To everyone responding!!!
I'd like to keep this discussion somewhat limited and try to avoid mass attacks.
Please, respond to one point in Guido's thread ONLY.
Let the first responder on that point discuss it with Guido until that one point is settled before we move on.
Try not to pile on.
If Guido asks, the thread will be closed temporarily if he needs time to marshall a response.
When you ask a question or post a response, wait for him to respond before posting anything else.
If any of the Admins feel this is getting out of hand WE will step in to try to keep it manageable.
Thank you.

Okay, Funkaloyd is up first.
Everybody hang loose. Let Guido and Funk discuss this aspect fully before adding anything else.
Guido will tell us when he's ready to go on to the next issue. Until then, EVERYBODY else sit out and just wait!
Thank you.

Eta
I'm trying to help Guido work through this issue. To keep things within a reasonable context, I've asked folk to be patient and let him deal with only one person at a time.
If he responds to you, please feel free to answer. But try to do so in a manner and at a level where he can understand.
GUIDO is a young man just blossoming into the idea of questioning. He's only thirteen years old and so if you respond to a message from him, please remember his possible base and try to keep things in an appropriate setting. You're going to have to do more than just say something is wrong, you will have to explain what is wrong and why it is wrong at a level, and in a style, that is appropriate.

I really think you need to understand the basics
before you try to tackle anything else. If you don't understand things such as Laws, how will you ever be able to determine if something is possible of not?
Hang in. Work with Eta. He can be a great teacher. When he says something you don't understand, ask him to explain it again using some different method. Make him work if necessary, he can do it.
Frankly, even considering something like Mind over Matter is an exercise in futility at this point. You just don't have the basics yet.

Welcome Oscar.
We're glad you found your way home. Pull up a stump and set a spell.
A couple things that may make your stay here more enjoyable. First, there are two ways to respond. In the lower left you will find a reply button. It posts a general reply to a thread. Beneath each message in a thread, on the right, is another reply button. If you click on that your reply is tied to a specific message in the thread. For example, your post was tied to message two, my initial message when this topic was opened.
When you use the later method (as you did) it also sends a mail message to the person who authored the message you are replying to if they have selected notification in their profile.
At the bottom of this message you will find several links to other tips and hints that will help you enjoy your stay.
Again, welcome to EvC.
