Guys. You are now breathing manually. : D um I thought breathing was involuntary as it is Pardon? breathing, is involuntary Yes. But breathe manually. that means your involuntary muscles are no longer working And see how long it takes you to forget it and breathe normally. which means that your heart is not beating anymore Which is my point. No. It means that your brain takes over instead of your autonomous nerve system. Doesn't mean you stop breathing. Just that you control it. And it takes a while before you can stop thinking about it. That was my point. that's common knowledge like if you jump off a 200 foot building, you're gonna break your leg Then why are you debating it. It's a mindfuck. Not a scientific statement.
