Thank you to this group of people who see outside of the box.

[mother earth]

I want to thank you and celebrate all of you that give others hope. All of you who make us believe there is still humanity, still love, still a universe that cannot be defined in simple terms.

I love to hear Michio Kaku speak about quantum theory and I love that Einstein believed the universe is far to big and we understand far too little of it for God/universe to be defined. There is far more to the universe than a personal Jesus and we can't even begin to fathom that concept.

When I hear or read criticism of so called "woo", I laugh because science seems to validate from time to time, so much of what is unknown. Man once believed the world was flat. I guess if you can't see it or feel it, it must not exist right?

Let's hope that REASON will grow and understanding will prevail over hate and fear.

Namaste, ASAH. I salute the god in all of you, you are truly a gift to DU.

I hope that ((IHAD)) lurks & reads,

"As a whole, parapsychologists are nice, honest people, while the critics are cynical, nasty people."

3. Here's my fave on the ones who see things differently ala Steve Jobs:

Here's to the crazy ones, the misfits, the rebels, the troublemakers, the round pegs in the square holes... the ones who see things differently -- they're not fond of rules... You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them, but the only thing you can't do is ignore them because they change things... they push the human race forward, and while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius, because the ones who are crazy enough to think that they can change the world, are the ones who do. -- Steve Jobs

6. thank you mother earth, for being here

For the few years I have been with DU, I have always loved your posts.

[mother earth]

12. That's how I feel about all of you here. DU is incredible, ASAH is special. Always something to

learn along the way.

7. How Lovely!

I have been feeling very grateful to all of you as well, and thinking that this group contains a cornucopia of great people with unimaginable talents and vision.

To think that we all found each other!

We have monolithic quantum touch for our hearts and souls any time we decide to step inside awhile.

How lucky is that?

8. Thank you, mother earth! :)

And Thank You, too, for taking the time and effort (and energy) to wade into the fray over in Religion. I don't have the stamina, much less the patience, to do such a thing. I have noticed a couple of other "unbelievers" over there that are taking their fellows to task as well. I'm sure you know who they are, but I hope our hosts take a look, and welcome them here. I think they might actually like it here, too

10. The doors are being held open...

and the price of admission: Love one another!

[mother earth]

11. It's the most welcoming place at DU, always has been.

There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle.

The other is as though everything is a miracle.

13. Please come back more often!

All kindnesses swell within.

And then travel

Out to the next willing soul

who wants

or needs to receive.

[mother earth]

14. Now THAT describes ASAH to a T.

Carry on, friends.

15. Never underestimate the number who read here and do not post.

For a variety of reasons there are quite a few who choose to read but do not choose to post. It may be something as simple as feeling there is nothing left to add to the discussion, or it may even be a fear of wading into a new place. Whatever the personal reason, it is important to realize that by being willing to be open we can offer an insight into something that maybe is not represented in everyone's day to day life.

Peace to all and--welcome to any who are new to the path.

16. OMG!!!! I just LOVE you MotherEarth!!!!!

I always enjoy your posts.


I know some folks don't understand ASAH and thankfully it’s not necessary that they do.
Unfortunately some folks get just as self righteous and start loudly evangelizing for non religious thought just as intensely has any other religious inquisition that has come before them. It also makes them just as obsolete as all the other inquisitions .

17. Thank you for being here

Thank you to everyone here. I get trapped by the box, I know the box smells and needs serious air freshener, but sometimes can't see outside it at all, but sometimes I do, and I always want to.

Thanks to everyone here who opens the lid of the box rather than attempting to duct tape it shut, which is the go-to activity for many in the world.
