Re: Mind's Eye Re: Aliens

Is time a mystery?  We have a theory bound by rods and clocks bound up in space that may be 'full'.  Light is at light-speed as soon as it hits space.  Yet we think of aliens 100,000 light-years away as operating in the same time as us, even if so distant we could never meet them in a lifetime.  We don't seem to be able to access this time is all.  All this stems from the conservation of momentum - and we have no satisfactory explanation of our conservation laws.  I'm always struck Columbus' voyage was only 34 days (out).  Time was different then on the absence of steel ships and the refrigerator.  What might it be in the future?

I don't find the bleeding or sacrifice or pain of crawling through thickets a necessary part of the search anymore, and have noticed others in here have given it up as well, with the notions of opinion conquest, purgation or evidentiary proof.  I have, over the years, seen the culture of ME bubble into war and then settle back down into something more peaceful and conducive to self exploration through group dynamic.  I have also seen members loosen their grip on the views they hold tight and watch those views open and the language that explains them change.  It is a wonderful thing. I include myself in this of course.

I don't find a benevolent God in my life, I find that I am not separate from God, or my experience, or others AND, paradoxically, I AM Molly, an individual. Thus, I am eternal and infinite, also finite and time limited.  A design as mysterious as time itself.  Once in awhile, in my own confusion, I can't see past the finite aspects of myself, forget that my placement in that unity and paradox is what brings the design's revelations into my experience.  Happily, that doesn't last too long anymore, and has become the exception, not the rule.

If there are aliens, they are a part of me I have not yet recognized, and so, have no view or experience of them to share.  Still waiting. But I am not going to hold my breath because perhaps, just maybe, if nothing is alien, the notion is irrelevant.

It was a metaphor, I am not seeking anyones blood even though it seems to be as the gold standard of thought.  I respect everyone.  I don't own the bullet or the gun.  I suppose if I continue to push further west I must encounter several wagon circles.

Not all of us require someone else's blood to find our way.  I suppose in here we respect that.
