Does your mind control you?

@Platoscave that is challenging to accept.
do you not eat and sleep?

@SatyrService Nothing about my body "controls me". Peculiar schizzy language from you. Think about it.
Bodily functions are interconnected in functioning people.
Also NO ONE ELSE controls me. I am healthy, light and alive so I know this.

@Platoscave hmm not sure what was Schizzy, I am reluctant to use popular terminology from the Psycho-therapeutic movement.
my response to
[quote]Nothing about my body "controls me"[/quote]

is more like the old Buddhist (and Taoist) saying
"when hungry, eat, when tired, sleep"
or Jesus " Be kind to thine ass (donkey) for it bears thee."

some people, of great will, can contra-act the body, fasting for protest, self immolation etc.

I think YOU Might be a person with that ability, [i]but many are not[/i].

whenever in doubt? i do the HALT thing asking
[b]H[/b]ungry? [b]A[/b]ngry? [b]L[/b]onely? [b]T[/b]ired?

I believe, from deep research, that our bodies often Dominate our experiences, in spite of our conscious wishes.

I am sorry if you felt transgressed, not my Aim

@SatyrService transgressed??

naaa!

I just don't believe in control. I just don't. I believe in interconnectedness.

Bog Brother and the New World Order don't "control me" either.

It IS schizzy talk. No personal offense to you or Jovial...

Luv to all!

@Platoscave control, as in conscious manipulation is the most temporary thing. on this we agree.
I also agree on interconnectedness all things are affected but other things..

I do take exception to Schizzy, not in a personal way but as far as accuracy of language
what about it seems Schizophrenic to you?
kinda seeking your definition. will admit if it matches!

@SatyrService Just an adjective, well now in the popular imagination.
Nothing ever CONTROLS anyone else.

If I said I have control over my life I would appreciate a "like" or two.

That's my point.
For pete's sake isn't that we WANT people to believe and embody????

@Platoscave well

[quote]Just an adjective, well now in the popular imagination[/quote]

as a person who has to regularly deal with the Schizophrenic, I often wish we would not use it so. like "triggered" it has a specific meaning, and we dilute that meanings when we use it in those inaccurate popular meanings.

perhaps rather than the word control, which I take from you means absolute control negating free will. and with a touch of [i]deliberate conscious intent[/i]

Lets use the more accurate term
[b]affected.[/b]

we ARE affected by gravity for one.

@SatyrService Every part of my being is effected and affected by every other.

Life is a balanced GESTALT in "together" people.

Ditto for larger human systems.

I maintain this always. I will also never give away my control to one body part over another,.... brain, genitalia, or whatever....

And I never assume the president, the government or the bureaucracy for instance, has ANY CONTROL OVER ANYONE which we have not deliberately ceded.

Of course we've given our free will over to our government so we don't live in poverty like any poor sod that doesn't agree with the status quo@Platoscave
