LOL!!! I just love, love, love the way your mind works sqrl. I must confess though that this post makes my mind a bit squirrelly. I understand the concept your talking about, especially when it comes to movies. Some of you may know that I am a rabid movie fan and the reason is because I can suspend my disbelief and live vicariously through the actor or actors I'm watching. I'm allowing myself to experience what they are experiencing. If I don't, I consider it a bad movie...they must make me believe what I'm seeing is true by their ability to "be it" on the screen.
Okay, now, when it comes to my 3d world, well, it becomes a bit more difficult for me to suspend my beliefs. I tend to think of things in a very black and white form. I do see the downside to this thinking, but my reason, I think, for being this way is because it is more simplistic. I've mentioned before that I live a very simplistic lifestyle. Why? Because on the inside I'm very complicated. So I compensate for that in my external world. In someof my posts sqrl, we've confronted my issues of being so rigid in my thinking and "beliefs" about meds. And I'm better for confronting that belief and loosening my grip on that belief. But I never would have done that on my own had YOU not gently and kindly guided my thoughts to a different way of seeing things. So in there lies my dilema, how do I suspend belief when it never even occurs to me to do so? But, and here is where I get so complicated...I can much more easily do this for others because I'm more objective, there's a distance there from the issue that is not MY issue. See what I mean? I personally am too deeply wrapped around my beliefs, to the point of being cemented in them. Okay, when it comes to my faith, I absolutely will not compromise. I know what I know what I know. However, when it comes to the physical, emotional and intellectual...I'm willing to be challenged sqrl. I don't mean challenged in the negative sense. I mean challenged to step outside myself and be willing to view things from a different perspective. But I'll need help...I must learn to crawl before I can walk and walk before I run.

This has been a rather long winded response to your post sqrl, to you and others I apologize if I seem to just be rambling a bunch of nonesense. I swear, in my head it sounded profound, LOL.

Thoughts anyone?
