Life

They don't want me to tell you this. But who are they? They are you and everyone else. We are collectively multiple persons that inhabit the same 'reality'. Pretty weird. Let me elucidate.
Do you ever get the feeling that you are ‘more’? 'More' than what you are, that you are very creative and that you can accomplish great things? Well guess what....you are. Yes indeed, you actually are unless you give up in which case the other personalities that you are get heartburn. In deed, and in fact, this is what is happening. Do you think that all those great persons, known and unknown, got to where they are because they were 'great'? Well actually, yes. But they are great because of what you and I are. Because we did not give up. Because we are sort of splinter personalities that lead to those who can do and will do.

Face it. Are you a doer? Do you simply sit at home and watch TV or go through your day after day after day? You feel that you can do greatness, but you don't. You get inspiration and a feeling of accomplishment when actually you have not done squat. Well in reality, you have done great things. Whether it is a sublime mathematical formula or a great acting gig, or perhaps wrote a wonderful poem, it was you that did it.

These sounds strange and there are many levels here but on the first level, you are simply a cog in a vast machine that helps those who need to be creative, be creative.

On another level, you are a personality that is in touch with his or her other personalities and help those achieve great things. You are like the soldiers that support the General Pattons. You actually enhance other personality fragments so they can accomplish more. Just like you help your children and co-workers and others through donations, you actually create a bond between you and your other lives so that you, as a combined multipersonal being, do better things to advance our species and consciousness.

More to come....ok? Hello? You there?.....

In response to going to Battle Road april 15th and seeing the revolution re-enactment

My boyfriend Patrick:
Well, of course different communities have different views of the Revolution. Concord is proud we won it but still wishes we were all British anyway. Acton likes to think they were Just As Important as Concord, largely ignoring that they were a sheep meadow, not a town, in the late 1700's. Pepperell thinks Prudence Cummings is the real hero(ine) of the battle since she was Captain of the bridge guard and actually captured a British soldier that day. (Acton thinks Pepperell sucks since they're clearly inferior to Acton, but somehow managed to snag a piece of history more compelling than "Minutemen had to step (carefully) through our fields on that day." (coming from Pepperell, no doubt. )

Upon telling him that I posted this, he replies:
Hmmm... I suppose I should have written it more clearly. Prudence Cummings was captain of the bridge guard in Pepperell (not Concord, which seems to be implied.) Also, thinking on it, Concord isn't so proud we won the Revolution as they are proud to have started it.
