Hi Mini, I agree in terms of penmanship. Part of the problem is the invention of the typewriter, which already lessened the value of good handwriting. However, the quietus was dealt by the omnipresent computer keyboard. But, I have found that after incorporating the new one often returns to...

Hi Cloud, Very interesting stuff! I'll have to sort out my thoughts a bit before trying to respond in detail. However, I am impressed by connections to ancient Persia, as I have a great deal of respect for the Magi of that era. I'll also try to keep an open mind on the Peacock Angel. On...

Hi Mini, The "R" is boldly done in both, which may indicate a similarity in at least one trait related to such things--perhaps assertiveness? confidence? boldness? . . . . However, Rudolph's signature has a degree of flow and grace that is lacking in your son's signature. This could be...

That seems like a pretty big jump to me, but I'm only slightly familiar with Bieber's work. However, I am curious about your reasoning on this, so please explain. Thanks! S&S

Hi Cryscat, In terms of your comment, above, and the AI's query: "Have you seen other forums recover after a lull?"-- I have seen a couple of boards I was a member of in the early 2000s end. Both were fairly specialized. One was a discussion group that focused on Nuclear Pulse Propulsion...

I agree, but why, and is there anything that can be done to reverse this trend?

Hi Cyrus, Good to hear from you! Actually, I only mentioned Covid in trying to determine when the decline began, not as a causative factor. However, I suppose it is as good a theory as any. Covid seems to get blamed for so many things, why not throw in this one as well. OTOH, being elderly...

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...

I agree overall with your point and life really does work that way. However the foregoing does not keep us from remembering what went on in class much less all the other things that were going on in our lives at that time. Even if we have the distilled knowledge it doesn’t explain the erasure...

Hi Cat, There is a lot that the Cathars did not get right IMO. But, right or wrong, they would have been 100% behind the soul trap viewpoint. However, even within that viewpoint, there seems to be little from the "teachings" received of them through the hands of their murderers and...

Hi Baro-san, Considering the 3 interim PLs set forth, I can see bits of Judy in all of them, though mostly in the two female lives. The first life (male) after the initial Egyptian female lifetime seems (IMO) the least typical or "Judy-like" in terms of the avaricious cheating merchant who is...

Hi Baro-san, Like the writer, I cannot say that I would put absolute faith in this account. Nonetheless, it is VERY fascinating. I also appreciate the variety and texture of the several lifetimes portrayed. Two things I find particularly fascinating are (1) the distinctiveness of some of...

Hi Firefly, Thanks for your feedback! :) Like you, I have not had time to do any kind of "deep dive" into their religion, but after thinking about it, I don't feel any need to rush. In terms of its impact on the presentation (or my enjoyment) it was not any more off-putting than the many...

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...

Hi Cryscat, Keep safe! Everyone is rooting for you guys! The people of LA need all we can do for them as a nation, so I also hope that will be forthcoming. OTOH, I would like to cuss out some others (who will not be named lest my post get deleted and I get told off by moderators). So I will...

Hi Alex, A quick search of "Alexander Hamilton" brought up numerous posts from folks claiming a relationship and trying to find you. There were also seemed to be at least one claiming to be Alexander Hamilton (which may have been you posting earlier). Anyway, you might want to search your own...

Thanks!

On December 11, 2014, I made my first post on the board, starting this thread. It has been 10 years, and I don't think that I have any more assurance about anything related to my own putative past lives than I had 10 years ago. That is a strange place to be after 10 years. Maybe I will try...

Hi Cyrus, I am not sure how to categorize the story, other than as an illustration of pride and ego carried to its utmost extreme by one (the failed artist) who, seemingly, had no reason for such pride and ego. Nonetheless, it was definitely what I consider to be a good story, and one I would...

Thanks for the update and for monitoring the situation on the West coast generally.
