I believe the universe gives you what you want, as long as you're in the right frame of mind to receive it. And it wasnt but a month ago that I was thinking...

You know what, I'm sick of this. Where *is* he? Can I please just have him now? I'm sick of waiting. And if it doesn't happen soon, then I'm just going to restart*.

Result: The universe still works as I expect.


*Belief in reincarnation is the key to understanding this statement.

We all create our own reality, and I refuse to believe that poverty-stricken people live lives of unending and abject misery. There's joy to be had for everyone, everywhere, regardless of privelege or circumstance.

we all create our own reality?

Utter crap darling.

If we are fortunate, we get to create bits of it, but vast areas lie beyond our control.

love ya ;-)

Are you not, right now, placing yourself in a frame of mind to see the world one particular way? And does the world not, in response, appear that way to you? You have created your own reality. The universe has given you what you want. (By 'want' I mean that which you believe in, that which you expect, rather than that which you may wish for from time to time.)

Reality exists, with us or without us to perceive it. We don't create it. We do have some power over certain aspects of it, but not as much as we'd like to believe.

That is a very peculiar definition of 'want'.

We're never going to agree on this one.

Love ya ;-)

It's the tree falling in the woods argument isn't it, and it can't be proven either way. Does reality exist if there's no-one there to see it? Does our own personal reality cease when we do? At which point it becomes a faith-based decision. I happen to believe that my particular dimension of this reality ceases to exist when I do, even if the echoes of it's intersection with others go on.

So I guess I'm agreeing in principle: *a* reality exists, but since my intersection with it is all I ever get to experience, in any scenario that matters *my* reality ceases to exist when I do.
