Wow, thanks Shannon for swift and great response. I wish I could respond in full but to be honest I need to read your post a couple of times to understand it well. There is a point or two that I might dispute but that's probably because I don't fully get your point yet. Maybe after several rereads I'll have some musings, I'll obviously post them here. At any rate that's a lot of stuff to throw at someone.
This whole "choose to believe" part is the hardest for me at this point. I guess it's due to either different understanding of terms we are using or me simply underestimating my ability to do it. If the latter then it's almost scary. How powerful fear must be to block this? And is there more than fear that makes it difficult to achieve? I guess you've answered it already, I just need to take my time and process it all.
It's helluva empowering thought however and a simple idea of being able to control more than I make myself believe may just have been what I needed. So thank you not only for sharing your knowledge and point of view, but also for this encouragement!
And BTW the astrology question was a rhetorical one, you needn't to answer it or simply state that I'm wrong

For not by numbers of men, nor by measure of body, but by valor of soul is war to be decided.
