  1. Scientific Approach to Practice

    Shoe gazing no doubt. And on the subject of EM - electromagnetism and the like ... apparently it is said that there is a light that never goes out.
  2. Scientific Approach to Practice

    Yes ... supposed to and has are two different things IMO. Everyday is like Sunday ... not sure if this is relevant but you did mention Mozza.
  3. Scientific Approach to Practice

    I think the problem with science and Qi is that science, however empirical it is, has a paradigm of reality which automatically rejects certain ways of seeing the world. It presupposes a kind of dead mechanism for everything. The inclusion of sentience/consciousness as anything other than an epi-phenomenon is a no-no form the start.
  4. Findley, yes I get that ... thick space with gravitational pull but no mass. Interesting. Thick space and thin space ... I like it. Will think about it some more. A.

    lets me know I'm ok hanging by my fingernails and clutching at straws.
  8. Vegetarianism

    I eat meat ... but a lot of fish and chicken ... I read this: Red meat and health ... no conclusion just some information.

  16. Intuition

    Eh? So Chi has negative pressure which causes the expansion of the universe does it? I think you might have to justify this idea.
  17. Intuition

    I saw your kinda agreement but I am not saying anything .....
  18. Intuition

    Hi, You seem in your previous post to be including the whole nervous system in with the brain. Just developing that a bit ... if you concede some degree of sentience and organic function to individual cells (as the body is nothing but a collection of cells) ... then you could call the whole body a brain (of sorts). In which case the use of the term brain becomes kind of redundant. If we call perception which is not the result of conscious logical analysis ... such as a feeling that 'such and such' is so ... if we call this intuition ... then we are talking about some kind of body-knowing. I know from my brief experience of martial arts (Aikido) that sometimes we instinctively know the right way to move ... and we don't have to think about why. Maybe this is intuition also????

    How do you know what is your brain and what is not?
  20. The myth of the eight-hour sleep

    No problem Mark. I'm interested in your technique ... waking up and falling asleep but I am a bit unsure exactly what to do. Could you explain a bit more.

    All the better to fool you with, my dear.
