Fractalic Awakening is a self published novel.

The consensus probably is not good. No creditable information is to be found.

Here is a short video that I found quite amazing in explaining how the different dimensions work.

No it is someone imagination of what 10 dimensions would be like.

Here is the flaw, if we have language or thoughts then it is not what is unknown. The other dimensions if true will be beyond our ability to imagine in this time frame. Calling infinity a point is an abstraction just as using a Greek letter in an equation. The nature of infinity is as illusive as God.

The last time was this moment as I push these keys talking to a fairy.

Hi lisagurl, "hee hee" Tanks. I love fairies, I got them all around the house. Well I never checked for the validity of the two posts, I took them at face value and you would be surprised what has come from the imagination and later a few months or even a few years it comes out in the news papers, TV and radio that what was once something that came out as fantasy or imagination is now a proven fact by scientific researchers. I myself have envisioned different things but I don't make it a habit of just telling any one out there about it. It's just such a wonderful rush though when someone validates it into reality when it only existed in my mind to start with. That's almost as neat as though I had proven it myself. I love validations, I could easily live  for validations.

My soul mate and I share a lot of stuff like that back and forth and she is amazed when one of my theories get validated. Well ya see she was skeptical about such things when I met here but now she has become acclimatized to what comes out of my imagination.

If nothing else, including the fantasy one, is also a good way to take a break from this reality for a while. My Soul mate and I often just go cruising around with our Jeep Charekee and a good supply of Tim Horton's coffee and just talk about anything that pops in our minds, and just to say that two years ago she was a total skeptic about such things. That has changed much as I spin my web of potentiality for her to observe and feel it. Even more astonished when I impart healing energy from The Force to heal her of migraines.

Lisagurl, you said, "Before I can believe or bet my life on something I need to understand more than most people will need accept to feel comfortable."  Yes, I'm the same.  As we've discussed earlier in this post, people like Pres. Bush believe in black and white.  Unfortunately, life can be a lot more complicated.

Wikepedia:  "Fantasy is a genre that uses magic and other supernatural forms as a primary element of plot, theme, and/or setting. The genre is generally distinguished from science fiction and horror by overall look, feel, and theme of the individual work, though there is a great deal of overlap between the three (collectively known as speculative fiction). In its broadest sense, fantasy comprises works by many writers, artists, filmmakers, and musicians, from ancient myths and legends to many recent works embraced by a wide audience today."

I know that fantasy can be fun (a la Disney) - the world Cindy described in her story was pretty and wonderful.  I have no objection to this kind of fantasy.  I do, however, dislike myths and legends that feel like religion - something you, in the old days, society forced you to believe under threat that, unless you did that, you would be burned.  Churches presumably threw out the Old Testament because, surprise of all surprises, it's made up of unbelievable bigotted narcissistic sado-masochistic stories.  Oh, I guess there are a few nice stories and morals here and there.  And I admit that I have a bias against traditions.  When I see Discovery documentaries showing the vile practices of some primitive people, I think, "How far have we really come?"  When Catholics wear or don't wear head coverings, I wonder why can they still be doing such things?  What is this incense pot being waved around as the priest walks up the aisle?  Because of some tradition or something written in a book?!  Even worse, of course, are those who mis-apply supposed "teachings" to torture or sodomize others.  The goodness of the mystical world has been tarnished, in my opinion, by horrid byproducts of "belief."  The Stephen King novels that I prefer are realistic ones like "Misery."  Fantasies that I prefer are things like "Snow White", "Cinderella," and "Pinochio."  Though these movies are dark and full of tension, they are not threatening, "believe this or perish!"

I saw a documentary recently that a planet crashed into earth and became our moon.  Talk about fantastic!

[cindybc]

Hi Teri
I have had this fascination with planet Mars that started way back when I was a little kid. I use to draw pictures of what it looked like with oceans, lakes, rivers, trees the whole nine yards. I really believed there was life there but when they sent the first probe there that made it into orbit successfully and sent pictures back, poor quality pictures at that, NASA announced that it was a dry dead planet, like the moon, complete with craters all over the place.

