v: I know about mind over matter & that thoughts are things - but do these
revelations include devoted precognition that accidents *do* happen, so as
we might ready ourselves by disbelieving in the possibility that an
accident might happen to us at any given second??
I thought this was called *paranoia*, <grin>
one little detail I didn't mention in the post describing my experience
with the truck, was that the first 2 accidents came at a time when I had
been burning the candles at both ends between work & FT school & single
parenting, & both events were the very first time I had an opportunity to
get away from the grind & the city & go on a nice relaxxing *outing* on a
nice day! (some fun...) - the third rear ending on Halloween night being
the only one where I was driving, & was merely being rear ended by a drunk,
in the sideways rain, at a light by my house.
You know - it's awesome & very bizarre - but there really does seem some
bigger pattern that cannot be comprehended upon by our (my) puny 10% mental
faculties...hmmm...
oh yeah! I also came within inches of being rear-ended by a smaller
truck, out the road, by the mill, even when I returned up here! About 1996
-97 -
I was to catch a flight out to Anchorage, & a friend was driving me out
to my trailer to pick up my luggage.
It was just past a sorta hair pin turn, & some yeeha in the truck in
front of us had come to a complete stop in the middle of the road, because
some empty boxes had blown out of the back. So, he was just stopping
traffic, & so it was no surprise anymore to my nerves when suddenly the
squealing of rubber &we looked to watch another smaller truck behind us
doing cookies & ending up parallel across both lanes. Meanwhile, the truck
coming from the incoming lane ALSO had to slam his brakes & burning rubber
& skidding within inches of the skidded truck behind us. (btw - my
galfriend & i were in like a small aluminum japanese type fuel efficient
car - designed to *crush* people like an accordion, with no airbags or
anything!).
The bizarre part came when we realized that the truck in the incoming
lane was driven by the ex- & father of her child - a guy named David. So -
that was weird for her! But t was even weirder for me - & can't keep up
whose connections are whose! (kinda like that old song about "I just walked
in to see what condition my condition was in..."; anybody remember that?

v: yeah - & I can't count on just one hand the times I've just had to
accept the status quo - NOT comprehending why things were unfolding in a
particular unwelcome (to me) pattern, or how it fit in with anything I
knew. I just had to let myself be & have faith that it was just another
thread within the big tapestry of all of life. Like when we only focus on
the thread, & try to worry it into what we want from it, we can't see
anything beyond the thread, like the marvelous weaving of all of lives &
times (akashic?) from the distance required. These are times when blind
faith is neccesary, & even temporary suffering must serve it's purpose when
seen within the bigger tapestry, or retroactively.

v: we would miss the *bigger picture* - &/or the tapestry woven for all
time, only seen from a distance.
you know - i am getting a message that this detached attitude could also
be helpful to the people on here who have recently written about feeling
helpless to change another loved one's behaviour. To be still & know that
we are God, yet required to also "let go & let God". I don't exactly think
that it's a "helpless situation" - to give it to God first, that is.
I posit that when we can realize that we are helpless within a
heart-wrenching situation, besides shining the Light & being detached
enough that we can be a worthy vessel as a beacon of the Light, we are
operating from a space of Divine strength. It's when we must also keep
analyzing the situation to distraction that we become trapped in trusting
our intellects & mired in our own guilt, that we get trapped in our egos &
rendered helpless to help another, including our own selves.
When things are looking the very worst they could possibly be, when we
are plagued by the guilt others &/or loved ones attempt to blame us for, we
become entrapped within their sickly visions, agreeing to feel guilty just
to resonate with them - it's then we have given away our personal power
(ironically). The Light doesn't shine through the guilt, or the mucky mire.
At best, it just works on reducing the muck.
It takes that *leap of faith* that we are alright without the guilt or
negativity, & giving it over to God. We can never convince another to
believe what we believe anyway - they have to decide to for themselves.
Just a few thoughts...hopefully helpful.

your hair!
