    Cramps in the feet and legs symbolize falling victim to an evil attack and being unable to stand, and they symbolize being taken out of the battle in Spiritual Warfare. The person with the cramp cannot stand on the battlefield. A person in the Divine Dynasphere can stand against the devil. Limbs that have cramps are weak and need to be strengthened, corresponding to recovery from reversionism

        I would be the equivalent of a Dune "mentat," using thought alone to create and shape realities. The fact I was physically confined in a mental institution would not bother me, since I could manufacture transcorporeal freedom any time I wanted to. I would be blogging about this (of course) by implanting memories in the subconscious minds of millions of people.

          It is probably a tough question for some, especially since most of us across the globe, both young and old heavily rely on computers and the internet. Today, life would be virtually impossible without it especially to developers like us. To answer the question, I would be a carpenter, and a farmer then I would create a machine from wood that will compile codes made out of paper that will produce kernels of corn. :laugh: Just kidding on that part. Seriously I would definitely be an artist, because being an artist is having the freedom to express your personality through art.

            I've often wondered that. The list I came up with is psychologist, philosopher, theologian, or monk, depending on how far back in time you want to go. Possibly architect. Then again, I'd probably be dead, having either died pathetically as a conscripted foot soldier in a war or from disease, or at best been a farmer. I seriously doubt I would have risen through any military ranks, but politician might have been possible, though in that case I would have lost my marbles drinking from lead-laced aqueducts if in Rome.

                              I would be totally lost. It's the only thing I know how to do. I hate all physical work (well... almost all :-O ) and I have two left hands. Perhaps I'd be an artist or a writer, I've done both in the past, but in that case I'd be starving too ;p

                              Read my (free) ebook Object-Oriented Programming in C# Succinctly. Visit my blog at Sander's bits - Writing the code you need. Or read my articles here on CodeProject.

                                        Why not be an actor? Then you could be any one of these whenever you wanted.

                                        We're philosophical about power outages here. A.C. come, A.C. go.

                                          It is probably a tough question for some, especially since most of us across the globe, both young and old heavily rely on computers and the internet. Today, life would be virtually impossible without it especially to developers like us. To answer the question, I would be a carpenter, and a farmer then I would create a machine from wood that will compile codes made out of paper that will produce kernels of corn. :laugh: Just kidding on that part. Seriously I would definitely be an artist, because being an artist is having the freedom to express your personality through art.

                                          If computers weren't in existence I think I'd just drive a truck. :-)
