It always annoys me to hear theologians on television debate things like creationism. I just saw this again.
When will the world understand the notion of multiple realities?! There are an infinite number of equally valid slices through the same one pie. Each tells its own story. Western science, Yin/yang theory, 5 elements…. there is no end to it.
This is not to say that all perspectives are correct. It is possible to be just plain wrong. But the interconnected nature of existence affords an infinite number of angles of approach. You are you and I am me. We are separate. at the same time, we are both the same one thing, The Unified Field. We are One. Two valid realities. Newton, Einstein, on and on.
If people took a step back to understand the big picture first, they would stop fighting to defend their little picture.
We live in a reality continuum. Why is that so difficult to grasp?

Everyone has idealized notions. This is a good time to ask yourself what your notions of the ideal Thanksgiving look like. And then remember that it is different for everyone.
For some, it is family joining around the kitchen table, preparing the feast, with loved ones in the other room playing scrabble. For others, it is a day at the football game or watching television.
It is no wonder that it is a time when some feel melancholy. No one seems to have the exact same ideal notion as you. It seems everyone’s notion is that everyone else fits perfectly into his own personal ideal notion. Then they are disappointed.
Look deeper.
Thanksgiving is a time to let go and relax into the depth of your being… that which is pure satisfaction, and that which loves unconditionally. We all share the same one humanity. Your friends and loved ones join you on a level that transcends idealized notions. It is the level of universality. The power of Thanksgiving dwells there. With the attention of so many on that level, Thanksgiving becomes a profoundly healing and evolutionary time for all. Having your attention on that level assures a beautiful Thanksgiving.
Get the depth right, and all else takes care of itself.
This one day each year is set aside to be thankful for all the good that is. It is a day to count your blessings and release your cares. Do not underestimate the powerful blessing we all receive by joining in the national group consciousness of that gratitude.
Resting into that, you will most assuredly have a wonderful Thanksgiving. Let us all be thankful for our lives and for one and other.

I do enjoy communicating with Clif. I emailed the following to him:
I didn’t read this, but the headline is fascinating…. and maybe all we need to know…
http://news.yahoo.com/farthest-known-galaxy-universe-discovered-201051161.html
To which he responded:
So there are three interesting things about this article:
1. The age of the universe is 13.7 billion years since the Big Bang. This galaxy is 13.3 billion years since the big bang.
2. The only reason we can see this galaxy is because of a gravitational lens effect of nearby galaxies theorized by Einstein. The lens magnifies the galaxy to the point we can see it.
3. As a young galaxy it’s quite a bit smaller than the Milky Way (600 light years across vs. 150,000 light years across)

My daughter drew a picture of a dragon and asked me how I liked it. I told her I felt it was very good, but the proportions were not natural. I told her about the Golden Proportions in nature. I told her it is not necessary to know the math to draw it if she can feel it.
The following seems to be a pretty good website on the subject. Even if you do not want to get into the math details, surfing this site and looking at the pics for a few minutes will likely provide some feeling and insight.

Attuning yourself to nature comes along many paths. Finding the one that is uniquely yours requires humility concurrent with inner knowing. It is the razors edge… the eye of the needle.

False dignity is pride
True dignity is humble integrity
True Integrity is alignment with the True Self
True Humility is rooted in abstraction… which lies beyond rules, codes, laws…
yet proper use of rules, codes, and laws can help light the way to True Integrity and True Humility.
Improper use of rules, codes, and laws clouds, inhibits, or even attacks The Way.
False integrity is alignment with dogma.
When the Master speaks, it immediately ceases to be what the Master said and, in time, becomes what dogma dictates.
Jesus was judged harshly by the ‘spiritual elders’ of His time.
Today is no different than then.
Reflect, learn and become great.
Truth lies within you as You.
Do not rely upon smallness. Who you are is great, grand, beyond smallness, beyond dogma, beyond simplistic… yet it is very simple.
