So what's going to become of SS?
In the last 30 posts, we have things from as far back as july and such, it seems the forum is dying off a tad? Will it pick up again, or is it jsut a very casual place now?
I'm not sure what to think, but i'll keep tabs when i have time. Which isnt saying much really, i have very little time these days, but i thought i'd ask about.
Meanwhile, i am spending some of that rare time on another forum i posted in the links section which has so far helpped me in a lot of areas of my life and i have learned a bit about personal growth.
It's helpped me keep my cool under stress, which i deal with a lot these days.
If anyone is interested, that is.
Meanwhile, i hope to see the forum pick up some. It's been a while since i've poked my head in, but i will try to do so a bit more often.

I really hope it doesn't die. Even though most people don't have time to post as often as they used to (which I completely understand, seeing as I'm rather short on time myself), people do still post.

I hope it doesn't die either, but at the same time I've always told you guys, real life comes first, and the spiritual realm a close second. Cyber just has to fit in where it will. I feel like we each had a lot of things to work out... and stuff we just had to do. I am a content writer typing for dollars now. Del's still working in the orient, and everyone is either working, going to school or both.
As for me I have been working through some things, and trying to understand how the physical world works... it's a scary place sometimes and it took withdrawing from my normal way of thinking to see things from another prospective. I am working on some ideas for a book, but so far... well it's so easy to write someone else's articles about things I know nothing about, till I research, but lately writing about my own ideas, feelings and philosophies has become difficult. It's like I see multiple perspectives all at once and can't settle on a POV. I'm trying to learn not to always be such a freak. LOL
I think the best analogy for my problem is that... well up until about 15 years ago, I used the public library. I always noticed that the books I liked were always dusty. One time I decided to pick up a book I had read about 10 years before and I decided to check out the little card in the back, and discovered that I was right It had been over 10 years and I was the last one to check it out. I started to check the other books I liked, and discovered that none of the books I read are the books anyone else in my town reads. The fiction section of my library was always packed, especially around the romance shelves, but no one reads the religion shelves, the philosophy shelves or the new age stuff. Anyway I just thought the people in my town were unusually stupid and shallow... and in the rest of the world people were interested in the stuff I was interested in.
Then when I started trying to write content, very little of what I am interested in makes the top 20 or even top 100 subjects on any of the writer sites. I think maybe this means I am weird. Believe it or not, subjects like recipes and fashion actually interest other people. I am absolutely shocked by this. I thought those were just things women talked about to avoid revealing anything about themselves... like when people talk about the weather. I can't believe that when people are alone and they can look up anything in the world on this wonderful device they actually waste an awful lot of that time looking up recipes, fashion and various other boring stuff... which apparently they don't find boring at all.
Anyway I am not sure what's up with that, and the closest thing to a mainstream interest I have found is politics... I have been researching the current political and economic situation a lot... it's screwed up... and I've been kind of stressed by some of the things I have learned. I am very interested in the Occupy movement and spend a lot of my spare time on Facebook talking about politics. I am learning specifically about personality as it relates to politics. The reasons for people's political views are deep and psychological, not just upbringing and the information that is available to them, as I always thought.
Anyway my mind's been all over the place, but I am glad some people are returning to the site. I'll try to check in daily if you guys have something to talk about. I've not been feeling really magical lately, but I am still obsessed with the topic. IF anyone has an idea of how to get back into the swing of our spiritual conversations I'd be happy to engage in conversation on these topics... I might start a topic soon myself if I can think of something.
