it's accepted that obes are known to be truthful .
Like I say SA , in the absence of an understanding of nature we adopt supernatural ideas .
You're in a vacuum of sorts SA .
Anyway time to observe my consciousness at the beach
Chatting is dangerous, Tom. It's people who have nothing to say that are into chatting. I'm talking in general.
As for feelings, I never understand that question: there are none.
