Einstein showed how all our perspective is relative. As an adult, we can see that our childhood experience showed everything to be huge. We should remember that, even as adults, our perspective is influenced greatly by who and what and where we are. Influenced and limited.

Which makes me wonder ... what do we not see now?

[moz333]

Thank you :) It's nice to see others who get it....everything in this world and beyond is subject to perception.

German Physicist Werner Heisenberg stated "Not only is the universe stranger than we think but it is stranger than we can think".

Think on that one for a bit and it will do your noodle!

2. Gigantic:

3. Topical:
   One of the reasons these Natural Laws are not better known is because the Christians, the same ones that went on "witch" hunts burning, staking, and slaughtering half of the Europeans population of woman, targetted for their knowledge of plant medicines and powers of the mind normal folk do not access, have sought to keep this knowledge in the dark with sword, cross, gibbet, and a bible in hand everytime the book has become a topical issue.

4. Economical:
   Bring light to the darkness would be the economical disaster the Capitalists, those who run our societies while seated on their million dollar porch drinking martinis.
