I was walking back from philosophy class. I more than likely was sleep deprived and after contemplating many philosophical theories I felt as though I was in a seen in a scene in the movie <em>The Matrix</em> where the world just rippled in front of me and I had as Jules (Samuel L. Jackson) said in <em>Pulp Fiction</em> a "moment of clarity". Yet was it all really clear to me? Feel fortunate that you had this experience. Most people don't "think". Have you concluded anything since? :) This reminds me of a day I had in college. I was walking back from philosophy class.

But I was reading about <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yin_yang" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Yin and Yang</a>, and it basically pinpointed exactly what I was thinking. I'm considering looking into Taoism.. just to expand my mind. I haven’t necessarily come to any conclusions, which would be nice.

Thanks! I read part of one of the Dalai Lama's books, it was interesting. I enjoy pulling aspects from various religions that relate to me or that I believe in and applying them to my own life. Sort of like sewing my own religion quilt :D Awesome! Thanks! I read part of one of the Dalai Lama’s books, it was interesting.