I remember being so disappointed, but I didn't give up hope and I continued picturing and fantasizing it in my head as a planet that still held life. Then NASA sent another probe that returned back pictures that look way more promising, like dried up rivers and fluvial fans at the end of some rivers. Something that really caught my eyes was "clouds" there were clouds and then they showed the two poles which were convincingly made of ice, very thick ice.

But then it was said that the planet was still very arid and dead. Then there was the next probe that showed the Cydonia area where the face was, how exciting the possibility that intelligent beings may have actually have inhabited Mars at one time.  I believe I have every photo ever released by NASA stored in my photos here in my hard drive.

And now out comes HIRISE with the best quality satellite camera ever built, powerful enough to pick out one of the rovers and it's tracks in the sand. One of those rovers are no bigger then a pregnant golf cart. With this wonderful piece of modern technology they have found glaciers that still exist covered over by dust. Frozen lakes in some of the craters and even an entire ice flow field, like in a large body of water. And those channels on the sides of crater walls, how amazing.

There is enough evidence there now that even NASA had to admit that Mars was once a water world.  That little planet is coming up with new discoveries and surprises every day. What I believed when I was a kid is more true now then ever.

As for fantasy stories I believe I watched every children's story that I could get my hands on, even all the way back whene I would sit with the kids I had in my care and watch the movies with them.

I have 6 children's fantasy books that I have written myself. The type of fantasy you mentioned you liked, is there any other? But I also dream and sometimes the things I dreamed or envisioned just happen to come true. 

Reality sucks, but it helps when one can just dress it up some. Like with some curtains complete with the ruffles around the edges, you know like the kind your mom use to decorate the windows with back in the 50's. Now add colors lots of colors and sparkles. Flowers, oh my yes, flowers are a must. The table covered with a brightly decorated table cloth with one of those fancy dandy tea pots on it, and matching cups. You sit and let you mind drift to pleasant memories for a few minuets until you are brought back from your daydreaming when the water in the kettle on the wood stove begins to steep.

All this world needs now is Love. Lots and lots of love. Love is the greatest and most powerful magic a person can have.

Close your eyes and make a wish.

Posted on: September 23, 2007, 10:14:12 PMThe priest and the incense pot if I remember correctly, the incense was presented as a vehicle to send prayers to God

The North American natives "Primitives?" depending on how an individual looks at it I suppose. Every individual has a different conception of what they discern from the same observation.  I am of mixed blood Ojibwa and French. When I was on the res. I attended certain ceremonies and we used  smoldering sweet grass to send messages to Great Spirit for our deceased, members of the family and our ancestors which they believed went to different spiritual levels of existence.

Happy hunting grounds and the degrading label of squaw for native women, *Neshnobequa* in Ojibwa for woman, both were an invention of the colonial Europeans  which ironically happy hunting ground turns out to be  somewhat of an accurate description. For the warrior or hunter the days being out in the wilderness were good memories of once having been free to roam and connect with the spirit of nature, thus the happy hunting grounds 

When the hunter brought back supper we had a small ceremonie to thank the soul of the beast for supplying us with sustenance. To this day these ceremonies are  still being held,  and every part of the beast is used for something nothing was wasted. If there was any remains left they were returned to mother earth.   

I don't follow any religion but I have respects for the Native faith. After all I lived among them on one reservation or another for nearly ten years.
Native women love to laugh. Native people have an active Id as well kind of impish.

Posted on: September 24, 2007, 05:14:09 AMHi lisagurl

Here it is nearly 5:00am and don't feel like sleeping. I may just skip sleeping.
Any way It has just dawned on me how ridged you are with how you see things. Did someone  draw a line across the cosmos somewhere that says do not cross this yellow line lest you get shot at dawn by firing squad?? Do you really believe that all there is this reality or the temporal? Only what you believe is real? Or only what you can discern with your five senses? That scares me to just think if I had to live like that. Like my extra sensitivities were to just go "POOF!"

If all there was is what we can can perceive with the five senses I would wither and die of bordem and loneliness. I may have problems with spelling and make type o's but I do have a complex mind if I wished or have to use it. And my soul mate and I do it a lot. I love Teri Anne for that, I love expanding my horizons in possibilities.  I might be a country hick but I am quite cerebrally active. I Love to dream and fantasise. It's quite amazing sometimes what you can catch with a butterfly net in the land of imagination. Ridgedged and limited thought I could swear was invented to prevent one from straying to far past the limited lines that the community of they and those with doctoral degrees in science. Don't dare go beyond what is beyond the books, goodness forbid, I may bring back a fire eating dragon with me. I love letting my mind drift out there to explore what ever new world of my own creation. Anybody could do that if they really wanted to. To the world out there they see a kind of timid and rather shy lady getting up in years. Don't pay her no mind, she's a little loose between the ears.

