Re: Can we ever do other that what we've done?

[Guest guest]

There are no bad things

No need to wonder if you had impact on the direction

Lie down, will you?

-- Can we ever do other that what we've done?

I've been kinda pondering that a bit lately.

Like today I was really tired, and told kitchen head that I was going

to go lay down. He just smiled and said 'ok.' He knew I've been tired.

I felt a little guilty, not sure why.

But what do you think? Or does say something about it?

Can I do anything other than what I've done?

Do I have free will? Or is the 'IS' doing all this?

Sometimes I've done something (good or bad) and later wondered if I'd

had an impact on the direction that person will take in the future.

Anyway, since all is just the 'IS' when you respond, actually it'll

be the 'IS' responding back to itself.

I'm/the 'IS' is getting a headache now from too much thinking.

Dizzily yours,

Daily, Why do you think about sex all the time?

Funny... When I asked you to keep me company I was hoping that you would

keep on doing what you already do:

Be my friend!

Love, T

Dear T,

Wow, you are on a roll today!

It reminded me of saying (Loosely remembered) " There is no

evil, there never has been and never will be anything evil. " And

then she said, " But if there is, please bring it to me so I can see

something that is real. "

Love, Steve D.

Do I have free will? Or is the 'IS' doing all this?

*****Another thing to consider: what is this " I " that is referenced?

Some people take " I " and " me " to be ongoing things that persist over

time, perhaps akin to the notion of a Christian " soul. " If it is

found (by no one) that there is no " I, " then the question of " free

will " becomes moot since that presupposes an ongoing entity (person)

who has the attribution of " a free will. "

Sometimes I've done something (good or bad) and later wondered if I'd

had an impact on the direction that person will take in the future.

*****And, if it is discovered that there is no " I " then there is

no " you " to have done something (good or bad). Obviously things

appear to have happened. But there is no " you " who did them.

Consider the words attributed to Buddha:

Actions happen. Deeds are done. But there is no individual

doer, thereof.

DEAR T,

Yes, I see how has had an affect on your perception.

Thank you for asking if I can keep you company in the meanwhile.

I am flattered that you would ask but no, I am taken. My sweet wife,

Gail might not approve and I do not feel like asking her permission.

Love, Steve D.

Dear T,

Wow, your clarity since being with is simply amazing.

No need to be sorry for being confused. Evidently, confused is what

we are, until we aren't.

Love you too, Steve D.
