I wish you well. My remarks remain unapologetically honest. You ask for my opinion - you second guess what I think of you - you obsess about one thing or another. In all sincerity, my friend, you need help. There is no shame in recognizing that fact. It is no different than having a physical ailment. I do not say this to further insult you. Your best chance is to be honest with yourself. However, it is your choice.
If you continue to believe that you can dream your way to success and nirvana, then no one will be able to save you from yourself. Heed my words, because you know they are true. You say that I bore you, but you value my opinion and my approval. However, if you are convinced that I will not change my view then you may indeed want to move on. You should know by now however that I won't. I have been consistent and honest from day one with you.

Neo, at this stage I don't know who you are, what you believe or what is going on in your life. But I recognise a call for help when I hear one. If as you say, you are truly open minded, I urge you to consider that you may have an emotional health problem. Certainly your grandiosity, frequent absences and your apparent utter belief in your convictions suggest to me that all is not well.
You are either a Prophet or you are in difficulty, and I don't believe the former.
Please consider your situation. It would do you no harm to run your thoughts and ideas past your local health care professional. If your beliefs and ideas turn out to be justified, then I will be the first person to acknowledge that I have a closed mind.
You are no longer hiding on the edge of your dream Neo, you seem to be balanced on it. Take a few steps back, it's not so bad where we are.

Well said Adey. The advice that you and Al have provided, I agree would be helpful. I try to keep my mind open. The trick is not to keep it too open, lest your brain falls out. New One, the fantastical and magical also needs perspective. They do not rule the day.

You are no longer hiding on the edge of your dream Neo, you seem to be balanced on it. Take a few steps back, it's not so bad where we are. Absolutely spot on Adey! Also what each of you have said makes sense. It has never been my intention to offend anyone or to make my self the centre of attention contrary to how it may seem. You are a great bunch here on this board, the one who has been boring is me! Altruest has a good handle on me (much to my annoyance!) Adey, I do like to explore my darkside; Kate has been a great vehicle to this end. Zan, thanks for your attempt to decipher my last comment. Sven, you understand more than you are aware. Sheila, where are you? Paul, it is nice to read your views and comments. RT, great when you're here. If I promise to refrain from the dream theme and concentrate on "The real stuff" can I come back? Sorry for being, to quote Altruest, "a drama junkie"

If I promise to refrain from the dream theme and concentrate on "The real stuff" can I come back? We never asked you to leave in the first place. Of course you are welcome here. If you chose to keep some things private, that's your descision. You will also be received better if you do as you've said in the quote.

This subject is so very contentious for it is the grey area of our consciousness. Being one who previously had no belief in an ability to divine reality beyond the five senses, I have experience that it is possible to develop our talents to include going beyond what appears to be the here and now.
Everyone has it, some choose to believe it, others prefer the solid foundation of objective reality and only believe it when they see it. Wayne Dyer has a book called, "You'll see it when you believe it" I strongly recommend it if you wish to explore your inate talents.

Contentious maybe, NEO, but what is not understood is not yet viable. However, it would be stupid to think that heightened perception is not possible. Just today, I was thinking about the numbers I was keying into my cell-phone. Someone picked up those specific vibrations. If machines can do this, then I'm sure we can be attuned to even more obscure vibrations. We do it now more on an unconscious level - reacting to eye contact, body language etc. But until breakthoughs are made in the areas of understanding how some certain or specific 'gifts' that some people have, work, then those folks will be considered abnormal - which for now they are. Paranormal activities nonetheless have so much room for doubt. Selfish motives such as profit or prestige make trusting psychics risky at best. I'm not ready to trust anything that is not subject to some either empirical or rational verification. That could be no more than a gut feeling, but it has to strike a chord. To blindly accept the claims of fortune tellers and mystics is, to me, insane. That being said, when I feel it, I do not doubt my intuition. I just don't often chose to share what I can not prove. I believe in 'head in the clouds, and feet on the ground,' Think big - Be responsible. The thing about dreams is, as grand as they may be, it is only through work and responsibility that they come to fruition. Pretty easy for me.
