You are clearly an intelligent person. But you always seem to miss the point of the discussion because your main focus is this tiny little aspect of knowledge to do with energy and action/reaction. Do you not have any desire to move on and expand your field of view instead of just seeing everything from your own perspective ?

If you could for just one minute be honest with yourself, you would admit that these things you say about action/reaction etc are something you feel but not something you know. You are allowing yourself to be limited, stuck treacle like in an alleyway. So you are exactly the same as the things you criticise in others. This false idea of truth traps you and your mind functions in a way to defend your false conception. Sure there are people who post here whose main focus is to always be right because that is their goal. They score better on dilligence and sincerity than you, but you score better on courage and creativity. The difference is more significant than that though. There is a need to ascribe to reason when you are discussing things born of reason. Sure reason itself can never comprehend the totality - but thats something the more dilligent reasonists accept completely. The reason they choose to do so is that it provides a reliable framework. History may teach that taking the safe route never moves understanding forward in leaps and bounds. But it also teaches that people who disregard things purely because they feel threatened by them in terms of their own ignorance of the subject look the most foolish. Continue being a free spririt. But take notice of what people say to you. If you just think of the best reply you can make -the one most likely to defend your imagined cause, what hope have you of discovering the truth on anything ? I'm sure you are aware that you don't have the full truth. I rekon we should all throw away all preconceptions of what we know every day. Its a difficult thing to do because we think we may loose something of ourselves. But if we trust ourselves to be able to weigh things up anew each time - sometimes making mistakes - but always grounded in a search for truth, then how can we go wrong ? It is the preconcieved that is always bthe enemy of truth. Truth is alive and new every day.

So the choice is to become set in your ways and consider that the interplay of energy can explain everything, or to be free and willing to learn and just as willing to question. If you keep on with this bunkam philosophy people here will eventually get bored with your willfull false focus. They may themselves have a false focus (I know I often do), but you need to engage people where they are rather than where you are. It just makes conversation with you seem pointless. I'm sure many people think the same about me. But you are an extreme example of someone wanting to make a point just for the sake of it. Use your gifts in intelligence to find out why people think you don't make any sense - then discuss the issues they discussed rather than trying to save face.

I honestly rekon you have plenty of potential. You just waste it by talking crap all the time. Focus on what your goal is. Do you want everyone to believe that reality is action/reaction, or do you want to understand the truth ? Thats an important issue for you to resolve and I rekon you can if you try.
