re: the stock market, It sounds like it may be an ongoing challenge for you, but not for me my friend. Seems like something for someone who wants to get out of their own skin, if I had to guess. The stuff I work on is for my growth and knowledge, so should there be a time when I need to predict stocks in order to learn something I suppose I'll give it a shot. Until then, I just enjoy sharing what I find out. As for hearing lobsters scream, there is a level of intense pain for all of the world that is easy to tap into if you so choose, too easy really, but I warn you the suffering accessed is immense, and can be overwhelming. If you need to go there, it is possible, though not much to learn imo. I've been there a couple of times in dreams; predicted the iraq war thing, and visited various levels of hell. :-) > On Next, this is based on a novel or short story by the SCI-FI > genius Philip Dick.

Sounds like elements of the movies "Sliding Doors" with Gwenyth (sp) Paltrow, The Family Man a la Nicky, Groundhog Day w/Bill Murray, and Multiplicity with Michael Keaton. I'll definitely rent it out. :-)
