I don't believe that everything in my life has been predetermined. I hate the idea that I don't control my own life if every little thing has been plotted out for me. We're nothing more than a miserable race, stuck on a rock in space. If multiple dimensions and time travel can be proven, then I could change my mind. Until then, we're all one day closer to the grave.

someone's been reading
what's it this time, Pirandello? or perhaps
Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead? Or "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God" (Johnathan Edwards)? Or maybe Woody Allen's brilliant one-act,
God? tg

Stay out of the war, hell, I'd do my damnest to change the whole situation and prevent it if possible, would have found another less deadly way to end slavery and Booth wouldn't have shot Lincoln. shadow

shadow, as long as you can stay out of the war, then that
would be an okay time I guess. Do you have email, need to tell you something. Email me if you can.

Quirky,
Yeah, now time travel is a different story. I would love to go back to around 1850 and live the Civil War then take off and live the rest of my days with the plains Indians. shadow

Hi helene, actually re: your second and third sentences,
someone told me that this was in fact exactly true. Not quite sure how to comprehend it, but it was food for thought, esp. considering my source.

Do you know what?
Sometimes I feel like everything that happens is "De Ja Vu". What if everything that happened now, has happened before ages and ages ago? In the same sequence? And everything is repeating itself? Maybe, in the past, the world had self-destructed, and it's happening all again?
Oh, well. I'll have another cigarette and think about it.

Quirky HI,
Let's hope there is not another me in a parallel universe. Don't you know what kind of chaos would be. Good thoughts to think about. shadow

to mean or not to mean
Don't be so arrogant about human existence on this world. It might help to think about the Local Group and the Virgo Group. Our solar system is on the outer edges of the Milky Way, our home galaxy. The Milky Way is part of the Local Group, which is made up of some 38 other galaxies, and each galaxy has billions of suns and planets. The nearest galactic cluster to our Local Group is the Virgo Group, which is about 50 million light years away. So far, astronomers have counted over 2500 galaxies in the Virgo Group! And each of those galaxies has billions of suns and planets. I believe this helps put into perspective our personal doubts and worries. Is all this blogging of cosmic importance?

katray, most of the things I DO know would not be what *most* of these
beings called "humans" would readily accept, so it's best to remain silent.

katray, thanks so much for your wonderful comment. I would say that I
agree with most everything you've articulated. However, sometimes I just have questions but no real idea what the answers are. And sometimes an experience will come along to tell me that what I THOUGHT was an answer, might not be it after all. That's what most of these questions are for me.

Hi Hannah B, fellow student! Yes, it is a nice comfort. 
And Quirky, is this what you are speaking of, or something else?

Ooh, makes my head hurt!
Great questions/ponderings. I agree with Katray about reincarnation and choices and lessons learned (or not) in each lifetime. I actually find that comforting.

hmm, fascinating thoughts Quirky
Do you know??
I believe in the basic theory of reincarnation; that our souls are life forces created by God and striving to perfect by earthly "lessons"...I think we arrive here with a pre-planned agenda, but often we forget...because of this, what we needed to learn is not accomplished and we have to decide whether to continue or start all over again. My view, based on experiences and feelings.

Welcome to my life!
These are thoughts that I have every single day. Like almost an obsessive compulsive thought process. I always wonder why I can't think about normal things. Glad to know someone else out there is wondering too!
