<all I know for sure is that God exists, and that I am not God, nor am I part of God.> CB, How the heck do you know those things? I look all over and inside and ponder and have read all sorts of stuff and I can't know any of that for sure, or even an approximate guess, though I make up conjecture about what is maybe going on. Did you figure it out for yourself? Or did somebody tell you and you just accepted the rules as told to you? Mqurice

I wish I had more time to talk to you about this. Right now I am working every day until the 14th and haven't the time to write thoughtfully. (I am a very slow thinker). I have never understood why just vanishing was so troubling to people, either. I dislike watching people vanish because it distresses me to see a lifetime just suddenly not be there, but that is because it then can infect you with meaninglessness (50 years of practice, I can finally play the Allelujah Chorus with left hand octaves, and poof). And selfishly, I miss people. It sounds to me as if you have a great appreciation for your life, a joy in your days, and a sense of wonder, and you label the source of your pleasure as God. That makes sense to me. It's just that for me "God" is encumbered by so many dubious religious characteristics and human assigned attributes that I can't free up the word. I love learning that you do all these little mind things, too. It is nice to know. I always see you as quite intimidatingly confident in your beliefs and I feel wimpy. :)
