* * * That's a nobrainer, really -- I JUST WISH MOSQUITOS AWAY!
(Although -- thank you, Sky -- bug repellent would also work...)

The problem is you are saying anything with no proof and no scientific or philosophical backing at all .
You do NOT wish mosquitoes away and they cause deaths and they paralyze people . If we just keep on saying any non sense then where is the debate ?!!!.

I don’t see how a philosophical premise (such as “you create your own reality”) could be considered nonsense. It is simply a starting point that is used in explaining observed phenomena. And if the use of it succeeds in satisfactorily explaining phenomena, then it is, by definition, sensible.

But even so, I am not privy to every experience Jane has had. I do not know for a fact that she has not "wished mosquitos away". And since I happen to agree with much of what I've read as to her philosophical viewpoint, that statement is sensible to me.

Have you ever heard of the law of attraction? There are ways to prevent mosquitoes. Our town sprays for them. Also, Avon skin so soft repels them. They also have candles that repel them. You can make sure to wear long sleeves, stay away from swampy areas, get rid of any standing water for them to breed in, etc.

These are ways to reduce the chance of getting bit by a mosquito. Another thing is to stop worrying about mosquito's. The more you think about them the more you will be attracted to them because your subconscious mind thinks that is what you want and will make sure you are at the right place at the right time to find one. (Law of attraction.)

But even if you don't believe that we create our own destiny, you can have some control over it.

Frankly, mosquitos are the least of my concerns -- there're certain ways of avoiding them... However, some things appear as much less avoidable:

DEADLY DESEASES APPEAR TO BE COMMING BACK

Although I cannot be sure, since I had "other things on my mind" at the time, but I think such occurrences have been singular in the 70's and 80's. (unless I'm not aware of..) Lately, however,it seems the incidents occurr as epidemics that affect a large number of people!..

Seems like the Social Engineering has matured into the Global Engineering!!! -- and the "deadlinness" of the deseases has also increased at least two-fold!

I guess we should be greatful to scientists who help preventing the problem of Overpopulaition, and/or keeping it under control!

In any case, one should be very cautious while visiting (or, god forbid, living at) the rural, undedeveloped countries of the world -- one never knows when the "Social Engineering" might take place! ******

I think the so-called 'deadly diseases' are coming from biological war technology. I think some of them are engineered.

Okay here is a theory: The aliens are trying to create a virus that will wipe out humans, an inferior life form in their opinion.

Be careful what you think about or you'll attract it.

How about all the pharmaceutical companies who want only profits ?. Do you know that Donald Rumsfeld is the president of the company that makes the vaccine for swine flu ??!!!. .

The law of attraction is just another mysterious way on how some people view this world..... .

Actually, there's nothing mysterious about "The Law of Attraction", if you consider each of us a kind of a psychological magnet which attracts whatever one might be dreaming about...
(though, without any phisical support (i.e. action), nothing much will!)
However, we might be greatful to aliens who've taken over the duties of Social Engineering -- restricting their most deadly experiments mainly to the less inhabited and/or rural areas...

There is nothing that is not as it should be....


and really, needs no 'character name' in the great 'play' of life.

I beg your pardon, Jess, but you sound as if your a member of the "Social Engineering firm" -- saying "No Names, please..." LOL!

??????

what's goin on with this thread?

We havent figured "god" out yet? Such a shame, I was hoping to save my little clump of potential here....thanks for nothing

Perhaps, Jane my views are slightly different..

I choose not to give away my personal power to those who may wish to do ill of others...(the social engineers)...by conjecturing what may or may not be happening.

I am not blind, nor ignorant, nor insensitive to the ways of humans....

but merely choose not to give any of the energy that I am blessed with, away to that which is a negative.


Contributing to the essence/spirit of this planet in the manner with which it offers itself, is being reciprocal....that is where my energies best lie....not in contributing to the dis-connected energies of the human animus.

Jess,

Huh??

You sound like you have a very negative opinion of the human animus. (Humans)

Trust me on this, humans are warm and emotional creatures. Much more likable than the cold blooded aliens that live among us. Yes, we are not perfect. So what. We are on a spiritual journey unlike any other. I love people, just because --- they are human.

You also speak as if you are not also 'human' and as if you place yourself above the imperfect human animus. If you are human, you speak of self hate that you are part of the human population.

I don't want to be "negative" but geeze.

Is god enegery???? It just depends on the way u look at it. There are many unexplainable occurences that have no definition but to answer the question is yes and no. We are such a small grain of sand in the glactic community it is irrelivant to say that god is enegery. The existance of god has been ponderd over since the beginning of wondering why the human condidion exist. Whe man or being first wonderd about himself, the question came to mind that there must have been an force that created all that he is and can be concived of. to refraze the question, the needing to know such things is irrelivant. I tend to think that there is a driving force somewhare that explains the physical being of a god like entity and the beings that worship him or it, but there is no evidence except what is written in aceint scripture. Has any one ever sat back and thought what if we are the reason that there is a god? Man made computers and devices to do godly acts if conveighing information with speeds of unmesurd time and ammount. thats a work of god i guess. i beleive that there is something out there and if u wanna call it god thats ok. I beleive in god so i dont question if he or its enegery, its a waste of time. there is something out there, how do u think the universe exists? But then agin we could be in the bottem of a fish tank somewhare in a lab so the answers are limitless. Im a god fering man but i am also a scientist. i tend to look at the point of view that anything is possable.

Hahahah!!!!!!! JB.....that was great.....

I had taken the stance that I am human, obviously so, therefore am also speaking of myself inclusive of the human animus.

I am not seperate....but took upon the mindset for the question asked of me, to have an overview.....to look at a species as if seperate...


and I do not have a lot of grace to give when talking, within the above mindset, for the species called human as a whole.

Let me ask you a direct and personal question about the above statement.

If you believe in God, what is it that you believe in? "Something out there?"

You believe ... SO YOU DON'T QUESTION...?? Questioning is a waste of time?

You are a "GOD FEARING MAN".... What is it that you fear? The Unknown? (God is unknown.)

You are also a scientist... but you don't question? How can a scientist not question the idea of God?

You are a scientist and you have the point of view that anything is possible? Do you believe that aliens are living among us?

Anything is possible after all.
