Andie, I suspected that I would find you somewhere in that sphere of thought but I had to test.
It could have been an interesting discussion if someone had denied the existence of body. There are plenty of really good reasons to do it...like, full control over the own subject. Very handy, even if it might not be "true". I also think people who do i.e. martial arts on an advanced level are on to something that has to to with this. I mean. The things some bodies and minds can do; its hard to believe. But I guess they must be pretty sure they can do it.
Nordwall: Never? I simply don't believe you, but I guess I cannot stop you from thinking so if you don't want to be stopped.
Your statement however raises another interesting question. I am thinking about how to define an action - 'to act' - now having established that feelings are rather metaphysical in a sense. Is weeping an action - or the result of a feeling? Is mediating a feeling of say, anger, an action? Or is hiding a feeling of anger an action? (I guess at least it is a bit like 'acting'...) What I'm getting at is that just feeling a feeling can influence a whole room of people. Bodies are badly leaking vessels. So, what's an action in your opinions? |

*raises eyebrow*
And how, exactly, dear Nordwall, do you acomplish this?
I could write a post on how emotions ("feelings"), thoughts and behaviour ("actions") really work (eh, at least according to the theorists), but then I'd have to charge you. (Besides, you're already doing such a good job yourselves!) |

Actually, I was about to ask the same question myself.
IMHO, the mental patterns that creates a certain feeling are always to complicated to be entirely plotted out. Otherwise, it would/should be called an idea. |

That does seem like an extremly slow way of living. |
