How Attuned Are You...

[GregoryJoseph]

...to being a human being? I know that sounds crazy, but I think we forget that we're basically mammals underneath this amazing intelligence and spirituality we've been gifted with.

Do you feel your instincts kick in from time to time? Do you just KNOW something is wrong? Do you feel eyes on you in a crowded restaurant or bar, turn and see someone staring at you?

Have you ever just thought of someone and they call you on the phone or you run into them?

Do you pay attention to these things or ignore them?

Have you ever hiked through the woods and been unseen by animals?

These are things we all have and are capable of, but we've let modern conveniences and technology dull them.

Experience them and feel alive.

[Dude!]

i got your number

[brettmojo]

Yes.

[Foster]

even though I have my blackberry on silent, I know when a text comes in

[sailor]

those are just coincidences

those are just coincidences

I knew someone updated this thread, even though I was on Facebook when it happened

[mikeyboy]

I'm totally locked into all of that, but it might have something to do with this vestigial tail.

[GregoryJoseph]

those are just coincidences

They happen quite often, don't they?

[thejives]

I'm not sure what any of this means.

I think I wake up very spiritually aligned, but that gets chipped away throughout the day. By bedtime I have no center at all. Maybe dreams reset me again.

[Foster]

I wake up every morning 1 minute before my alarm goes off

[sailor]

They happen quite often, don't they?

nah, it's just you only remember the times it works out. how many times do you think of someone and the phone doesn't ring? then it happens one time and you're all like http://super-genius.org/images/whoa_matrix.jpg

Three times is enemy action.

Great. You're a robot.

I can always find parking

[thejives]

I can always find parking

But do you ever feel like the world has a pulse and you can feel it?

[GregoryJoseph]

There comes a time in a person's life when they suddenly understand.

Only if they're not trying to, however.

[thejives]

Does there really?

Somehow I doubt it.

I've had what felt like werid preminitions a few times, but they don't always come true so pretty much ignore them. Its all pretty much just life experience and memory that creates these feelings. I don't believe in spooks, and supernatural mumbo-jumbo.

What exactly qualifies as "mumbo-jumbo" in your estimation?

I more in tune with other animals than I am with humans.

Crocodile Dundee like.

I'm not afraid of any animal.

Then you obviously are not attuned to being human.

[thejives]

How different is a human from an animal anyway?

What like an attuna fish?

so called psychic abilities and sensing the future, and talk to your dead relatives, guess your weight guy at the boardwalk, raffle tickets, and weathermen. Especially weathermen.

[thejives]

No matter how different we are now, our species has roots in the animal world.
I think there's a kind of spirituality in getting back to that.

I'm just more human than human...

I spoke of instincts, like all animals have.

I didn't mention speaking to the dead or foreseeing the future.

Most assuredly so, jives.

Spending time in the woods and living close to the earth will transform you.

[thejives]

Yeah. I agree.
It's just hard to integrate that into the world we live in today.

[brettmojo]

Most assuredly so, jives.

Spending time in the woods and living close to the earth will transform you.
It sure will...

Jesus Christ, someone's having an existential night. I can't wait to see what part three of this trilogy will be.

Yep. It would be much more unlikely for improbable things to NEVER happen.

I feel it all the time. With certain women, I feel a stroger attraction than others, and some of these types are the the typical classical beauties. I think I am programmed to be drawn to some types over others. I am talking about middle eastern looking women, with dark features and lean body types. Not too many curves necessary. Their eyes pierce my soul.

Of course we have instincts still. If you had to you could go out and hunt your dinner down if you had to and do it without having ever done it before. We're predators. What are you smoking tonight G?

I'm more attuned to being a human doing.
