Where is my pony? As the equine roams freely, Needlessly for me.

Think about baseball!

The Mixing of gametes of two organism with compatible yet unique DNA to form another organism with a mixture of the previous two organism's DNA, again unique. This mixing of genes allows for genetic variability and even evolution of species.

Yeah, I was thinking it was created rather than discovered.

I prefer purple. If I were to picture things as golden then it could always be better.

spirituality = nervous system or endocrine system?
teknix replied to mike 134's topic in General Discussion
You are probably right, I generally choose to be biased in favor of the empirical and objective ways of explaining it over tradition and beliefs. -

You're hardly the first to notice it, but you are on the right track, which is better than 90% of the "spiritualists" that I've met. -

#5 in the map you presented should be labeled at the bottom of the ribcage/sternum as the solar plexus then heart/cardiac plexus would be 4. -

If it only applies to the concept of chakras you would be right. Getting in touch with the "heart" for instance, is a big part of many spiritual traditions and non-traditional spirituality. -
Nope! Would you?

Good job, I would give you 90% if I were your teacher. -10% for not including solar plexus and sympathetic nervous system. -
I like your insight, but that's still not me, eheheh. I took the contrary to what is presented to see how well it holds.

I think it helps to provide insight into the rationale or belief being subscribed too and it helps to untangle inconsistencies and problems by laying it out to scrutinize. I long to lose, for only in losing is there something to gain. I won't let you win because the truth may lay unresolved. If there is an answer I want to find it, regardless of you or me.

I guess you are . . .

I understand that you can't force someone to learn, just as you can't force someone to back up their claims, but I have no qualms against asking for it.
-
Rofl, you think of a debate as a fight.

I would lose a belief to gain a truth any day.
-
One example is standing behind your claims unless they are shown to be irrational or false, then disregard them if they aren't sound. The unsoundness of an argument can be sniffed out and pointed to by a keen mind. For instance; If you would show my conclusion to be unsound or erroneous, I would ditch it in favor of something more sound, rather than to make an excuse why it isn't sound and continue grasping onto the belief because I consider it mine or a part of me. . Losing something is gaining something.

I don't see how you get that. I was talking about being assertive rather than aggressive or passive, in any life instance. Forcing someone to learn is definitely being agressive, not at all what I was talking about. Standing your ground against the oncomming tide is to what I refer.

Does breathing play a significant role in your practice....?

Thanks for reminder, sometimes I might neglect it. -

With or without flow, water is a key to all life, flowing as you go.

Lots of bubbly goo! Cytoplasmic excretions, this is how we move.

That sounds like being passive rather than assertive. Personally, I feel that words can be damned when all they point at are illusions of self. I think you have to choose totake offence to words. Would you let someone win an argument in favor of ignorance/misinformation? Phrasing your thought as an opinion might also avoid unraveling the truth. (Because there is a refusal to make a direct challenge of anothers understanding or belief)

I think we share a similar perspective of an answer if there must be one.
