BTW, which words did you think weren't in English? You're long on semi-fancy words and short on meaning. You must mean preemptive. Like a preemptive attack designed to disable the enemies ability to launch a first strike. That's what it means to say 'I don't want to be preached to and I'm not interested in hearing the arguments'. It's the epitome of hostile. (look it up)

Heh heh So that watching is a thought too? I thought it was a gap between thoughts because there wasn't any commentary running. If you're a really clever watcher, you can watch yourself thinking the thought 'I'm watching for the next thought'. Hehe. When you forget to think that thought is when you start thinking other thoughts, and then catch yourself coming through the door. It's all a one man show. The best you can do is back up the observation point until a real gap occurs, but when it does you won't be there to experience it. It's auspicious nonetheless. Hmm,.. maybe I'm missing something. I can see the "I'm watching for the next thought" thought, but what I'm referring to (well, what I think I'm referring to..) is not that. When it happens, its like the thought radio has been switched off. Everything continues on, but its mentally silent.

It's what I meant by you're adding to something that isn't there...an attitude - you can't say HIS attitude is hostile, when it's your own attitude that is hostile. You are the one affixing the label of enemy to James. That whole 'attack designed to disable...' is pure paranoia on your part. You refuse to look at you and L's (e.g.) colossal history of hostility that makes you see things this way...it's YOUR war.

It's not exactly what you missed, it's what you added to it. You are trying to be clever with the flu bug quip, but it's clearly your own hostility shining through. Nice. I added something to what you said? Me no think so. Stay with me here...quite clearly I was referring to the original responses about James's post(s).

Good analogy, there's no watcher or seeing yourself thinking, there's a silent stillness filled with existence happening..

You refuse to look at you and L's (e.g.) colossal history of hostility that makes you see things this way...it's YOUR war. Now you are hostile. There's no war, no enemy, no attack (well, maybe a little of that). I was just trying to clarify what the word means for you by giving an example in common usage. Here's the official definition: "serving or intended to preempt or forestall something, especially to prevent attack by disabling the enemy." In this case, take it to mean,'To forestall an attack.'

No, but that thought or similar (or something different) often comes after a few seconds.

Okay, you look back and see that the mind was silent for a few seconds. That's great. (I was just saying that, during that silence, you weren't there, because 'you' are in those thoughts.)

You can't really believe that anyone who's had a good taste of this place would expect it to be calm for long, do you? No, you are hostile. Your little quips are peppered throughout your posting history. Frogs don't have necks -- so how you managed to stick it out now, is beyond me.
