DOWN THE RABBIT HOLE OVER THE RAINBOW & QUANTUM LEAP

Republished by Blog Post Promoter

 To go “Down The Rabbit Hole“ is to enter a period of chaos or confusion.  The expression is an allusion to Lewis Carroll’s Alice in Wonderland, published in 1865.

“Over the rainbow” is a state of total, irrevocable madness or delusion.  The phrase is from the film “The Wizard of Oz“, in which Dorothy is transported into another world entirely unconnected from her reality.  The film is based on The Wonderful Wizard of Oz,an American children’s novel written by author L. Frank Baum in 1900.

A “Quantum Leap” is when you find yourself in the middle of a situation where you have no idea what is going on, but everyone else around you assumes you do.

The term “quantum leap” is a reference to the TV show of the same name where the lead character is trapped in time and travels therein by leaping into the body of someone in the past, but having no idea who he is or why he is there. In order to leave the body, the lead character must figure out what “situation/conflict” must be resolved or wrong must be righted by the host body. The people around him assume he is the person whose body he occupies, so anything he does, the people around him think it is the host body doing it.

PERSONAL OPINION

SEEING THE TRUTH

The “good news” is that I have seen “the truth”.  The “bad news” is that it cannot be unseen!  However the REAL NEWS is that “the truth” for me isn’t the same as “the truth” for you.  If this is “the truth”, then “the truth” is a personal opinion.  Logically, one can observe the so-called “reality” that people call “the truth” can’t be “real” because no two people share the exact same opinion as to what “the truth” is.  Therefore, “reality” must also be a personal opinion.  So, if every person keeps their personal opinions of “the truth” to themselves we can all enjoy a perfectly pleasant “reality” believing the “the truth” is “the truth”.  So, when you “see the truth” keep it to yourself, please.  I am busy convincing myself that “my truth” is “the ONLY truth” and that My Reality is Real! (and, in case you have any doubts what is or is not “the truth”, don’t worry about it.  Just read what I’ve written.  It’s “the truth”.

Chain of Life

http://www.angelomusco.com/home/  ( artist website )

The Italian photographer, Angelo Musco, evokes the primordial essence of biological survival through his prodigeously meticulous photo shoots of hundreds of naked bodies, linked in chains and configurations that suggest procreation of the species of Man.  This is a fitting tribute and summary statement for the Spring Equinox, a time in the life cycle on Earth that invites and entices sexual interchange in nearly all species of life.  Enjoy the creation!  Enjoy the sensation!  Enjoy the myriad forms of Life!  However, do not forget that EVERY life form is animated by an eternal flame, the Spiritual Essence that is the true Source and Spark of Life.   The Spirit, animating the form IS Life!!
