is that what I am? or, part of my view? Tao?

Intersting stuff!
I had mentioned to Alex I understood some of the eastern philosophies...

Thing is...

although I adhere to nothing but All... I take into consideration all
faiths and beliefs. So, it isn't that I discard any one in particular as
a whole...

I only learned of Reiki(sp) a few years ago when someone said that was
probably the healing I'd been doing my whole life with my hands...

I can retain if I read about them all the time. I have lost the ability
to retain, or remember much of what I know...

That make sense?lol

Yet, I think maybe that's just i. We must forget in order to accept
enlightenment?

LOL here, here!

jesse,

sun is gone, and no sunset... gonna rain for a few days...
Besides she has homework. Gave her the afternoon afterschool to hang out
and have fun...

Hey, invisible, lol. Just have the hardest time calling you that
xxxooo

===================

lil hijack

BIG HIJACK!

seeing

morning beauty!

trying to get sarah inside, lol. and, i keep losing my satellites this
afternoon!

Yuh, well I would too when I know the lifelong harm it does...

But, and I know I'll probably get he stink eye, LMAO!, I also know if I
had NOT gone through a lifetime of it, I may not have been able to be
the Mom to my kids that I have been.
Had I been brought up differently, I might not recognize, or know how to
deal with these issues along with other affected.

These people do this every day... right now. Despicable, sick human
beings whom destroy lives...
They are your neighbors, people you know, strangers, clergy, family,
parents...

As far as laws go, hell... With so many frivolous lawsuits going
on...and, there are the rare liars...

one thing about Karma that is hard for those of us who have lived
through it, is we don't always get to see it come around. But, it does.
Many are revolved through the justice doors to repeat again, and
again.And, they will because there is no cure for this type of abuse...

The hardest thing is knowing and living with the fact that most
predators like this are doing it again, and there is nada we can do
about it except try to live whole, and well...

have had to. and in reality none of the above apply.

good discussion topic, though.

"a note on lavender: it is not to be used with anyone that has asthma or
breathing problems. it's sad they put it in baby products...and each
one has a warning label on it, for this very reason."
==============

Lori is correct. As said earlier, be careful. I believe Chamomile
(roman and germane) is another.. as far as allergies, asthma...anything
that is inhales in an asthma patient should be checked first by doctors,
or pharmacists(which know the most about interactions and such, since it
is thier specialty)

and again... one can quote all manner of books, and such...

one can lecture until boredom and drool drips from the mouths of those
dozing off...

Interesting that some of us did not need universities to come by wisdom,
and knowing how things work...

and, also interesting how many feel the need to throw their's around as
if it makes any difference to those of us whom believe in what we do.

Angry?

what makes me angry about religion is the truth and greed, and many many
wars created. someone said it is not so?
omg, that is an outright lie.

How many people lost thier lives in the right to believe? How many
people from across the atlantic... and again here! in the USA were
tortured, and killed by force of belief?

To say these things had nothing to do with religion is the same as
saying my penis was there, but not my mind...

WTF!?

Not all folks push thier beliefs today. But, many MANY judge others whom
have experiences, and beliefs to the contrary.

I don't go door to door selling the "Word"
I don't blame the "sins" of innocent folks for catastrophes, like those
using it as a way to cram it at us...

To say to a homeless woman with a daughter..in danger... that because
they are not a "member" of the "flock" they can not expect charity...,
or aide? Since when does charity have attachments?
These were Christian, and Catholic charities, btw...

Hiding child molesters in the church as if they are more than the rest
of the human race disgusts me.

The way religion puts itself above the lives of us all?

as an aside...

I also would like to see more tolerance, and less pompass crap regarding
how one posts, and how they come across in different ways.

I see this all over the net. People whom are challenged, or others whom
think the way they do or don't do things is the all of it...

My belief is like the willow... it bends. Sturdy as the age old oak is,
once matured it is stiff, and unbending, yes?

I don't have any one religion, or belief...

