Love, Illusion & Reality
Illusion is visible and Reality has form. It’s like love which has 2 people with integrated interests and one soul inside an intertwining form in a misty reality. You know your love is real and has form but you can’t explain it because it resides on a border between form and formless. Your friends notice that you have changed. They want to know why. Your friends may not understand your reality because to them it appears as a visible illusion. Sometimes, for no rational reason, you fall in love with someone whom you have never seen. This ultimate love is the one that you know has a grip on you, is for keeps whether you like it or not, has a very real and lasting effect, drives you nuts, can’t be explained, is impervious to whether you marry someone else, and generally causes a gigantic headache. If your friends have noticed you have changed they will naturally want to know why. If you tell them you are madly in love with a Form of Reality that is ethereal you will be inundated with every person that ever crossed your path. The word goes out and former significant others will want you to have lunch with them. Your former significant others will tell you that even though your and their relationship ended, you and they will be friends forever. When the time is right they will tell you that you are nuts. Your girl friends will wonder what has happened to someone that is bright, intelligent, incisive, and insightful. All you can do is sit there and smile because deep down you know your Life Force has connected with another mysterious and wonderful Life Force. That is all that can be said no matter how hard you try.

Will We Pass???
We’re all in a symbiotic relationship with God. There are many steps but the first one is to cement a relationship between our visible matter filled illusions and our invisible formed Reality. God has given us the tools and has agreed to assist us if we are prepared to provide the sweat. We have the ability to develop insightful relationships with our Reality and God. Life on earth, at its’ simplest, is a field test for all of us. If we get it right we pass. If we don’t, we get to take "earth" all over again. All we can do is keep our wits and unconditionally help each other. Life on earth is where we learn in order to take the next step. We have randomness, order, and chaos to provide the adventure and challenges. We have Freedom Of Choice. We have consequences, both good and bad. That is us, you and I!!!

Levels
Each of us have 3 levels of existence. The first level is the world we exist in now. It’s illusionary in the sense that our ego / consciousness defines how we interpret incoming information. Our ability to interpret the incoming information is largely proportional to our life experiences, mental gifts, and insight. Our 2nd level is Life Force. Life Force is the Soul’s Reality. The 3rd level is God. Each level is more powerful than the last. Your 2nd level Life Force, functioning in Reality, is a converter / interpreter between your illusionary first level and God. Your 2nd level Life Force may also have an independent existence and relationships with other Life Forces that are beyond a 1st level’s illusionary understanding or sometimes, even knowledge. I have a strong nagging feeling that God has started to recruit and train individuals to work in the area between illusion and reality. It will not be easy.

The Fun House
I went to a fun house the other day. For those that don’t know what a fun house is, it’s a house filled with curved mirrors that create illusions by distorting your physical persona. The most interesting thing about the fun house was the frames that held the mirrors. These frames followed the curve of the mirrors in two dimensions. I looked at the other people in the room and reality told me that they hadn’t changed physically. I couldn’t look at myself, so I worked on the assumption that I wasn’t the only weird person, physically speaking, in the room. I was also comforted by the thought that God, like us, doesn’t like to do a lot of unnecessary work, so in all probability I was similar to everyone else. It sort of reminded me of life. Two dimensionally we all live in frames. Three dimensionally we live in cubic space. Perhaps you have heard of people getting all hot and bothered about something or other invading their space. Each of us interpret our world from inside our personal space. Our personal tool box to interpret what we see is of various quality and quantity, usually proportional to our life experiences, mental gifts and physical appearance because most people’s space runs on eye appeal. God, being fair, has developed a system to bring the information to our personal space at the same speed. She, being wise, has installed a Life Force which usually exists outside our personal space. It acts as a conduit between God and you and I in our personal space. A Life Force is similar too, but not exactly equivalent to, your ego / consciousness. Your ego / consciousness is a personal space based interpretation of you. Your Life Force is usually a complete stranger to your ego / consciousness. For most people, it is a surprise that they are even hauling around a Life Force. Your Life Force lives in a world of infinite reality. It is generally out there doing its’ own thing and looking for action with other Life Forces. Occasionally, our Life Force, finds another Life Force and the frolicking begins. The forces existing between Life Forces are infinite and sometimes your personal space is dragged around with the fun. The next thing you know is that your personal space is all distorted and you, for whatever, unfathomable reason get dragged into the action. A wise and deep person once told me that "I am what I seek." I suppose, based on that imparted wisdom that I should talk to my Life Force, but hell, It’s so much fun!!

