RE: Mf

I do understand your ability to defend yourself in any way that is required and meant no insult to this, which I am grateful that you recognized. But it is a long cold day in Hell before I will be present and witness some such foolishness to a friend. I do not wish to fight the man verbally or otherwise either as I do not have the heart for such idiocy. It just seems to happen all too often and the 'victim' (and in your case I must use this word very loosely as I doubt you will ever be one in truth) usually ends up standing alone.

RE: Mf

Phil you are out of line. Please refrain from such childish behaviour. If this is what you think of her why would you even have bothered to attempt to contact her privately?
Mindfful is a personal friend of mine and I cannot stand idly by and have her slandered needlessly. Nothing nice to say then I believe say nothing is the most appropriate response.

RE: Mf

Phil if there was never a reason surely this thread is one to justify the actions of that woman. She would never have broken personal email contact without some sort of reason. She even puts up with me and that says a lot for her character.

RE: You're Presidential Prediction.

I know it has to happen, but I can't help but feel terrible sorrow for the individuals who will suffer in light of this new chapter. Especially with my heart captive in Montana and how that affects each and every person I have grown to know here as well.

RE: You're Presidential Prediction.

Thank you my friend I was hoping you would answer me as I value your wisdom in ways you may never know.

I agree that he and his approach are the best possibility but my fear lies in the vast gulf of very serious separation that his presence causes. Religious fervor does not make a very communal feeling when both sides have a like sentiment. Regardless of his inability to make very serious change without undoing the iron clad legal agreements that have bought the presidency in the past, he will be a great emissary for the face of the United States and perhaps this may quell some of the external dissention that seems once again to be volatilely raising in exponential form.

RE: Starting Threads

Personally I would like to see a feature added to this site that allowed the OP to have some control over the posts. Possibly the ability to delete the posts that detract from the original point (to prevent the onslaught that often ensues as differing polar opinions inevitably arrive to take a stance that has nothing to do with the OP) or even to block those to whom malevolence is the only response they are acclimated to share.

RE: Starting Threads

Expect the unexpected and just allow the flow to move like a river from one stone to another. When the spirit of the thread's inception seems lost gently prod the skiffs coagulating at the bottleneck to the main portion of the stream and repeat when necessary.

RE: say something about romance......

Romance is the poetic essence of Love as it applies to one special person. A voice that never fails even in its humble appraoch to the divine. The physical aspiration of the religious conception of Tongues and the speaking of it. A voice that is loud and clear regardless of the limitation of words. The euphoria of two children embarking upon the most delerious and rewarding of journeys complete in their solitude yet assured enough to exist in the presence of all, oblivious to all but the eyes which return every facet of the Love that exudes from our own.
A play of give and give with never a single take but all reception complete to the purity granted.

RE: What would you do

There must be some legal manner of ensuring that the greatest sum of the cheque goes to the unpaid bill as their are creditors seeking their just dues. Then the difference should be divided equally with his portion going directly in full to the back payments for support.
There is no chance in hell that I could in any way shape or form advocate giving such a man who leaves such a financial horror behind to haunt those he once professed to Love unconditionally for better and for worse, any sort of money.

RE: Glimpses of God’s Image

I am that truth my friend and I am as real as any other person here or outside your very door. That is the truth that I can share and no other as the Lord comes to each in His own way. That is all I can offer you or anyone else.

The CS Curse? Or Psychic Vampirism?

Well if there is some hope in life that al least leaves approximately 6000 others of like mind to myself, and then of course the thousands that mirror kind souls the world through.

RE: Thoughts and Prayers for Em's Boyfriend

Dana, my prayers go out for Adam and to all those who Love him.

RE: Glimpses of God’s Image

Just the frail human perception of it and the transmission of Words that have no equal in the human tongue.

Once again you are correct, and I wouldn't have it any other way my friend.
My assertions are not vile my friend nor acidic and if at times they become so it is only through my failing of the mortal coil. I intend only the best but am limited like all others in my ability to express exactly what I know to be true.