I am certainly not confrontational, nor am I loud or aggressive. Most of the time I'm in my own space. You see the hormones didn't change what was inside, all it did is altered the outside to fit with the inside. Once I get to know someone I can be quite chatty. My senses have become more attuned to little things and I find that tears can flow much easier. But I love who I am and I don't intend to change one subatomic particle of me. I am who I am. The only thing I may change is my panties. 

Tell me something, do you know how to laugh? I love laughing, it like a tonic for the soul   

[lisagurl]

 

I am not a person of many words. Wallace Stevens said that fantasy satisfies the imagination and truth satisfies the philosopher, poetry provides truth and imagination so it helps us to live.

I do laugh at how people sometimes think that life is not their responsibility. Why would you think that everyone enjoys what you do? It is much more enjoyable to me to understand something than just make believe. As a child I did not enjoy fairy tales because my imagination was far better than those silly stories. I wrote a small book then called "Scouting on Mars" much better then the cow that jumped over the moon.

By now you probably know you are talking to an ex engineer/manager. I got spoiled by seeing too many of my ideas come to life. I also learned that you do not need money or consumption to be happy. I live near a national park so no need to get into my car to enjoy what nature has unveiled for us. I grow and cook most meals as I also go to the farmers market. I could travel the world if I wanted but that does not interest me, for last year I was in Thailand and was glad to be home. My partner is studying Latin and writes poetry about our lives. My children are in college one wants to be a vet. The local dogs walk with me like the piped piper. The humming birds eat the bugs from my flowers. Why should I have to imagine only what's in my mind when I can have the senses too? Living in the now has its rewards as does understanding the future that you can mold.

[cindybc]

Hi lisagurl

Well I wasn't an engineer, came close to it, I graduated college with an Architectural and mechanical designing certificate. I designed and drew blueprints and helped build homes. Small stuff compared to what you did I suppose. I also drew up the plans and designed fiberglass Ferrari body replicas to alter Fieros to look like Ferrari. I also designed and built a full size model of the armored body for a hummer like vehicle. Every part of the body was triangular shaped not any part  of the surface was flat, and it was made of  1" thick Kevlar. I got riped off on all those deals probably on the account of my timidness, I wouldn't dare say anything in in my defense. Well that was OK shortly after I discovered I was bipolar and was put on disability.

It was around this time that I found out about gender Dysphoria. After I got off on disability I enjoyed doing art and writing stories and as I have mentioned before creating stuff out of my own mind and putting it on paper or on canvas. This was good therapy for me to keep myself centered and my mind pliable with imagination and read tons of books especially on North American Native spirituality and nearly anything in the way of literature on the sciences.  If it weren't for imagination I doubt I would have made it this far, probably crawled under a stump in the woods and just drift off.

I love animals and children and yes they are attracted to me when I walk by. I have seen me in a shopping mall in a McDonald's on different occasions with a congregation o children standing around while I tell them stories.

Not just animals and children but some of the folks walking by sometimes stopping to make some small talk. I loved the town where I came from in Ontario they were the friendliest people I had ever met. I still feel lost at times here in the suburbs of Vancouver but I am beginning to adapt to the people here. As for nature I guess that is what I miss the most.

As for molding the future I just do what ever needs to be done each day and try to live for the moment, for all we truly have right at this moment is one heart beat in eternity. The next heart beat may never come.

Hi Lisagurl
It sounds interesting but I don't do old English to well.

Hi Teri, where are you hon? I doubt we have used up all of the fields of science that branch out from the big bang theory. I also really don't think we need to stick to proven fact because that would only serve to narrow this subject down way to much. I think it's good to make out own theories, good exercise for the mind and there are so many different possibilities and potentials that can be discussed.

Hope you get back soon. Missin you

Cindy
   

[Teri Anne]

Cindy, thanks for missing me.  I sometimes pare down my computer use because I worry if I'm spending too much time online and whether I should be spending more time in the real world.  Also, I have had friends online and have had them disappear:  I had a really good TS friend online from 1999 to 2000.  I thought we were like sisters.  We talked of transitioning, the operations, our troubled relationships.  Then, one day, I never heard from her again.  Nothing traumatic had happened between us.  It's still a mystery to me.  I have some concerns that a person she moved in with (someone I thought seemed suspicious - he had some kind of small crime in his background).  Perhaps she sensed my suspicions and didn't want to be bothered with me.

But it's no reason to avoid discussing things online.  On the one hand, every conversation - online or not - is part of living and to be cherished.  There is a person at the other end.  It is important in that moment in time because, as we've discussed, I like stretching both my imagination and my grasp of scientific knowledge.  Reality would be a good place to do that except that I do not have friends, in real life, that enjoy that search as you and Lisagurl do.

Cindy, your native Indian background sounds interesting.  Yes, I've heard and read of the Berdeches.  It gives me hope that my ability to see both male and female sides of situations may actually have a purpose in society.  Both males and females do have the tendency to act silly from time to time; males with their bravado and hiding pain and females with their worry-churning and addiction to labeling anything attractive as being "cute" (is there no other descriptive word in their grasp?).

I understand your fascination with Mars.  I think I heard that the next Mars lander will drill into the soil to try to find evidence of water.  I guess I'm more interested in the big picture -- how all the planets ended up different (why didn't some comet bring enough ice to mars so that oceans would still exist?), and the galaxies, universe and beyond...  There's so much scientists have yet to discover.  Btw - I read recently that Google used to, as you zoomed into the moon, turn it into cheese.  It'd also be funny if, as you zoomed in, you were suddenly looking into a big eye or mouth!

Lisagurl, your life seems idylic - raising food, living near a national park.  I sometimes wonder what it'd be like to live away from cities, away from people.  There's a part of me that really enjoys nature but, of course, nature can be harsh, even life-threatening.  And, perhaps, much as I say I love nature, I know I'd miss my close friends.  I think you're living for-the-moment in a sensual way is wonderful.  Thank you for sharing.

Cindy, I loved Vancouver the many times I visited it.  You both live in wonderful areas.  I never studied architecture in school but have read a lot of architecture books (most of my books are architecture books).  I also started a nonprofit group with the goal of building Frank Lloyd Wright houses in Los Angeles.  I did architectural video documentaries of houses our group would tour.  I still have dreams of someday designing my own house (I have many sketches and floor plans, lol).  Lately, though, I've really enjoyed sailing and so daydream about selling my house and living on a sailboat.  Fantasy or daydream?  I'm not really sure yet!

Teri Anne

[cindybc]

Hi Teri
Just want to say that I pray that we do become good friends. Being not that far away is not impossible for us to get together. I believe there is much we could learn from one another and just plain share what ever stuff together. As far as disappearing, I don't really think that's going to happen any time soon unless I get abducted by aliens. I would say so if I was going away any time soon.

Ya I had that happen to me to, meet some really nice folks online then they disappear and I can only pray that they left because they got what they needed on the groups and found other interests to follow up on. I have one girl, her name is Taye, we had a parting that was kind of like, on the wrong note some time back, but I ran into her on another group a couple months ago. She is really having a hard time getting over what her dad did to her when she was a kid. At least we had something in common, I to was abused and forced upon to have sex by my ex. Well I am only 5' 3" and 115 lbs and certainly there was not much of any resistance, she out weight me by at least 50 or 60 lbs. and she was aggressive and I was not.

So Taye and I had something incommon. So when she has a problem she comes to me, I don't mind I been a rescuer from all the way back when I was a little kid. Taye lives in Alberta, not an impossible distance from here ether.

I don't have many friends out there and the ones that I did were GG's. I have one really wonderful lady friend I met when I was on Long Island NY. She is an empath the same as I. We still correspond now and again by email. I haven't made any friends her yet either. It takes me a while to adjust to the new vibes from the people when I move to a new place. I do go out though when ever my Soul Mate needs to go somewhere. I never looked to have lots of friends. I'll post more a little later, sighing in relief, glad to see you back hon.

Cindy
         

Posted on: September 26, 2007, 05:04:21 AMOk I am back
Ya the native back ground was on my mom's side, she was a really wonderful lady, she has passed away 25 years ago now. Cheez once the years are into the double diggets it's kind of hard to remember just exactly how many years it was since what ever past event. Growing up we lived on a wonderful 45 acre piece of property with a thousand foot lake front two large cottages and the main house on top of the hill. It was only five miles from the rez and I was there more soften then I was at home. The kids there accepted me.

After my Mom and Dad both passed away and the property was sold I moved unto the rez and lived there for close on to ten years. I then left and did the gypsy thing and traveled the eastern half of both US and Canada with my truck and camper, stopping only long enough to get work and collect enough money and moved on again. I was searching for something, maybe where people lived a lifestyle that would approximate where I lived when I was a kid. Maybe it was more then that, but anyway I came back home and got a Job in another town, I had no desire to go back to my home town. Any way, it wouldn't be until ten years later when once again I moved to another town and this was where I discovered what the word transsexual meant, but it wasn't until another couple of years before I began the transitioning journey. 

Berdeche means one who is of two spirits and were considered to have great medicine and usually were given the position of shaman. I attended many pow wows and learned more about the medicine dances and the spiritual healing and cleansings with sweet grass or sage. I had also attended many of the ceremonies they had on the res and discovered where there was a lot in the ceremonies at Pow wows are purposely left out because they were considered sacred and not to be shared anywhere else except among the people on the rez. When I was a kid we use to go to this elder ladies house where she would tell us about the history of the ancestors and also some short stories about the spirits. All stuff I thought at the time that were just nice entertaining stories for children,.I found out later that all that was spoken by this elderly lady were quite true.

So needless to say that from this experience we should count ourself so very fortunate to have walked the two paths and come to understand both as well.  I would say that it should make us much more understanding of both genders and ourselves. Two Spirits. I really thought about this, that during my twenty years working as a Social Worker, it was a gift just as much as being an empath. But back before I knew all this I knew there was battle within, one side against the other and that created a very serious set of problems for me.

Oh goodness how I do miss living in a small town where there is a lot of woods around. Just before I went full time I use to live in an apartment building where the woods were immediately at the back of the building. There were a lo fo time there where I use to dress up and put my male clothes over top and walk down the hill into the woods below. I would take my male clothes off and played out my fantasies, a princes, a fairy, or just a lady walking down the path that lead down to the beach to await for my prince who was coming for me in his yacht. And just dance around on the beach in the full moon until my head was spinning and would sit on the ground abruptly and laugh until I had tears running down my cheeks, then cry in earnest, wondering if I would ever be the one that was locked up inside.

I would like to get a house boat,  big one an just set course from the town I lived and just cruise the lower great lakes and go through the locks that connect to the Mississippi river and just continue cruising all the way down to the Gulf of Mexico, "wow!" now that is what I would call an adventure.       

 

           

Posted on: September 26, 2007, 06:19:55 AMHi Teri I know that sometimes I get carried away and write a book, hope you didn't fall asleep reading my last post. If it's the aliens don't forget to tell them where I live. 
Maybe they'll let me pilot their ship.

Cindy

[Teri Anne]

Hi Cindy,
Thanks for the kind words.  Over time, hopefully we will one day meet.  I recall I used to tell online friends that distance would, unfortunately, dictate not getting together much.  It's kind of hard to be close friends with someone out of state or out of the country.  Oh, well.

Don't worry about the lengths of your posts.  I tend to create longer than normal posts, too.  I am not really suited for the internet where many post short answers.  When I've gone to chat rooms, it's even worse.  People like to use letters like ROFL and other acronyms like we're messaging on a cellphone.  I've yet to hear anything online that's made me ROFL, LOL.

You have an interesting childhood.  I'm afraid mine was the ordinary life of a kid in the Southern Calif. suburbs.  My parents, while very educated, didn't talk a lot and certainly didn't tell me stories like the elder ladies did for you.

Your past travel was ambitious.  I travelled alone by train for six weeks across the country and back -- I enjoyed it but did long for a slower pace of travel.  Every time I landed in a town, I dumped my suitcase into the first inexpensive hotel and toured the town (I only spent one to four days in each town).

Your wish of going down the Mississippi reminds me of times I had as a kid reading Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn.  I, too, longed to go down the Mississippi.  I guess that dream has been replaced by my dream of travelling and living full time on a sailboat.  A favorite book of mine is "Maiden Voyage," the true-story of a teenage girl who travels around the world in a 26 foot sailboat.  If I ever get the boat, I will, of course, be sailing up to Vancouver and hopefully beyond.

Teri Anne

[cindybc]

Hi Teri
"Hee, Hee,"  Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn. those were some of my favorites when I was a kid, also Little Mermaid, Radio Flyer, Fantasia, Parent Trap, Golden Child, A Never Ending Story, just off the top of my head and a whole lot of other children's stories. For that mater I still love watching children's movies. After I met my Soul Mate I introduced her to the world of magic and adventure out of stories for children. She had never let her mind wonder into fantasy, or the potentialities before. I suppose that also helped her learn more about who I am. I even wrote some books but, unfortunately, they never made it to the publishers desk. I still like fantasising, I guess I Just love creating stories from imagination.

I even have a program downloaded on my hardrive for meditation where the theme is based on a fantasy background. I am a hopeless romantic, a use to be hippy, and of the mixed blood French/Iroquois, a recovering alcoholic, and by the standards of some when I was younger I have been called weird, or a witch. So that made me pretty well alienated by others. But since I have transitioned people have seen me from a different perspective, a positive one at that. Now how weird can that be huh?  presently I am a big kid who wants to grow up to be a fairy. 

My soul mate didn't have a very nice childhood and that saddens me when I hear such things. Every one should be entitled in having a childhood. Anyway I share my childhood with my soul mate and out of parts of her childhood and mine we recreated a new childhood with two imaginary characters, one we named Red and the other Lefty. It sure filled many of our winter nights reliving new childhoods on the web. That was our made up world until I went down to the US to meet up with here in person. 

And for meeting up with you as close to Seattle as we are it wouldn't be a big deal. I have driven farther then that just to go urinate.  I am just grateful we  have met and I liked you from post #1
Almost forgot, I am also going to be having meetups in Seattle in the not to distant future. I know your not to interested in Spirituality and metaphysics but I have a meetup group in Seattle this is one I set up with a different twist to it . Here is the link if you wish to take a peek.  http://spirituality.meetup.com/141/

As for chatrooms I really don't care for them because I'm a slow typist and don't do to well keeping up with them. I mean my post ends up looking like an alien from Betelgeuse typed it out. I to prefer the boards.  I might be flexible in almost any topic being discussed, but there are times when the light bulb in the attic just refuses to light up. When I get like that I just read and move on until the light of inspiration in the attic comes on again.

But I am usually quite flexible with my thoughts, feelings and insights. Some people just get too dang rigid in their thoughts and beliefs.  But I am happy to see that most people on here don't downright get aggressive swinging catfish and trouts at each other and making a general pain in the butt of themselves. I have seen that way to often mess up a board really good. But then I have only been on a few threads, those that I had an interest in.

Well I guess I only wrote half a book this time. I'll be back later to write the rest of it.

Have a wonderful day.

As much as I have read about imagination and reality I think people imagine how imagination and reality work then use their memory to explain it.  Then there is Art. Add a little beliefs and a human is formed.

[cindybc]

It takes imagination, determination, and faith in yourself in order to bring about a thought into reality, and, of course, every idea ever devised in one's mind is stored in either the conscious memory or the subconscious memory.

Every thought since birth is stored in the subconscious mind. Maybe much more, if one believes in reincarnation, which is not really all that far-fetched if you take into consideration that some of our more primitive genetic strands are still inactive but still much alive and are still connected to man/woman #1. The entire history of your ancestors is stored in those genetic strands.  What was before that? Was there once a prehuman era? Or are we the star children like the ancient Ojibwa legends tell it, as plentiful as the stars themselves.

It takes imagination, determination, and faith in yourself in order to bring about a thought into reality, and, of course, every idea ever devised in one's mind is stored in either the conscious memory or the subconscious memory.

Exceptions.

Your own reality is your perception. A consensus reality is a matter of agreement and probability. Memories are faulty and massaged by perceptions. "There is no good or bad only if you think it."

To control the future requires faith in probability and determination. You need imagination and emotion to reason, otherwise there is no will to make a decision.

