Hi Cyrus, I am not sure what you are upset about. You have long used a humorous hypothetical about intelligent mushrooms on Betelgeuse V. Baro-san did a humorous rendition of such a mushroom, and I suggested what I considered to be a humorous addition. No insult to you, your Avatar, or your...

Hi TABA, I haven't watched this yet, but I am very glad you put up something. I became aware not too long ago, that a plethora of "spectacular" NDE reports were coming online, and they were often conflicting and sometimes just plain weird. I found this confusing, until I realized that I was...

Hi SR, No reason not to speak your mind (everyone else does). As you can see, there are some that are adamant that the soul of a person has no sex or gender, and others (like me) who believe the opposite. After much discussion, no resolution was ever reached, and I don't think that it ever...

Speaking of ghosts, here is a report on something spooky that takes place on Florida's "Death Row" every time someone is executed...

I think this is probably typical for most in a cross-gender lifetime. BTW--Did you get a chance to read the whole thread?

Hi SR, This rings a bell with me. I think I read something that more-or-less confirms what you just said. But I can't remember where. Anyhow, it was related to the fact that very important and active lives are followed by less important and less active lives. However, I can't remember...

Hi Galaxy, Volunteering seems like a good place to start. But I would not neglect the inner life or the higher life. I.e., I would seek to develop a solid life of devotional/inspirational reading, meditation and prayer. These are the kinds of things that, in my experience: (1) help to ground...

Hi SR, In terms of gender, there have been numerous discussions on the board. Overall, I think the best thread to review in terms of the various positions on this issue and their underlying merit is titled "Do souls have gender?"--which you can get to with the board's search function. I find...

Hi SR, I'd be on the lookout for a Turkish PL, or maybe one where you spoke it regularly as a diplomat, trader, etc. Cordially, S&S

Hi Cyrus, I disagree on both points, but you are also entitled to your opinion on these matters. I have had many long debates on the gender issue on this board--and no one ever changed their minds on the issue that I can recall (including me). In terms of the continuity of appearance, having...

I agree, but still think the beard (a distinctive Cyrus trademark) would add a nice touch. 😁

Hi SR, I have nothing quite like that to report. However, I was drawn to German when it came to choosing a language in school. At the time, I thought the reason I did so was because of all the wonderful German scientists I admired. (My wife--a musician--might just as easily have emphasized...

Hi Sakamoto Ryoma, You don't talk too much. The problem around here is that a lot of people are not talking enough. Go for it! (I wouldn't say that if I thought your posts were boring, but I enjoy reading them and find them interesting :)). Cordially, S&S

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...
