Dearest Anna,

If you were a minister, I'd go to your church!

Phew! So much wisdom is contained in this thread! My heartfelt gratitude to all of its contributors, as your well thought ideas expose me to so much I have yet to consider! Stefan, I do trust that you have made arrangements to archive this forum, so that its remarkable insights are not lost to poste...

"In The Beginning"

I noted that there have been 223 viewers of your post regarding "In the Beginning," Jan. I sincerely hope that most, if not all of them, have read all seven chapters of Stefan's brilliant novelette. I cannot recall enjoying so many "Ah's," or succumbing to so many outright bursts...

I've just returned from "&," where I re-read Professor Cox's essay, after first reading your introductory history of how it came to be there. First, thank-you very much, Stefan, for taking the time for making the necessary effort(s) to do so. Second, thanks too, for posting the link to...

"Ashes to Ashes"

Looking closely at the “avatar” I chose to represent how I felt The Cosmic wants to express through me on this forum, I recemtly noticed, that the cord dangling from the hilt of the electric drill, has no plug with which to connect to a power source. This particular symbol appealed to me, because I ...

"Ashes to Ashes"

Well, Stefan, I’m not at all surprised I first encountered that quotation in the “Letters to The Zoo Fence” area of its web site. That was one of the first sub-sections of The Zoo Fence that I explored, ever so many years ago, after I found “The Zoo Fence” on the Web (or did it find me?). Further, t...

"Ashes to Ashes"

I cannot take credit for being the originator of “Death is the opposite of birth, not life,” J.J. And, I should have followed it with the short statement of fact: “Life has no opposite” as that was part of the quote, when I first read it (don’t ask me where). Don’t feel badly about “trying to keep t...

"Lions and Tigers and Prayer, Oh My... "

Thanks, Art, for that information. A couple of them I knew, but the others were a mystery to me. Long ago, when I still found it beneficial to join with "others" under a particular banner, I learned the meanings of the vowel sounds used by the Roseicrucian Order (AMORC) during their convoc...

I do so very much enjoy, Art, your word-smithing abilities to seperate the "wheat from the chaff." Your conclusions are (usually) so well reasoned, that it is a treat to read the words that lead to them... But, I do wish you would explain, for the benefit of we "unknowers," the m...

Lions and Tigers and Prayer, Oh My...

Joel Goldsmith, said in "The Infinite Way," I think it was, that we should, "...pray without ceasing." Although my concept of God does not need, or want to be prayed to, nor worshiped (see my essay "Worhip, Who Needs It" at Open Space) for that matter...but, isn't that ...

Ashes to ashes

jenjulian, this question was my method of determining that Life is a continuum. It is difficult, if not virtually impossible, to imagine yourself as “not being” when you are aware of yourself as an existing, seemingly separate, individual. As an “Awareness,” you observe that when “Others” die, you d...

Years ago, I posted this question to the original forum: "What would be, if you "wern't?" My answer to my own question, was (and still is) nothing...for if I "am not," then, obviously, "nothing" can be (exist) for me, if I "am not," as "not being,&qu...
