THE ENIGMA OF BEING CONSCIOUS.

::::::::

THE NATURE OF MAN

I wish to state I was diagnosed as Bi-Polar. This syndrome means that for

long periods of time my mind,

it's emotions and thoughts are of the morose variety.

I had been shy, seeking anonymity, avoiding conflict.

My diagnosis was made when I was exhibiting manic manifestations.

I was continually talking and without need for resting my body or mind.

.

I was then prescribed medications to get me into the center. Is changing

a chemical mean changing Wolfie?

This of course favors the belief that we are mechanistic in nature.

Change our chemicals coursing through our bodies and change us.

If this were true then there could not be free will. Then all we must do

is to sedate the bad machine-people.

There could be no other way to achieve change.

Yet here I am trying to change people by attempting to change their thoughts.

This is either possible or impossible depending on the fact we are

machine-people or 

we are truly God that can have consciousness and be able to change

 without recourse to meds, or

incarceration, or  torture(?) ,which could not be a viable method in either case.

 A machine cannot be tortured.

It can be reprogrammed. A free will cannot be altered, truly, by torture

because that would invalidate our assumption

of free will, and that the idea of a free willed person is not possible.

If we are machines, and we do not have the means to reprogram

our brethren, then why waste our time 

on a site such as OEN.?

If we each have free will then why do I waste my time trying to coerce

my position on another spiritual Being.

This conundrum is ours to ponder. Please tell me where I am right,

and where I am wrong,

 

and where we should look for answers.
