I have no way of proving you wrong. Wouldn't it be interesting if you turned
out to be right? Well, maybe not interesting since we would only know for
sure when we ceased to be able to know anything about anything.

On the other hand, what if I am right? What if you, Trudogg, will soon
enough be released from this prison of human, physical frailties? What if,
soon enough, you will literally soar beyond this existence to universes,
planes, eons you and I could not even imagine today?

Why not dream big? Imagination is, if nothing else, enormously entertaining.

What is your secret, cause I really need to know how you do it. How do you
avoid unintentionally hurting the ones you love most dear? How do you, in
moments of great stress, avoid saying things which haunt you negatively the
rest of your life?

I have made my share, maybe more, of really unwise choices in this life. At
the age of 53, I find myself now genuinely believing that I have only lived,
at best, half of my life, and that hence forth, armed with more mature
wisdom, I hope to finally change the world for the better.

How does one end war, poverty, racism? The solutions are in our grasps. I
just know they are. This is that ":intuition"again ... that Divine spark ...
(my delusions?) ... speaking thru me again.
