Those who follow Alice

As I was sitting around and pondering just how life never turns out the way you thought it would as a kid, and when your a kid everyone thinks its cute how a little boy will sitting there daydreaming and dreaming up their own fantasies of what their life will be when they grow up.  When your an adult however with your head in the clouds your branded a loser and often times you are.  For instance someone pursuing their dreams of doing whatever, in my case being a writer/author, and when others see you pursuing these dream they think you should grow up and start focusing on becoming an adult and face reality,  get a 9 to 5 job, and settle for the life that's right in front of you.  Much like in Alice and Wonderland stop chasing white rabbits down rabbit holes, and focus on the material world which surrounds you. I find myself wondering have people ever followed this door within a door, within a door, within a door, to the end to see where dreams have led people.

When you start unlocking your mind and pursuing thoughts they can be as entertaining as playing with Twiddle-Dee and Twiddle-dum, as contradictory as celebrating your unbirthday with the March Hare and Mad Hatter, even as vexing as trying to solve the riddles of the Cheshire Cat, or as simple of an solution as given to you by The Caterpillar. If you slow down you begin to realize that not just the things that are that matter in life, but also the things that are not.  Breaking things down you begin to see that seemingly complex things are very simple and cut from the same cloth as the simple things.  Your head begins to spin as you see why certain things are and why others are not.  The Puzzling Puzzle of what life really is begins to fall apart into simple elements and ingredients you begin to find yourself and how your fit into the whole of it. When your done with this journey you will have been everywhere yet nowhere at all, and be all the better for it.

You see while living, working, breathing, in the material world is important, Nothing has more ability to change your life and the lives of others than a dream.  In the Material world our actions can forge and create something new, however only in astral form  can these things we forged be given meaning. To all of you who follow Alice I salute you, however make sure all your actions are not lost in the rabbit hole.
