Yes you probably guessed right and it isn't a trick question. If you were that ignorant kid placed in the drivers seat I doubt you would turn off the auto pilot. Maybe if the real pilot said it was ok and that he would make sure everything was ok.
We all realize that while some day we may have great responcibilities even as children we knew what was too much for us. Now I dare to tell you this because I believe you are all willing to hear it but like the Lotus Sutra some things aren't meant for everyone.
There is the lesser vehicle I usually work in but you are a different group so even though this can cause doubt and loss of faith in the masses you make me feel I can tell you what you may consider my delusion of grandiosity.
I was in this state of a sort of nirvana in which I knew everything somehow. I questioned if my thinking was sound as it seemed insane that I could do anything. I reasoned that if I could do anything then could I move a mountain? I don't remember how but I quickly figured out how to do it and it wasn't with shovels. Didn't want to move any mountains so I thought of something else I shouldn't be able to do. Making it rain seemed impossible but in a flash I knew that it would be very easy to make it rain as hard as I wanted right then. Suddenly a thought flashed in my mind so strong.
Make it rain? I thought with horror! I realized that having seen the perfection of GOD's system that the auto pilot was on. Even having considered making it rain which might not have done any real harm seemed akin to Blasphemy to me. If you see a work of art revered for hundreds of years like the statue David would you change it? Would you mark up the Mona Lisa? Of course not unless you were a vandal.
Perhaps I was just flipped out that night but I knew many things after it that I had no business knowing. That was a supreme gift but I had been seeking this experience, meditating and studying. I had been praying a lot too and that day I stopped on my way home from school in a small deserted church. This 15 year old was serious and prayed for enlightenment sincerly and I remember humbling myself to God. That night it happened.
The New Year thought from me is this. If you worry don't. The universe is composed of infallable laws that ensure our progress. Life isn't a thing that can be stopped in this universe. Everything is perfect really and we don't have to do a thing but continue to learn and teach others the truth.
I agree that Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo is the best gift we can give so that is my New Year's Resolution. To spread the word. To give hope. To help the masters of the past and present accomplish the next step in our grand adventure.
DON'T WORRY...BE HAPPY! Bog and the Mrs. love you all!
