Hello again...
your present series of articles is starting to get very interesting
now with all of the connections you are making, and some of these things/connections
you are writing about I have not heard anywhere else except in my own
ideas.
This is difficult to fully explain, but this "quest" (or whatever
it is) that some people seem to be pursuing appears to have certain distinguishing
characteristics which I have noticed over the years that I have been investigating
them. I've sort of come to expect it now, but it still amazes me when
I discover that so many of the writers/thinkers etc that I have been interested
in the past (in the context of this "quest") are connected to one another,
and it is interesting to trace the influences of such people on the currently
pervading paradigms in our culture, and this is where I'd like to just
tell you a few ideas/perceptions I have had over the years which may relate...
I have been an avid fan of science fiction for just about as long
as I can remember, and I even write the stuff. It seems that there are
certain ideas which are being promoted through this medium, and its moved
into high gear now with the bombardment of more science fiction on television
than ever before. There was once a time when I would probably watch just
about any sci fi that would be on TV, but these days there is just so
much of it that if I were to do that, I'd have little time for anything
else! I am of the opinion that these science fiction genre stories are
coming to closely resemble something like a modern day mythology(s), in
a time when the traditional religious of the past x-thousand years are
finally fading away, I think there is some kind of widening vacuum in
the collective minds of humanity that yearns to be filled with something
of substance, and in our technologically dependent culture, it makes sense
that this "substance" would take on this form. Heck, even this huge conspiracy
that you are referring to is being named after a science fiction movie/series!
(Unless "Stargate" also has some older point of reference...)
Anyway, what is most interesting to me in some of the concepts you
have hinted at in some of these latest articles, is one that I think relates
to the "alternative 3" scenario, and its subsequent effect on the future
of humanity. Practically every story I have written involves a future
in which humanity has been divided into two distinct groups. One group
is a kind of primitive culture with no real knowledge of substance, where
"the elite" have upped and left. This society of "primitives" live in
a world that has suddenly had the cultural cortex ripped out, leaving
them confused. The other side of the future culture consists of this elite
and their descendants, who have walled themselves away in a high-tech
environment of their own design, effectively living in their view "above"
nature in a totally sterile technological environment. Usually in my stories,
both of these cultures are shown to have very similar problems and end
up starting to stagnate. Sometimes the two cultures live separately, with
the elite living in an impenetrable city or something, and sometimes they
live in the same environment, only in this case the "primitives" are people
who have had all sense of history and purpose deleted from their culture
and are thus ruled by the elite who have implemented their own kind of
techno-religion.
This scenario sounds very similar to certain things you have mentioned
as being the possible outcome of some of these "conspiracies" or whatever
you want to call them. I only quite recently realised that almost every
story I had written had this theme in, I had been expressing this concept
unconsciously for years until I had done enough of the "work" to get it
to conscious level, and I wonder how it is that I ever even knew about
any of this (and I've come up with some pretty far out explanations believe
me). It seems to me that this recent flurry of activity and the sudden
huge popularity of science fiction might be indicative or some kind of
mass thought-experiment to kind of "rehearse" the future.... And imagination
is the key to the akashic!
On another but related note, this information about psychopaths is
also very interesting in relation to a strange phenomena I have observed
over the last few years. You mentioned somewhere about certain strange
linguistic "glitches" that psychopaths occasionally exhibit. Have you
noticed this very same behaviour in speeches and so on by certain presidents??
For a while now I have suspected that there was something more to this
phenomenon, and it all makes sense. I'm sure you've come across lists
of stupid or absurd sounding comments made by various presidents, and
the current one seems to have made a lot of these already! Perhaps this
is an indicator of their natures? It makes a certain sense to me as I
have always wondered what exactly was going on in the minds of people
who preach peace, justice and freedom etc in one breath and then authorise
the sale of arms to oppressive dictatorships with another. Or who speak
of protecting human life whilst condemning thousands to die in poorer
countries by their actions which they are SURELY aware of. These two positions
just do not make any logical sense....
