Your insights trigger thinking and provide great help with personal growth. I feel that you're one of the world's most influential persons in the making. You would be remembered in history as one of those great people who contributed to the human evolution... This is just a personal feeling / instinct / intuition though... This feeling is probably a result of the connectedness that I've developed with you over the last few months of reading your blog and articles. This (following excerpt) is from your Biographical Info page... Many other great people I have read / heard about had gone through similar phase in their lives... I can relate myself to this... just wanted to share with you. "Age 18-21 was a rather tumultuous time for me. I was learning a great deal about life, the universe, and everything, but my beliefs were shifting so much that my situation was very unstable. I got myself into (and out of) a lot of trouble. After high school I made a half-hearted attempt at going to college, but it went nowhere because school was way too rigid for me; it just wasn't something I cared about at the time. But this was also a period where I learned a great deal about myself, breaking patterns from my old identity and "finding myself." I emerged from this phase feeling very confident and relatively fearless..." Best Wishes. :) GYS Dear Steve,

Keep up the noble (can’t find a more suitable word quickly) work you’ve been doing through this website. Your insights trigger thinking and provide great help with personal growth.

I feel that you’re one of the world’s most influential persons in the making. You would be remembered in history as one of those great people who contributed to the human evolution… This is just a personal feeling / instinct / intuition though… This feeling is probably a result of the connectedness that I’ve developed with you over the last few months of reading your blog and articles.

This (following excerpt) is from your Biographical Info page… Many other great people I have read / heard about had gone through similar phase in their lives… I can relate myself to this… just wanted to share with you.

“Age 18-21 was a rather tumultuous time for me. I was learning a great deal about life, the universe, and everything, but my beliefs were shifting so much that my situation was very unstable.

Should make perfect sense for the smart&flexible ones around here. After all, the only thing that never changes is change itself. And it should also get rid of the "one mind, one direction, one thought" horse glasses crowd. A nice side effect. Excellent statement of intention, Steve.

Fully agree with that. It would be nice to read about improving health, and your opinions regarding building relationships. I have always liked good books about health and healthy diets. Mental activity, productivity and motivation, are very dependent on physical state. Keep the site the way you want it to be.

Fully agree with that. It would be nice to read about improving
health, and your opinions regarding building relationships.

Mental activity, productivity and motivation, are very dependent
on physical state.

Keep the site the way you want it to be. Do it your way.

Are familiar with any of Robert Anton wilson's work? You might also want to look into the theories behind chaos magick, although you will need to digg through a lot of things to find the usefull ideas behind it. Nayway, keep up the good work, perhaps you could discuss what practical methods of "paradigm engineering" you use?

Go and check out http://www.hardtofindseminars.com/audioclips.htm (excellent site for seminar junkies like myself). The guy who runs the site (Michael Senoff) does regular phone interviews with a bunch of folks. He than makes them available for his visitors to listen to (great to to drive sales). As a writer, you probably know that no matter what content it is people will get tired of reading. Listening to a conversation is a great option. For instance, instead of the blog showdown, you could have a recorded phone converstion with the guy. It would be much better than "well, I said, and he said, and I say that he says" - because one could hear ideas exchanged and (dis)argeed upon "real-time". The only invenstment you need is Sound Snooper/Modem Spy type of software or any other software that records phone conversations. Here is an idea for you Steve.

I had some good teachers. ;) FWIW, I don't personally think Jesus was a vegetarian his whole life. I think that would have been unlikely for his time. But it wouldn't surprise me if he eventually reached the point where he stopped killing animals for food. Whatever the truth is, it won't blow my reality either way.

As Jesus was faithful to the Law of Moses, and involved in faithful keeping of that Law was yearly observance of the passover feast, Jesus ate Lamb. Men can put anything they want on a web site, it doesn't change the truth, it only supports their own vegetarian or animal rights biases. Just my 2 cents. Steve:
