'here/now' you know... that is 'half' the answer to the question that is planted deep in your heart... planted there by spirit... from the beginning of time... the other half of the answer is in this question... 'here/now' that you know... what are you going to do about it?.... because if 'you' don't... it 'will be' some one else's 'will'... I can show you the 'how-to switch' but I can not turn it on for you... get it? If you didn't know... now you know. We are not our 'beliefs'... we are our 'experiences'... our 'beliefs' is the 'acting' part of the 'schtick'... what we 'do' is ourselves... what we get is what we do... not happy? What does this tell you? It says to me that 'neither' is anyone else. Spread the news... Lightening strikes 'fear' in the hearts of men.... Thunder 'moves' them..... Learn it now... learn it later... makes no difference..... Gentle Peace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I allowed myself to wear the "smoke screen" of wisdom, I would surely miss so much of my other odorous expressions. (chuckling) Welcome Collette!
