I was told it was someone else, a new moderator, abusing her position. I was getting ready to retaliate (I don't quit without a fight).  I have enough to deal with right now without someone embarrassing me by causing others to respond to me by answering a question that I didn't ask (this time). I've cut way back on this board and perhaps it's time for me to go.

Love,
Rob

the energies are strong arent they Mair? I read that post on the other board about the magnification of our thoughts and feelings..a speed up as it were...I've noticed something good happens after such a thing...LOL! Mair..you're so bossy! I love it! to tell me I'm not going anywhere...I probably won't, but we all have to leave sometime as we change into different paths..maybe not...talking thru my hat maybe

well, here I am just busting apart with the speed up!   thanks for pointing out I didn't do anything wrong..I needed that    I think if I'd noticed what year the post was, I would not have responded at all. I just looked at the August part. so thats why I thought I should apologize to Rob. but it was a small oversight I suppose, so I forgive myself!
A word to explain further whats going and I'm addressing Rob specifically. I don't want you getting the wrong idea. Bets and I are trying to stimulate conversation here from old posts..yours just happened to come up as we tried to find posts which are in regards to a discussion of the books forum. we wanted to generate conversation on the book forums in general. that intention is not abuse to my way of thinking and certainly no one wants to abuse anybody here. actually, you all are like family to me and have been for years.

enough said. lets take Mair's advice, she's always right!

Please don't be angry. I did it and I apologize.
I won't do it again tho there are 2 others spread out already done.
It was an attempt to revive some valid involvement with questions about the books.
Rob has received my apologies in a PM and I hope he accepts them.

Heya Doc..I was coming here to say essentially the same thing.

Is not the purpose here to explore the afterlife and help others to do the same?  If resurrecting an old thread can help in that, I say go for it.

What is with all these "egos" lately? 

It seems to be a heaviness coming over the site.  Alot of "I can do this, I'm becoming that" sort of thing, rather than the original intentions here of learning more about what happens when we leave the physical, helping those who become stuck in BST's and just connecting and growing together.

Religious notions, psychics..(yes, I know there are valid psychics, but last time I looked that wasn't the purpose of this site)

I guess I'm just getting frustrated that we aren't doing more exploring.  I don't think there are other sites quite like this one either, where souls gather to explore and help others.

Can't we just get back on track, please?

Shirley   everyone    Doc, excellent idea to notice how old the post is and maybe I can start stating my intention up front why it's being brought forth because you are right, I remember my old post was brought up long time ago and it did bother me because I don't remember why this person brought it up and I got embarrassed, as after it was brought forth it did the same thing to the board that just happened here...it caused some arguments from egos, and gave some folks a chance to rant. as usual, that wasn't the purpose of this forum, so right away I had this guilt trip, although re-reading my own posts, I didn't see anything there in itself would cause a raucus. it was a personal thing with the poster who dredged it up. so I can see how the past still reverberates through this forum as part of its soul. we should never be too sensitive is my feeling and I was getting my hide toughened up. I think you all will understand that statement because thats what family is for; to bounce your ideas and thoughts off of, my opinion, we are safe here to be ourselves.
at least I'd like to generate that feeling of home and I don't want to lose Rob over this. if I drop dead tomorrow, lol, I just want to say wow, I have a lot of memories to take with me from this place!
its meaningful the things this thread has opened up and we seem to recover well from disagreements.

Hello All:
Is it me or is there a pattern running through this board as of late?
I don't see anything at all resurrecting a thread, as newbies may not have seen it or any of the previous answers. Also, the date of the posts when they originated are right in front of the person reading it, so it was obvious that it was an older post.
Speaking as someone who was not associated with this board in 2005 (yeah, guys, those were the days weren't they? ) I found this thread very interesting.

TMI was my first choice, but I did not attend prior to reading Bruce's first books. I got the Guidebook after TMI. I agree that TMI is pricey and would not suggest someone jump at it immediately. The group energy is very intense, the friendships permanent, the experience exciting, and the conversations very stimulating. Either choice should be taken with some thought and let your intuition guide you.

Alysia -- no you did nothing wrong.
Betson -- no you did nothing wrong.
Mair -- oooh, you really are bossy! You must kick butt at retrievals -- literally. LOL.

All will be well and balance will be restored.

With affection,
E.

Well, I for one would do it the same way again--- first I read Bob's books again (and Rosie McKnight's) and then I went to Gateway, even though I had the complete set of CDs and had listened to them at home.

It was only after I went to TMI the first time that I read Bruce's books. I have been back to TMI for Guidelines. Heartlines, Lifelines, Exploration Essence, and Remore Viewing, and am registered for Exp 27 in February. Y'all come, too; it would be great to meet in person!

For an all expenses included week, TMI is reasonable especially compared to weekend seminars costing the same, in chairs with no food or Hemi-Sunch. Carolyn Myss' $3500 workshop (3 days) comes to mind. TMI left me with a LOT LOT more I have acutally used.

And to be there at TMI, in THE place,,,well, that just added to it.

But it was Bruce's Afterlife Guidebook that really made the difference for me. Bruce talked about pretending, and faking it until you make it, and what he really meant when he says "I saw Denise" in the book. It really helped me accept what was actually happening to me, and suddenly it all opened up.......

But whatever method you choose, practice if the key. Mastery comes only after practice, and all ways and always from intention.

YOU are the Gift, dear Ones.

Love and Light,
Thomas

  I largely agree with Thomas and Romain, yet at the same time i would like to stress that neither is necessary for spiritual development.  I had a really nice time at TMI, but my guidance made very sure and indicated firmly that it wasn't completely necessary to have gone there, or to rely on anything outside of self.   I'm quite wary of what i see as spiritual materialism being so heavily but VERY subtly pushed on us in the new age, spiritual world (particularly by those trying to make money).  These can and tend to become yet more material attachments, which at some point will need to be broken for complete realization. 

  This why i would probably recommend Bruce's stuff before and above most anything else, because at least its cheap, and relies more on inner methods that anyone can do or practice.  If Bruce, and Bob are part of the same Soul essence, and i believe him on that because of a dream i had (wherein Bruce's face morphed into Bob's, and back and forth and merged for a bit), then it seems  like (from my limited perspective at least) Bruce is karmically trying to balance certain imbalances that Bob manifested--and i wouldn't be surprised if nonphysical, and now wiser Bob wasn't cheering him on.   RaRaRa..AhOmm...la. (a spiritual cheer)
