I just had a thought. It could be termed as wierd once anyone hears about it, as I myself found it to be a bit wierd, and was also surpirsed when it came to my mind. Is it possible...that nothing is moving anywhere, everything is as still as still can be. Just like in a movie, where the actual characters are not moving at all, but we view the frames with a speed that makes us feel that they are moving. Could life be the same? Is THIS what seers meant when they spoke about the world being an illusion? That we are not actually moving, or eating, or walking, or speaking, but we only FEEL like we are doing things, when in actuality we are just there...the frames are already set. Then what meaning does it give to life? Or are there alternate frames available, which we could take. For example, when we are at crossroads, we could take either of the roads. Frames for both the roads are already set...it all depends on which road we take. Again on choosing one road, there would be another set of crossroads to take on the road that we previously chose. So is it all about choosing what you want? If it is so, then is it really possible, that NOTHING is impossible? We could literally choose ANY thing for our own life! But again, is it so simple? If it is, then what could be stopping us from doing what we want, living the life that we like? Is it our past conditioning, which makes us choose the same paths over and over again? Which makes us think that we have no control over what happens in our life?
Any comments are welcome.

Your description of life being a set of frames is very apt.. Life does feel like a big chart that one sees in stats classes.. Like a decision tree with multiple possibilities emanating from each node..
Maybe you could watch the movie, "Sliding Doors".. Its an interesting movie based on the same concept which you have just blogged.. of crossroads..
