yea, a couple points your post made me think of was
1. Are you familiar with Dr. Mazaru Emotos [pioneering research]work in the photography of water crystal formations and the effect "thought" apparent has on them?
2. Patrick Swayzee's been in the news lately. I remember a movie "Dead Presidents" that had a lot of philosophical undertones/overtones in it, none that came immediately to mind, just curious is maybe you caught it. If I recall, it was pretty good.
3. All our sufferings come from that first step of mis-identification. It's so subtle when we think how long we've taken to condition ourselves away from what was self-evident, at the time, now long, long ago. I sometimes feel like life has just been a witnessing event for me, and I wasn't really in it, I thought I was at one time, couldn't have convinced me otherwise as a matter of fact, now, . . . .
things are different, thats all.
ps
when I was growing up, it took a long time for me to figure out who I actually was.
Then, in later years, to find out about our mistaken identities, do it all over again, I thought I had that already figured out! damn-it. lol
