#54. A Summer Riddle

Can you answer this Paul Harvey RIDDLE? It was presented on his September 6, 1997 broadcast, but was written by Lee Pitts.

Read it carefully. It has been claimed that 80% of the kindergarten kids at a school got the correct answer to this riddle compared to only 17% of Stanford University seniors who got it right. Let me know if you got it right -- or not!

................Here is the Riddle:

...What is greater than God,
.........more evil than the devil,
...............the poor have it,
.....................the rich need it,
...........................and if you eat it, you'll die?

#46. Who is the Thinker?

It is natural for people to think. But what exactly is ... thinking?

Science tells us that thinking is achieved through the activity of the brain; that we use only 1/10th of our brain potential; that the brain functions as a phenomenal computer with zillions of gigabytes of RAM (I made that part up with my brain); that signals for hormonal secretions are sent to the proper glandular authorities to create emotional charges in the body at a moment's notice; that memory is stored in the brain for future recall; that the brain . . . and on and on and on it goes.

But is there a "thinker" behind our "thoughts"? Is there a non-physical YOU that is independent of the human brain . . . and body? Can this thinker therefore choose to creatively use the brain to think and produce solutions to your problems?

If you respond with a comment (and I hope you will), is your brain telling you what to write . . . or is it coming from the non-physical, non-human YOU?
