  1. What are emotions

    It doesnt have anything to do with emotional charge. Thats just your speak. I was tearful...not really crying. it was a few moments and the moments are gone. JEEZ US! Whats up with a normal part of church service? You dont attend church. How can you make statements about what does or doesnt go on in a church service? I thought Dao bums was about simplicity. This group could complicate a gnat fart Who said I was seeking good emotions? I take what shows up. like rain or sun I go to church to listen what is being taught from the bible yeah and my mind drifts now and then consciously or unconsciously.
  2. What are emotions

    No it wasn't boring at all. This was about 2/3 minutes of my thought process. Church begins with singing along with the band/choir-which I enjoy. Then on with some announcements including helping world wide organization doing charitable works in poor regions decimated by Isis or natural disasters. It provides a sense of purpose and community. I enjoy one of many pastors and benefit from the sermons and teachings from the bible. Always pleased when I get myself up and out of the house and attend church. I feel more positive and more happy. People are friendly even behind the oppressive masks and social distancing. I care not to open myself up for FURTHER ridicule and negativity that is pervasive on this forum especially on the God topic.
  3. What are emotions

    I am learning to be careful about what I ingest as far as books are concerned. to say that I got sad over not getting what I want is stretching that moment that I experienced. it wasnt about not getting what I wanted. I thank you for the recommendation although I am not likely to read it at this time. I am immersing myself in THE WORD OF GOD. and I find that very fulfilling. that experience was like a quiet little tender rain--
  4. Which books sit on your nightstand?

  5. What are emotions

    I had this experience today in church where I am seeing this person sit ahead of me many pews. She looks like someone I want to see. I know its not the person I want it to be-but I let myself think it was this person. The texture of hair matched, the color of hair matched, slight build..and then emotion of sadness/tears began briefly. So I have to disagree because of my own experience this morning. My thoughts came first then the emotion followed.

  14. Dealing with the dark side

    once again proving to myself that I dont need in this conversation :-) spiritual foolishness has NO place at MY TABLE see its real simple. start from beginning: the energy up my feet and lower legs is the problem. thats the little crumb that is a lie. IT was not me. not interested in that treat. I think that is major misconception here. and I can accept it as a mistake. and I make plenty of my own. dont need anyone elses help comments or suggestions not more mantras and Buddhism. I have accepted Jesus Christ as my savior. truly. the rest of the stuff is side tracking bullshit
  15. Dealing with the dark side

  16. Dealing with the dark side

    overall its best I dont give time and attention HERE. curt and cold perhaps but its necessary to go tend to my chop wood carry water. and I am NOT open for anyone to think they can insert ideas based on their own understandings of heart/mind. so in a nutshell: I disagree with everything clean my room takes precedence

  18. Dealing with the dark side

    then you will have to get your address to me and then explain in simply terms why you need money from me and why you think you possibly deserve it.
  19. Dealing with the dark side

    damned if you do and damned if you don't. what is best is not getting on the internet. occasionally I read to see if there is worthy argumentation constructive
  20. Dealing with the dark side

    looking several people in the eyes now and wondering if you get tired of your spiritual bullshit because I sure do. looking for money I suppose.