And, in relation to my earlier topic of science fiction, you might
be interested to know (if you already don't) about a series I recently
became re-aquatinted with and realised it may have some bearing on this
subject. Its called "Prey" and deals with the emergence of another type
of human being who do not seem to have any regard for the usual "morals"
of common humanity. A brief synopsis of the plot I found on a website
reads:
"What if global warming was changing our DNA? What if the changes
were not good? In this sci-fi series, our questions are answered. Sloan
Parker is a bio-anthropologist who has just discovered that Darwin's theory
might be very relevant here. The human race hides an alternate race among
its own, a more intelligent breed of serial killers. Their goal: to destroy
human-kind in order to let the strong ones survive them... "
This seems to have many of the characteristics I have noticed in such
things, they all exhibit certain concepts which are all part of the overall
mosaic, and each one relating the concepts slightly differently and in
different combinations... like a rehearsal or preparation for the outcome
of events already in progress perhaps?

I have been reading with great interest your most recent series, "Adventures
With Cassiopaea". I find pretty much all of your site interesting, but
this series in particular so closely mirrors certain events in my own
life that I felt I should write to you about them.
The way you have described the whole situation with this associate
of yours, Frank, is extremely similar to activities I have experienced
with certain people in my own life. What is interesting is that, like
yourself and the group you have formed, I and the person I am referring
to were once part of a group with very similar interests, or at least
that is the way I perceived it at the time. This "group" no longer really
exists as it did, but especially during the late 90's was when we were
at the height of our activity. In comparison to what you have been doing,
we were nowhere near as coherent or dedicated, and some of the group were,
in retrospect, not really all that interested in what I in particular
was trying to push forward with, and at the time I may well have been
somewhat "preachy" about such matters.
Anyway what is of most interest here is that, like you, I was so completely
enamoured with this person, who seemed so innocent and so incredibly similar
to me that, that after a few years of association, when he clearly started
to "change" and do things which were frankly abhorrent to me (and I dare
say, would be to most people), I simply ignored it and let him get on
with it, saying that it was all part of an "awakening process" or something
like that, because I simply could not believe that this person, who had
just seemed to be like a perfect companion for me, could ever act in such
a way, despite the clear facts that were plainly there for me to see.
As time went on he became more and more parasitical, and I could clearly
feel this energy drain you have been referring to, which was causing me
all kinds of personal dilemmas despite the fact that I knew in good conscience
I was doing nothing wrong, simply making personal, individual decisions
which were really none of his business. However, my concern for offending
this person's sense of ego and concern about his possible reaction caused
be all kinds of dilemmas, and for a time caused me to even act in a way
which made me sick to my stomach (having to keep secrets and tell little
white lies).
Eventually I resolved the matter with him by revealing what I had
been hiding all this time, it was a personal matter which I won't go into
the details of here, but suffice to say that after I simply told the truth
without fear, either for my own sense of importance or of offending his
seemingly delicate ego, he left the scene and I haven't seen him since.
At the climax of these events, after thinking and worrying so much
and for so long about it all, I had weighed up the pros and cons of the
situation in my mind to a startling degree of accuracy (I think...). And
as a result of this, when I told this person the truth about the whole
situation I experienced a revelatory sense of clarity, where I was able
to see both the positive and negative aspects of almost everything very
clearly. It was like an immense energy release. I told this to him there
and then, and his reaction to this information was to claim some sort
of personal responsibility for it, as if he was the one who was revealing
this amazing information to me, in this sense (and in various other very
similar ways over the years) he was attempting to take credit and glory
for something that he had very little to do with, which I find very similar
to what you have been writing about with Frank and his attempts to take
all the credit for your work.
You mentioned somewhere in your series about "other groups" which
were working in a similar way. While we were not doing channeling or anything
like that, we were all very interested in "The conspiracy" and the changes
that were taking place in the world at large, and what we could possibly
do personally to make sure it all turned out as good as possible for everyone
on the planet. While I can't say for sure that there was a group of seven
at any time, I can say that I did start to write a science fiction story
for a local magazine which was loosely based on our "adventures". In the
story, a group of seven individuals were battling against "the conspiracy"
who originated from a dark, parallel universe. What is interesting is
that one of the main features and most striking images in this story was
an enormous tower that existed in various different parallel universes
and was located in a specific place in the story, near to where we all
lived, and I have recently discovered that there are plans to make a real
tower pretty much exactly in the place it was in the story!
This leads me to The Matrix. In that movie, they mention that there
are other rebel "cells", much like the one the main characters are all
a part of, although we never see any of them (maybe in the next part...).
