Buttons and switches.

I think it's funny how we attach an action to a little thing like a switch. It's something that triggers an event, and sometimes the event can be so powerful and meaningful that it's hard to trace the series of actions back to "She clicked the button." I'm talking about big things, like the detonator switch to an atomic bomb, the trigger of a gun, and even the AIM block button, if it ends a six year relationship. In the order of events, of how what will happen happens, and becomes what has happened, it's hard to imagine that such a devastating and irreparable action can traced back and blamed on such an insignificant action as flipping a switch. It only lasts a fraction of a second, but the consequences go on, and on...

I was just thinking about that recently, but more like lightswitches and hot water.

It's really magic if you think about it, and mind-control (i.e. your mind controlling external reality) I mean, people wanted light... they had to invent light by making fire. They had to invent fire.

People watned hot water? Well they'd better find a hot spring.

Now if we want water we just turn a knob and it comes out at the exact temperature we want, and to get to the water we generally flick a switch to illmuniate the room. We don't marvel at this. We don't marvel that waste goes down the toilet and is replaced with "clean" (ish? ) water .... we don't wonder where it goes to.

We don't marvel at the fact that we can travel at 120 mph while feeling like we're standing still. Driving is almost muscle memory and requires no thinking, yet allows us to traverse insanely huge distances.

We can fly across a nation in less than 6 hours and to us the nation might as well only be a few hundred miles long, because assuming we fly it only takes us roughly that "long" in terms of "driving" to get to the place we want to go in the first place.

all these things baffle the un-accepting mind.

....I embrace my desire to feel the rhythm, to feel connected enough to step aside and weep like a widow, to feel inspired, to fathom the power, to witness the beauty, to bathe in the fountain, to swing on the spiral of our divinity and still be a human......
Om Namah Shivaya, I tell you What!
