I'm thinking it applies in the "aware" aspect of the energy I mentioned. It's a little different when you make it sorta "alive"-- sending messages and whatnot. I think listening to these messages is sorta like talking to God, you know? A higher power, I should say, perhaps. Maybe i's the group consciousness. Or El. Maybe it's the Energy itself. Maybe it's just patterns that are so beautiful, they are more than the sum of their parts. I think that, even when we're down, we know what we need to do to get back up, but actually doing it? I applaud that, is what I was saying about Hatton. Maybe it's some meds for a bit to even you out, maybe it's some Plato -- maybe a combination of the two, or funny movies -- you get the idea. As for relation to belief, I think it's more like belief in mystery than belief for belief's sake. Ponder this: The observer is linked directly with what's observed. The observed is affected by these observations. Now consider this: Peter Pan needed to *believe* he could fly, to fly. Somehow combine that into some type of deal where if you actively disbelieve, you could actually cut yourself out of whatever it is you are disbelieving. -- Or, just think about the flying, or even the placebo effect (which does *real* things, which should trip people out). There may or may not be anything greater than what is (what is might be way sicker than we think, but I digress), however, what is the difference between a half-full glass and a half-empty one? Maybe just drinking and pouring, but you can probably get the gist of what I'm aiming for here. [-: Yeah, to be true, it doesn't matter, belief or no is grand, GRAND I tell you! I happen to like the idea of The Force, or help from my subconscious (which may be linked with other's consciousnesses-- heck, maybe everything! And maybe it doesn't have to be so "sub"!), or just the possibility of More. The bad stuff happens because, somehow, we're all o.k. with it. It is meant to be. It will lead to the greatness that is tomorrow (or maybe day after that). We are supposed to use that crap to learn, and make things better and whatever, probably. Not just for the kids, but for us, right now. Hmmm... but actually doing it? If it were so easy to do what we know we need to, we'd be there already. > >> And even that may be a beautiful illusion. >> >> Beauty. Hmm... >> >> *twinkly-eyed smiles* (smiles ROCK! (And are contagious, so look out!)) > > > Thats true too!! It is! And it's super-powerful. That deal about T.C.B.? It appears that it's easier when other people are doing it to. Take smiles-- I love 'em. You can use them to totally shift the dynamic of a room of hundreds. Probably thousands. Probably, it's infinite, but gets infinitely weak, or something like that. It's the good side of the mob mentality, I guess. Group think doesn't have to be used for evil, and it's actually better in the long run (IMHO) NOT to use it for evil. Good generally does pay out better in the end. Not to say that to be good, you have to be a "believer" or any crap like that, I guess I should mention, in case it comes off that way ever. Seeing as how I believe that everything happens for a reason, and everything is needed, and connected, and balanced, it's obvious that I believe that we need disbelievers. It's just fun to think about this, well, probably deepest question, you know? Are we alone? Or -- whoah -- Is "I" even singular? Eh, I love the idea of virally spreading peace, love, and good vibes and whatnot, mostly. Wish I actually did it more often. I know I should. [: It's all connected, even if I do a horrible job of it at times. -- Death may be the greatest of all human blessings.
