Your experience of who/what is in charge of them, plus your *preference* as to which of those to base your life in the relative on. *Especially* if your experience is that *both* "in charge" and "not in charge" are your experience, *simultaneously*. Then it becomes all about *both* of these things being true, from their respective states of attention, and the only issue is which one you choose to focus on. Focus and using it is a remarkable tool of self discovery. Doonesbury makes a great comment about it in todays strip at: http://www.doonesbury.com/strip/dailydose/index.html? uc_full_date=20060219 In my opinion, it's all about preference -- which of the many congruent and simultaneously manifesting "realities" you choose to focus on. My preference is to focus on the one that seems the most productive at the time. Most of the time, that's the one in which I get to make the decisions myself and take the responsibility for those decisions myself. If you prefer a different focus, that's your preference. But IMO it's nothing more *than* preference. ------------------------ Yahoo!
