what actions to do you make?

what do you think of your birth, what do you think of your life?

why do you believe death will happen to you?

what thoughts do you keep?

The thoughts that I keep are my own. They vary from philosophical wonders, to personal regrets or praise.

what actions to do you make?

I am not sure of the basis of this question, but I will try and answer the best I can...
The actions that I make are ones that I hope make me a better person. I hope the actions that I make are worthy of atleast approval. Still, if not approved, I hold all of my actions with all consequence and acknowledgement of what I'm doing.

what do you think of your birth, what do you think of your life?

I figure my birth is a blessing, and that life is a blessing.

why do you believe death will happen to you?

I have been asking myself the same questions lately. I guess right now I feel it just happens to everyone and some day I'll get my turn.

why do you connect yourself to what you connect with?

I connect to things because of how I feel towards them and visa versa. I obviously would not connect with something I felt confusion or ignorance for, and they would not for me.

do you believe something is better than nothing in terms of existence of yourself?

...Well yes.. I think that something is always better then nothing... I mean, would you rather have a spoon full of peas to eat once a day, or nothing at all, for weeks, maybe months?

do you think you cause harm, or conversely good?

I think in some stages of my life I have cause 'some' harm. With that said, I have always tryed to find some way to redeem my self after all incidents. And now always try and do 'good'.

what do you think of yourself?

I think I have some regrets, but I would see it as satifactory. I mean, I could be doing much better then I am right now, but then again, I could always be doing much worse.

How about you L&C.. Intrique me by now explaining yourself.

what are you? damn. well I'm a white girl from montana. I'm a youngn, but I'm an independent chick who grew up in a really political and educated family. I like to think I have a good head on my shoulders.

what thoughts do you keep? Well mostly it's like random thoughts and shit that just pop in and out of no where.

what actions to do you make? I try to think before I take action. A cpl yrs ago I was quite the spontaneous type person and I did alot of acting without thinking. Needless to say it got me in some trouble.

what do you think of your birth, what do you think of your life? My birth? I always wonder like if my mom would've married some other dude would I still be around as the same person? prob not. Um I'm glad I was born, though I wish it woulda been 5 days later then my bday would've been on 420. Life now is aight I miss alot of ppl but what can ya do life goes on.

why do you believe death will happen to you? I'm invincable and as far as im concerned ill never die (knocking on wood right now) no but I'm not worried about it- its natural and when its my time then its my time.

why do you connect yourself to what you connect with? I connect myself with chill ppl that I can relate to because I'm a chill person myself. At this point in my life I'm pretty much about myself and finding myself as a person.

do you believe something is better than nothing in terms of existence of yourself?
Yep. You gotta be happy with what you have because it could be a lot worse that's for sure.

do you think you cause harm, or conversely good? im sure i do..especially with guys who have gf's because they mack on me and its not fault.

what do you think of yourself? I'm confident in my appearance and everything, but ya know it's hard to be totally happy w/ yourself when you're 19 because it takes time to get to that point but ya im gettin there.

I suppose it would only be fair.

What am I?

i am serious of ideas and thoughts that identify itself with a lump of flesh that has a whole galaxy of bacterias and organisms that maintain whatever i am.


What thoughts do i keep?

the ones that pass through me. for years, and years i have pondered exactly where these thoughts come from, if their mine, and if what full effect they have on me or the outside. the only thing i can be sure of is they pass through me, and they vary quite abit and they dont always stick around.

What actions do I make?

the ones that are a result of the ideas and thoughts posted above.

i have no control over them, for even if tell myself i will not do that, i am essentially becoming a slave to the thought "i will not do that" making me a hypocrit.

what do i think of birth?

i think of it as a grey area i have no real idea of. ive seen births before, but i've never seen my birth. birth burns the question in me, "what was i suppose to do again?" it's hard to look at a birth and to think thats where i came from.

What do i think of life?

"what was i suppose to do again"

why do i think death will happen to me?

because i must end. when experience becomes the universe, it only seems logical to step out of experience to keep the origenal universe going, or else it's no longer experience, it's just a state of being.

do you believe something is better than nothing in terms of existence of yourself?

this i ponder quite a bit.

i have no answer.

do you think you cause harm, or conversely good?

no i dont. i do not believe in harm, nor good. everything is.

what do you think of yourself?

i think of myself as a question and i think of you as the answer.

reverie

This is a good topic L&C :], It's delighting to read peoples responses.

