Anthony,
A better system is no system at all – Just THIS! …Bill! From: Zen_Forum@yahoogroups.com [mailto:zen_fo...@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Anthony Wu Sent: Friday, August 06, 2010 5:06 AM To: Zen_Forum@yahoogroups.com Subject: Re: [Zen] On: Understanding your world ED, No. I too have a meaning system that helps me understand the world. The difference may be I am more flexible. Probably too much so. For example, I am looking for a better 'system' to explain the world, than the karma and rebirth theory. If you convince me, I will convert to the 'glory' of whatever you come up with.

You appear to be the odd one out. Are you? --ED "Brain study shows that thinking about God reduces distress -- but only for believers." August 4th, 2010. <http://www.physorg.com/news200138848.html> www.physorg. com/news20013884 8.html " "Thinking about religion makes you calm under fire. It makes you less distressed when you've made an error," says Inzlicht. "We think this can help us understand some of the really interesting findings about people who are religious. Although not unequivocal, there is some evidence that religious people live longer and they tend to be happier and healthier." Atheists shouldn't despair, though. "We think this can occur with any meaning system that provides structure and helps people understand their world." Maybe atheists would do better if they were primed to think about their own beliefs, he says." __________ Information from ESET NOD32 Antivirus, version of virus signature database 5346 (20100806) __________ The message was checked by ESET NOD32 Antivirus. http://www.eset.com __________ Information from ESET NOD32 Antivirus, version of virus signature database 5346 (20100806) __________ The message was checked by ESET NOD32 Antivirus. http://www.eset.com
