Guest guest Posted April 13, 2007 Report Share Posted April 13, 2007 For me the whole main reason why anyone does anything at all is for the " motion " and " sensation " . What those are, will differ from person to person or group to group. Without motion - there is no apparency of " life " . Without sensation, there's nothing to measure life with.

Guest guest Posted April 14, 2007 Report Share Posted April 14, 2007 Hi Steve Does it ever appear to you that you are apart from your body and you can go anywhere you decide to? And if so, can you still do that when paying taxes or bills? Warmly, Evie --- Steve Daily wrote: > Thank you for sharing these thoughts titled " My > Life " .
