Horoscope

My horoscope for this week reads:" Belief is the end of intelligence, says philosopher Robert Anton Wilson. The moment you become attached to an opinion or theory, no matter how good or true or beautiful it might seem, you're no longer fully open to the mysteries that life brings you. Your perceptiveness wanes and your understanding shrinks. This is always important to keep in mind, of course, but especially so this week. A wave of raw truth is headed your way, and yet you will miss it completely unless you take a vacation from your beliefs about the way the world works."

If I spend my whole life believing that the Lord is my savior and everything is planned, good or bad, then what else will my mind ever be able to comprehend? I'm limiting my brain's potential.
As I was watching Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy, last night, I found myself thinking the same thing. It's fun to think of all that possibility could be out there, or that other galaxies created Earth as an artistic project. (And I know I need to read the book--or even finish the movie--for a more complete idea.) But as soon as I found myself getting carried away in other people's imaginations I reminded myself of evolution and the scientific reality that is my world.
So as much as I want to firmly believe in God, perhaps my path is only limiting my brain and heart from seeing other amazing possibilities?
