The reason I wanted to write something was to say exactly what you penned here: "Close don't count." This morning I was feet from becoming another statistic on I-90 because a deer decided to jump over a barrier and run across in front of me. Somehow, I started slowing down just before I spotted the brown creature up ahead and I had all I could do to slow down enough to avoid hitting it. I was certainly taken care of by my "higher self" or as you noted, an "aspect of myself that I am not specifically conscious of." It's amazing the things that flashed through my mind at that moment, as if my life might suddenly come to an unexpected end. Interestingly enough, I just read a section in the "Nature of the Psyche" last week where Seth talks about humans finding a bit of drama or stress to perform a cleansing of sorts, and I wonder if we seek out these near misses for those purposes. - jhmerry4 Sat, 18 Sep 2010 21:32:17 +0100
