    silent thunder posted a topic in General Discussion

    Here's a fun musing that settles on my thought pond from time to time. It arose again rather insistently this morning and I felt like sharing the process with words. Nothing serious in it, though it is sincere. I'm endlessly curious... what makes me human? Where exactly 'in...

Reading it I learned I need to stop resisting the present moment. I became aware that I was constantly thinking...
  23. Ram Dass once said something, somewhere to the effect that we need to have one "me" watching all the other "me's".
