Guest guest Posted June 29, 2007 Report Share Posted June 29, 2007 Hello! My name is Steve and I'm here to contribute on occasion, time and space permitting. I write frequently on metaphysical topics. I also love to learn (which is how I got here!), so I'd enjoy reading and learning from other people's posts, too. Although I was raised Christian, I don't follow any particular spiritual teaching. There's a whole smorgasbord of teachings and ideas out there to choose from! A little Jesus, a little Siddhartha, a little Vernon Howard...Jane Roberts...Gary Zukav...Thomas Nehrer...Morihei Ueshiba...there are so many teachers out there. Most of the ones I've studied are dead, of course, so I feel kind of fortunate to be living and awake! If this group and its moderator(s) see fit, I'll post a few paragraphs in my next message along with a link to the entire essay. It's pertinent that I've written a book about the awakening process, which I quote in my e-mail signatures along with a link to its Amazon page. I hope that doesn't offend. I'm here to help and contribute, and sharing my insights and awakening experiences is one of the best ways I know. At any rate, that's my written snapshot at the moment. For a real snapshot and some more info, you can see my profile on , MySpace, or Zaadz. My handle is revspirit on all three. They're all in progress, of course. : ) Cheers!

Guest guest Posted July 3, 2007 Report Share Posted July 3, 2007 Bob,You're repeating things you've heard about wise people, rather than bringing a response from your own wisdom.
