That's the way I look at it. What happens to the heat after it escapes? Thanks!

What do you think happens to a person's mental processes when they die? We know the molecules that made up the body are converted into simpler molecules and recycled back into nature. How about something like the memories that were recorded in their brains (chemical and electrical...

thoughts on death... revisited Zen master Shunryu Suzuki Roshi once said, "You will always exist in the universe in one form or another." For an existentialist, this is easy to understand without having to resort to things like reincarnation, a soul that survives death, or any other similarly...

Lots of soy products available now... soy cheeses, soy meats, veggie burgers, soy yogurts, etc., right there along with the tofu and tempeh. For a little extra fat, add a little olive oil to the meal. Olive oil is a healthy fat... at least for humans.

JS, do you think maybe it's about the realization that you will no longer see her and it's a way of coming to terms with your loss? I had a similar dream a long time ago, also after a loss.

An axiom in traditional logic is not something proven, it is self-evident and its truth is assumed. Traditional religions and their scriptures are full of axioms (the things revealed by God to prophets, etc.). We could start a list of religious axioms here and go on and on for a long time...

For less than $50 you can have one of these. My parents - they developed a taste for that kind of strong coffee - had one that they bought in an Italian market in NYC when I was a kid. They last and last and last and make the real thing. I'm not a coffee drinker myself though. The one they...

I think you need to tell us what it means to be religious. Is it only someone that belongs to an established religion and believes that its members, scriptures, and their particular interpretation separate them from the rest of humanity and favors them in the eyes of a deity(ies)? Does it...

Has anyone here ever been confronted with a technical issue at work that you were struggling with, and then in a dream, the solution to the problem appeared? I have, and the solution in the dream was very clear and logical. According to research, the answer I received in my dream was the...

I've never read The Accursed Share: An Essay on General Economy, and I'm not familiar with Bataille (only through internet searches), but it seems like these authors are spot on with the meaning of the phrase, in the context of his theories: the tiger represents the power of consumption of life...

Instead, the patches are more like a plastic soup. An island of trash would have been easier to clean up.

My friend, a marathon runner, first told me about doing side leg lifts (see top of page 3 in link below) to help strengthen/condition the ITB. He got to where he would use some light ankle weights while doing his leg lifts. I did the exercise for awhile and found it helpful. This link shows...

Be glad it wasn't a so-called "dream of prediction," and your house is still standing. :wink: Btw, I don't think there's any scientific basis yet for "dreams that predict." It is quite a coincidence that a bulldozer appeared in your dream and also the next morning. Also that after your...
