You might think that I made this connection, of
Lincoln's dream, and Bush's flight landing on
the U.S.S. Lincoln, but no. It is a more eerie
feeling than that.
I was trying to locate a travel agency in Lincoln, Mass,
and accidentally came upon a link that said something
about "Lincoln" and "paranormal". Out of curiosity, I clicked
on it.
When I read something about a ship in President Lincoln's
dream, I vaguely remembered that there was a "USS Lincoln",
so tried searching for that.
I didn't remember at all that this was the ship that Bush
had landed on. Yet, somehow, when I see it, it doesn't
surprise me.
Maybe I remembered it on some unconscious
level, but I run into weird things like this approximately every other
Tuesday, some of which seems beyond the explanation
of unconscious memories.
I think it is perhaps a dream, a vision trying to give a message:
the style of politics and international relations that is going
on today is leading us somewhere, and it isn't where
we want to go.
I had already pasted the part about Lincoln's dream into a message,
starting to prepare a newsgroup post, and was searching for the rest
to go with it. I had no idea what I what I would find.
I just knew that something else would be there, relevant
to today's events, and that it wouldn't take more than
a few seconds to find.
Recently, I was vacationing in Vermont. The sight
of the hills reminded me of "the hills are alive",
from the Sound of Music. I was leafing through some
CDs that my partner had brought, and found that CD.
I said that we should put in on, then looked up a few
seconds later and saw a sign pointing to the Von Trapp
family lodge. I wasn't expecting that.
I had been talking several times in the previous week
how life seemed like it wasn't real, and was just
a holgram, or something. I start talking to the
woman who ran the B&B where we were staying,
and suddenly , she pops up with the statement,
"The world is a hologram". I'm glad that I'm not
the only one who thinks so.
It is like a kaleidoscope. I think that the interconnectedness
of things isn't so much like ESP- it is like little bits of glass
that seem to move in unison, but are really just seeming
to do so, because they are reflections of each other.
In August of 2001, I was talking at length about the dangers
of a hijacked airliner crashing into the Pentagon. Sometimes,
these random notions do turn out to mean something.
You have no idea. I suppose that perhaps even the gloomy
things that happen might not be so bad, if life is just a
crazy dream of some kind.
