[quote:Opener of the Way:MV84ODcxMzdfMTM3NDYxMzFfMTBEMkFCQg==] [quote:brandon1234] [b]In order for something to have a "reason it was done" there has to be an intention behind it.[/b] Intention can come only from being. Rocks can't plan things out - rocks aren't intentional - they just sit. Only an intelligent being can have an intent to do something for a reason. I hope that makes sense. :) [/quote] Perhaps I should have said "reason it happened"? And I found that often one's intent or reason for doing something is not always why it happens. Maybe I'm just operating on the flipside and seeing things differently. Logic seems to be flawed in the world today I see people doing things for a reason much different then why it happens. maybe its because everyone is disconnected. I know when I do things I often see the reason for doing it after the fact. I find anything I plan fails so I quite planning and try to act in the moment. Where is the logic in spontaneity? I have found much synchroncity being this way and yet much confusion and depression because everyone else is operating with a different rule set. I learned something about the brain by putting 2 and 2 together many years ago. Mosty from watching science shows on TV about the latest research. One show was taking another look a the neural firing between the brain and muscles. It is well know that there is a signal delay but what the older studies neglected to do is look at the direction of the signal. They ASSUMED it was going from the brain to the muscles but in reality it was muscles sending a feedback signal to the brain! They found that the neurons in the brain associated with the muscle fire AFTER the nerve endings connected to the muscle. The brain in our head does not control our actions! It is a processor of input information. Why do you think most of our sensory organs are located on our head? To minmalize signal delay! If our brain in our head controlled our body would you not expect it to be located equidistant from our extremities? Let me ask you this... does it make sense that a chicken can run around with its head cut off? If it was merely reflexes it would be uncontrolled twitching. Then I watched this other show about the 1billion + neurons that they discovered in the human gut. They were talking about it as if it was a new discovery but this "neural knot" has been observed in the body since at least the beginning of the last century. Another name for it that I have learned since then is the "Enteric brain". This is the brain that is responsible for the actual control of your body. <-Now this is me putting things together. I did not read this or learn from a TV show but it is the only thing that makes sense. This gut brain is only connected to the brain in your head by the vagus nerve. Otherwise it is it's own isolated neural net. Point being is that you don't move your arm because you think about moving it but rather you reason why you moved it after the fact. This is a reality that no one seems to be aware of. I hope this clears things up as to my way of thinking and why what we think we're doing isn't always what we are actually doing. It seems to me that the whole world is living in a delusional matrix reality where we believe our actions are for the reasons we think they are. So let me ask you this.. Does intent come from the gut? Is this not where the will chakra is located? If one is trully acting on one's intent do you think you will always know the reason for it before doing it? Or will you restrict what you do because it isn't logical at the time? [/quote]

If you don't believe in the God of the Bible, I'm curious to know your reasons for that.
Let me know your thoughts. :)