Desire
Desire is found on many levels. The first level is our 3 dimensional existence. We "desire" fame, fortune, success, money and the love of a beautiful man / woman. We pray to God / Source Of All Things for material benefits to satisfy our ego / consciousness. Sometimes we get into various pots of water and pray to God to get us off the hook. Sometimes she does & sometimes she doesn’t. Life is a learning process (isn’t it ??) and sometimes we have to "sweat" to reach the next level. Sometimes, we go beyond prayer in a formal setting and just talk to God as we walk along doing our 1st level activities. During those conversations, we may inadvertently make suggestions to God about our life in a non wanting / pleading way. Sometimes, through a series of seemingly unconnected events over God’s "Time", God brings that off hand suggestion into our 3 dimensional reality. Sometimes, God comes to you through your Life Force and says "I’ll take you on a wondrous journey helping others. I’ve given you a powerful skill set. Be careful how you use it as it carries great responsibility. There will be no glory and sometimes the walk will be difficult. You may not always see me, maybe even feel abandoned, but I’ll be there." And the journey began!!

Leadership
Sometimes you’re chosen through circumstance. Sometimes no one wants it and you’re better than nothing. Sometimes you run for the position. Running for leadership is no time to discuss complicated problems in any detail. You need a jazzy 30 second sound bite. It would also be nice if you had a catchy phrase that encapsulates something that is part of the voter’s being. For instance, "Family Values" is good. Everyone has "Family Values" and everyone can fill in their personal bias as to what it means. Leadership demands that you make promises. The promises have to be vague like "Improve your circumstances." It is asking for disaster to have a specific promise like "Lower your fuel bills". If you are someone who really likes to tempt the Fickle Finger Of Fate put a date on when this is to happen!! No one, not even psychics, can nail down future events to the minute!! The Fickle Finger Of Fate does exactly what she feels like doing, whenever, which means that the future events seen before an election are not exactly the future events after an election. Would you run a train off the tracks in order to keep a promise and by implication, also save your integrity??

Reality
We all have our own reality. Our individual realities are the product of all our life experiences from the day our soul is placed in our body. Each of us have reality challenges. Some are physical, some mental, and some external. Our reality interprets our world. In order to make sense of our surroundings, we interpret our world as a series of patterns. There are plenty of examples. For instance, we pattern groups of people, religions, cultures, and geographical locations. We bring our life’s experience to interpret these patterns. Each of us makes a judgment as to whether someone we meet is an acquaintance, friend or soulmate. Reality has 3 levels. The bottom reality involves the ego. Our 3 dimensional being, which we all eyeball in one another, has to be able to function efficiently and successfully or we are toast. This means that our ego or consciousness has to be in decent enough shape that we can cope successfully with randomness, order and chaos to achieve our life’s perceived aims and objectives. The next level is our life force. The life force is philosophically equivalent to our lower level ego but not exactly the same, but is, however, an integral part of our Soul. Our Soul’s interests are usually totally divergent from our ego’s interests because they both function in different environments. Our Soul is the main conduit between God and our 3 dimensional reality. Most people don’t have a clue about their Soul beyond being worried that they will lose it. How many times have you met someone and discovered that they were actually interesting once the ego was gently lifted out of the way??? Well, that’s their Soul talkin’!! The 3rd reality level is God. She really wants us to succeed so she helps us with our life force. Most people don’t avail themselves of God’s willingness to help them with their life force beyond asking her to give us something or remove us from whatever pot of water is boiling us at the moment. Poets, Romanticists, and the Inquisitive all have their reality. Their reality is "real" to them even though it may not be "real" to you. To have love you have to have compatibility with each other, with your interests, and lastly with your souls. This means that you have to match your "reality" with an outsider’s "reality". Do I exist??? Probably!! I think, therefore I am in my own reality!! Hopefully, you do too and are out there somewhere!!

