Welcome

Oct 6 21:56 UTC 1991 |
In the course of my 36 years, I've had the opportunity to make
thousands of decisons affecting the direction of my life. Most
have been the right decision, some have been wrong, and only a
few I truly regret.
We are constantly making decisions about the directions of our
lives. This is the place to talk about these issues. Careers,
marriage, family, and yes, even religion and philosophy are all
appropriate topics for this conference. I only ask that you all
keep an open mind, try not to be too dogmatic, and keep the
flames turned down low.

I always enjoyed going to the end of the Universal Reality, stepping aside,
and watching.

I've always liked going to the end of the Universal Reality, Stepping on
the brakes and making everybody pass me.

I really like that last. And you're one sick puppy.

Sick puppies are part of this 4D continuum also, and probably
have some very good, original perspectives to consider.

Mt direction in life seems to be two steps forward one step back--
and a fair number of sideways scoots, just to keep the Fates off guard. (or
am i the one who's confused?)
Anyway, I regret some of my choices, but seldom the ones my masses
of aquaintances would expect if they knew...

So people decided to head another direction? Some litle decisions,
well, decisions that I spent _little_ time making, as well as ome
little decisions by themselves, have gone awry. I haven't always
like the eventual outcome of some decisions, but in the reconstruction
it was a valuable but not disasterous experience.

Someone far wiser then myself, once said, . .The only mistaken decision is one
in which the decision yeilded no knowledge.

Have you found a direction?
Are you really directing any of your life at all?

You direct what you can and then flow with the rest.

I guess people are not interested in the items I've entered. There's
nothing I can do about it, so I'm not getting upset about it. As Yogi
Berra said, "If people don't want to come out to the ballpark, there's
nothing you can do to stop them."

Everybody makes mistakes! Constantly. And everyone makes humongous
mistakes sometimes. The trick is to make the same mistake as few times
as possible. And once it happens (know that it will!), let it go. Most
times, you would'nt even see it as a mistake unless you had a reason-
ably decent moral system. Thank whatever gods there are that you could
learn from this hideous event, file it away for next time, and don't
keep compounding it by dwelling on it.

I agree, agree, agree, agree! Also, don't dwell on other people's mistakes.
If they're obvious and the person in question is trying to solve them, the
most irritating thing in the world is to have someone else complain and harass
you about them...

You got it! And what makes the whole thing even more fun is that the choices
that proved to be the very best ones for me might very well prove to be the
worst possible direction (!) for you to take. Heck, the decision that worked
for me yesterday might never work for me again. You've got to stay flexible
and be a lot more eager to learn from other folks rather than trying to
show them the light you think you've found.

unsolicited advice is usually unheeded anyway.

I don't know, it tends to hang around and bother me, who is wondering if she
should follow the advice. Either that or it gets so on my nerves that I
am constantly thinking irritatedly about it.
