Well, writing for a living was always my dream. Anything, everything. At least you move in the same world. To have been born an English Major - that I could not even dream....it was way beyond. Hope you feel as lucky as you are.

I am (used to be - now I'm jobless, minding a 5 month old) a business professional in the tech sector.

Religion - it still exists, chaining us to the past. The metaphors of the past have not adapted well to the present. The seventh heaven still exits somehwere in the clouds...!

I once read somewhere that up until now human beings were neurologically unable to conceive about the future, with the inibition being genetically imposed. The larval nervous system creates earth bound realities. For the caterpillar to think about flying would be survivally risky. It involves short periods and narrow perspectives. Farmer looks to the next harvest, parents look to their children. Larval civilizations operate on the basis of calculated ignorance about the future. The four brained person doesn't **want** to know aout the future as it threatens the stability of the reality imprint. Thus four brained societies do not want to know about the present because prospection would lessen the motivation to work blindly towards organized uncertainity.

Does that explain Nosterdamus's, Prophets and Gods of the world ? Neurological mutations ? Who knows.

PS : All those with strong religious convictions, please don't flame me. I'm just citing opinions I have read somewhere.
