And the point was?

The reason I posted the Desiderata is this is the philosophy that I try to put into my day to day living. But, I think sometimes we can think to much about everything, but there has to be something more and something else. I am quite sure we are not meant to know the answers to the universe - not yet - but there is certainly more out there than most people think. Why for instance do we only use a small fraction of our brain - what else is it capable of? I do believe in the power of being psychic, telepathic, There is no such thing as a co-incidence, I believe in fate...and in believing this you have to believe that we are only just scratching the surface of our existence. But how do we develop these abilities, the powers of the mind, and will this help us become more in tune with our soul - the very point of existence. I mentioned this to someone today and they laughed - they said they firmly believed that when you are dead you are dead and my thoughts were a comfort blanket to help me deal with death. Interesting. But its the only easy to take this view if you don't want to contemplate the rest of it - because once you start to look at the journey of the soul and its ultimate aim - you open doors to challenge lots of other thinking. You start to challenge or agree with religious teaching and have to contemplate something that we will never know, or believe in things we may never see.
