to the moon, alice

There's a belief shared by quantum physicists, eastern mystics, and ancient wise guys that the reality we live in is self created and every detail of our waking reality is as individually crafted as our own sleep dreams.

Sometimes my dreams ignore the laws of physics and I'm able to fly, jump over mountains, walk through walls, breathe under water, and instantly transport myself to a completely different setting.

If reality is self created, why would we include the laws of physics?  If flying is what we want, why would we include gravity and further compound it my making it an unbreakable law?  It's like speed bumps at the Indi 500.

I tend to think we've been programed to accept these carved in stone "laws" to keep us from levitating over the stockyard fence and jumping over the moon.

" Some people walk in the rain,

From the Roger Miller entry in Wikipedia:

"Miller was married three times, and fathered seven children.

...

... [By the time daughter Shari was born,] Miller's career was beginning to blossom into national popularity. The family remained in Inglewood for a short time after Miller found fame. The increasing interest in Miller caused struggles for the performer: he suffered from depression and insomnia and had a drug addiction that contributed to the end of both his first and second marriages; Miller was known to walk off of shows and get into fights."

The Rog-man did both walking in the rain AND get wet looks like.

Is Miller's quote less true because he was married three times? Is it because he was a depressive insomniac who required medication? Was it because he fathered seven children? Maybe leaving his family in Inglewood was a wrong move.

Do you really believe human frailty is reason enough to dismiss someone's thoughts? I say it's human frailty that makes Miller's words all the more credible.

To the Canuck, thank you.
To Anonymous, get a clue.
