It is true. You feed the fire, but the fire isn't external from you, to search for it in a forum or other people. It's in you, right in the middle of ...

The source, more or less, is a self-written law. When you study the plants, you're learning how nature has manifested itself as the plant, but there's...

The distinction is - the object opposed to a reflection.
June 14, 2019 at 21:30
That's fair. Poison and medicine differ merely in application after all. Possessing the knowledge of the fruit innately, will remove the bars. The con...

Aye. If I had to be concise, freedom is right-being. You have everything, but don't need anything; akin to a dream. Which is why, just like how a drea...
June 14, 2019 at 20:41
Sorry buddy, but you're wrong on that account. Any such theory necessitates existence to function. And that specific one begins with everything being ...

Or Tibetan, or Danish or Bulgarian, etc.

That theory only explains the transmutation of existence in to its current state.

It will pass. Don't feed the fire and it will pass faster. Don't just vent your problems, go do something that actually makes you happy.
June 14, 2019 at 18:24
The problem doesn't lie with what happens to you, but what you do with it. And in your own words: Take a breather. Your own overassessments are what's...

I'm not underestimating anybody. The president is strictly a poster boy, and this one happens to be doing his job quite well - barking up a storm, but...

His plans don't matter, he's a poster boy.
June 14, 2019 at 15:29
I think you're working in reverse. :meh: Space tourism is just one example for why it won't work like that.
June 14, 2019 at 15:01
Touché.
June 14, 2019 at 08:53
Then go nowhere. :cool:
June 14, 2019 at 08:50
Well, I simply think, if we were to take cogs as an example - that working for others and yourself is the same to the free man. Whereas stressing on h...

I don't think it's difficult. I grow corn, feed the sheep corn and fertilise the cornfield with the excrements. To me it's an effortless unity and gra...
June 14, 2019 at 08:04
An effortless unity, where no individuality is artificially strained.
June 14, 2019 at 07:53
The hint is water. The answer is ironically solution.

Thinking about blue as opposed to thinking blue. See the difference?
June 14, 2019 at 07:37
The difference is the oft repeated wedge 'about'. Remove it - non linguistic. Add it - linguistic.
June 14, 2019 at 07:34
Then I repeat there's no grounds for linguistic thought, but merely making references which holds the possibility of communication but does not instig...
June 14, 2019 at 07:28
Record player. What about jellyfish? Tell me what you mean by linguistic thought, as I find no grounds for it in the above.
June 14, 2019 at 07:20
Does it? What about telepaths and mutes?
June 14, 2019 at 07:03
Freedom is harmony. So you're always free to an extent, but rarely wholly free.

He's not allowed to, after going on parole from the thought police. I told him not to take the animals' thoughts away, but he didn't listen.
June 13, 2019 at 23:06
Eh, to an extent.
June 13, 2019 at 22:52
Well, it matters if it's what @"Janus" means when he refers to holding thought. As he'd then be right that they can't hold thoughts, but clearly can h...
June 13, 2019 at 22:42
@"Janus" Correct me if I'm wrong, but you just mean that animals don't store or recall thoughts other than immediately during thinking, right?
June 13, 2019 at 22:16
Just one of Janus' many powers.
June 13, 2019 at 21:55
Why would a mind independent world impede your ability to act upon it freely? It just means that the world is self-sufficient and works regardless of ...
June 13, 2019 at 21:48
I definitely don't think it's too similar, but it's your call. The HGG is definitely an apt suggestion; try probing with references to see if she's re...

Daring is caring and caring is sharing. Dare on, my friend. I'd also like to add the Popol Vuh to the list. :)
June 13, 2019 at 21:03
A value of five. They contribute one thumbs up. :up:
June 13, 2019 at 20:40
That Canada does not equate the territory, just as how musical notes don't equate tones, even though that's what they refer to. Shell and filling.
June 13, 2019 at 20:38
How childish of Aristotle.
June 13, 2019 at 20:10
I don't think he means to say that you're using the word wrong, but that what Canada references is separate from itself, as it seemingly cannot refere...

Iran has other things in mind than to instigate conflicts.
June 13, 2019 at 20:06
You match the prints to the culprit, Bananno. :ok:
June 13, 2019 at 12:30
Captain Nemo, Panchatantra and A Thousand And One Nights.

Your mailman is however a mediator between you and those you don't physically contact, which is no different.
June 13, 2019 at 08:14
Quite. One halved is two, so by extension 1=2. What I've said is valid for finite lengths, but if it sounds incoherent it's due my inability to proper...
June 13, 2019 at 05:09
I’m just coping Crusin’ & Coastin'
June 12, 2019 at 17:15
Is a mailman religious?
June 12, 2019 at 17:06
Sure you can. To illustrate, you can infinitely divide a finite thing - which provides the notion it is an infinite thing, with infinite parts. Now le...

Quite. Yeah, I got that, but don't see the problem with it - if you look at infinite lines as stretched out finite lines. You have two finite lines th...

https://cdn5.vectorstock.com/i/1000x1000/65/09/donkey-and-his-carrot-vector-3866509.jpg Does this provide any insight?
June 12, 2019 at 11:23
Lest you market it well, to which my faith holds stalwart. :pray:
June 12, 2019 at 10:24
The basis for religion is the basis for science. The incentives are identical, though the paths may differ. You may cross the street by using the cros...