This made a great deal of sense to me, especially as that movie also had
some astounding parallels with my own life. The idea of these "cells"
was one we were already operating with, and has in fact been a theme in
my life for quite a while now, but in this particular case it was somewhat
inspired by a story called "The Invisibles" (which the author of got rather
annoyed when the Matrix first came out, because he thought the writers
had ripped him off). If you can bring yourself to read a comic series,
I highly recommend reading this. Judging by what I can discern about your
taste for fiction from your site, I think you would like it, it deals
with a lot of very similar and related subjects to many of your investigations,
and the author was inspired to write it after having an encounter with
hyperdimensional beings. Most of the issues have been collected into single
editions now. The author is called Grant Morrison.
So, I have been on the lookout for this type of activity with other
people I know, looking for other "cells", and it seems that the same archetypes
play themselves out whenever a group effort is made to find some kind
of truth about reality.
Do you think it is possible that a kind of "program" has been running
(I personally would say from around the early 90's onwards), in the lives
of certain people from around the world who had the intent to discover
the truth? Like I say, the parallels are pretty startling to me, and I
am pretty sure there is something to this, and am interested if the C's
have ever mentioned anything alluding to this.
Keep up the good work. I for one appreciate it. -

Laura, you write: "For people who have a serious interest in the path
of awakening and becoming free according to this most ancient teaching
that has been hidden for long ages until the present time, there is no
clear and explicit source of information."
Au contrair my dear, YOU are that "clear and explicit source."
I just finished part 7....it was like church. I had forgotten how
much I had learned from Castaneda, and the Ephesians 6:12 just blew me
away. It is unbelievable how your writing has drawn together all of the
bits and fragments of knowledge that I had accumulated over the years,
but never assembled into any kind of cohesive philosophy. Bless you
Don
Dear Laura,
I am learning so much from your latest stuff.In fact I'm finding
answers to questions I have been thinking about on the same day.I have
experienced many Franks in my life.This is helping me very much.I am delighted
you are writing about it.This must be very theraputic for you as well.I
love your work.I too have always asked the "WHY"questions. I've read Amazing
Grace and I am now reading" the wave" chapter 12 part e today as well
as your recent work.This has been alot of fun learning.Yes I have been
scared from some of the information as well,but when I keep reading iit
all seems to balance out somehow.You keep on keeping on Laura Knight.
one of your readers,

Dear Ark and Laura:
It has been some time since I have closely followed your joint efforts.
I expect to spend a lot more time reviewing the new material in the near
future. I should be able to offer some support to both of you in a number
of ways in the near future. The main purpose of this message is to give
to you now my person best wishes and to encourage you both to fight. I
am sure that the C's have good plans for each of us. Those in 6D tell
me that Christ will have to fight his opponents this time and as he progresses
towards man-hood he is learning that there is quite a battle ahead. You
both have one great advantage over your opponents and that is you have
access to the truth on an ongoing basis. Your opponents do not have access
to this no matter what they say. They have to lie and every lie can and
is eventually found out. I have had my own battles against the agents
and their controllers and I have found that increasingly the controllers
are destroying their own agents when they are unable t fully complete
their mission.
yours truly B. W.
L*,
Your "The Taste For Things That Are True" brings to mind the macrocosm
of the World and the microcosm of a school. In a school, you have a few
of those that love to learn and are good at it, you have a few of those
that hate and ridicule those that learn and are good at it (hating), and
you have the vast majority of those that "blow with the wind". Examine
the number of hits your site gets, examine the number of positive communications
you get. I have found that in any discussion group that is thriving, there
is always an element that gets in and under a variety of nicknames they
try to draw attention to themselves. They enjoy pulling people's chains
and push the limits of what they can get away with. You see, for these
few (that seeem like many) ANY attention is good attention. As in the
macrocosm, society has its bad element that necessitates police and security,
the same can be said with any smaller organization that begins to thrive.
In short, hang in there.

Hi Laura,
Another insightful series, thank you. I’m sure you feel that you have
had your share of agents, “Petty Tyrants” and other “Hostile Characters”
in your life and I commend you for your warrior approach! These individuals
or groups may thing they have the upper hand since they typically deal
the hand we are forced to play. But you have something they only dream
of having even when they are stacking the deck in their favor and hiding
what they perceive as "trump cards" up their sleeves. What they don’t
realize is that even with all their “tricks” they will never beat your
hand. Because in your hand you have the TRUTH.

I am really enjoying the new series, especially the way you explained
and integrated in the Castaneda and Gurdjieff material which was very
eye opening.
