Guest guest Posted May 18, 2000 Report Share Posted May 18, 2000 hello everyone! here is a story that i wrote for another list...i present it here for you enjoyment and comments...even if it could be slightly " off topic " !! ---------------------------------- hello again...you all. here is part two of my personal encounters with the hidden magic of daily life. for years and year..and still do to some extent...i have had this small problem. seems that everytime that i would have some food, in a public setting...at the very first moment of that first bite...someone near by would hone in and ask me something to interrrupt that taste! as if he wanted that first taste too! It got where i had to look around the whole resturant to make sure that i actually COULD eat that first bite without at the very same microsecond...having to talk to someone who pops up from his table to ask me something... [i finally had a theory...that for 50,000 years, the human race, in every family home, always sacrificed the first bit of any meal...to put some of it on the family alter for the Ancestors to eat...FIRST...before anyone else would eat...] story. one year i moved back to my home town and i began to go every morning to a cafe where they made their own Doughnuts....very very good donuts. they had a long counter of about 15 seats...the local farmers and the townees would come about 9 am....coffee and donuts...this place had been " famious " for years... so i began to daily come. but i had trouble...i never never could enjoy that very first bite of that donut!! seemed that AT the nano-second that the donut bite would rush to my brains taste bud awareness...some person next to me would turn to me to engage in intense talk...the next bite was never as strong...it was as if he got that first bite! a week or so later...i came in on a very busy Sunday 9 am...the counter was full. i sat by myself at one of the corner tables...alone. here comes my donut and coffee...as the waitress walks away, i had a small 'fear and trembling' as now i sat alone with my donut and i was afraid to try to eat it!! i was afraid that someone would interrupt my first bite! so..... i tried an experiement. i began to lift that donut slowly towards my face: but i stopped the movement and then held the donut still as i counted to " three " ...at the count of three...that donut was SUPPOSSED to be in my mouth for that first taste-bite. i watched all the people to see if anything was to happen. i was SHOCKED folks!!! all of a sudden...ALL the 15 people got up from the counter as if their butts were welded together as one organism...like of a flock of birds taking off all at once... then they all spun around hyperactively, intensely,emotionally...all of them...including the dozen people who were behind them, buying the Sunday papers!! they spun around and around in circles, bumping into each other. in about twenty seconds everyone calmed down......but there was now NO ONE on the counter seats.... so people...as the engineers say... " if it works in the physical world...it is real " !! i have an image for what transpired here...it was as if someone held a can of dogfood and spoon over a dog bowl with ten very very hungry dogs around it and they know that this can means " food " . but there is nothing IN this can...but i go through the gestures of putting the food in the dish....all the dogs get hyper as they are not getting this food. moral....the only conclusion that i can draw from this: that these people came to EAT MY DONUT...they all arranged their day to come here FOR that....all done unciounsciously...and that they were not getting what they came for when i DENIED them of it by holding back my eating of that donut!! !!!! my theroy....that we all do everything as a group and we ARE social animals! thus anything that you do affects EVERYONE that you know...and anything... that someone who knows you does...affects you in turn! there is always only ONE coversation in resturants....everyone there is in mutual talk. betcha every sex organism that you have with your lover or mate, flashes out to everyone that you know... all ya have to do to prove this is to ask any Mother of a ten year old Daughter...as the daughter skins her knee in gym class at school...mama knows right away..at her home! to me...THIS is real Magic!! i am beginning to believe that even my thoughts and feelings ...even when i keep them to myself...they all influence everyone around me... ---and where " groupthinks " have real power to affect one's life, UNLESS one becomes aware of this and takes counter measures against this... as if...if the whole office staff were to BELIEVE that their boss is " sickly " ...his health could be affected!! well...i have used enough bytes for today on this subject...i could write twenty pages of theory on WHY this magic exists...i wanted to, here, basicly just write to you all my little story!! what do ya think of it?? freestone ===== seen on a bridge overpass, in Rochester, ny 1970 .... " AND THE TRUTH WILL MAKE YOU LAUGH " ! Freestone freestonew@... __________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