Life Is (A) Stool
Life is built on 3 legs of (a) stool. The first being religion, the second science, and the third life force. Right now a lot of people are in a period of restlessness. This restlessness has a lot of specific names such as stress, me first philosophy, general dissatisfaction, etc.. Frequently, we get involved in power struggles, or mind games. If we win we feel better as we have absorbed part of someone else’s life force. If we lose, we feel like stool because they have absorbed some of our life force. It stands to reason that there is only so much life force floating around that we can absorb from someone else. The other problem is that we screw up our personal Time String which has to be strong to work efficiently. Our Time String brings good things into our life if we exclude the effects of randomness which hits everyone once in a while. The Time String also attracts events, usually in groups of 3, over relatively short periods of Time. The trick is to attract good events which is easier said than done. We all run into negativity all the time. Some people say we shouldn’t be doing this or that because we are wasting time. Others say they won’t read our blogs. Some criticize us for some other perceived shortcoming. My readers, this is all bullshit designed to absorb your life force. The trick is to turn the other cheek attached to your face rather than the one attached to your bum. In fact it is better to abandon all negative cheekiness!! If you add a smile during cheek turning this will drive them nuts overall and specifically / disorganize their life force / create anxiety / crisis of confidence in them / thereby getting them off your back!! If you adopt these principles then you will find that your life "is" rather than "isn’t"!!

One Of Life’s Little Conundrums
If God is all powerful and all seeing then she knows what is going to happen. If you agree with that statement then there isn’t any Free Will but there is Predestination. It follows that if there is Predestination then you and I cannot be held responsible for something over which we have no control / say in the matter. Consequently it would seem to me that all of us are going to heaven no matter what happens.

Love Triangle
The people in our lives can be classified in 3 categories, acquaintances, friends and soulmates. The acquaintances are those people that you perceive to have a personality about one or two notches above a brick wall. Friends come down to 3 basic subcategories, friend, friend with benefits, and any adjective friends. When we are young and filled with lots of hormones the territorial imperative tells us to reproduce our kind. This means young love is primarily a 3 dimensional experience which revolves around gorgeous bodies, smart cars, and financially rewarding jobs. There isn’t anything wrong with this setup except that it won’t last because of the trinity of randomness, order and chaos in our world. The presence of chaos means that no matter how much we try to bring order to our body it soon deteriorates beyond repair. There is also a possibility when you married your best guess, your souls were incompatible and you had no common long term interests. Time advances, your body start to go, sex disappears and to top it off your souls are acquaintances!! It is then that you realize that true love is based on an amalgamation of 3 things, people, common interests, and souls or in other words your garden variety love triangle!!

The Great Attractor
According to my religion, I’m made in God’s Image. If this is true, then both God and I loath doing a lot of unnecessary work. In my posting, "The Ms.’s Plan", I casually mentioned in passing that to keep things from becoming boring, she added randomness, order and chaos to spice up our life in this universe. Most of us have a conception of randomness because lots of things come out of the blue to whack us on the side of the head. Order is not too hard to understand, especially if you have been exposed to a mother that thinks cleanliness is close to godliness. Chaos is a lot harder to grasp. Normally, if something is chaotic, it means that something is on a road to rapidly becoming non-existent. It stands to reason that if God doesn’t want to do a lot of work yet wants us to last in this universe, then the universe has to have an Attractor to restore the Chaos to order. If you agree that this universe seems to be based on mathematics, then it is logical to assume that the Attractor has to be a number. The number has to be small because she also works on the KISS (Keep It Simple, Stupid) principle. My best guess is the number is 3. Let’s see. Love, to be eternal, has to be an amalgamation of 3 things, people, common interests, and souls. We have 3 dimensions, length, width and height. Three strikes and you’re out. Things, good or bad, usually happen in 3’s. Most discussions have 3 major points. Traffic lights usually have 3 lights, red for stop, yellow for caution and green for go. You are usually given 3 chances to accomplish something. Most people can only remember 3 things on a list. The triangle, consisting of 3 sides, is the strongest form of construction. The people you know in your life can be classified as acquaintances, friends and soulmates. Yes indeedy, it seems that the number 3 is The Great Attractor / The Great Attraction that holds my life together!!!