If I could ask a favor, one thing I have in common with you (Laura) is
the Christian background and experience base. I know how hard it is to,
on the one hand, analyze the Bible and Christian Theology objectively
(and see the contradictions and other shortcomings) but at the same time,
be drawn to the figure of Christ and some of the teachings in the New
Testament. I mean, "Paul" was claimed by the Gnostics as one of their
own, and with good reason as Freke and Gandy explained in "The Jesus Mysteries".
Yet very "charismatic" hard-core Christian friends of mine are seeing
remarkable miracles and healings taking place, "words of knowledge" and
other prophetic/revelatory events, even physically visible manifestations
like a sort of lightning-bolt and balls of light that appeared in connection
with one person that I know personally. They all want to take it as proof
of their beliefs, yet I have a sense that their strong "beliefs" are creating
higher-dimensional effects.
Can you please give some comments as to where you personally stand on
that issue at the present? What I mean is, sometimes you quote the Bible
to great effect, but I know that you don't see it as a unique revelation
(or, the ONLY revelation) from God. So what degree of truth or efficacy
or applicability do you ascribe to it, and why? I assume that as the "Wave"
begins to impact our time/space locale, it will engender more supernatural
effects among Christians whose theologies allow for that...how would you
respond to that since they will take it as validation of their beliefs?
Or is it one of those things that no amount of logic can overcome, since
any manifestations of similar powers ("charismata/gifts") by any non-Christians
are just ascribed to "Satan" or demons acting to deceive??
Thanks a lot for all your efforts. Carpe Diem, and watch your
backsides!!

Looong comment here. . .
While reading through "Adventures with the Cassiopeans Pt. 7", I was delighted
to see you republish Castaneda's chapter on Petty Tyrants.
In the final days of the year of the Snake, during which, according to
Chinese astrology, old systems and structures are shattered and ended,
all of which seems disastrous and terrible, but which, we are told, is
actually a vital thing as it clears the way for the new. The Year of the
Horse which follows is all about what I call, New Project Energy, being
the wonderful enthusiasm with which new entrepreneurs launch their dreams
and inventive schemes upon the world stage. –For which no obstacles have
yet been met, and so no hopes have yet been dashed. What a time! Very
exciting stuff, and the Year of the Snake must prelude this when the old
systems are exploded.
The year of the Snake has been likened to the ‘Tower' from the Tarot deck.
Anyway. . .
Castaneda is one of my favorite writers. If you haven't already, I recommend
you read one of Florinda Donner's books, "Being in Dreaming," wherein
she interacts with Don Juan and Carlos. –Seeing Carlos through her eyes
is absolutely fascinating!
Although, I did come across in one of your passages, an email correspondence
to you from an anthropologist who declared the high probability of Florinda's
being a conn-artist, by way of friends in the field whom he considered
very reliable. This, naturally, was cause for a review. I no longer know
exactly where I stand in regard to FD's material, but I still find that
her work resonates with me. Her messages aren't of the Love & Light quality.
(But then perhaps I am just a fool.) No matter. I don't mind playing the
fool so long as I don't allow myself to invest emotionally in her words.
With further learning and an open mind, any false info will surely be
annihilated. For the time being, however, I think the book mentioned above
is still worth a look if you have not read it. Even if it is full of lies,
she writes quite beautifully.
In any case, I have been treading lightly around these final days of the
Snake, (which ends, I believe on Feb 12 of 2002). Like other readers who
have written in to you, I find myself in the company of people who may
not be good for me.
Because I seem to be fairly adroit in avoiding such snares as laid out
by Psychic Vampires, I remain in good spirits and good health. But recently,
I found myself in the midst of a huge trap setting itself up, and I confess
to having had trouble in deciding which way to jump.
I am a writer and cartoonist, and I have produced several light-hearted
fantasy adventure books over the last decade. I have taken a great deal
of care in crafting my work so as to help as best I can, my readers on
their journeys through life. I don't know how successful I have been,
but when I survey the results and the audience reaction, I am cautiously
pleased with the results. I want very much to be generous and creative
and compassionate and strong and all those things. The more I learn, the
more I realize just how careful I must be, stories being as powerful as
they are; often times a direct link into the unconscious.
Anyway, I have in the last couple of years become friendly with some very
powerful people; those who can see and manipulate energy directly. --Who
have helped me to see energy to a limited degree as well. These are the
kind of people who create powerful eddies in the social fabric around
them.
One of them is a very talented musician whose company I enjoy very much.
