Default Re: Simplicity

Good reminder "fellow simultaneous self" Anchor (Trying to lure ol' Steve P over?).

I'm nearly fully on board with this analysis of our situation as being parts of a whole, experiencing infinite subjective realities. The part I have trouble with is (obviously) the muggers etc.. For now, I'm working with the sentiment in my signature, I can see that there are some very basic things that make us all the same, it's the them I have trouble relating to. I have to remind myself that there is always a path that has lead people to wherever they are, and although mitigating circumstances shouldn't be an excuse, it helps me to think that there is some order to the awful things that people do to each other in this world, not much, but some. And perhaps even, if we can trace the long chain of mistakes back to a source, we can 'fix it' in the future.

Good point, I read or heard this quote somewhere, can't remember now though, but it rings pretty true in my experience:

"The truth cannot be told. It must be realized."

....which is why I'm very optimistic about this part in the very near future....

Sounds beautiful when it comes together, like this....
