Default yesterday

Lots of pollution makes man warm (a woman doesn't hurt either).Where there's smoke there's work. if you don't get it right , you'll be sleeping in a bathtub (yellow submarine) too. we're only in it for ourselves(I once had a girl,or should I say she once had me). First date gone wrong?(blind date). Work (life) priorities interfere in pursuit of pleasure? That sort of waste of time for our own needs that we must pursue. Try yesterday for an answer. Our memory is clear about what we gain and what we lose when we make decisions.

Default why

That is true. Chemicals play an important part in the way our brain works. But the why of belief goes right into our primitive instincts of security/survival. The temporal lobes, amygdala and brain stem continue to show the power of the subconscious in shaping our conscious thoughts.

id.s,

While you may be represententative of a certain small segment of the population of this city, you're making the rest of us look bad.

There's nothing more annoying than having some whacked out "ex hippy turned realist" spouting some nonsensical proto-parapsychology about some unknowable all-truth claim to be from the same town as you.

Just gives me an all over icky feeling.

Default Paul the non offensive one

That was the only song Paul claims to have written. He even took Yoko to court over the rights to the composer as McCartney only after it was written Lennon - McCartney for over 25 years. He lost. Now it looks as though they're here to stay oh be afraid of tomorrow. Hope I don't offend you. Some advice. Don't worry about yesterday or tomorrow,it's already programmed with your mind in mind. Sit down, relax, enjoy and float down stream; is this not lying is this not dying ; turn off your mind ,surrender to the void....... I think we found where you fit. Don't try me on the beatles. I grew up watching their "Tragical history tour " from nobodies to Bigger than gOD. Beware, that ickey feeling all over is from the shit you smell coming from the micro/ macro parts of your body as I expose your swiss cheese life is really hol(E)y limburger. Right Deadbeat!

Default you gotta have faith (the 6th sense)

I don't have faith in what I believe or disbelieve. I have faith in my belief that the universe and everything in it exists regardless of gods' existence or not,hence, no need to believe in one and no need to not believe in one. We only need to have faith in belief.
You can believe in non belief as long as you have faith in it.If your faith falters though,you may be a candidate for any absurd belief structure. You could make it belief in nature, our safest and most ancient, where we sanctify the bliss and equality in life, or maybe man(like most religions do) raising him high above the other "creatures" with his false sense of mastery over fellow man and environment. Sex, beer, endorphins,money,country---whatever your payoff--- as long as you have the faith to believe it, then you can make it true. Your brain takes care of the rest. Better to make a choice though and live with it, so, That Is Why (Refer to top)
