I will share this: in all of my travels on the planet, both spiritually and geographically, I like to think that I have become a rational, intelligent human being who rejects a lot of seemingly fanciful things I have come across. I too went through an astrology phase in college, but I think I was more about the math and the charts that I could draw up in those pre-computerized days than I was to the interpretations of the charts. I also went through a Tarot card phase, which I eventually abandoned out of boredom (the Death card doesn't mean death it just means profound changes are coming.... whatever, when does Death not mean death?). So through the years I've rejected religion as myth-making, astrology as money-making, and Tarot cards and fortune-telling as scammy pursuits with pretty set pieces.
The one thing I STILL won't mess with is a Ouija board, and I don't even know why. It could be my too-young viewing of "The Exorcist," a movie that to this recovering Catholic is STILL too terrifying to watch, or it could be all of the stories I've heard about it, on which very few have been debunked. Like I said, I don't know what my specific aversion to this thing still sold by Hasbro or some such toy-maker, is from. I know that even at 63, I still avoid it. Of course, still at 63, I also make sure that even if my bedroom is too damned hot in this season of the year, I always keep my feet covered because, you know.... why chance it?
“ Foreknowledge of an event won’t alter the outcome. In order to change something that will happen, we have to be able to change ourselves—and who among us can truly do that? As long as we are who we are, we can’t change the future, we will bump into it no matter what we do, so if we are given glimpses of it, will that really make anything better?”
The only reason mankind ever seeks foreknowledge of events is to try to control them. Maybe the trick to bending the arc isn’t to change ourselves, but rather to accept the change the Cosmos hands us. After all, the Cosmos is change, and change is all around us, all the time. Let it flow.
Interesting. Today I plan on visiting Candy Darling's grave at the Cherry Valley cemetery. Karma for the week of craziness comings.
Time is a continuum, and threads thru other planes of existence as real as ours... There are doors & pathways. Thanks for this, gr8 stuff👍
Jesus take the wheel!

Wow. That is some freaky shit. Thanks for sharing.
