Well...I think the whole Universe is, in a sense, a single sentient being, and that's it's all interrelating with itself in billions of ways all the time...like the cells in your body do.

So your theory holds a certain amount of water, Daylia.

People generally get what they expect, according to their beliefs. Accordingly, you all get...or at least perceive...pretty much what you have decided to.

That means that everyone gets to enjoy being "right" almost constantly, which should be a great comfort to those of you who WANT to be right, shouldn't it? ;-)

Modern physicists are now suggesting that the conscious expectations of a person conducting an experiment will affect the results of experiment, right down to the subatomic level. That's another way of saying what I am saying. Then there are the subconscious expectations of the person, which may sometimes conflict radically with their conscious ones. For instance, they may consciously want to win the jackpot when they go to the casino, but they may subconsciously believe that "I can never win, because the world's just not fair to me." Accordingly, they lose. Again and again and again...but they keep coming back, because their conscious mind is not in sync with their unconscious beliefs about themselves and life. That's what I call a sad situation, and it's a very common one.

Yes, Daylia, I think you were generously gifted with an intelligent response from an intelligent Universe...just because your own consciousness was in sync at that time with the rest of the System. In other words, that shooting star was on its way already, regardless, and your spontaneous expression of love was perfectly meshed into the overall pattern of ongoing reality. That's how it works. Nothing exists in isolation...EXCEPT the human ego, which has brought about its own isolation from life because it isn't real. It just thinks it's real. It's an artificial mind construct. Your body is real, your soul is real, your ego is not. It's a part in a play that you made up.

I also think that Wolfgang secretly wears frilly underwear with little pink flowers on it (that's a joke), and that he will totally disagree with me and vehemently deny my assertions. He's right in his world of thought, and I'm right in mine, and there's nothing either one of us can do about it.

Didn't Dylan say that once?