The Ms.’s Plan
When God created the inhabitants of this earth she had to give them something to do. She came up with the idea of having all the religions built on a book of core principles and illustrative stories to give the inhabitants an idea as to what was expected and to get them started. She decided to let the inhabitants work out the details for each specific life case and circumstance using the core principles and illustations as a guideline. This challenge to the inhabitants was the basis for the saying "The Devil is in the details.". Since travel and communication were limited in terms of time and space that could be covered at once, she was forced to organize circumstances in different parts of the world to get the word out through a variety of people and seemingly natural events in different places. To keep things from becoming boring, she added randomness, order and chaos as spices to the mix. God, besides having to give the inhabitants something to do, also had to put together systems so the universe would function efficiently. After Religion became chaotic as I outlined in "The Magic Box", the Scientific Method was invented and was based on the testing of an idea using methods that could be duplicated to come to a conclusion and then publishing that conclusion. This need to publish invented the concept of media because various people started to comment on the ideas being published and proven. They then extended this concept to anything that couldn’t necessarily be proven and might even be objectionable for one reason or another to some people. Finally, we reach blogging. For the first time in history, the ordinary people that aren’t going to be missed by the world at large when they die, can express their opinion worldwide for very little money. The ultimate Ms.’s Plan.

Creative Writing Hints
I was tooling around some blogs and noticed that a lot of people are going back to school. Here’s some first sentence hints to get them started writing winning stories.
1. Her face was a perfect oval, like a circle that had its two sides gently compressed by a Thigh Master.
2. His thoughts tumbled in his head, making and breaking alliances like underpants in a dryer without Cling Free.
3. He spoke with the wisdom that can only come from experience. Perhaps like a guy who went blind because he used a pinhole box improperly to look at a solar eclipse. Now his sole objective in life is to visit every school to speak about the dangers of using pinhole boxes without reading the instructions first.
4. She grew on him like she was a colony of E. Coli and he was room-temperature beef.
5. She had a deep, throaty, genuine laugh, like that sound a dog makes just before it throws up.
6. Her vocabulary was as bad as last night’s leftovers.
7. He was as tall as a six-foot-three-inch tree.
8. The revelation that his marriage of 30 years had disintegrated because of his wife's infidelity came as a rude shock, something like a surcharge at a formerly surcharge-free ATM.
9. The little boat gently drifted across the pond exactly the way a bowling ball wouldn't.
10. McBride fell 12 stories, hitting the pavement like a Hefty bag filled with vegetable soup.
11. From the attic came an unearthly howl. The whole scene had an eerie, surreal quality, similar to being on vacation in another city and discovering Jeopardy! comes on at 7 p.m. instead of 7:30.
12. Her hair glistened in the rain like a nose hair after a sneeze.
13. The hailstones leaped from the pavement, just like frying maggots in hot grease.
14. Long separated by cruel fate, the star-crossed lovers raced across the grassy field toward each other like two freight trains, one having left Cleveland at 6:36 p.m. traveling at 55 mph, the other from Topeka at 4:19 p.m. at a speed of 35 mph.
15. They lived in a suburban neighbourhood with picket fences that resembled his ex-wife’s teeth.
16. John and Mary were like two hummingbirds who had never met.
17. He fell for her like his heart was a mob informant and she was the East River.
18. Even in his last years, grandpa had a mind like a steel trap, only one that had been left out so long that it had rusted shut.
19. The plan was simple, like my brother-in-law Phil. But unlike Phil, this plan just might work.
20. The young fighter had a hungry look, the kind you get from not eating for a while.
21. He was as lame as a duck. Not the metaphorical lame duck, either, but a real duck that was actually lame. Maybe from stepping on a land mine or something similar.
22. The ballerina rose gracefully En Pointe and extended one slender leg behind her, like a dog at a fire hydrant.
23. It was a family tradition, like chasing kids around with power tools.
24. He was deeply in love. When she spoke, he thought he heard bells, as if she were a garbage truck backing up.
25. Her eyes were like limpid pools, only they had forgotten to put in any pH conditioner.
26. She walked into my office like a centipede with 98 missing legs.
27. It hurt the way your tongue hurts after you accidentally staple it to the wall

