this planet has been described as a "prison planet." anyone feel like your in prison? slavery and freedom are choices we make based on our programing. and only you can make the decission to change that programing, if you wish. what is being discussed here is of great, critical importance. i feel it's safe to say we all made a decision to be here at this place and time, to do whatever it is, or play whatever part we've chosen. well, it's showtime, people! the end of the world has happened/been predicted so many times- but it's/we're still here! one planet blown to pieces-, another turned into a red dust bowl- come on, now-
we're getting short of planets! (law of one stuff, don't cha know) i don't know whether to laugh or conceptualize over what you said. because i get your hidden sort of sarcastic humor with the whole thing. and i guess i did a bit of both.

about your "prison planet" comment. i agree and i would like to add:

why is it that two of my biggest heroes, gandhi and nelson mandela, found much of their profound wisdom because they spent years in solitary confinement?

that seems to be what this life (3d) is all about. kind of like a pilgrimage. you are all alone, trapped in this body, and you are forced to really think about what in the hell is important. at first it is food, then violence, then sex, then fame, then we realize, finally, all of that stuff is hallow. finally, after watching the tide rise and fall for lifetimes, we see that love is what brings the tide in. and that is it.

love multiplies. everything else divides.

you are a deep and wise person, robert, so please post your thoughts more often.