RE: Glimpses of God’s Image

My God is not this being to whom you attribute these truthful allegations. The pen is mightier than the sword, I know this of a certainty as do you. The truth in your words lies in the men (and women (still no need for gender bias )) that take the image of the Lord unto themselves to lull the people into false security in their benevolence. And then clearly turn the Word into a weapon. God gave us life, man gives us death and far worse. I agree those who use the Word in such a way have earned the wrath of persons with a mind to contemplate what they are and what they have done. Sometimes it truly is the messenger that should have all the blame placed upon his shoulders.
We are all living our last moments from one day to the next. Life is never certain and each breath is our last until the next one is drawn in to sustain us. I do not believe for a single instance that you are attacking anyone's need for comfort my friend I just see at times that the words and actions of the few are occasionally taken to indicate the position of the all. I Love the way you challenge thought to burn the dross in the tempering. You my friend are one of the greatest advocates to my faith herein as you help me to become more of what my Lord envisioned from the start. Thank You.

RE: who is taken???

RE: Glimpses of God’s Image

Al imagine (and I know you can do this you have a wonderful imagination full of intrigue and very endearing to boot) a man (or woman (no need for gender bias here) who is terminally inficted with some debilitating disease. He sits in his bed blind yet peering in the direction of the window. You sit with him out of compassion and a desire to brighten his day in some small way with companionship, altruism at its finest. He describes the world before him in such a delightful way that comes from his experiences and is in no way indicative of the view that truly lies before him.
Do you stop him in this moment of reflection to refute his dream and faith in the inherent good that lies before his mind's eye? Or do you allow him to procede? His vision harms no one and does the most wonderful of good for his own spirit. Just because the window might lead to a brick wall to your perception should he have his dreams shattered merely for you to feel he has been corrected? I know you would not do this to anyone in this situation for their own well-being yet you feel it some sort of duty to dash any position of faith that does not correspond to the secular view you have immersed yourself completely in. Your view is fine for you and I do not seek to disparage your efforts to seek the universal truths that allow you the greatest possibility of happiness and solace, yet my view is what does exactly that for me. And to each other person the same effect. I respect your point of view and do not in any way feel challenged by it. Often I am elightened by specifics that you share and in that I do look forward to each and every post you make. No judgement as it infers a lack of myself rather than in you.

RE: Glimpses of God’s Image

I still ove ya Al.

RE: Glimpses of God’s Image

I used to have such a difficult time reading your negative rhetoric Al until I realized that even through all the defamation I still liked you. Then I began to see that your misplaced antagonism was in truth directed at the human element of faith. I likewise have little use for the machinations of the political subdivisions of spirituality. I now enjoy all of your posts so much more merely by recognizing the true face you spite. I think in fact me might be brothers in that particular view.
As for the polishing of coins, if we refuse to see the other side of the coin and even draw it forth keeping it tucked deep in our collective pocket it is likely the thumb that does the polishing, to the detriment of the one side. But then we could just peer into that reflection in this coin and recognize ourselves The value of the metal is nothing more than that which we held so futilely too. You have a great faith my friend I applaud you for your efforts to remain true to yourself.

The CS Curse? Or Psychic Vampirism?

Another fine testament to what we are supposed to seek in life. You and Eric are a blessing and I always look forward to posts that prove unequivocally the truth of the heart. We need to have more success stories like yours and the others that have managed to become the fairy tales that always lie in the hearts of believers. Dreams do come true we just have to maintain our faith and put forth our best efforts against all the negativity which can never be sated no matter how much it devours.

RE: How real is virtual?

Self-doubt plagues not only one but all. It is what we choose to do about our own selves that matters. Change only occurs within of a lasting nature. Perhaps the cloak is the picture of whom they truly wish to be? Perhaps it is in granting total trust that they will attain these goals of definition? Confidence can be bolstered through care and kindness. There is no need to allow some veil to slip over our eyes in this to allow them to parade about in the midst of mutiple personalities of course as there is no gain for them and a great possibility of loss to us but faith is wicked powerful and could move mountains if the presence amounts to the tiniest grain of a mustard seed.
If a child is told through words or actions, reactions or looks that they are a failure in any way they often become exactly that, but given the support of Love they can overcome all obstacles. The greatest reward of Faith and Hope is Love. And the three must be given simultaneously to have any worth. Fear is the absence of Love and is not all powerful. Nothing can contend with Love delived in the pure form in which we draw it forth from the ether surrounding us. Just maintain its purity and it will burn the fear and doubt away like dew in the face of the sunrise. Time is our lone currency, spend it sharing the one gift we have in an unlimited supply- Love. Love is not a question it is the answer to all questions that have any sort of worth.

RE: Observing The Fabric Of Personalities.

