Wow, this is the closest we have come to deciphering ( maybe) what life is all about.  I would love to hear what Dr. Robert Lanza has to say about this.  His theory is that after we die, we have a stairway of choices to return to in life.  I hope you enjoy this, it is a definite for me.

The White Nile: Alan Moorehead: 9780060956394: Amazon.com: Books   How interesting, I was riding my stationary bike, and bored I leaned over to the bookcase and pulled out a book I had read years ago.   I am enjoying it again!  This is a no no with me, usually, because I like to move on to new books, new adventures...except the Seth books, I like to read them again, pick them up and pop through them for new thoughts...have you ever read Seth...by Jane Roberts.  It is amazing, because a lot of what Seth spoke about is , well you know...

Sting - It's Probably Me (Feat. Eric Clapton)

I had to listen to this because I love Clapton, and Sting.  I can't help but notice how much Sting sounds like Rod Stewart, or does Rod Stewart sound like Sting....do you notice that similarity in their voices.

Perry Como - "Till The End of Time" (1945)
