Hi Cloud, I was interested in what the quoted monk had to say, but also wanted to point you towards the work of Gerard K. O'Neill in response to the idea of being confined to a station with "no dirt, no ocean, no trees." The giant O'Neill habitats and the other aspects of the High Frontier...

Hi Elle, I feel like an idiot now. Believe it or not, I did not recognize your name as being the same person I had such interesting and enjoyable interchanges with last fall. I went back and read through them all again just to refresh my memories, though it is a bit frightening to know that...

Hi Elle, I'm confused. Are you saying that you foresaw the current state of the world with all the various innovations and changes from then to now, etc. when you were a child? Cordially, S&S

There has not been a lot of action on this topic for a couple of years, but then that could be said about most topics on the board. (I can't tell whether people have just become disinterested or ???). Anyhow, anything unusual coming from our local super volcano makes me nervous, so I thought I...

Hi Tanguerra, I wish I could say something that would be wonderfully helpful. But I don't think anything I could say will make up for your loss. I do believe that your love will inevitably draw you both together again, but that may be small comfort at the moment given the uncertainties of...

Hi Ocean, For me the movie comes down to the one sequence with Anna in the deserted ballroom that contains that song. On the whole, the movie is typical animated fantasy, filled with the impossible, the improbable, and the absurd, but fun enough if one is in the mood. I even like the...

I am not sure whether I agree with Maugham or not. Perhaps it is because I have never tried to distinguish (as he seems to) between the most "perfect" beauty and less perfect but still wonderful works. I only know what I like, and if I like it I can gaze on it for quite a long time, whether it...

Hi Cyrus, I wish I lived somewhere as beautiful! But, back to the video I posted. The scenes are from the Russian movie "Admiral"--about the life and death of Admiral Kolchak: And, of course, about his love affair with the poet Anna Timiyova. So, the setting is during the First World War...

Hi Cyrus, Your favorite above is remarkably similar (in terms of visual and dramatic elements) to a long time favorite of mine: Here it is with the Russian subtitles and some translations: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yLTf-R9gj_0 Cordially, S&S

Exactly, that is one of the things I really appreciate about Druidry. :)

"As far back as the 1st century BCE, Alexander Cornelius Polyhistor wrote that the Gauls [Celts] teach “that the souls of men are immortal, and that after a fixed number of years [possibly in the Otherworld or Summerland?], they will enter into another body.” Julius Caesar wrote of the Celts in...

Hi Speedwell, I wish I could find an available online copy. I'm interested in Guirdham's books (even those that don't deal with the Cathars), but they can be hard to get without spending a bit of money for an old out-of-print copy. I just did a preliminary check online with no success, but...

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...

I am no expert, but for people generally interested, I would suggest the following three videos from a Jewish Rabbi. What you will find is distinctively different from the usual view of reincarnation, but very interesting none-the-less:

First time I've posted on this thread, and my memories of the Doors (despite being a sound from long ago when I was a different person), drew me. I only listened to the first 10 songs, but it was enough for now. Still great music, evoking a different era and a different me. I'm no longer...

Another year, and another Guirdham book found online. The missing "second" book I mentioned above--"We Are One Another": https://archive.org/details/weareoneanother0000arth/mode/2up So, I'm wending my way through it, and finding more new things as well as some of the usual disappointments. I...

Hi Tman, I have read online articles re Gilgul, but never tried to delve into the source materials. Mostly, I was interested in general articles from Jewish believers citing scriptures they believed pointed to reincarnation (gilgul) in the Old Testament. However, your comment inspired me to...

Hi Ocean, Probably not "MIBs" and I don't think I am a "soul trap" person (though that may be because I am not certain what the term means)--however, I do have mixed feelings and mixed thoughts about how to interpret the available data/information. For example, most of the time, I take a...

Follow-up--- I would be remiss if I failed to mention another possibility. Newton (and others) have mentioned that new souls have a very hard time, at least initially. So, I can understand that they might not want to come back, and that some were forced. Using the school analogy, I can...