This is in no way any fault of your own young lady. It is their own stamina that must be looked into. Their intention and ability to stay the course. If they fail to achieve what they desire you can not hold any part of that blame. Just continue succeeding as you do and let them fail or succeed according to their own abilities.

The CS Curse? Or Psychic Vampirism?

I do understand the one-sided thing but I believe it is in our perceptions that we allow this to exist. Love does not expect reciprocation and if it is meant to be nothing will stop it. Likewise if it is not meant to be nothing will make it happen.
I understand that my discernment of this is not a common one nor do I expect any one else to see as I do. For some the best option is to move on to seek their heart's joy wherever it might be and to them I send my best wishes. Everyone deserves the utmost in happiness and fulfillment. In her I have found more than I have ever had and that sates any possibility for whatever my heart ever dreamed. That is enough for me. Do I want more? Of course I want it all but never without it being given wholly. I could never force, beguile, or otherwise stip a single part of her freedom for any desire no matter how much I could ever want. My Love is uncondtional and not revokeable in any way shape or form without destroying what it is completely.

The CS Curse? Or Psychic Vampirism?

She is still in my life Daniel in every way I could ever want. Just not here. I have lost nothing and gained everything with and through her. I gave her my heart completely and it is safe in her hands no matter what the future holds. How could I be true to myself and to the omnipotence of Love if I could ever take what I gave her to seek to trade it to another to whom I could never feel fairly what they deserve? Every woman will always be a pale shadow of her in my heart and I could never stoop so low as to imagine that treating any of the beautiful ladies here in such a way would be appropriate in any way. I am content to remain alone without her in that way as log as I never lose our friendship which alone is a treasure worth everything.

RE: How real is virtual?

Without communication there is no depth to any relationship. The means or medium is not important but rather the ability and willingness to participate is the key. There are no wrong answers just differing opinions which may or may not shed light or open doors. We cannot make anyone like us but likewise we cannot make anyone dislike us, it is in their choice to do either, and the responsibility lies within ourselves.
If we fail it is not through the actions or words of others but merely our own inability to succeed or try which in truth is the ultimate failure and perhaps the only one.
This world is as real as the one we wake to every day, filled with the same possibilities and opportunities, we just have to take the first step more often here.

The CS Curse? Or Psychic Vampirism?

I do not seek to experience multitudes of communion with those lovely angels of the opposite gender. I have never sought solace in such and never in truth could. I have been involved with my own share of women, gaining and losing as the situation played out. Those times are in my past and better suited to a youthful man. I am by no means old but i am far to sensitive to seek anything less than all I desire.
My heart is a very specific voice that guides me unerringly to what it is that creates opportunity for this fulfillment and I choose no other, ever. I do not understand how through my words this cannot be understood, or worse if the words of my heart were recognized in the exact proportion to which they were spoken how anyone would ever imagine it a worthy cause to become entangled in my life in such a negative way.
I have not approached any but one woman in all the time I have been on this site. I have never been on another site of any sort, until I left this one so shamefully. And there I never once accepted any offer of more than friendship. My heart is completely drawn to one shining star in the heavens and no matter what is to ever come of this I will not seek again. For me I believe that my heart has clearly defined with no room for doubt exactly what it is that I seek, and there is no possibility that I will change even the slightest perception of this. I know what I have seen and it is more than anything I could have imagined. My heart and soul will to this woman always belong. A cheque written to encompass all that I am or ever will be. Whether she cashes it or not is no part of any equation I contemplate. I expect nothing from her but what she gives of her own heart and that is to me more than I could have asked anyway.
The future is never certain but I can guarantee that for her I will always be there in whatever way she accepts.
The testament to my heart's desire is that as close as we are, and how hard it was to lose her for a time in my life, she is back of her own accord and that is all I ever wanted. My best friend forever.

RE: Is it better to be loved or to love ???? :)

Love is not inherent to humans. It is not a construct we can attain to control in any way. We cannot make it (excepting in the physical expression of what our hearts and spirits scream to the heavens- wonderful for certain but it will always be but a frail shadow of the complete essence of Love).
To Love is the only way we will ever be able to receive Love as it is intended. Love only works if you give it away and is its own reward, anything less is akin to trapping a bird in a cage. No matter how gilded, nor matter the luxuries, no matter the intention, once it is caged it will die. Clipping the wings or caging both are detriments and not conducive to Love in any way. Love does not expect nor demand, it is only to be given. When we receive it is likewise a blessing but only when it is given, not asked nor demanded, nor expected.