He strikes me in nearly every way as being an honest and earnest individual.
His music has been on top ten radio play lists a couple of times during
the last ten years, and he will be producing a new album shortly. He wants
to work collaboratively with me in some aspect. He wants to make an animated
video involving characters and scenes from my works.
Now, I normally work on a fairly small stage; I have been comfortable
with a limited readership and modest sales which keep me clothed and fed
and comfortable, but very little more. I have been approached several
times by numerous media companies interested in exploiting my work, among
them some of the most recognizable corporate entities in the entire world.
I have turned them all away for reasons which seem plainly obvious to
me but which sometimes confuse those close to me.
I don't mind at all working in near obscurity, and as such, I have been
able to produce some very clean work. My musician friend's offer is only
the second time I have been seriously tempted to expand beyond my normal
creative activities into areas where much larger audiences can be reached.
(The reason I am considering it this time is primarily that no corporate
money will be involved, and that I know and trust the other people involved.)
I ended up working in comics by default, because animation seemed too
large and difficult a mountain when I was in my early twenties. –I recognized
that I could easily spend 10 years fighting a very difficult system of
big money and corporate interests before I would be allowed the kind of
creative freedom comics offered right then and there. So I jumped into
comics. Working in animation, however, was always my original desire.
And now, (after nearly ten years of plodding through comics, oddly enough),
an offer for creative freedom in animation has come my way.
In any case, working with my musician friend is invigorating and exciting.
However, I worry, in that I don't know, especially now that my own on-going
paper based publishing efforts have hit a wonderful new level, if I will
have the time to devote to a large project. –Particularly something as
exhausting, expensive and uncertain as an animated production.
My friend is a dreamer, and I believe he means well, and I have seen him
display charismatic powers in groups which are entirely capable of motivating
the required components necessary to put a large and expensive project
into force. Yet I remain very concerned that my smaller aspirations will
go unfinished if I allow my attention to wander now. (I have only about
two more years of work remaining before I complete this story upon which
I have been toiling for the last decade! I want to complete my work before
shifting gears.)
--Especially, since the story I am writing is now beginning to deal with
magic and awareness; the kinds of patterns I believe which will be of
use to people in the approaching difficult days. I have been deeply moved
and inspired by the work you have done, and I believe it will give new
force to my writing.
However, the kind of work my friend and I would be doing also deals with
these sorts of topics in a musical and animated story telling form. The
film, The Matrix, is an example of a useful film project, even if it was
rather creepy in other ways. (The Matrix seemed to me a clever way of
making people want to choose the blue pill en masse. For instance, I have
found waking up, while frightening at the beginning, to be ANYTHING but
the equivalent to finding myself in a dreary existence aboard a rusting
ship sprung from the heart of some industrial nightmare. It seems almost
a way of making people fear enlightenment. Also. . . I just made an odd
association a short while ago. Those bizarre sunglasses Neo and Trinity
wore. Take a look at them. They always bothered me on some deep level
I didn't understand, but disregarded as being merely a weird looking fashion
trend. But I just realized. When you put those things on, it transforms
your head into something that looks very much like a Grey's face. What
is that all about?
Perhaps it is nothing; as always, I am proceeding from a deep distrust
of all things Hollywood.. In any case, I worry about getting involved
in big money, high exposure projects. There is so much room for corruption;
the film and television infrastructure being designed almost exculsively
around thought-control. And yet. . , film and television retain the elusive
promise of having vast potential for doing good.
In short, I don't know if I am being distracted by STS forces, or offered
an opportunity by STO.
Perhaps it is both, and it is up to me to make it what I want. –An idea,
which does not make the problem any easier.
Anyway. . .
The second of my two powerful friends is a girl who has gone through enormous
difficulties in life. Among the warning signs are: her family has had
long and tight dealings with and employment in high level government.
She has had deep dealings with black magic and extended sex-related STS
behavior, the general descriptions of which make my skin crawl. –She has
described to me a variety of horrible things to me in spurts over the
two years I have known her. Indeed, she tells me that she was very concerned
that I would be scared away from her if I knew right off some of the things
she has been involved with.
She actually used the words "Service to Self" to describe an approach
to life which she believes to be valid. And, to my knowledge, she has
not read your work! Clearly, to disregard these indicators would be foolish
in the extreme.
However. . .
