Re: Streets, Dinosaurs and Control

Well, taking care crossing the street is a good idea if you want to stay alive. Most parents tell their children in a quite insistent fashion never to cross without looking both ways, and given the danger, most people agree it's a very good idea. Unfortunately, those same people then go and disobey their own good ideas and ignore their own advice. This contradictory behaviour is apparent throughout the human race.

Still, while common sense no doubt applies, you should not let it get to the point where it scares you. If you do you end up with phobias about it, be cautious not afraid.

As a child, there is generally nothing to suggest what your parents tell you is false. Until there is. Discovering that Santa and the Tooth Fairy don't really exist begins something interesting in a child's mind. Suddenly, the child discovers it's parents don't always tell the truth, whereas usually the child simply believes whatever they say. Sadly, this means all the falsehoods and physiological damage passed on from previous generations get given to the next as well.

One thing kids tend to like is dinosaurs (why a child would be interested in these things is something the human race really should look at). So if we have a child who knows about both dinosaurs and the bible, it might well ask:

"If I created the world in seven days, how did the dinosaurs live for millions of years before humans?"

I am not controlling people. People are controlling people. You can't just ignore them, you'd never evolve as a race if people did that. However you need to filter other people's ideas through a metaphorical mesh made out of logic in your mind. I don't interfere because to do so would be to limit your own choices. People can do that, but I will not.

In reality, if more people are getting killed these days it is only because there are more people. Humans were just as violent and confused 10 years ago, 100 years ago, 1000 years ago as they are today. Nowadays of course, more of it is being reported, and violence across the world is displayed on your TV screens.
Religion is a bad thing because it lies to you. You will not become some kind of sadistic evil woman because you leave religion, people might notice that not all religious people are monsters, but not all are kind gentle folk either. The same holds true for the scientists and atheists of your world. They are what they choose to be, and so are you. If you don't want to murder children, don't do it! Doesn't make any odds whether you're a Christian or not in that sense.

Yes, you asked for this sign and so you have received. But if your beliefs hadn't been turned on their head now, it would have happened slowly over many years. Of course, you'd continue to be depressed and lonely, but you'd probably be praying for me to get rid of it for you rather than actively doing something about it yourself. That's something you would do well to start as soon as possible.

Regarding the inside of you mind, I will say that if you don't control your thoughts and feelings, they'll control you. Sadly, confronting said thoughts and feelings is a necessary first step to controlling and finally understanding them. If you can do that, the negative ones will all but disappear.

Damien does have a caring side to him. That doesn't make his negative qualities any less negative though. Sadly for him, his need to appear like everything's going well may one day have his life falling apart around him while he smiles and tries to pretend otherwise. This process has already begun in his relationship with Michelle. As you might imagine, Michelle is getting rather irritated that he's been texting you (Damien doesn't actually know about the "sent items" folder) and they're feeling the strain. Well, she is anyway, Damien's naturally completely oblivious.

Well yeah, everyone else seems to be more trouble than they're worth. Even if I'm not in a relationship, not that I've ever had one so I don't know why I bother to say that, I still get hurt. Sometimes though, I get into a detailed discussion with some poor soul who's had the misfortune to meet me. I tell them all about my views on everything, they always end up killing themselves. It really gets me down...

Hah, you say I've got other people around me to be friends with, but you have plenty too. If you believed that then why aren't you out there making friends? There's enough humans out there...

Most of the people around me do know what to say, they say:

"Get out of my way" - Even though in our 4 dimensional existence there's no means for me to be in their way...

I tried strawberry ice cream once, I was on holiday at Beachy Head (I like the white cliffs, reminds me of the death I can't have yet) and some human guy was trying to cheer me up and offered me some. Made my tongue swell up something awful and I was throwing up for over an hour afterwards.

Never saw him again, like most people I meet.

Love and light are things that affect other people,
