It only takes the light from one candle to chase darkness away. Thank you for being that light in my life.

There is an agnostic belief in a being called the “Demiurge”
kind of a convoluted story, but basically, he is both the devil and the old testament God..you know, the jealous, and vengful and kinda mean one
according to what i have read, the Demiurge is not so much evil as he is currupt , and wishes to be worshiped as and take credit for all creation, when really he just created the fleshly parts. He abhors the dessimination of knowledge and treasures ignorance and weakness of the mind and heart, only because it makes it easier for him to look like the true power and source of all
From my further understanding, he is also behind almost every cult since the begining of human history, from the worship of Ba’al right up to scientology
the few strong groups, the Druids among them, have manged to make the persuit of truth paramount, as opposed to the persuit of power, which is the Demiurges coin of choice
He is free to grant anything in this realm, any power or wish or desire, but he can take nothing form you without your permission
long answer, but thats the devil in my opinion, just one big stuffed suit looking for the next best deal
oh, i shouted in a post..haha..long nite..good, but long.
I was wondering, you do have 2 empty spots on your recom books page,..and, The Little Prince is, or was for me, a spiritual awakening for so many children..it would fit the theme i think??
I recently read a novel that implied (fiction, and I CANNOT remember the name of it) that SamHien was the same being as the grim reaper and the arch angel Micheal..
Halloweenland, I think it was,,just fun reading, and I wish the writer had elaborated..
wow… found notebook. That’s gotta be wierd. I know what it felt like to find a lost loves notebook, and read her words… I can only imagine to find my moms! I know you’ll be ok… just wishing you good shocks while going over this ‘bump’.

Well, thank you, Rich. the biggest bit-o-wisdom anyone ever laid on me:
Keep on keepin on.
what else is there? And, beyond the real world stresses, I KNOW how incredibly frustrating it can be to hold out a helping hand, just to have it smacked away. try to help 1000 people, and it might stick with 1..good enough, job done for the day.
I know better than any old silly education system whats best for my little genius.
ye Gods, some kids are just not smart, but what parent wants to admit that?
My issue..the parent is withholding appropriate knowledge from her child, like some kind of mad tyrant..but I cannot say that in the post..Good Day, Friend.
thank you Brian. yeah… I was thinking that earlier … better to know or all of a sudden… ugghhh who know?! But I think I’ll be ok.. just so many personal concerns that bug me, and try to get in my way of being there… so I start the program I wanted to start next quarter? Do I go for that promotion… if I don’t go for the promotion how will my kids fair… ugh lots of choices :) Guess I better sit down and make out that plan (to the best of my ability). But more than anything… thank you for your words… them mean a great deal to me.
Thank you :)

ahhhh I see… well I agree with you about mods and their need. I had a mod close me down for a word I used… told me the entire post was good, but if I could have just used a different word. jeeze!
It is SO GOOD to see you as a mod! Finally Help does something right! I don’t know how long it’s been but I only just noticed. Maybe you can give lessons to other mods. :)

it’s cool. I appreciate that, but if you do slip and call me Brian sometime, it is no problem…and I shall continue to refer to you as Rich, or even Good Ole Rich, if that is okay with you, haha
Brian… just so you know… I do not call you Brian in the postings out of respect for your screen name. I figure if you wanted to use your real name… it would be published… since it is not, I respect that. :)
~Richard
it is fine, man..i was not offended at all. No problem, and believe me, at the age of 34, this has no sting for me. I actually feel bad for pointing it out. sorry
wow… Brian… I hate it when I am just teasing someone… some one I like, yet know little about, and it turns out the teasing is sooooooo insensative (out of ignorance). I apologize for the being like dad crack. You’re obviously NOTHING like your father.
