We do not have access to "the big picture/puzzle" because the dynamic balance of probability must be maintained if our reality is to continue to develop "naturally".
Does that help make any sense of the experience?

Damn!.. I like it.. the D.B.O.P!.. but I think (believe) that somehow in someway that our current state of reality has been "edited", hence the reasoning for feeling like a piece of the puzzle is "so close", but still not quite within reach, if that make sense.. Something's happened, and I just can't put my finger on it.. At times I wake in the middle of the night, walk outside and look to the skies in sheer darkness, up at the stars, just looking for an answer/sign, and for the life of me I don't know why............smh.
So to anyone else that has these inner feelings, please explain, because as of right now I don't know if I'm the only one that feels this sensation on a daily basis, or if there are indeed others with the same understanding/feelings..... thx!

"Poor writers write books with few primary characters. The better the writer, the more characters there are and the more they are essential to the story development."
I shall pin this statement to my wall and giggle whenever I look up from counting my number of characters I've included to ensure that I'm writing a successful book.
Every hear of a guy named Hemingway and his book The Old Man and the Sea?

Ever since I have been conscious I have thought there is "something different" about myself compared to others. And the difference is right in that first sentence. I exist, and so does everyone else, but everyone else is an "other" because the Universe centers on me. I DO NOT mean that in an egotistical sense meaning I consider myself more pure or smarter than anyone else. That is clearly not the case as in many respects I am inferior to many people I have known. I mean it in a more technical sense. The Universe does NOT begin with you even though you may think it does. It begins with me. End of story.
I've have attempted to explain this may times, and I've never succeeded. It boggles my mind that no one else appears to feel this way or think about this. It's like they have no comprehension of the issue here, though a couple have been patronizing or tried to placate me about it--hoping I would just shut up, I think. I used to believe that in time whatever this was all about would be shown to me and the path would be clear. But I'm old enough now and close enough in age to my life expectancy that I'm thinking that's not going to happen and that I will be carrying this issue into the next realm unresolved. I don't think about this all the time, but it is a definite constant.