She has been almost heroic in her dealings with me. Early on, I fell in
love with her, and as such, made myself vulnerable to her in numerous
ways which she declined to take advantage of, explaining that she would
hate herself if she, "snuffed my light out". --I had no idea what she
was talking about until later. I then spent a rather torturous year trying
to control my feelings for her, (during which she was very careful not
to exacerbate the situation, for which I am endlessly grateful!), and
as a result, I have become very strong indeed in a variety of ways, and
I have her to thank! I understand that sometimes, in 5th Density, we make
agreements to provide adversaries for each other in order that we might
learn valuable lessons. I am quite proud of the person I am becoming,
and this fills me with respect, and frankly, relief. She could have hurt
me very badly indeed, but instead has helped me become what I am today.
My musician friend tells me that after meeting her, he had undone and
healed some really ugly energy attachments and blockages within her, (as
he is entirely able due to his abilities in manipulating energy, as I
can attest from some direct and fascinating personal experiences), and
that her behavior and thinking have improved greatly in the time he has
been her friend. I definitely see her struggling internally with the battle
of STS over STO. My concern, much like yours with Frank, is that abandoning
her might send a painful message and thus make her battle more difficult.
I dearly do not want to do that. Even though she worries me, I still like
her and value her company.
As she is in her very early twenties, she is still at that stage where
one is working out exactly who one is and how to proceed in life. She
is still making her choices. Of late, however, she has been quite difficult;
possessive and immature, and she has caused many problems whenever the
musician and I attempt to work on our tentative project.
You wrote the following quote in "Adventures with the Cassiopeans":
"Master K'ung said, There are three sorts of friend that are profitable,
and three sorts that are harmful. Friendship with the upright, with the
true-to-death and with those who have knowledge is profitable. Friendship
with the obsequious, friendship with those who are good at accommodating
their principles, friendship with those who are clever at talk is harmful."
She may not be upright or true-to-death, but she certainly has knowledge.
However, while she is by no means obsequious, she is good at accommodating
her principals, and she is VERY good at talk. Evasive, friendly and clever;
sharp as a razor and about as safe. I hope that I will be strong enough
to make the right choices if and when things come to the crunch, and moreover,
I hope very much that she really is fighting towards the light. If she
is fighting in earnest, then I have confidence that she will be successful;
she is strong-willed and she has vast and power at her command. If not,
then I see truly horrifying depths to which she will be able to sink.
She is the sort of person who can lay curses and affect dreams and alter
the course of reality. She could be a very, very good person, or she could
be an absolute terror. (Please pardon my sense of drama.)
Anyway, I am writing this to share and hopefully provide something useful
to you and perhaps others. My difficulties and those of my friends are
our own, (and I hope I am not doing harm by sharing some of their story.
I said that I would not write about them, but I hate secrets, especially
when there is so much here which could benefit others! I hope I have been
general enough not to hurt anybody!)
Being tight-lipped has been constantly sold to the world as an upright
thing, though I can't help but see that whenever secrets are shared, people
learn and become greater for the sharing. It is only rarely that I see
evil benefit when knowledge is put forth honestly and without malice.
This is something I fret over endlessly! There are hundreds of wonderful
stories I refrain from telling because I don't want to hurt or embarrass
the many people I know personally!
As such, I fully recognize the kind of bravery involved with the way you
write. I hold you in deep respect as a writer. (Though, by heaven! You
could use an editor! I think you could cut your word density by at least
30% and significantly raise message clarity. For the web, this isn't really
a problem since much of your work takes the form of a web diary, where
being rough around the edges is both natural and expected. --But if you
ever get things printed in book form, I would suggest getting an editor
to help polish things so that print and distribution costs go down, while
sales and reader connections go up!)
In any case, your work is friendly and earnest, and it has given me such
a wonderful breadth of resources with which to recognize and deal confidently
with problems as they arise. I knew almost nothing of the world of expanded
awareness only two years ago! I have literally been launched from the
McDonald's version of reality into this one in a very sudden manner. While
meeting such powerful people was a primary initiator, discovering your
work has been another. A second opinion, so to speak. (Castaneda has been
a third.) Your website and your no-nonsense attitude have been ground
zero in terms of much of my seemingly endless personal research.
You are doing an excellent job.
While I remain a little fearful, I actually sort of look forward to battles
now, because I am much more able to face them. Truly, knowledge protects!
(Though, I hope my next lesson is not to show that I am mistaken! Yeesh.
But I think I could deal with that now as well.)
Thank you.
