Hi Baro-san, The face needs to look a bit more like Cyrus' avatar. Otherwise, I think it is a great likeness. ;) Cordially, S&S PS--A beard would be nice addition. :cool:

Hi TABA, Actually, I think my earlier concerns about the board dying have been proven wrong. What the board needed is for those who are "still" active members to just get "active" again, post new interesting stuff, and keep the ball rolling. An active board tends to attract new members the...

Hi Erica, I hope you were able to complete your regression. Do you have anything to report? :) Cordially, S&S

Hi Sakamoto Ryoma, A resemblance between successive incarnations seems to be more common than not. Consequently, I don't believe it has to be as radical a difference as you have found it to be. Nonetheless, I think a lot of us feel like the face in the mirror doesn't look quite right--not...

Hi Baro-san, Thanks!! I believe it was the first book you cited above. I think I will try to find it again. ☺️ I won't be surprised if it can be accessed online (so many books from my youth seem to be readily available now on the Internet Archive or elsewhere). Cordially, S&S

Hi Totoro, I first heard of the Gospel of Thomas in a book on Zen. I think it was back in the late 60s or early 70s. I can't remember the name of the book, but it quoted sayings from the Gospel of Thomas along with (and often with parallel meanings to) those being quoted from Zen masters. I...

Hi Sakamoto Ryoma, This sounds like a forbidden love, which may have been only on your side. Things like this certainly happen. She might have been your superior from a societal standpoint or already have had a spouse. Perhaps, as in the case of Romeo and Juliet, she was part of an enemy...

Hi Totoro, I think that some animals can reincarnate, but don't know the rules on that. Long, long ago, in my Theosophy days (and also going by other occult sources), the idea I enbibed was that the members of different species/types of animals (in their wild state) were, in general, merely...

Hi Totoro, I am familiar with the Gospel of Thomas, and especially like one saying (that I believe speaks to reincarnation). However, I don't think it can be exalted over the rest of scripture. The tone is different, but I generally see it as being something that can be harmonized with the...

I have decided that one of the things that I and others need to be doing is simply posting more often. After 10+ years the board is not as central to me as it was once, but that is no excuse for letting it die. I am trying to stop by more often and post when I read rather than just look and...

Hi Sakamoto Ryoma, This is a very interested "snippet" memory. Brief, but seemingly very vivid and memorable. And, to me at least, the woman and her smile seem to be the focal point of the memory. It makes me wonder whether this is a preparatory flashback, possibly presaging a coming renewal...

Hi Frerotte, I will be 72 in December, so we are from the same generation and era, and also in close to the same stage of life. So much has changed since we were young. However, despite the changes in culture, it is still the same old world with all of its beauties and trials. Sometimes I...

Hi Totoro, I for one am 100% behind you doing this. I think you would be great at it! Also, though no one has mentioned it, only option "4" would preserve one of the most important parts of this board (for me at least): knowing, conferring, and sharing with like-minded people what I and they...

Hi Cryscat, I have seen sites of this type before, often with different websites having different regional flavors in terms of famous local hauntings, etc. The book cited by me above is more of a textbook. Actually, it reminds me of the casebooks we used in law school, with different cases...

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...

Hi Baro-san, Agreed in terms of the possible (and actually probable) "comet" explanation. But it is mostly probable at this early stage because we have never seen a giant interstellar craft before, while we have seen plenty of comets. So, at this distance, it is definitely more probable based...

For those interested, here is a summary by Scientist Avi Loeb of the "Dark Forest" paper by him and two others in regard to 3I/Atlas and its behavior, trajectory, etc.: https://avi-loeb.medium.com/is-the-interstellar-object-3i-atlas-alien-technology-b59ccc17b2e3 Of course, this could all just...

Cheer up everyone! It may not be an interstellar comet or an interstellar ark, but a mammoth hostile craft sent by aliens to destroy us :eek:--...
