No, not really Jupiter. What you are going through is called the learning process.

Yes, some things we can start in the middle (given sufficient background knowledge) but other things it is best to start at the beginning. Dah!

I have been where you are talking about. Started in the middle and realized that I didn't have a good foundation so I started over again, but at the beginning.

You're doing just fine.

Peace & Love!

I have finished thinking about your insight (for now). I had to learn about Tao, I have not been led to that path. But, I am a Zen sensei, and Zen is a path close to Tao. This does not help. My first statement about your comment is “I don’t know”.

The second statement is “all spiritual paths led to the same destination.”

Here are two tricks inspired by spiritual paths. You can win money in a bar bet with them, or defend against a horrible beating if you bet with the wrong person.

You need a piece of paper, a pencil, a ruler, scotch tape, and a teacup.

1) Mark off 1 inch from the edge, on top and bottom of the paper, on one side.

2) Draw a straight line on the paper connecting the two points from top to bottom.


3) Note that to draw a straight line from bottom to top, without retracing the original line; we must use the other side of the paper.

4) Draw a small circle, ½ inch from the edge, top and bottom.

5) Draw a parallel line 1 inch away from the first line, by measuring 1 inch from the first line, top and bottom, connect the two points. The two lines are always two inches apart, top, bottom, every point in between.

6) Mark two points on the lip of the teacup, on the opposite side of the lip. Draw the shortest line between the two points on the lip. (Hint the line must pass though the point on the bottom of the teacup.).

Bet #1 you can draw a line from one point, back to the same point, without retracing any part of the line or turning the paper over.
Solution Cut along the line that is 1 inch from the edge. Take the strip; give it a half twist, so that the two circle face each other. Tape the ends together. What you created is an object with one side. Draw a line in the middle of the strip, and see that your pencil never leaves the paper. You are drawing a circle, rather than a line.


Astral Projection is moving your awareness from one place in space to another, with no time lapse. Try twisting space with your spirit.

A circle has no starting point, no ending point.

Bet #2 you can draw two parallel lines, which intersect.

1) Solution. Take the teacup, measure I inch from each point, left or right, no difference. Draw the shortest line between the two new points on the lip. (Hint the line must pass though the point on the bottom of the teacup.)

Enter the teacup; enter a different realty, where all paths meet.

I will keep you in my mind, heart, and prayer
