    I thought Quantum Entanglement was a property of reality, rather than an action. But it could be both. Crazy semantics.

    I am veering strongly towards the opinion that reality itself is a direct function of our individual and collective actions. Even the ultimate One Infinite Creator is a state of becoming, in my opinion, which makes our experiences and learning greatly sacramental.

    Good to have you back, Ruth. Much love to you, dear sister.
    I have been guilty of being domestically abusive myself. I suffer from guilt, internal pain and shame, because of the kind of abuse I have heaped in my home. It has mainly been against my dear mother, though I did not think much about it then. I thought I was justified since I was the one in pain. I thought I was the victim and kept heaping abuses, not realizing what I was doing. What I did was wrong and unacceptable. I have no excuses to offer. I only wish my mother had enough self-respect to take a stand against my unacceptable behaviors. Heart-felt and honest communication is the only route out of domestic violence. Seek help if you have to. Say NO to domestic violence. Be aware of your rights for no one has to undergo abuse in this world. Abusers will not understand if you do not make it clear that you are an individual and have your own rights. Unfortunately, I know this from being a perpertrator. However, I resolve to be a normal and a good man to my mother, using only decent communication. I repent before the living ALL spirit of the universe, as it is the witness.

    I appreciate your openness Confused. I've been more the quiet type when there are hostilities between my mother and I. She gets angry a lot, and in turn this makes me angry. She is often condescending to me, and I've pretty much put up with it for awhile. So it wears on me. When I open her up to this, it just makes her angrier. I'm not motivated to do chores or work to help her out because of our differences. So it is the perfect chance for me to show love. To her, I'm inadequate and she's called me incompetent to others.

    Hi, GW, thank you for your post. Smile

    During my childhood, I used to read the comic series based on the fictional famous character, Tintin, created by Herge. I used to be fascinated by the series. Now, I have again rediscovered those comics after over two decades. As I read some of the books again, I realize that the essence of the character of Tintin is that he always behaves morally right, but with commonsense, in spite of grave misbehaviors or provocations from others. Tintin seems to epitomize the thought-form that -- "It is not within my power to change how an other behaves with me or in a given situation. What I can exercise control and will over is how I behave in any situation. I have power over only my behavior."

    From re-reading Tintin books again, I have discovered the most simple truth that Free will = Personal responsibility over one's actions. I wish I had understood that most simple truth many years ago, thereby not committing some of the gross abuses that I have done. I would have spared myself unbearable guilt, shame and fear. At least, I would have been able to live with myself. Now, I find difficult to be in my own skin, for I fear my own self.

    Each one has power over only our own actions, thoughts and attitudes, GW. If I had not committed some of the terrible abuses that I had, I would have enjoyed the world every moment because of inherent innocence. We owe it to ourselves to lead a life of justice and compassion, for it brings ultimate fulfillment. It is not a favor done to anybody. That said, some relationships are however so untenable that they just have to be disengaged. For example, my relationship with my father is a case in point. That disengagement too, is an act of compassion, for it brings peace and respite to all involved. All these are not easy and human behavior is unpredictable. Given the fact that we all carry various uncertainties and fears (like finances), many of our relationships turn poisonous and toxic due to lack of escape routes. Whatever the status of a relationship, I have understood that violence and abuses have no place, whether we direct it to others or it is directed to us.

    Barun Biswas -- A tale of STO and courageous self-sacrifice
    Sutia mourns its 'guardian angel'


    A whole region rose in anger at the death of the man, who braved the most violent and frightening of odds to protect a community of terrorized women, who were raped on purpose before their family members. However, the example of the man only tells us that violence is never the answer to violence. Only principled resistance based on non-violent and dignified behavior can bring change, when even all hopes are lost. My tributes to Biswas.

    Thank you too Shemaya. That you love Confused makes me feel loved, as we are all One.
    Confused, I confess that I don't check out a lot of your vids. The occasional one that
    resonates I definitely do watch, but usually haven't made the effort to view them all.

    I confess too that I am usually too afraid to stand up for what is right in my own belief. I don't fear death itself, but the process that leads to death.

    I did recently watch the movie Tintin. I hadn't realized it was a comic before. It was enjoyable. The animation was quite good. Makes me wish I had studied animation.

    One more thing, GW, I just wanted to tell you that if you are crying over any lost opportunities or regrets of your life, I am crying along with you as well, my brother. As a carrier of universal love, you hold a wonderful talisman within you to offer gifts of purpose to those whose paths you cross.
