Dont know about this trust thing. It works up to a point like anything else.
What am I supposed to trust in JC or something? Because I really cant see myself proclaiming that aloud or even silently in my head. (Prayer)
It was you that brought in the topic mentioned 'trust', saying that unseen event could become a fact to you if you trusted the third party telling you about it. I thought this was interesting, but as usual you really don't have much of an opinion on anything other than making comments like this about Christianity.

That does sum it up rather well. It reminds me of the political system-puppet on the right or puppet on the left-type arguing/debating.
So I am going against tradition here by speaking of the unspeakable, but hey, the times are a different and the secrets are becoming revealed.
I would be interested to hear why rvshakadeo doesn't think we should learn about the kundalini here, in this forum.

Is what a fact? That you feel the pain? Yes.
I felt a bit of pain, but I could just as well have forgotten about it this morning.
I mean I could've whinged about it, but I didn't , I just dropped that thing Jackass style.
Point is, if I make a big deal out of it it seems to hurt more.
Otherwise it's a nothing injury with more ego being hurt than body.
in fact, I reckon I could've meditated for like 5-10mins before dropping the rock and felt nothing.
Sounds like an experiment for next week

I trust that that rock would hurt my foot, thats a prediction I can live with.
On a side note Jesus hasn't spoken to me in any manner,and yes, I have been listening.
And even in his silence I get a message.
Originally posted by karoly aczelWell, you can only reliably infer from experiments that are replicable, and when potentially confounding variables are controlled. You may need to check the brick/foot relationship under a variety of circumstances. Does it similarly hurt when others drop the brick, or when the brick is larger? Get back to me on this.
