What can I say if you choose not to listen.

Nice example by the way (so kidding.). Only problem is energy isn't a physical object.

Ironically you are using visualization when you use your arms, you're just so use to it that the thought that you think about performing a certain doesn't feel like it happens.

Once again, I have to get up out of my bed to address this properly... Can't you just leave it be, you really sound like you're getting desperate...

You wanting to pick up a glass of water isn't some involuntary movement where it just happens to pick up the water... You want to pick up the water, weather to drink it, water some plants, add to a mixture whatever. The thought of picking up the water is what gets you to actually pick up the water. You don't just move your arm, that's a mindless claim because you didn't even take the time to think it over yourself before you went and used it as your proof. which ironically isn't proof at all. Its a random claim that you felt was right.

If you really want to get technical with it, you're nervous system is the reason why you are moving. You aren't just moving your arm. There are several sets of neurons that each are given a specific task in achieving a certain goal. Neurons that recieve information from a sense, or sensory neurons. Neurons that transfer the information recorded by the sensory neurons towards the Cerabellum, which I see it as the secretary of the brain as it transfers the Interneurons to the parts of the brain it's suppose to go to. (And I loved the Powerpuff Girls ^-^) Which leads to the motorneurons, the ones who take the interneurons information from the brain transferring it to the muscles that are required to in this case, pick up a glass of water. The question is, do you actually want to go through with picking up the glass of water, or don't you.

That part is simple to explain. Risk versus reward amigo. Whenever we perform an action we have a small thought if what we are doing is really worth doing, or we balance the thought with ideas similar to that and seeing which would be most benefitial to us. Is drinking this water now fine, is it dirty, is it cold, who's water is this, where's my freakin wallet.

In your case, you might be thinking things like

I'm going to lift my arm up now for no reason, this is awesome, guys look I can raise my hand!, woah magically my hand went up when I thought about lifting it usually my limbs just move on their own for no reason whatsoever and I find out about it well after the fact that it happened!

Please continue @Contributor.

Allow me to spit this mad knowledge all up in hea. If you continue to ignore what i'm saying but still feel I am wrong about it in someway then i'll just keep adding more and more and more to it.
