Very true, OiO. The comments on Record show that some are not having a positive experience.
Right. This one, especially, called Nothing, is quite concerning...
Yes, it is. I have read several comments there that give me concern.
The original post seems to confirm fears that some might be rushing into all this unprepared. But, once you get to the end of the comments the fears disappear....... That post is nothing but another "testimonial".
Over the past few days many here have posted concerns about the dangers of no guidance, then someone posts a bad experience only to "get it" in the end.
From the original post:
I feel lost and confused. I don’t know which end is up. Before all this, I was a confident king of my world. I didn’t know or care to know anything about what I know (or don’t know) now.
The op's last comment:
Maybe that mental hug unlocked something as today has turned out to be quite unreal. In fact, this may be the most unbelievable day in my life so far.
OiO

It wasn't a picture BHBS. It was a song and a plot.
Feel free to use "the fool" or just fool. There is a lot of symbolism behind that handle, registration date, and the avatar...and none of it is foolish.

And so it seems, my friends, that my time here is shorter than I thought. All too soon, I will have the priviledge of seeing what lays beyond the "veil". I have no regrets...for I have lived long and have enjoyed many, many blessings throughout this life. I send those same blessings to all of you.
As much as I have come to love those of you here in this thread, I will spend much more time outside...both the internet and my home. I want to feel the warmth of sunshine, hear the birds sing, walk among my friends in Nature...and enjoy the little hugs and kisses that are so dear to me.
What a wonderful journey we have been on together, yes? We have studied/researched everything from lucid dreaming to quantum theory...and, ohhh, my head still hurts from the math...lol Such a learning experience this has been! This thread is living proof that it is more than possible for a large group of people...diverse and strangers to each other...to work in unity toward a common goal. We gathered to solve a puzzle...and wound up creating a family. There is a lesson in that for us all.
I want to share some thoughts with you. They are not new. I, and many others, have said these same things here before...but there is no harm in hearing them again, yes? They are in no particular order and, when I begin to ramble, please forgive me.
We are truly one...it is scientifically proven through mitochrondial DNA. But we are also wonderfully unique...individuals in our own right. This is as it should be. It takes each and every person (with our different gifts, talents, experiences, lumps, bumps and warts)...along with each and every thing...to maintain the integrity of this "web of creation". Remember the analogy of the spider and her web? It holds true for life itself.
We, each of us, hold the Key to enlightenment within ourselves...it is our birthright. When we use that Key to unlock the better part of ourselves...when we become the best person we can be...then we have truly ascended. In that way, we may begin to change the world...one person at a time. But we must begin with ourselves.
Do not think that small acts of kindness...a simple smile, a soft word, a helping hand...do not matter. For just as a small stone cast into water creates ripples that radiate outward...so do acts of kindness. They have a cumulative effect. Think of it as "expanding your circle of influence".
Love is an answer...but not the whole. To it must be added empathy and action. To love simply is not enough if that love is not shown through actions...small or large.
There is no service-to-self or service-to-others. They are the same! For service to others is service to self...and vice versa. One allows the other to be. Balance...in all things.
Live your life. Love your life. Share your life. For in this way, we and all those around us grow. We do not live in a bubble.
Choose your path wisely. Know what you believe. Know why you believe it. Have the courage to stand on your beliefs. Walk your path...one step at a time...one day at a time. Be true to the path you have chosen.
We are spiritual beings in a human body...we live in a material world. As such, we are bound by the laws of the material world (and I do not mean wealth, fame, and all that) and must work within them. This is where we must work...in this world...in this reality. There is much that needs to be done. It has to begin somewhere. Why not with us?
Speak your words true and speak them plain. Always remember that knowledge is to be freely shared. Be a true Keeper of Light...and do not leave the people behind.
"The journey is as important as the destination."
Or so it seems to me.
Peace to you all.
Until we meet again....

For those that didn't understand a word, I was asked where I lived. The answer is Gorinchem Are you from the AIVD (Dutch Intelligence Services)? I have nothing to hide.

And if I go
while your still here
Know that I live on
vibrating to a different measure-
behind a veil you cannot see through
So you must have faith
I wait for a time when we
can soar together again
both aware of each other
Until then, live your life to the fullest
and when you need me
just whisper my name in your heart
I will be there.