[cindybc]

Hi  lisagurl

Of course, if each individual, let us say were able o travel back through the consciousness of our DNA strands to a previously picked out location and certain setting that would truly appear to be alien to us everyone would have a different perception as  to what they experienced  and saw there. 

Yes a decision or otherwise ingenious thought is oft spontaneous. For a short time liken from out of the blue, where there is no doubt in the depths of self knowing and the self realisation, you are left with no doubt whatsoever. You know with certainty that it's the right answer you had been seeking. Good and fine as long as you don't waste any time applying this new found knowledge as a certain solution to the task, or a probable proposition that may be the answer for question at hand.

Document well your insight before it gets gone. 
*Before* the debating community of the busy mind of any of us humans takes over and scatters a rather otherwise perfectly solid, wise and or ingenious train of thoughts. One should record these ideas then and there, before the answer  is rendered asunder by the debating community and spread about by the cosmic wind in the void of flawed human mind ,
The end product is a box of loose parts that don't fit to anything.

Yes a decision or otherwise ingenious thought is oft spontaneous. For a short time liken from out of the blue, where there is no doubt in the depths of self knowing and the self realisation, you are left with no doubt whatsoever. You know with certainty that it's the right answer you had been seeking. Good and fine as long as you don't waste any time applying this new found knowledge as a certain solution to the task, or a probable proposition that may be the answer for question at hand.

Everything is in doubt, nothing is absolute that is where probability comes in.  Life is but a bunch of chances.

Hi lisagurl, quite right. This reality is an illusion, like an immense holodeck made up of a complex grid work or matrix where time and space overlaps into the interdimensional space and realities that are ad infinitum,

Like playing an intergalactic chess game.

Hi Cindy and Lisa,
Sorry I've been absent for a few days - I've been working hard trying to create an iMovie slide show with music for my ex (she and her hubby took a Princess cruise).  While Mac programs are supposidly simple it's like the Honda ads that claimed that Hondas were simple and yet had two carburators in a time most cars only had one.  So much for simplicity.

As to complexity, I agree with Lisa, also, when she said, "Everything is in doubt, nothing is absolute that is where probability comes in.  Life is but a bunch of chances."

The best drama writers, in my opinion, are the ones who don't write in black and white.  While I am a pro-choice person on abortion, I can understand why others believe abortion is wrong.  Being a civil-libertarian of sorts (not hard-line), I feel that people are entitled to their own choices and feelings without my sticking my nose into their business.

In a hopefully non-confrontational way, I sometimes pose my feelings about, say, reincarnation.  I neither believe nor disbelieve any "faiths" or beliefs.  I suppose, if you think that we have souls (I'm not convinced), then maybe these souls have to go somewhere.  One way to look at reincarnation, though, would be that our "souls" don't reincarnate, just our chemical and molecular makeup gets absorbed by the earth to turn into something else.  If you are an apple or an animal, as YOU are eaten by an animal, you BECOME part of that animal.  There's a great scene near the end of the movie "Phenomenon" which poses that natural occurance.  In the far East, Monks sometimes go out to die in a field, knowing their bodies will be eaten by animals -- life moves on...

There's a part of me that thinks of reincarnation or heaven but I sometimes wonder about what happens with someone with a tortured past  (for example, the PTSD I've had to survive due to my own war, transsexualism).  Does part of that torture get carried on into this mythical new life?  Do the millions of men who faced PTSD from World Wars have to KEEP remembering these horrors, albeit in a new form, be it spiritual or ghostly?  If one were to believe horror stories like Excorcist, there are a lot of horrors that do, indeed, get CARRIED by the spirit into this new vaporous existance we've labeled "souls."  The Bible seems to infer a happy afterlife but I, being a suspicious type, know that they wouldn't "sell" many books if they promised anything other than, well, "heaven."

I'd like to think that I'd do it better next time but, if it's like a lot of time travel into the past movies, you end up making the same mistakes.  Better, maybe, to be a majestic oak on a peaceful seashore.  If I was hungry, my roots would provide me with sustenance without killing (the usual lot of animals).

A gentle breeze would blow against my "body."  Sometimes children would climb up my arms in play or lovers would sit, taking a break from the stresses of their lives, to share some peace.  With me.
