Thread: Shifting, am I doing it right?
Post: Re: Shifting, am I doing it right?

Thread: The color blue
Post: Re: The color blue

In order to gain credibility, we have to keep the discussion to things that people can observe empirically. I don't know anything about energy--if people find that thinking about energy helps them, t...
