America, Avalon, whatever it is called, was around in idea long before Columbus. If the reality of what is going on doesn't measure up to the idea, it might be our intuition is missing something just because we usually miss quite a bit.

Two things, one on a current thread:

1. One of two: reincarnation: if time is an illusion, then reincarnations might not be serial, but parallel. Other lives, now, all of them.

2. Two of two: Merica is an old name for Venus the Evening Star. The Western Star, same star as the one over Bethlehem.

3. Three of two: One and two are total speculations for entertainment purposes only.

Speculations have their place, smoke has its generating source.

I remember reading the story of a man who believed that an ancient city existed despite the serious doubts amongst the "learned men and scientists of the day" pooh poohed as myth....until this man uncovered the ancient city of Troy!

Now for thousands of years the concept of the divine seems to have existed despite the serious doubts amongst the "learned men and scientists of the day".....

I will allow that the pairing of the two examples above may be a non sequitor....but a famous sage was quoted to have stated once"Seek and ye shall find, ask and ye shall receive, knock and the door shall be opened unto thee...."!

Hey even if the "dog barks up a wrong tree, he can still lift his leg and take a leak on it!"
