Is it your suggestion that I was compelled to make the sand circles by Forces Outside my own thought? Either from extraterrestrial efforts at communication or the drum circle down on the mall? That confessed hoaxters of crop circles were likewise compelled to undertake their geometric hobby? Or is it the creation of circular geometric structures of unusual size that produces variations in naturally occuring energies and/or "psychic vibrations"?

I'm convinced it was my idea, concieved and executed by my thought, my creativity. To believe otherwise would call into question my own belief in free-will, and the awesome abilities of the human brain. And that nothing was created in the process other than curiosity, humor, and a natural attraction to mathmatically produced patterns.

I suppose this is what bothers me about ideas that humans could not have invented the transistor, or built the pyramids, or the lines of Nazca, without the help of outside powers. We really are quite inventive, and don't need any other beings to help us out. I feel the same about nature and natural forces. There are those that believe that outside forces are required for the development and evolution of life on earth. Old Gaia is completely capable of creating us and all we know on this lovely little planet. Don't underestimate her, or us for that matter.
