Ana13: I agree in part, but not in your reference to the "egotistic" or as I would say "egotistical" (I think they are both acceptable) which does not sit well with me.
Most emotions are driven by fear, usually as a result of a perceived threat to the ego. These fears can lead to anxiety, which in turn can become somatic, from slight unease to full blown panic attacks. The mind, or the egoic mind, (that's another term I believe to be correct,)very much influences the body, sometimes even inflicting unnecessary pain on it.
felixis99: I suppose we can choose. Mind over matter in my book. I think with my heart, speak with my head, I'm all mixed up
hiya felix happy new year to you.
i hear ya..... i'm mixed up too...
but i do know that if i stub my toe...it doesn't hurt till my brain tells me it's hurting... and sometimes i'm really busy...so i just refuse the information...
This is such a very simplistic approach for anyone to accept. If I visit a diner and get food poisoning, my brain has very little to do with the resulting sickness.
modermen: Does the body rule the mind or does the mind rule the body? or are there other forces at play
One day we'll be able to programme the body into leading a mind that thinks whatever it is designed to think without the mind ever having the slightest suspicion.
We do not have free will, the mind is an agent of the body.
RobbieM: I witnessed something when i was young (i'll say i was about 14) with two other classmates. If i discussed it people would think i was delusional, insane or attention seeking or lying. The fact is 2 others saw what i did.
So very early on in life i was quietly reasearching the reliability of the human senses, psychology and neurolgy, to try to explain what i saw. As a consequence i learned about non verbal communication, animal psychology and basically experimented on pets, and other peoples animals, to work out if cross species communication is possible.
I have to my satisfaction tried it on multiple types of species, in particular with various members of the feline family, and the answer is yes. Once that bombshell became apparent, the more you look at the mind, and the function of the pineal gland, and chemicals like DMT, then the subjects get stranger, and more fascinating the more you learn.
I live my life differently as a result, and it's for the better, because i see things i would have once ignored, or dismissed as coincidences, and now realise it isn't a fluke, or statistical coincidence. The sooner you read open up, the sooner your jaw is likely to drop open one day by disvovering something you have previously thought that never even exsisted.
The short version is one genuine glimpse behind that curtain and your life will never be the same again.
