When we worry, we’re trying to grab onto the theoretical sinking anchors of the future, and we’re trying to pinpoint everything, match the wheel of our mind against the wheel of the universe. But actually, we are *not* matching the wheel of the universe if we’re not living in the now.
The Philosophers Stone
We actually create our universe within possibility boundaries. Pattern recognition can help one; if you juxtapose one pattern and try to overlay meaning atop, for instance, the narrative in your head or the conversations that you’re listening to in a restaurant or a social gathering you can use that as stochastic resonance to discern a new meaning, or a deeper meaning. It’s like a meditation stone. You can think, “How does this stone fit in to the context of my life?”
Material–it’s not material–but if material is a holographic projection onto a 3D record player–onto a 3D record player–then what are we but little bits on the record? Goodness is not a centrifuge. Everything is everywhere.
Puppet muses over fairness of universe, omens, portents, food, worry, decisions, aliens.
Some of my alien friends:
Captain Zirkon of the Royal Fartship Blapula

Meep
Woop
Ow-ee
Skeletor
Zrrkm (Zrrkm II, not to be confused with Zrrkm Il)
Ee-ow-wah
Puppet thinks about Palestinians, demonstrates the literalist interpretation of signs, philosophizes, etc. “The philosophy of nonviolence has been keeping our amoebas down.”
Puppet considers marginal accounts and entreats aliens to take it away.
