Hola!

I ask questions and ask for your thoughts because I'm curious. I want to know what people think. How they think. What's behind your ideas and beliefs. I want to try to know and try to understand.

I have been accused of being a psych who wants to rile people/members. Sitting back in my chair and what? watching the melee ? Being a Monday quarterback? Judging?

Nah. I'm not that deep. Or maybe I am. =D

I'm a conundrum. A conundrum to myself!

Y'all stay cool. :cool2: Aspire to be frosty. :blues:

Peace.:calm:

Thank you for giving me a place to be me for a minute. My thought processes vary.
Linear thinking: connecting ideas in sequence
Convergent thinking: The most common answer ( groupthink )
Divergent thinking: considering several alternative possibilities
Non linear thinking: :facepalm: most common response to which is "what are you talking about":okay:
The way our minds process information varies; our intelligence quotient does influence the way we process ideas, but there are other factors:
Genetics
Childhood
Parenting
Education
Morality
Drug and alcohol use

Garner's multiple intelligences:
( to stretch the areas of weakness in the following areas while utilizing our strengths )
Kinesthetic:
Mathematical
Musically
Interpersonally
Existential
Interpersonal
Analytically
:snicker:Plus one

Ways to enhance the learning process:
Talk
Write
Meditate
Listen
Speak
Sleep
Read read read read
Practice
Swim
Exist with purpose
Examine existentialism creatively

I like your posts and see nothing wrong about them and I always try to be honest and it is good to want to know how people think. Once I post something I forget what I post so I don't get upset or anything. I'm unable to distinguish things sometimes, as I've got slight Asperger/Bi-polar disorder, that's why I might come across as being a bit socially inept.

I love your questions Sig! If some folks don't want to answer, that's OK. I often don't answer when they are hot topics because I can't argue. I'm entitled to my opinion, as is everyone else. I don't want to have to prove anything.

I crave deep personal relationships. I want to share and I want everyone else to share along with me. Your threads are some of the best places to do that.

I learned something from a spiritual formation class I've been taking. It's simple really: we court each other in a way with the things we reveal. We deepen our bonds by what we share with each other. It's how we make friends. I give you some knowledge of me, you give some back - and on and on. So your threads actually help foster this unveiling of ourselves that leads us to deeper things. It's really remarkable to watch all of that unfold here.

No problem at all with asking questions as that's how we get to know each other and it's up to each person whether to answer the questions. The only problem I could see (and I'm not saying that's what's happening with anyone's questions) would be if information given was somehow used against that person later on.
