I'll get him , before he gets me.The perfect recipe for confrontation.

We are all instinctively aware of the power we have, but until we
realize that, we are running away from shadows.

So would "Defense Preparation" be part of a paranoid assumption you're
going to be attacked??? I’d say life/nature has “bugged” us with
instincts we’ll never consciously grasp. A corollary to stayin’ alive
is killin’ something else. What can ya’ do??

Okay, so reading through all that, I conclude that scientists have a
very verbose way of saying that our actions are controlled by physical
bio-chemical apparatus and that we currently don't know how that
combination of living matter functions.

This would be parallel to almost every aspect of our cognitive senses.
They (meaning the scientists) can tell us where certain functionality
in the brain originates, and then “how-what” it is doing, but not “how-
why” or “how come”. (i.e. I have thoughts; I have a physical set of
cells that accomplish the task, but -- why do I think in words and
dream in pictures?? Why do I remember some thoughts and not others??
What leads me from one thought to another?? Where does the thought go
when I move onto another?? How is it stored; who’s translating the
data??? Etc……)

My belief is that I will never know an answer to any question that I
came to this forum for, and yet I keep trying,

There are people that want to pay the price afterwards and people that
want to pay on beforehand.

You might "forget" to pay afterwards. You might have paid on beforehand
and never get the product.

I think getting "him" is paying on beforehand? Or not?
