i forget if i already responded to this with a sky shot that just <br/>
hasnt landed yet <br/>
so apologies for any eventual duplication<br/>
but i think i follow your droll observation here<br/>
& it may well be worth doubling down on in any case<br/>
<br/>
for either there simply are no accidents<br/>
& it is therefore folly to miscredit seatbelts or wars or anything <br/>
else with what is actually our own power as thinkers & thus as <br/>
creators of our lives & destinies<br/>
or else we & our thought arent quite so divine as i imagine<br/>
<br/>
i mean<br/>
which is it<br/>
<br/>
whatever happens<br/>
if it happens to you<br/>
you can take credit for creating it<br/>
<br/>
or <br/>
you are a victim of happenchance<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
& which of these alternatives feels better<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
so why would & how could anyone hurt themselves<br/>
on a seatbelt or a boundary or by any other means<br/>
<br/>
well only by default <br/>
& by not realizing the power of their own thought<br/>
nor the reliability of their feeling reactions to their thought <br/>
as a true index & sextant of their own actual safety or peril<br/>