Truth Is Perception & Perception Is Truth
I’ve been watching the result of Hurricane Katrina on television. I don’t know who is right or wrong. All I can say is in the age of mass communication it comes down to "Truth Is Perception & Perception Is Truth". There once was a famous successful business leader who said to his executives: " I don’t care how you get there, or how hard you worked or what problems you had, I just want a successful bottom line on the due date." It seems to me that all I’m seeing on TV is a bunch of well bathed, coiffured people that aren’t sweaty and don’t stink telling me with a sincere, earnest face and some well chosen, soothing words that they are going as fast as they can and doing all they can do so in essence get off my back. I particularly like the ones that say "They are praying" and "Understand my pain". I sincerely hope that the ones that are praying have a better "in" with God than I as I’d sure like to see some results!! We are then shown a contrasting clip of hungry, sweaty people of color with no change of clothing existing in conditions which would lead to your and my immediate arrest and imprisonment if our farm animals were found in those conditions. I don’t know about you, but to me this type of leadership is not a confidence builder. I shutter to think that the world is relying on us as the last functional superpower to keep them out of trouble. To be fair, I can’t get too mad at our leaders because they are no more incompetent than anyone else in an executive position that can’t handle unusual problems in an efficient manner. For the first time in my life I fall down on my knees each night and thank God with all my heart that he loves us sufficiently to save us from our own stupidity!!

The Magic Box
Someone said somewhere that if something is technically ahead of our civilization then our civilization is going to think it is magic. When you think about it our civilization started out predominately believing in magic which really is a form of random thinking. I was taught that Adam and Eve were thrown out of the Garden Of Eden because of a failure to follow instructions. Once Adam and Eve were thrown out the thought crossed their minds that they better start following instructions. Since they didn’t have a clue about science, the only other alternative was to try to placate the person that threw them out of the garden. It was probably at this point that a division of labor / multitasking was developed as one person couldn’t do it all. Sex rears its’ ugly head and civilization starts to expand. Everyone had to be fed so classes of work was invented. Some classes had more value because those classes required more skills. Since our civilization has an element of randomness, sometimes things don’t go well as we all know. Since science didn’t exist, every right thinking person realized that the various gods were angry so one or several of them had to be placated depending on where you screwed up. The brighter lights realized that random god pleasing may not be all that efficient, so the better technics were codified or put in order. So now we have randomness and order in the system. The bright lights soon realized that if they were going to all this work then their rewards should be greater. They began to think why bother to clear it with the gods when they knew the answer. Next came the random idea that they could make exceptions to the rules. If someone, wanted to show their appreciation why not??? I have to stop now, there’s some chaotic pounding at the front door. I think it is trouble!! Now where did I put that Magic Box???

