Matrix Inside Out
Perhaps our bodies are all walking around down here, and our minds are sitting together somewhere else entirely. If I am a great physical distance away from someone here, on this rocky earth, perhaps I am right "next" to them there, and can thus communicate or be influenced/influence more directly. That would explain a lot of things.

Well there is a school of thought that says that we are all connected via a spiritual consciousness but that our egos - our desire to be individuals - prevent us from tapping into it and harnessing it's true power. What we view as coincidences are really manifestations of that collective consciousness.
Then again, maybe everyone else is tapped in and just keeping it a secret from me so that they don't have to deal with me more than is absolutely necessary. I don't know. I'm going to have to start drinking more coffee (not to mention become a lot smarter) before I attempt to have conversations about metaphysics.
Something in my brain (such that it is) becomes triggered by the comments of other people. It tends to make me feel closer to them than I really am. When I read the comments of Jeanne of Sweden I feel pensive. When I read the comments of Joe I feel stirred toward intellectual rambling. When I read the comments of Steve I feel comfortable. When I read the comments of Festinog I simply wet myself.
Brendar,
How do you know how close you are?
Boy do I hope that is pensive good, and not pensive bad.
Joe,
That giving up of the self bit has always been my stumbling stone.
Steve,
Joe is a closet intellectual, so don't embarass him, or write home to his parents, or anything like that:)
Steve, I don't follow your paradox. What do you mean? That the mind is part of the body? What chain? The one of reasoning? I had a tooth pulled out yesterday, and the newest findings say that losing teeth is connected to senility, but I didn't expect it to set in this quickly.
Steve,
I think Brendar meant comfortable like a cozy cup of tea in a welcoming room, not comfortable-unchallenged.
You left out if reality is :)
