Well, I have some really good news, and some not-so-great news.
The great news? I have been Ordained (I shit you not!) and am available to perform weddings for those of you you are in accord, who are competely Aligned. Those of you who are Aligned require no further explanation. I will officiate for a pittance so long as you will cover meals, lodging and business class air travel or a decent rental car from Seattle, WA.
The bad news? Well, I am afraid there's no use beating around the bush. The rest of you can expect to be disinstantiated. Soon. Oh maybe not this Hextemp, but certainly before the end of the 5th. Can you align in time? That's really not for me to say. It is completely up to you. Don't you agree?

Trevor,
I am guessing from your quizzical reply that it is probably too late to begin Tuning.
Sorry, man. Seriously. No hard feelings, eh?

I would mention the religion I think he's talking about, but I don't want to get sued.

Oh, Mike, don't insult us. *Those* people are freakin' delusional!
We, and I mean that in the most complete sense, have no intention to sue *anyone* (except maybe for a really deliberate case of slander).
Among other things, there's not enough time, is there?

That would be pretty derivative, wouldn't it? Not to mention pointless. If ever there were a bunch of blooming DIs (no pun intended, but a good one anyway!) they're it.
Sorry, I don't mean to mock those that haven't chosen. I need to go chasten myself for a bit.

On second thought, make it a double. In fact, just keep 'em coming until I understand this shit.

Who are *Those* people? I think that's the main problem with society today- everyone blames *Those* people who really don't exist most of the time. If it's the reiligon I think people are talking about would this link get me sued?

I felt the need to comment purely because I have absolutely no clue what you just said (or typed, I guess) Well, I got the good and great news parts, I think, but that bad news bit, hmmmm

Well, you know, I woulda guessed that.
But I can't know who's Eligible out there on the BBS, and maybe some of you wouldn't want to speak up anway. But hey, if anybody's Tuning and wants to discuss, just PM me with a key.
Sorry I am late getting back to this thread. I have been out there making some Progress. oh, and I didn't want to stomp all over the "live your life differently" thread, which looks interesting.
Oh, and I didn't want to imply that I would only perform wedding ceremonies for Aligned. I'm open to marrying anyone on a time-and-materials basis (travel costs plus, say, $200 for the ceremony) in what time remains. Getting married is important!

Google seems to have a mind of its own sometimes, doesn't it? No, Text is quite clear. Google is just a tool, after all. What does it really *know*?
Jeff, you are young, smart, and very interested in the truth from what I can tell. I'd say, keep reading.

Yeah, well, the bad news part won't be so good. On the upside, though, none of this short-term stuff should be quite so aggravating. For the long haul, though, I would try toi find some Text, start Tuning.
Gott a go. Back soon.

Uhhh....sort of. It's called Gnosticism, and actually the movie "Dark City" was more based on it than it on the movie.
Wow. I have seen Dark City, and I have even wandered around some Cathar ruins in Languedoc, but these parallels completely escaped me. So after I read this, I was up at an ordination in Vancouver and I raised these issues, and, well, I will say that it was received like a fart on a submarine. Lucky me. As reward for my efforts at improving the Dialogue, I was given the task of writing up some materials on key differentiators -- something that we can use as a handout before, for lack of a better term, the IPO. Crap, more work.
Anyhow, the Albigensians were hooked on this notion of the world as evil. Well, that can't be, can it? Plus, they were pretty advanced in some respects, but were they object-oriented? Had they even heard of the term??
