  1. Like he cares... We are all engines of karma
  2. I believe he's still living in a cave, happily surrounded by goats. We are all engines of karma
  3. And that's another issue. We don't want to be treated as Muslims want to be treated. I want my girls to be educated. I don't want my son to marry his 1st cousin. etc., etc., etc. We are all engines of karma
  4. Very interesting read. Can anyone else vouch for this insight (...just want to make double sure before I start passing this around)? We are all engines of karma
  5. I like this train of thought, as it sounds like something out of Percival. But, I'm struggling with the "driving force" behind the focused mind. What would you call that which we use to focus the mind? That's what I'm calling free will. Yes, I have often looked at that verse since "developing" my thoughts on this matter. It just seemed to confirm my personal conclusions. We are all engines of karma
  6. The Tigers are seriously discriminated against at an official government level (i.e., they can't teach, be lawyers, etc.). That's what their conflict is about. We are all engines of karma
  7. I remember driving through Los Angeles in the mid 80s, descending into that bowl of haze. I wanted to hold my breath We are all engines of karma
  8. Well put. Again, well put. I've discussed this thread with an ex-priest whose a very close friend of mine. He agrees with my view. Then, he adds "And God loves you". I call it the First Law Of Al (his name is Al). I simply cannot get my head around it, though, with my outlook. We are all engines of karma
  9. Agreed that the vast majority of the change is driven by biochemical reservoirs of energy. But, if all of it driven by biochemical reservoirs of energy? If so, we as humans are probably worm food waiting to happen. I'm using energy as defined by our science - energy is the capacity to produce change. If free will is not biochemically based, then our science has not yet identified those reservoirs of energy. We may know if our language ever gets to the point where reproducible observations are produced in this area. But, this is very much the domain of established religion, and that language is not going to change. Thus, to explore this area, you must step out of th realm of established religion. Why do you think I decided to climb in my inner tube and keep the cooler close by? It reached a point where I had to do that, or go crazy Humans are much more than their thoughts. Our day to day experience is dominated by feelings. Feelings are generally grounded in our gut (the human intestine has as many, if not more, neural connections than the brain). True balance in life comes from balancing thoughts and feelings (see Percival, Thinking and Destiny). You might be right. Having had a couple of out of body experiences, I tend to doubt that view, though. But, that's based upon my own personal experience/observations. The language describing OBEs is not something that's common in most cultures. I've been told I can complicate things, and this could be just one of those areas where I have. Where's my cooler? Thanks for the feedback! We are all engines of karma
  10. Agreed, it is difficult. I was raised in a fundamentalist Christian religion (Southern Baptist, one step up from Church Of Christ). What I was taught turned out to be crap, and it was very emotional difficult to realize that. Agreed. And our current established religions will never help us "see" better. Richard Bach is one of my favorite authors. I'll have to check this book out. Thanks very much for the feedback!
  11. So, the common letters are S (2nd character) and P (4th character). The I/E divide (1st character) is best described by wmw999's reply The T/F divide (3rd character) is described here: http://typelogic.com/faq.html: We are all engines of karma
  12. So, the common letters here are S (2nd character) and J (4th character). I know that J's are most comfortable once the decision has been made, as opposed to P's who like to keep all of their options open for as long as possible. The I/E divide (1st character) was well described by wmw999. Which one best describes you during your normal day? These things can change based on conditions, i.e., stress. The T/F divide (3rd character) is described here: http://typelogic.com/faq.html: We are all engines of karma
  13. Gravity is not an illusion... We are all engines of karma
  14. Interesting. I can see why Turkey wouldn't be happy... We are all engines of karma
  15. Should have clicked No on the email checkbox. I'm sure there's a way to delist from there server. What were the four choices they gave you on that type? We are all engines of karma
  16. Healers (INFP) Counselors (INFJ) Champions (ENFP) Teachers (ENFJ) The two inner letters are all NF. The options for the outer letters are I/E and P/J. Somewheres, on the typelogic web site, there's a description of the various letters (in broad terms). We are all engines of karma
  17. Bill has already said he's going to keep his day job, and that's a good thing, IMO. We are all engines of karma
  18. Well, that certainly narrows it down We are all engines of karma
  19. No. Didn't see anything in particular. We are all engines of karma
  20. Ah! I didn't realize the simple test ended up giving you choices! Thanks for posting this. So, you're definitely NF.... wmw999's description of the I/E divide was good. Based on her description, or you more I or E? I'm hard core "I". I sometimes like interacting with new people, but it's emotional taxing. I can only do it for an hour or two, at most. The P/J divide deals with choices. Do you like it more when you keep your options open (P), or once the decision has been made (J). I'm hard core "J". I personally strive to make the decision and be done with it, once that decision works its way to the top of my list. If it's not at the top of the list, I don't worry about it.

  21. I got a kick out of the INTP write-up I'm still trying to recover from some of my willful acts in this life, which at the time were taken with full unadulterated and uninformed confidence on my part We are all engines of karma