Here's mine:

what are you?
I am an experiencer. In the words of Led Zeppelin "I am a traveler of both time and space, to be where I have been".

what thoughts do you keep?
I try to have fluid thoughts, that all encompass one another. I try to relate concepts to my experiences so I can gain understanding. I dream and desire a lot. I try to imagine the thoughts of others as well as read them.

what actions to do you make?
Ones reflective of what is within myself at certain moments. Everything i do is a product of a greater cause, and that of which influences all.

what do you think of your birth, what do you think of your life?
I was supposed to have spina bifida, the doctors told my mother it was likey of a 98.9% percentage. They offered an abortion but my parents decided to love me regardless, and here I am healthy as can be. I believe it was a miracle.

why do you believe death will happen to you?
Why? because its part of a process..

why do you connect yourself to what you connect with?
Because its so simple Effortless.

do you believe something is better than nothing in terms of existence of yourself?
Not completely.... Then again I dont really understand anything that is "nothing".

do you think you cause harm, or conversely good?
Depends how you view "harm".. I believe I have done both. My existence is very influencial on others. Though how it affects others is dependant on each individual.

what do you think of yourself?
I don't really feel like I'm here...I feel like Im observing. I am nothing without everything else.

The topics I tend to think about are "where am I", "what is the universe?", "what is the mind (consciousness)?", "what is God?"

I think alot. Sometimes I go out and get weed

My birth? Can't say I remember much of it... but considering most babies come out crying, I immagine it not to be such a pleasant ride
My life... well, it isn't over yet, so I can't really make up my mind yet. It's like judgeing a rollercoaster ride while only half-way...

Syllogistic logic.
1. I am a human being.
2. All human beings die, physically, eventually.
3. I will die.

Fun, feeling as if I'm part of a tradition... stuff like that

Don't know yet.

Both. Don't we all?

I pretty much like myself, though I'm an overducated stoner bum

JcP

what are you? I AM.

what thoughts do you keep? "Why?"

what actions to do you make? Not as much as I should. This is my test this lifetime I think. Can I put into action what I know in thought.

what do you think of your birth, what do you think of your life? I didn't cry when I was born. I looked directly into my mother's eyes (according to her) and smiled. So I guess that says a lot about it. I think my life is a journey of discovery. Of finding a balance between what I want for myself and what I can give to others.

why do you believe death will happen to you? Because once you finish reading a page in a book, you need to turn the page to find out what's next! And I hate not knowing the ending.

why do you connect yourself to what you connect with? Because love is love is love.

do you believe something is better than nothing in terms of existence of yourself? I bring love to people by existing. So yes, I believe "something" is better than "nothing."

do you think you cause harm, or conversely good? Both, of course. Hopefully, more one than the other.

what do you think of yourself? I think I have a lot to learn. But I think I'm a lot further along than anyone thought I'd be by now .

I keep none. Memories, ideas, regrets, fears surface ... Ideas are held above all as is necessary for them to manifest.
Actions are thoughts (or intention) manifest... so answered above
I think that my birth is significant only to those linked to me. my life is awesome... there are always 'problems'... but since I'm here, I may as well make the most of it.
I don't
Either from innate interest or because it is drawn to me or IT IS... so I do not connect myself to the things, we simply are connected.
Apparently I prefer something.
When my intention is to cause good, I cause good.
A faithful student of life I think that I am perfectly flawed.

best.thread.ever.

Waves

what are you?

Energy. A collection of molecules, which is in turn a collection of something else. Im a part in a chain.

what thoughts do you keep?

I dont keep any thoughts, they pass through my mind once in awhile, thats it.

what actions to do you make?

Actions that are in line with my intent at the moment, whatever that may be

what do you think of your birth, what do you think of your life?

birth and childhood is a complex process, and taking into account i dont remember any of it, i cant answer the first one. i mean im glad it happened otherwise i wouldnt be here, but thats as far as my feelings on that subject go. My life has been wonderful. Absolutely wonderful. Wouldnt trade it for anyone elses life, ever.

why do you believe death will happen to you?

Because i will choose to move on from this little fish-bowl we call our galaxy and onto different adventures.

why do you connect yourself to what you connect with?

I dont connect myself with anything. I just be myself.

do you believe something is better than nothing in terms of existence of yourself?

Something is always better than nothing.

do you think you cause harm, or conversely good?

Nobody can cause harm to another person. On the flipside, no one can cause "good" to people either. Its a personal choice for one to experience these things. Sure, it might seem on the surface that a person can be a victim and a perpetrator but that is all part of the game we're playing.

what do you think of yourself?

I think im great, lol!