Was That Tea Or Me???
We all tread a very fine line in life. A typical example is flirting. If flirting isn’t done properly then you’re going to end up with a harrassment, privacy infringement, or identity theft charge. The basic problem is a good flirt has to be done through the eyes which is essentially a window to a soul. A flirt is periously close to a challenge. I accidently ran across a 1000 lb. Grizzily the other day. Now if anyone has every read about surviving in the (social) wilderness one of the things they mention is watch your eyes. If a Grizzily stares at you it’s not wise to stare back. Grizzilies don’t seem to understand any of the principles of flirting. They think it’s a challenge. If this situation arises, the only suggestion I have is to adopt the Demure Technique. This technique is essentially one of lowering your eyes, signalling that the message of interest has been received. Social ettiquite demands for maxium disengagement success that disinterest be communicated by backing up while still maintaining a servile position. Since the Grizzily is "fast", it is best to gain some distance in reverse before turning and running like hell. It all comes down to most people having trouble with being looked at which I suspect is a defense mechanism left over from our ancient life in the caves. In those times, receiving a stare from someone usually meant they needed a meal or sex. Tea anyone???

Is That You Alphonse???
Everything in this universe seems to consist of particles, strings and waves. If this is true, then Time must also consist of particles, strings and waves. The question, therefore, arises that if Time consists of particles, strings, and waves it can be manipulated. Needless to say, our civilization doesn’t have a clue about the manipulation of Time. To add to the fun while everything may consist of particles, strings and waves, things only manifest themselves consistently in one form. For instance, you and I normally appear as a particle which the English language has named man / woman. Time in our universe usually appears as a dimensionless Time String of energy which holds particles, energy and events together. Gravity is a similar phenomena because even though it has characteristics of a particle, string or wave it only appears as a dimensionless Gravity String that attaches particles, strings and waves to a Graviton particle. The question arises if Time has a particle form can we go back in Time if we learn to manipulate Time Particles??? Secondly if we can go back in Time, can we kill our parents and by extension kill ourselves??? In answer to the first question there is no reason that we can’t learn to manipulate Time and Gravity particles. The answer to the second question is tougher. It is quite possible that we also exist as a particle, string and wave. Therefore it seems to me that if we go back in Time we can see ourselves as a particle, string or wave but we can’t change anything because our "Space" has changed. For instance, in quantum theory, we can have multiple states of any object which in this case is a particle called you and me. For example, an electron can exist simultaneously in different orbits / spaces which is a fact upon which the laws of chemistry / quantum theory is based. If flying saucers do exist, it is possible that they come from other civilizations that are intellectually light years ahead of us. They drop in on us to see what we’re up to from time to time or alternately to see what the devil we are up to when we set off nuclear bombs. I guess it is equivalent to coming across an ant hill. Would you bend down to the ants and give them trinkets, books, medicine, and power or would you have the strange urge to step on a few of them? Oh yeah, before I forget, don't turn someone away who knocks at your door one day, asks if it is Alphonse, and then claims to be your future great-great-great granddaughter. She may be right!!!

May Be
Life is nothing but a big "may be", but it is a big "maybe" whether we "may" sit on our duffs or get out and "be". Whether we like it or not, as in we can’t do anything about it, we all live in a universe in which randomness, order, and chaos are trying to get the upper hand in our lives. Randomness is the antithesis of Free Will. There are plenty of examples in history, such as war, where someone choose to exercise their "Free Will" which started a series of seemingly random events that lead to unforeseen events which is summarized in "The Law Of Unforeseen Consequences". Order is perhaps the most important aspect of our lives. We’re forever cleaning up after something or getting organized to do something. We get some help from the "Law Of Threes" which states that: "Everything, including events, tends to stabilize around the prime number 3." In previous posts I have tried to show that mathematics clusters around the number 9 which is just an exotic form of 3 as in (3 X 3 = 9). Chaos has the last laugh. Everything tends to fall apart. We all age, we all tend to disintegrate as in getting sick, injured or what have you. Everyone’s life is essentially the same in principle, even though our individual adventures and burdens may be different. When you go out the door, deciding to walk or take the bus randomness could change your life. Maybe a car will jump the curb and kill you. Maybe you'll get on the bus and glance around and you'll meet the eyes of someone else whom you cannot help but talk to, and you'll fall in love. All that - two life-altering situations - all because of a simple choice of how to reach your destination. Randomness, order and chaos forces you to live your life. Randomness, order and chaos are equal opportunity aggravations . You can sit there, moan and groan and still get it on the chin or you can get out and do something, anything, experiment for God’s sake. Life is meant to be lived. If you're not happy where you are, change it. Whether you've got the money to get out of there comfortably, or you've got to work odd jobs along the way to keep yourself going, go for your dreams. Sure randomness, order and chaos will be your traveling companions but don’t forget the Fickle Finger Of Fate may give you your dream. If it means staying where you are and changing jobs, or leaving the country or continent, do it. Randomness, order and chaos may delay you but they aren’t going to stop you. You've got to pick yourself up and keep going no matter what and plant yourself where you want to be - where you need to be. Then, and only then, will you be happy or at least, if nothing else, happier than you were before. So, if you find yourself on the roof of a tall building standing on the parapet, wondering if your greatest gift to civilization or what passes for it is to jump, just remember that most of us have been there done that if only in our imaginations because we lacked your guts to jump before our journey was completed!!

