   ### - no need to be quite so cynical about it heh, it is what it is, and   
   is the place where everyone starts-off from for example...   
      
   and what it 'is' (right now anyway) is the eye of the needle, i.e., the   
   place where there's no perceptual left and no right, no good & no bad, no   
   right/wrong, no heaven/hell etc etc etc...) ALL those things were just in   
   our head: imagined realities, just like vinny suggested they are! :)   
      
   iow: one wakes up one day to find yourself half-way across Niagara Falls,   
   on a tightrope with no fuckin' safety net heh... (so don't be lookin' down   
   lol)   
      
   and yet perfectly balanced... such is our position (in life) whether we   
   ever realise it or not!   
      
   everything else is just plain bs that we made up ourselves and 'learned'   
   to relate to ;)   
      
   put a big 'X' on this spot to mark it anyway, coz chances are you'll drift   
   back off to sleep again in a minute and turn back into the asshole you   
   (and everyone else) normally are whenever you/they slip into believing in   
   either heaven or hell (or the gop & the demos coz it's all the same thing   
   ultimately) as being something real...   
      
   if you would 'remain' on this spot, however, you'd eventually notice   
   another trail almost completely hidden/overgrown from disuse... a much   
   older road... one the intellectual branch of the hippies discovered   
   (re-discovered actually coz it's very old) and were courageous enough to   
   explore... many of them dropping-out at that point to go live in the wilds   
   of canada and/or whatever/wherever...   
      
   some, however, didn't leave, opting to remain within society hoping to try   
   and work with it from within to try improve it some...   
      
   (in cc's terms, for example, this marks the spot where the human form   
   flees but keeps returning until it eventually flees forever... thus an   
   increasing sense of objectivity or 'detachment' becomes the overall mood   
   of this spot, so stick with it... you've found the midway point)
