Donald, several posts ago you challenged me to 'prove' that I had a past life as Peter.  Peter and I have had a discussion about this and he states that there is no reason for me to have to prove anything. He said that you are baiting me just so that you can knock me down because my knowings aren't the same as your beliefs.

I have been on this forum for several years and took about a year off because of you Donald. I just plain got fed up with your arguing. I came back because I felt that I had more to offer which I have. This used to be a nice, safe place to post. It has changed so drastically with so much arguing. There is a lot more that I could share, however it will be subject to proof and the only real proof is in finding your own answers within and with 'doing' yourselves. If anyone wants to go to the afterlife, there is plenty of help here to do it.

I will be leaving for awhile. How long I don't know. It depends on whether or not this forum advances or declines even more.

About two years ago, Archangel Michael came to me and said that I needed to cut the etheric cord with this forum as it was draining my energy.  I asked him to cut the etheric cord and he did. As I said, I was gone a year and then felt called back. I'm asking Archangel Michael to cut the etheric cord with this forum once more.

Goodbye for now. I love you all so very much although I realize that most of you don't understand or believe this since so many can't even define love here. That's really sad.

In Spirit of ONE,
Mairlyn Maitreya 

Marilyn,

Don't go unless you have to.  I felt like leaving at one point, but things changed.  You and I both know, it doesn't matter what anyone believes but yourself.  You are a light on this board; an advanced soul who cuts to the chase, and makes insightful comments for the less experienced.  The board wouldn't be the same without you.

If Don challenges a belief and you don't feel like addressing it, don't.  Its your business, not his.  I don't mind debate, except when it gets nasty, or with the zealots who will go on and on but not truly debate.

But stay for the less experienced and knowledgeable among us.

Matthew

Marilyn:

In a way, since it isn't moderated, this forum is similar to the planet earth. All kinds of viewpoints abide here. The thing is to provide visitors with options, so that within their hearts, they'll choose the option that feels best to them.

Mairlyn, I would hate to see you leave.  You may not know how much you help here.  I love you!  You have always been an inspiration.   

I don't see why Marilyn has to prove it. People can believe what they want to believe, or they can admit that by not being Marilyn, they don't really know.

Don,

I don't see why it has to be all or nothing for either of you.  You should make valuable insights to the thousands on this board, as should Marilyn.  If you could refrain from the personal stuff, or talk of ghettos, etc. - your points would be just as solid.

The presence of both you and Marilyn is important.  Your contributions transcend any personal issues.

I used to get bugged by Don's challenging nature too Mairlyn..then i always thought about what u said..one time u sent me an email..u said "release."
release the bad energy. for me it was like hurt. when I saw just that one word in my email...I mean u are not what I consider a wordy person but u don't have to be..the word had power in it..it knocked me off my feet by spirit in you to me.

I just wanted to thank you for emailing me, u know I feel u are my sister and I have always been connected to you for years now.
even if u weren't Peter in another life, it wouldn't matter a bit to me. but u could have been you know? whos to say?
does it matter in the end?

this issue of reincarnation is a hard subject to discuss publicly. my personal evidence for it does not matter much to those who do not accept we may return many times to this earth to "get it right."
my evidence is just my experience soley and I savor the experiences as you should yours but proving it? Proof is something they try to do in a lab experiment. we're just people here with a lot of words to throw around.

our experiences are basically what make us who we are, and you my dear are very supportive of people and give of yourself. I've not seen you say a harsh word to any. I like that as you invite sharing, not shut it down as some do not invite us to share, saying we have no proof so may as well get off the board then, right? you have much support here, so maybe u might change your mind.
my belief in reincarnation stems from an astral visit from my daughters about 7 years before they were born. I saw them and heard them as adults, the 3 of us had been together many times in another time/place. next thing I knew, I had these little babies in my arms..doesn't even matter about the other place and time, just matters we are together. proof? nah...just in my heart.

reincarnation I look at as having this disc thing with different personalities in it, I was this, that, and this...and those memories slowly bleed into the present life, just enough so I wont have my individuality in this life overwhelmed with that other. but in my core, I was always me bumbling along and always trying to get it right by loving and caring about others as much I could. messed up sometimes, got it right sometimes. and I see you keeping to love and keeping to what u believe is true..so you were right to post your feelings and thoughts here, thats all I want to say that I am proud to know you.
love, alysia

Strong points, Lucy.  Very little in life is verified proof.  Talk of Swedenborg and verifications from centuries ago may or may not have other explanations, and certainly is far beyond our investingating now.  Yet Don gives more credence to ES because of the historical record (which or course can either be true or false, or seemingly true).

I admire Don's search for the mystic with the mostest, so to speak.  The most verifications.  Ultimately, we are all going to experience the afterlife on our own.   We don't take any texts with us or how to books.