Right Stuff
How do you know that your potential soulmate / significant other has the right stuff??? You think that you’ve found your soulmate /significant other but how can you be sure??? Can / will this potential life partner have the where withal to go the distance?? He / she seems to meet all your friend’s external criteria as far as "What’s ‘right’ for you. You read somewhere that true love comes from the soul. The vaguely recalled article said that your soulmate would rather sacrifice himself / herself for your success / happiness then worry excessively about his / her wants and needs. Your potential soulmate probably appears to be a Wuz because he / she isn’t controlling / intimidating or appears to be excessively concerned about their career, clothing or in some cases personal hygiene. He / she leaves the major decisions up to you. He / she is always quite agreeable with what you decide. You find all this stuff very off putting but in the dark of night just before the clock strikes 12:00 midnight you realize that you like it in spite of his / her wuzzy personality. If you still don’t believe your good luck, here are some 3 tests:
Take dancing lessons with your soulmate. If you are still speaking after the lessons you are in love.
Renovate a house. If you are still speaking after the decisions on decorating / room design / negligent / incompetent / non showing contractors then you are in love.
Live with your potential soulmates / significant other’s relatives in as small a room as possible. If done properly you will find that your potential soulmate / significant other will revert to small child behaviour in front of his parents. It is essential that the experiment be reversed. You and your significant / potential soulmate live in a small room with your parents. You will find that you too will revert to small child behaviour in front of your parents.
If you can still stand each other, you are in love, my friend!!!!

Intelligent Design and Creationism
There is a debate going on in some parts of the world about intelligent design and creationism. Creationism or creation science promotes the idea that there is scientific evidence to validate the biblical story. Who knows for sure?? In those days few people could read or write with the result that most information was conveyed in the form of stories or song which began to suffer from inaccuracies the longer the stories and songs were repeated. In addition, you had the problem that people’s grasp of science was more in the magic area than in scientific thought. Intelligent Design promotes the idea that the complexity of nature is such that strictly random forces didn’t have the sophistication to produce human development. I don’t think the two views are necessary incompatible. It may be that God originally created man and woman and placed them in the equivalent of a Garden of Eden but something went wrong. The essence of the story then came down in all beliefs and religions in terms that the people could intuitively grasp. I’m a believer in Intelligent Design. While this universe is a mixture of randomness, order and chaos, it seems to me that someone had to set up the underlining process so randomness, order and chaos could function with reasonable efficiency. God, for lack of a better word, seems to have organized this world using the number 3. My previous posts have tried to articulate this argument in various forms. Without boring the hell out of you, you have:
Particles, energy, processes linked by a Time String.
Events such as deaths occurring in groups of 3
Length, width and height - 3 dimensions.
Natural clustering in groups of 3’s.
Prime Numbers connected to logarithms based on 9 (3 X 3 = 9)
