   smile, here at ADC we're acutely aware of the daily up's & downs of the   
   waking world and their news etc, not because we like it or are   
   particularly involved in it, but because we've effectively stepped-back   
    from it all, enough anyway, to be here but not-here at the same time ;)   
      
   confused? yeah well so are we by now haha... coz in reality the world is a   
   very confusing place and people have apparently made all SORTS of things   
   of it, most of it total bs! be this outta cultural beliefs or personal   
   beliefs, or just any old whack-a-doodle beliefs: it doesn't really seem to   
   matter??   
      
   that in THAT world you'd better get-on the 'belief-train' boy about   
   'something' or you ain't goin' nowhere!?   
      
   but then ya know... maybe life ISN'T just about believing in different   
   shit?   
      
   that maybe it's actually more about just: being here! (my fav peter   
   sellers movie btw)   
      
   that ya don't HAVE to stuff it all into some BOX or another to appreciate   
   things: one can appreciate it all just as it 'is'   
      
   perforce from which pov the rest of humanity (and all their obsessive   
   beliefs/concerns) appear totally insane haha...   
      
   which, make no mistake: they really are! LOL   
      
   totally bezonkers mate, off their freakin' trolleys the lot of 'em haha...   
      
   i mean, they even have 'wars' over WHAT they believe ffs???   
      
   and it don't get MUCH nuttier than that huh :))))   
      
   that what we humans ultimately need to do (to paraphrase tim leary) is to   
   turn-on (to reality as it is), tune-in (to all the bs they've made of the   
   world), and then drop the fuck out and just go do your own damn peaceful   
   thing!   
      
   iow: to be here but not here, involved but not actually involved: an   
   observer in life rather than a participant... and if there's anything else   
   to learn (and there is) it'll all come to you in time provided you're not   
   sooo involved in something ELSE you miss it...   
      
   peace :)
