Hi Robin Faichney -
>Why not? I only want to know how you see such stuff relating to
>science.
Feelings, opinions, attitudes, and the self-expression of such are
observable, and possibly validly trackable data.
That's all.
Observation is just a groundwork of science, of course.
From this instance, when you say you're feeling relaxed, I can expect
insulting retorts to innocent comments....
;-)
By the prayer wheel comment, I meant exactly what I said- an instance of
a material prop in the buddhist universe.
Can one be a buddhist without something to spin? Sure.
And I said that too.
Science, however, is not theatrical, and all religions are.
