Hi
Maat invited me to pop over here, hope that you don't mind.
Just wanted to let you know that this forum has served a valuable esoteric purpose. Since being invited here a week ago I have been looking around and some of the current discussion has directly been a valuable shoulder, a bit like energy strands reaching out through space to where they are needed when they are needed. (Ah the romantic in me .
Not much else to say really, just wanted to let you know how powerful this forum is.
I am a bit tied up just now as I am working on "stepping up" and reskilling myself accordingly, while being ever cautious of the darker side of life, so I don't expect to post much, but just wanted to say Hi, and don't underestimate the good work that you do.

So nice to talk to you again. I read your book at a sitting.. you inspire me. Thank you. We so underestimate 'the power of one'.
And thank you for the kind words about the forum. Paul reintroduced 'the transpersonal' to me yesterday. With so few members, but all good and true, one sometimes wonders why we spend so much time feeding it.... maybe this forum is on the transpersonal level and something tells us that it is important.
I figure if it needs to be said, or needs to be asked, or needs to be wondered about, do it. This is a safe and respectful place to do these things. If posters have the courage to share the more private parts of their lives, they are allowing others to know that they are not alone in their searches. One thing I have learned in life is that if you want to make a friend - share something personal with them. Trust is what you put on a trowel
Stewart, we don't advertise this forum but it you know that some whom you meet might enjoy the discussions please feel free to invite them along, and you know you are welcome whenever you find a minute here or there. Love.

"Embarrassed"
Yikes, one sitting. I wrote it in a month it was a bit of a personal challenge.
If you ever want to get really bored let me know (same for any old known friend) and you can also have a pdf of "Our Place in the 21st Century", that took me 5 years to write and I only published it 5 years after finishing it. Hence it is now out of date but it does encapsulate my knowledge of the place of humanity back then in the first five years of this millennium. Don't feel obliged to have it, but it is a click away if you want it.

Funnily enough I have the opposite problem (beside the fact that I cant draw or paint that well). I do have rough sketches of what I want to paint and it frightened me a little (frightened not really the right word but I hope you know what I mean) when I realised that they were in effect tracing boards. I hope to get back to them at some stage, but it is likely to be some years away. Life is getting distinctly busier and if I have learnt anything it is that the tortoise knows something valuable (while not disrespecting the hare).

Without hares would the tortoise travel so far? Without the tortoise would the hare travel so far?
This life lesson has kept me very busy for years LorrB I would also hazzard a guess that this moral is taught in the first degree (please don't be put out about this as I am not prying, simply commenting and am quite happy to be wrong ).

The Cabala (Tree of Life) has two columns, one called Severity and the other Mercy. Each has its own strengths - and weaknesses. We are taught to travel via the middle column or pillar, where severity and mercy are balanced. Unbalanced each would create chaos.
The set up in R.Arch has a similar layout. Interesting.
