  Hot Bourbon with some honey and lemon. The warm bourbon will clear your sinuses and after a few you'll feel great.

  at some point everyone asks these questions?

  what is the meaning of life?

  Our Consciousness

  once again while meditating in my pod, thoughts began to enter my mind.

  thoughts that i did not ask to recieve.

  consider: if we believe murray gel-mann there is nothing supernatural about quarks, they have charge and spin and no holy grail.

  After reading the foregoing, the Catholic teaching that God created within us an immortal soul is starting to make a lot more sense.

  Ridiculous. It's obvious we are here to lead a life worthy enough that we may be selected for an afterlife serving the great all knowing green elephant and our purpose is to search the universe for the magical golden peanuts he is so fond of.

  2. relationships

  i am watching oprah (right now actually) and the topic hits close to home.

  good timing actually, because yesterday i was thinking of talking with my fiance, mike about this very thing.

  you see, mike really loves kids, and we plan to have them eventually, its a very important part in our relationship (to him, mostly).

  I hate to be blunt, but alot of times men want you to have their baby just so that you'll always be apart of their life.

  
  
  Huh? Who have you been hanging around. In my experience such an action has 'female' written all over it. The guys about to break up with the girl, she gets 'upset' and affectionate and they have sex one last time. Guy gets a phone call a month or so later, "Im Pregnant! Yaaaaay, guess we're not breaking up now? Oh we are, well, i'll see you in paternity court, sucker" lol

  Carry on.

  Once again while meditating in my pod, thoughts began to enter my mind. Thoughts that I did not ask to recieve. Consider: If we believe Murray Gel-Mann there is nothing supernatural about quarks, they have charge and spin and no holy grail. With no hidden variables available for contention it seems reasonable to believe, logical as some intellects would say, that the composite particles, which are those which arise from combining cartain types of quarks would have no supernatural bias. If we follow this line of reasoning the correlates of consciousness would have to consist of purely natural substance interacting in such a manner that a conscious effect is achieved - A pure physical science.
  
  Here is my take on the correlates of consciousness. It consists purely of sets of motion detectors arranged in a certain topology which allows detection outside of itself. Some may claim this is the conscious particle, but it is not, it cannot be, it only affords not-being-blind-to things other than itself.
  
  I am not claiming I have the topology all worked out and in place but I am claiming that the base of consciousness is motion detectors or motion sensors, as some of the learned may put it, at that unitary level.
  
  Do any of you sense a difficulty in accepting this physical base of the physical theory of consciousness
