    Sorry I thought you were a guy btw. Its just that all the Shadows I have known have been guys.

    Is premarital sex moral or immoral?

    Sure. None of my business really. I am trying to understand the youth of today a little better though so I hope you didn't mind these questions and naive observations of mine. I cannot see it working with my generation but things change.

    Is premarital sex moral or immoral?

    Sure. There are always exceptions to the norm and there's nothing wrong with being outside of the norm.

    Is premarital sex moral or immoral?

    Yeah, people are complicated and can have a range of views and emotions that aren't necessarily integrated. Maybe you should talk about this with the women you're hooking up with. Its a whole new sexual arena you guys are navigating and I know its not for me, but if your partners are really...

    Is premarital sex moral or immoral?

    Yeah, but she did sound sad and kinda regretful about it.

    Is premarital sex moral or immoral?

    If the young woman isn't taking sex advice from the likes of John the Revelator it shows she has good sense which is a credit to God's innate qualities within her.

    Is premarital sex moral or immoral?

    I hear ya, but when you say people you should have just said men, because most women don't rate one night stands or sex without emotional involvement as happy memories. Quite the opposite in fact. Studies show that it makes women feel sad. So from my point of view it seems like men are...

    Is premarital sex moral or immoral?

    Ok Shadow. I'm 48 but I have an open mind. What is it I'm not seeing or appreciating about the Booty call?

    Is premarital sex moral or immoral?

    The best sex is between people who share their minds and their feelings as well as their bodies, and I'd rather just bring myself off than bed someone who is not available to me emotionally and mentally too. Men and women don't learn this without being in a great relationship for a long time.

    Is premarital sex moral or immoral?

    Last week I went to see Benny and the Jets, and during the intermission I was having a quiet smoke with my man next to some young women who were talking about men. A bit cliche I thought, but I listened anyway, and overheard one girl nod to her friends and say "oh yeah, he was my booty call...

    The Genesis Wheel

    Great article btw. Thanks. :)

    The Genesis Wheel

    Yes, this has been quite a striking demonstration of projection on his part. Over on academia.edu there are over 1,200 people who have read my paper and over 220 people who have downloaded it and put it in their library. At least half of them are in positions of tenure with their university...

    Consciousness is Relative

    I'm an INTJ so I have extroverted Thinking and Introverted Feeling. It's not better or worse, just a different cognitive style. You seem like a feeling person so you'll be able to express things about the heart and your emotions that I would find difficult to put into words, but I think what...

    Consciousness is Relative

    Not exactly. The ego is part of the Ruach which has all sorts of related psychic structures. It is the intermediary between the Neshamah and the Nephesh. But the body has intelligence too. Your heart has microtubules, and all your organs do too and they have their own types of awareness. We...

    Consciousness is Relative

    I don't believe I really exist. I think the ego is a useful evolutionary process but in my case it doesn't really believe in itself. It doesn't run the show. It has a purpose and it serves its purpose but it doesn't think it will survive the mortal death. The neshamah remembers many like me...

    Consciousness is Relative

    Not necessarily. Our senses report qualia, but the stone deep within the earth that nobody sees and will never be seen has qualia. Qualia is also pre-material as well as material.

    Consciousness is Relative

    What do you mean by "real"? Consciousness is a recursive process. Giving it a label doesn't make it real. There is no static thing that can be grasped or discovered. Every 60 milliseconds there is a flash of consciousness that arrives from the pre-material level of the universe and hits the...

    Consciousness is Relative

    I don't wish to contest the point, but I wish to ask, do you believe the process of consciousness is relative to the qualia of consciousness?

    Unconditional Mind

    I do not believe that the mind is limitless or infinite at even its highest levels. Almost infinite, yes, but not truly infinite. A truly infinite mind would never encounter itself and so would never have consciousness.
