Can we choose our thoughts?

I tend to agree with you. I'm re-reading NLP And Health by Ian . MacDermott and Joesph .

There's a line of research in the medical profession looking into pysconeuroimmunology.

 

But I suspect this thread will go the same way as previous threads that have addressed aspects of mind/brain pysconeuroscience. The "hard determinists" will square up to

the advocates of free will. So it goes.

 

Not necessarily. It's managed two pages, so far, of decent sharing of views and ideas.

Lockjaw,

 

My apologies if I've jumped the gun.

Ignore the " constipation in the head" concept at the end of the article.

This thread isn't about free will or determinism though is it.

 

It didn't start that way, some of us 'chose' to derail it, looking at you LockJaw!
