Welcome. Look forward to your input in discussions!

Wasn't talking about him. How did he get into this thread.

Nothing like that. Let's just say I'm semi-retiring from some debates due to pointlessness.

Perhaps it helps to use miracle (not capitalized) for the wonder of how reality works, and Miracle (capitalized) for those times when an event has broken the rules of reality. An easy way to differentiate which one you are referring to.

Think I will stay out of it this time.

Completely agree with this. The empirical sciences will never be able to reproduce miracles in laboratory conditions, or in any other form either for that matter. Miracles are not simply unexplained physical phenomena. They are events that break the code upon which reality runs.

I thought you looked familiar. Where ya been all these years? :D

Sigh.

This is a whole nuther can of worms. People coping with repressed memories of terrible events can have a brutal row to hoe. The mind itself that has been altered through physical and/or emotional trauma. But again, this is a specialized situation and not the average person's brain...

Thanks. Still use it in a lot of places around and about the net.

I disagree. For those interested, all the back story is here in this thread. If we go beyond guilt to dealing with all emotions it is a natural progression from where we have been.

Very 'Kung Fu' that first line. :D

I was tempted to say myself that it would a great time saver! Lots of good stuff in your post and I will respond more fully when I have more time. This is what I believe as well. Would really like input from some of our other regulars (or irregulars for that matter)! Please jump in with your...

My point was that the human breath can be trained. That is the point of the analogy. One can train oneself to hold their breath far longer than what is typical for the average person. It is a fair point. I would submit though that a great many, indeed most people cannot understand their...

Appreciate that. Thank you.

Yeah I think I made the definition too simple! What causes the emotion has to be part of a proper definition. How about this definition from The Free Dictionary: A painful emotion experienced when one believes one's actions or thoughts have violated a moral or personal standard. To which I...
