You say in the ordinary way, I breathe, because you feel that breathing is something that you are doing voluntarily, just in the same way as you might be walking or talking.

But you will also notice that when you are not thinking about breathing, your breathing goes on just the same.

So the curious thing about breath is that it can be looked at both as a voluntary and an involuntary action.

The hard and fast division that we make between what we do on the one hand and what happens to us on the other is arbitrary.

Now that may at first seem a little scary, because you may think, well, am I just the puppet of a happening, the mere passive witness of something that's going on completely beyond my control?

Or on the other hand, am I really doing everything that's going along?

Well, if I were, I should be gone.

And that would be very embarrassing because I would be in charge of everything that could be terribly responsible position.

The truth of the matter, as you will see it, is that both things are true.

You can see it that everything is happening to you.

And on the other hand, you're doing everything, for example.

It's your eyes that are turning the sun into light.

It's the nerve ends in your skin that are turning electric vibrations in the air into heat and temperature.

It's your ear drums that are turning vibrations in the air into sound, and in that way you are creating the world.

This is infants on thrones.

Baby staves won't sound too preach to you.

The philosophies of men, mingled with humor.

I don't believe them.

There will be many willing to preach to you the philosophies of men mingled with humor.

We are evolving.

Baby staves.

You can buy in.
