Hey Jere. How are you doing? I haven’t read of you since some day. Lol!

Skyler. Thanks for your clarification. LOL.
Ps, thanks also for your compliment on my english. Time by time I use some help depends what I want to say.

Aqua. GRAZIE!
As far as I am concerned, most of the organized confessions have simplified or adapted the true meaning of the original message (which one then discovers has a common root in all) and have watered it.

The worst thing is to take pieces of knowledge, create a “solution” and print a copyright on it.

However (but it is my personal opinion) a book that I found very interesting because it manages to give a key to reading everything without imposing any dogma or forced truths is Eckhart Tolle’s The Power of Now.

In conclusion scientology has apparent solutions but which ultimately bind the soul into a trap.

Do well and take care of you!

LMR. I want you to know that your English is better than anyone else I ever met who lived in a country whose primary language was not English.

IMO, your command of English is actually quite amazing.

Yes, Of course it is a joke. Perhaps I lost site of the fact that people outside of the USA might not be familiar with the Popeye cartoons in which there exists a despicable type of con man bum named Wimpy who was always asking people to give him money so he could buy a hamburger and he would promise to pay them back.

I figured he was a close representation of LRH the con man.

I can’t imagine how this would upset Mike because I thought I made it clear that I was just trying to be funny. Pls excuse me if my attempt at humor upset some people.

Well, you know, if it floats their boat to be Wiccans, why not? As long as no animals are harmed.

Now, after my own comment mentioning them I did a brief google search to get some data on the Wiccans, and…whoa! My head is spinning! An awful lot of words there I didn’t know. And I’m not going to look them up, either. What I did manage to glean was that Wicca is nature-based spirituality with lots of little celebrations based on the seasons, etc., Its got its own nomenclature and the overall faith is quite diverse; there are basic similarities but Wicca’s gods and beliefs and practices vary…no worries that I wouldn’t be accepted, seems like there’s something for everyone in Wicca’s big tent. Look, you do know that I’m just funnin’ whicha about Wicca, right? Although it might be a hoot to get back to my ancient Celtic and Anglo Saxon roots by dabbling in it for a while. If we live again and again, and I think we do – I definitely don’t KNOW but its possible that we do – anyway if we live again and again, I’d bet a LOT of money that I was burned at the stake for a witch AT LEAST once 🙂 And now I should stop because I’ve tested Mike’s patience with this off topic ramble long enough.

Aqua, some long-term friends —never call them old — are Wiccan. Good, “Bad”… just considerations, just as the doddering old man said. He stole that from someone else, of course, but that doesn’t make it any more wrong.

Oh, DANG, I miss an Edit function…. “If only I could forget Tubby’s ramblings that easily.”
