Subject: Reintroduce yourself thread! Sun Sep 14, 2008 9:20 am
We have all grown... We are all different people from when we first joined these forums. So everyone! Please reintroduce yourself! Tell us a little about you "now" from you "then." I will go first.
I was afraid of many things when I joined this forum. In time I overcame 90 percent of my fears. I have learned much in the area of empathy. I also seem to have become slightly psychic. I train now more then I ever did then. I have met a wonderful woman who I soon am to marry. AND! Above all else! I am content, and happy. I do not want to see this forum fade away. Everyone seems busy I know this. But, in all hopes this thread will get some of you posting again.

You're right scionus, we are different. I sometimes wonder why the nest is so empty now and then. I am sure it is because many of our family have kids, jobs, "things" that take up a lot of their time. I miss the discussions. However, there is so much here to review, think about and, whether we comment about the things we read or not, this place has and I also hope, will continue to inspire, educate and entertain people for as long as it is meant to.
I have become a more compassionate, more thoughtful person, have had a real boost to my faith in humanity, faith in a life still waiting to be discovered, all because of this site. I appreciate everyone and everyone's ideas here. Be well, and keep on posting. Aho!

I haven't been here long, and I haven't posted much, but I'll do this anyway. In the past few months or so, I've grown much more confident in myself and my abilities. I also feel that I've gained alot more magical ability recently. I don't care what people think about me anymore, and I'm not going to stop being myself for someone else. I didn't think it was possible, but I think I have a bigger and cheesier sense of justice than I did a while ago. So yeah, thats how I've changed.

It can be difficult at times to remember that we are part of a larger community. I, myself have trouble with this at times. The past year has been full of daily life changes for me, but I never want to forget that it was in places such as the nest that brought me to where I'm at right this minute. I have a new loving family, new career choices and many new challenges. This being said, all of you have become my family as well and I love each and every one of you. Be well members, Two

I'm here and there many a times, busy with work and dealing with a rebellious teenage son at times.
Since this forum started I have been here, for the compassion of some special friends who are the admin of this forum and moderators.
Over this year, I have realized that life has many ups and downs, both in the physical and a spiritual sense. I have come to learn of letting go some of the negativity and embrace the new venture that I encounter, even if isn't what I have hoped for.
Hugs to all,

My name is Jody and i live in Arkansas. I have been close friends with BTM for over 20 years.
This is a rarity---to have such a longheld freindship and for that I am truly grateful. She is such a bright light. I have always loved her pure energy.
Oh yeah, this was supposed to be about me! hahhahha
Well, I am learning every day and sometimes those lessons are tough. I do pray for my lessons to be gentle and in the grand scheme of things, they are indeed gentle. But tough nonetheless.
I pray to be released of narcissistic ego as much as possible---but slowly and in a gentle way. This prayer is answered each time I feel a narcissistic wounding. And so I try to use that sting to help release me from the need to have praise and approval from others.
I have been getting more into my music lately---for the music and not for the ego stroke of playing to an audience. It is more for me now. This is a good thing.
But it is SO frustrating trying to find other musicians to play with---so that is where I am right now.

hi my name is julian. i may not have introduced myself when i first joined (though i may have)... but that is my way. i seem to be rather enigmatic and enjoy the paradox of being alive on the earth, though at times i do get weary of the dichotomy and polarized game of the human world.
i love the earth and expressions of humanity, a good heart that blossoms. i grew up with a rebellious streak, not finding harmony with the mainstream (aka default setting) of society. intelligent enough to question and look for a better way, understanding. intelligent enough not to do things that endangers others (happy to put myself in that spot though). i like new ways rooted in the wisdom of ages. i like painting myself with the ochres of the earth
it took many years to resurrect my physical body after dealing with emotional and mental states ( both my own and of the collective). which lead me on an amazing path of healing, awakening, ascension.
i have buried both my parents within 6 months of each other, due to cancer a few years ago. i dont like to draw attention to myself, and am quite happy to watch the world as it goes around.
i live in a city of about 1 million people (which is a bit freaky at times for me) but have a creek in the backyard that flows when it storms. this is a subtropical part of australia. i love the beach. i love the rainforest. i love the desert. i love being alone. i have 4 kids and am happily married.
will post this now before i delete it. love elk

Hello, I am a new and bright shinny star, just look up and you might see me. I have shined since the day I was formed, and grow brighter with each new day. I am an old star that has emerged time and time again, only to add to my luster. The greatest thing about being a star, is that we were all formed at the same time, and will all shine bright for eternity.
