"Maybe each having given so much blood as to despise the thought of sharing an ounce of hemoglobin, coming up against the briars and thickets, as if something were to be forever lost in the searching. "
I don't find the bleeding or sacrifice or pain of crawling through thickets a necessary part of the search anymore, and have noticed others in here have given it up as well, with the notions of opinion conquest, purgation or evidentiary proof. I have, over the years, seen the culture of ME bubble into war and then settle back down into something more peaceful and conducive to self exploration through group dynamic. I have also seen members loosen their grip on the views they hold tight and watch those views open and the language that explains them change. It is a wonderful thing. I include myself in this of course. I don't find a benevolent God in my life, I find that I am not separate from God, or my experience, or others AND, paradoxically, I AM Molly, an individual. Thus, I am eternal and infinite, also finite and time limited. A design as mysterious as time itself. Once in awhile, in my own confusion, I can't see past the finite aspects of myself, forget that my placement in that unity and paradox is what brings the design's revelations into my experience. Happily, that doesn't last too long anymore, and has become the exception, not the rule. If there are aliens, they are a part of me I have not yet recognized, and so, have no view or experience of them to share. Still waiting. But I am not going to hold my breath because perhaps, just maybe, if nothing is alien, the notion is irrelevant.