I cannot be boxed, or neatly labeled...

I am of earth, space, time, and history.
I am connected to all life in DNA, spirit, energy...

It is difficult to give any description that anyone could understand, or
would believe... yet, it is, and wether one believes, or has faith in
what I believe (which is constantly changing in some areas, and not in
others...)

While a lot of what I have experienced throughout life seems mystical,
or nuts... I do believe it brain based in some ways. I think much of
this is still not proven (admittedly so by scientists...), and my not be
in my lifetime, or another generation. I also believe most of it is
natural, and all of us have the abilities, though some more than others,
and genetics play a part, as well... as does astrology.

I have recordings of residual energy, as well as intelligent
communications with spirits... And, yes, I do it scientifically,
discounting, and exploring all natural causes...

I have heard, and been contacted by them, as has my daughter. We both
have had physical experiences. Some just unexplainable.
Mostly just the way we live with it...

Have found negative energy feeds more... and the more we put into it,
the more happens... so the is cause and effect.

Unless folks have honestly witnessed or experienced it, there will
always be the "circling the head, so your crazy, huh?" people, lol.

I believe we have many lives. And, are bound by lessons to return. Each
time hopefully the choices will be better... and yes, we do have free
will, and choice.
All things are connected through energy. The infamous "ripple" effect is
proven, and very true with all things.

We all have a path. Some of us can deviate from this at will, but
ultimately must meet our goals to enter a higher energy.

Once we are learned... we still have choices. We can choose to come
visit, or not. We become pure energy, and can learn to manipulate matter
though spiritual energy... I don't know, yet how this is done. And, it
could very well be we may never know. If we did, then there will
inevitably be cheaters... for we all in our perfection have intentional
wills. And, there are dark souls whom choose what they do...

Will follow this later... mind is scrambling, LOL!

evad,

the love was real... all of it. Now it's changed... but, the was in no
less real.

and sex! oooohhh boy, heh.

someone took the time to be kind and understanding... I thank you...=0)

"Some of the newbies told me that one of the problems with their old
site
was that the rules were not enforced consistently across the board --
some members got away with more because they were more popular on the
site -- and I see the same thing happening here, and it concerns me...."

====================================

I dunno, I see Mike and Van handling thing well compared, really.

Not sure you understand the craziness that happened. And, as we all are
beginning new, didn't want to get into it here... I'm only speaking on
behalf of the core folks and freinds of mine...

Only the long time folks (a few still there), that were taken out, with
a few newer members.
But, this had nothing to do with being "bad" this was the allowance of a
preditor, and the cover up of victims. And, anyone standing up for
them...
*note: all proper channels were sought first, and proofs given...* Not a
hen peck... not an attack... what happened afterward was folks being
stupid, then making games of it all...


Aside from all the hooplah since...

I really have found folks here very warm, and helpful. And, I'm a
handful at time, lol.

One more thing, all sites have fakers, and scammers. I can usually spot
them, as others for sure can...

I'm just having a good experience so far, aside from some very closed
minds. And, the fact that tolerance in some areas by way of simply
mailing someone and asking them about something they aren't sure of, or
understand about another member...
not the gossip bullcrap, either. Can't stand gossip, lol.

again, when it goes international, the religion, and politics threads
will be a chore...

I knew folks would be upset... but, most of us are ok, and old timers
here have been good to me.

My concern is what happens when this place goes international and good
ol' USA backslappers are subject to other views, lifestyles, and ideas.

Change takes time, I know this. And, I also know the crap folks brought
with them here... good that some of it stopped.

the sex...

hey you=0)

yup, they've been requested...

I just hijack randomly, hehehehe.

tiger, sweet, jane...

If I had my way, the heat would be not humid..not too hot...LOL!

yesterday was perfect. even if I had to do laundry yuck!

but, having a breeze, and the chimes tinkling in open windows... man,
such a good thing.

hey guys...

Cathme,

info on the benefits, and cautions of oils...
