There are only two things you can control, your thoughts and your actions..

What lie did you see?
Can you choose what cravings will arise today?

Here's what comes to mind; thread title: There are only two things you can control, your thoughts and your actions; and the troll called "you" trying to prove the title wrong by controlling all thought and action in the entire thread.

It's ok; many serial killers don't want to just kill but they also secretly desire to get caught.

Apparently, it either hasn't sunken in yet or you didn't want to get caught... at least perhaps not by me. I already destroyed my entire house of BS and try to help others destroy theirs not to rebuild my own out of their rubble though, that's just nasty... but not as bad as the yagas that snail their entire house over you waiting to hatch.

A yaga is the best adversary ever though... makes you kick your ashes like hmm maybe I could build something out of this burnt wreckage of a self again.

Is there anything wrong with denying ignorance? This discussion board is about denying ignorance.
It is not true that 'you' control thoughts or actions.
If you answer the question asked then there could be a discussion.

Can you choose which cravings will arise today? Or do cravings just happen spontaneously?

Getting more and more desperate I see and now throwing as many validations why you need validation as possible... it's ok everything is beyond your control except for you... so work on that for a change is my suggestion.

Still avoiding the simple question? Is there any choice in that??

a reply to: Itisnowagain

Yes mine not yours and as I can clearly see it is irritating the hell out of you... re: that control thing I mentioned last post.

Aggression arises from fear

No aggression arising here.
No irritation either - I am not the one avoiding answering a simple question.
What is so scary about answering the simple question? Can you control which urges or cravings will arise today?

a reply to: Itisnowagain

Yes it doesn't fit the thread title so being contrarian only occurs on the title under which you post... as aside from denying ignorance staying on topic is also a rule.

So a troll but a noble troll how sweet not breaking the rules is how such trolls become a resident for so long... your black hole of being has been an interesting experience to observe over the years and fun.

But now that it's figured out... eh, formulate some else or pretend it didn't happen?

Do you believe that they have a choice in murdering or wanting to get caught?
Maybe they don't like what they are doing and are glad when it ends (getting caught). Prison is the only thing that will stop them and they know it because they know they have no control over their actions.

Explain how the thread has been taken off topic?
The discussion is still about 'control over thought and actions' - but there is no control because there is no one in there directing the brain activity (Stephen Hawkings said so - but it can be seen and known directly also!).
Please report the posts and see if you can get them removed as 'off topic' posts.

The thread title states that 'you' have control over 'your' thoughts and actions and if every post said - yes that is true - it would be a very short discussion and it would not be a discussion - it would be an overwhelming agreement - no discussion needed.
To really get the ball moving - questions like 'can you control what cravings will arise today?' are thrown in to really question if there is anyone 'in there' controlling anything?

Have you listened to the video talk by David Bohm (American Physicist)?

a reply to: Itisnowagain

no trapped in your own mind by all these concepts you can't control and angry at those claiming they have any control over them...

that's what i've seen.

try try again you'll get it maybe you've found it more fulfilling being a doubt a sign pointing the opposite direction a stumbling block... perhaps you are aware of all of this and like an administrator try to stop others from going beyond what you see as too far yet have been laying the same trap for monkeys fir so long you were the one that started grasping and fell into your own trap.

no matter just quit pretending you know something all knowledge is the same and moot no one knows a damned thing and there is nothing to know. but boy oh boy is there everything to experience until you sort out favorites slants biases and then wall yourself in... to many thats just as free as actual freedom so who cares right?

There is no anger arising but there is much laughter - it is comical how the mind won't allow the question to be answered and what it spews instead.

Is that something that you are pretending to know? Lol.

There is nothing to know and no one to know it.
There is simply what is happening - 'happening'/'what is being' is not two.
There isn't 'someone' doing 'what is happening' - that makes two.

Yes i'm laughing too... by holding up a mirror until it ceases to be funny on one side..

Is it actually a mirror or just a pane of glass?

a reply to: BigBrotherDarkness

Sounds/feels like deflection!
Let's keep the thread on topic.

Can you choose what cravings or urges will arise today?
Yes or no?

a reply to: Itisnowagain

back into trying to control by saying it's all off topic yet still forming your own huh?

ps sweetie you got it off topic to begin with wanting to eat ice cream. now you want to know what cravings or urges so we can have another date...

oh i dunno itsnowagain i might just go back to sleep and see what it craves or stay up have some coffee... craving? that's different than a want...

example i smoke cigarettes and f-ing love it many people don't or were programmed not to in that whole brainwashing campaign in the early 90's not too and blaming joe camel for it. don't have any right now so where is the actual evil? in my so called craving to have something i enjoy or in those wishing to take it away?

bear in mind anyone that tries to control someone not them deserves the death they'll get in that karma of trying to control others not them in mass or not.

my form i'll enjoy it and destroy it as i see fit regardless of anyone else trying to lay claim or attachment to it without my consent i don't need anyone's consent to do with it as i will and the day that arises i'll destroy it and keep on destroying it... until they give up as i am the host in my own form.

cheers

No one is trying to control anything.
The thread title states that there is 'someone in there' controlling thoughts and actions.
Is there really anyone 'in there'?
Scientists including Stephen Hawkings and David Bohm have investigated and have found there is nothing/no one 'in there' directing thought or actions.

craving? that's different than a want...

"Man can do what he wills but he cannot will what he wills." — Arthur Schopenhauer.

example i smoke cigarettes and f-ing love it

Can you choose not to love smoking cigarettes?

yes you dingaling craving desire and attachments... the buddha pointed to that heap over 5000 years ago I was pointing out your desire attachment and craving it's the kind thing to do for progress even if it sounds mean as an admonition like yes been there done that heard it know it can;t ever be separate from it what do you want from me ffs? That sort of thing and I pointed out that I'm more eh whatever easy going happy go lucky don't care.

Like when I invite someone to a restaurant I don't care what they order... go appetizer, salad, main, dessert and drink whatever you feel like in as copious amounts as desired... hell that's what I do whenever I'm in the mood for it.

The point isn't any of the crap to me that matters it's the company itself that matters... I don't even care what the conversation is unless it really means something to them and even if it doesn't I listen wholeheartedly... now I know you'll order chocolate ice cream so hey if you have to go poop, vomit, or just send a text not as psycho or just as psycho as thought after dinner then some could be on the table when you come out... that's romance

Not trying to romance anyone yet everyone because the ego only romances itself.

I didn't want to eat ice cream.
I asked whether there is a choice in what flavor is favourite to demonstrate that there is no choice in what is preferred at any given time. No one can say what cravings/urges will arise because urges and cravings just arise - no one is choosing cravings or urges.
It is very simple.

It is an illusion that there is 'someone' in there directing the brain activity.

a reply to: Itisnowagain

Fine I'll sit here and eat it and chocolate wouldn't have been my choice...

Sure there is... and if not you're not very charismatic. Dang as a venus flytrap I didn't know I'd have to point to how to look like a flower so you can get what you want and have a choice.

That's the difference between adult and child where age has nothing to do with it just ones acting ability and charisma and how bad they want whatever it is they claim to be craving.




"...don't want everything he wants it all" That's how the meek inherit the earth btw... weave a web then say umm what web as they feed on those caught in it.

I just watch it and giggle when people try to trap me in it... we are all in it interweaving webs all over everywhere concept jungle after concept jungle fuel for it all to keep going and burning. Til it doesn't matter the burning or even ending it is what it is... if society cared they would change it not caring is why it doesn't or hasn't changed.
