there are choices to actions. most of the time there are dozens of things we could do next.

Something like that, that I learned as a teen, is pretty foundational to my understanding of other worldly matters

Whether you think something is true or not is not really chosen. A lot of things I think are true don't have anything to do with how I think they affect me. I think water is wet. I think that whether or not I'm at risk of getting wet. It's just in alignment with reality as I know it. Now if you...

I'm not a medical doctor either, I'm a mental health counselor. I'm not sure what the exact development of the square breathing vs the 7 breathing methodology is, I just intuited from experimenting. It's manageable to breathe in to a count of 4, then hold your breathe, then exhale, then hold...

Almost forgot, we also have some Mormon churches and I have located some churches that are not unlike my grandfather's (Armstrong) church. And there are a couple of SDA churches here, along with the other numerous denominations, including several historically African American church denominations.

It seems the ideas about the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit must have all been early ideas, but without anything in writing left by Jesus to clarify, it took centuries of philosophical development in order to reconcile the ideas. And then centuries defending them to get most people satisfied that...

I like the suggestion

I always thought gnashing of teeth was more like animals snapping at each other and missing.

Both the square breathing and the seven in seven out are found in mental health treatment for relaxation. I think the idea of seven in seven out is that it is almost but not quite the same count as in-4, hold-4, out-4, hold-4. If you're breathing straight in and straight out, a count of 8 is a...

Not altogether. We are either convinced of something or we are not. Here's an example: Imagine if I told you I was 200 years old. Would you choose to believe me? Could you?

Some people have trouble keeping focus. Some people may believe in or wish for a specific, formally defined form of meditation and want to learn it, as I believe there are any forms.

If some know they are going to die, or are in the process of dying, there may well be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

Aren't most formal religions, in their orthodox form, or even some heterodox forms, considered RHP?

Is this the same concept what is referred to as the Higher Self by some? This article seems to imply yes Higher SelfâââDo You Have One?

If you have a specific complaint, report.
