Oh yeah, I remember that paragraph...pg 198? Yes?

The Thing about phase two is the Loneliness I experience sometimes- since, I'm the only one here,right?
still, I think once you've "crossed" there's really no going back; not really. You can "pretend" you believe all this--that the "world" is real,but deep down you know you're just jiving yourself, albeit enjoying the ride....since I read Busting loose, I've been fearless in a strange way.

I quit my job last week---without a net. Let's see how phase 2 I am now! Oddly, I'm not scared...I won't say I'm Thrilled about it either, but If this would have happened before BL, I'd have been freaking out right now.

That's one take away I got from BL: That ultimately, nothing can hurt us, ever.(just like the Plastic bag scene at the end Of "American Beauty")
Perfect

Peace,
Lodestar
