I agree it is a big thing and I love the purple elephant example! Thanks for the heads ups!

It seems to me that people have a "normalizing mechanism". If something happens once, it's a miracle. If it happens twice or more it becomes "normal". That would mean that each and every detail of existence is composed of miracles, and the reason we don't twig on them is we see them more than once.

If we went through successive states of amnesia, we'd be filled with joy all the time, like children. Maybe that's what "Ye must become as children" means. That means I would have to give up cynicism to get joy.
