No I'm saying that subjectivity can't be studied objectively so it can't be scientific.

Qualia is untouchable by science.
Quote:This is why I don't think you understand the process.  It's not about controlling the feelings, at all. It's about observing them objectively, and understanding that while our emotions are a part of us, we are not our emotions.

I already factored all that in when I said I know it's not about controlling things it's about accepting them and observing them. But then I then said if we have no control over our own accepting and observing those things then it's pointless trying to learn how to do something when we have no control over it.


Okay now I REALLY need to go to bed I'm getting obsessed. And I REALLY fucking hate it when I'm struggling to pull myself away and keep saying I will and not doing it yet... because that just stinks of EP.

Ni night. I'll try to stay calm this time.
