Thanks Newdawn.  Yes all that stuff you haven't dealt with in a timely fashion because you've been too busy being a cult member - it is good to get it done, daunting as it is to start, it ends up feeling so much better.  And yeah, totally agree, I'd rather see what's really there.

So I am having this conversation yesterday with a bridge player, she is in her 90's, still drives her car.  There's a few of these women around here and i have to say I find them very entertaining - I think maybe it is that they are close to their young selves - but anyway so this person's name comes up and we both knew him from different places.  

He was a con-man she declares and I tell her how surprised I was when the news came out as I'd had no idea. Yes, he was very charming, she replies and somehow it gets me and I am reminded of the deceptions I have fallen for and I look at her and say it took me a long time to understand about con-men, a long time, and then I choked up, it was an emotional moment and there was such understanding in her eye as she looked at me.

So when you ask isn't it all subjective perception well yes it is but it is still perception of reality.

You can be mistaken in your beliefs about what you are perceiving of course.  That's why it's good to listen to your gut.  But it's even better to get corroboration.  

It's like the robber snails and the pippis.  They are different shapes but they have the same pretty colours on their shells.  Oh don't they look pretty I thought when I first saw the snail-shaped ones, a few among the many.  Oh it must be the male of the species I think when I see them in couples floating in the waves, but it turns out the robber snail excretes a little bit of fluid on the shell of the pippi which makes a tiny hole and then the robber snail slowly sucks it's innards out.

There used to be fields of pippis in the sand as you walked the beach but years later and still there are very few and the robber snails have almost gone too.  The robber snail needs the pippi but it's not like that for the pippi, it was just fine without it.

Yeah 5 years out, stronger than ever and thriving - seems to me that calls for champagne.  wishing you all the best and good luck with everything.  xoxox
