• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

In their book on the Law of Atraction, Esther and Jerry hicks outline the idea of feelings as an "emotional guidance system". I think its a good concept.

Our so called rationality havs been driven by the paradigm of classical logic, and if gendered emotions are sometimes said to be "irrational and feminine".

Lets not forget than the subconsious, from where our feelings come, knows how to calculate using billions of bits of DNA code in parallel, which is no mean feat.

"irrational and feminine".

This is a feeling due to not understanding. The logic is a little complicate and is hidden. But it is ultimately logical.

The ability to straighten this out in a quick way, and catch the essential point is called wisdom.

In their book on the Law of Atraction,

The "Law" is a light and incomplete summation of the complicated process of acheivment.
It's kind of like saying if you dress for success, you'll get rich.
On a superficial level, it works.

I am not sure about the law of attraction itself. But the idea of emotions as a "guidance system", I like. I am quite intuitive, but work on thought processes more than feelings , you see. So putting the conceptual world on hold, and opening up to my feelings, well this is a new avenue. I often complain about not feeling enough, being emotionally shallow, so this is a smart path to me.
