Re: Ghosties and ghoulies and things that go Bump in the night! In terms of the foregoing, I recently ran into a book that I found extremely interesting. There you will find plenty of ghosties and quite a few bumps in the night, but no ghoulies to speak of. It is not a frightening book at...

The term "Dark" here is used to indicate the dark at the outer limits of the Solar System and beyond. A new interloper in our system has been discovered. It is very large and moving very fast (I think the figure mentioned is 152,000 mph relative to our planet). It is currently projected to...

Hi All, I was just looking at a few new posts on the board today. To have more than a single post at a time (often separated by weeks) has become increasingly rare. It turns out that those who own and control the board were probably correct--the board seems to be dying. This makes me sad...

This is a review on the Chinese themed dance experience "Shen Yun". You may well have seen it promoted as well, as the group that sponsors these performances has eight separate companies on tour and offer heavily advertised performances almost everywhere on an annual basis. I have seen...

INSTRUCTIONS: This is a thread for fiction involving reincarnation in some manner/degree that you would like to recommend to others. This does not mean that reincarnation is at the core, or even forms a major part of the story. It may merely form part of the background of the story in terms...

Florida is getting two major hurricanes in approx two weeks. Helene hit as a Category 3 and went through a fairly thinly populated part of the state, but caused massive damages further North. Milton will hit as a Category 4 and go through a very densely populated area of the state. I was to...

The "Memory Block" is there for almost all of us to some degree or another. And, I have certainly had my difficulties. Some hypothesize that it serves as a trauma block. However, as anyone who has read this board for very long will know, it is often the traumatic memories that force their way...

I saw this the other day and decided to post it. I have seen some attempts before, but this is (to me at least) the most realistic rendition I have ever seen. It also, quite simply, resonates with me, though I cannot say why.

I have been interested in Druidry for quite a while, and will probably be getting more involved in the future. So, I thought I would check and see if anyone else is or has been involved in this. It typically includes, but does not require, a belief in reincarnation, but this is not its...

Hurricane Idalia is expected to strengthen to at least category 3 and now possibly category 4 storm before making landfall on the Gulf Coast and sweeping across an area in Florida that will impact Totoro and I sometime between Tuesday evening and Wednesday evening. We expect fairly massive...

There is breaking news on the Dark Matter issue. It appears from recently reported information that an alternate theory ("MOND" = "Modified Newtonian Dynamics" or "Milgromian dynamics" after the person who developed this theory) is correct and Dark Matter is unnecessary in order to explain the...

Hi Melon, Perhaps, but there are few that do not find that particularity rather than generality is the way forward in the most vital and important relationships. That is, if any kind of deep relationship is sought. One may have general and friendly relationships with many, but in romance most...

This thread is not being opened for the purpose of any discussion regarding American gun laws, etc. which would be political, but to request prayers for the bereaved families of the victims. As a parent and grandparent, this strikes home to me, especially as I look at the faces of the victims...

This is a very good article with applicability in terms of past life memory as well as in ordinary life. As appears obvious, too much memory or too good a memory can present problems for us. To some extent, it is much better to be able to forget...

A very powerful Category 4 storm (wind gusts to 185 mph) with sustained winds just below Category 5. If you have a moment, pray for Louisiana. There was not enough time for extensive evacuation. So, they'll just have to "hunker down" where they are...

This is another "Elephant in the room" so to speak. I think a lot of folks have noticed it, and some I've PM'd with have mentioned it and/or commented on it. However, no one has commented on it in a post (that I know of). I've seen some quiet days over the years I've been posting here, but...

Such an interesting idea. I had never heard of it, yet find it very appealing: https://apnews.com/article/coronavirus-pandemic-lifestyle-health-business-3b4e6af60889b69fde4f8fc14d01f7af This is such a profoundly necessary and ignored aspect of things. I supposed people's families used to...

I thought this article would be of interest to many as it deals with Dr. Ian Stevenson and one of his more famous subjects, Ma Tin, and the pressures they faced in their lives. Both were negotiating difficult environments filled with "sharks" that could or sought to destroy them as well as with...

I'm just curious about whether others have experienced something that has periodically struck me since I was a child--a sense that the person in the mirror is not "me" or does not reflect my "true" appearance. Of course, many may insist that this is just the reaction of someone who thinks...

I thought this was a good article overall, and helps to dispel the numerous misconceptions based on a couple of millennia of artistic imaginings in terms of how Jesus dressed and looked: https://getpocket.com/explore/item/what-did-jesus-wear?utm_source=pocket-newtab The initial reference to a...
