Bruce you needd to get more involved with this site or c;lose it down.Either you discovered great knowledge on your journey;s or you didn't.Remember your book "Voyage Beyond Doubt" If it was so beyond doubt then why don't you share more of this journey with us all. If I had haD YOUR JOURNEY'S i WOULD.Thats for sure.Maybe you still have some doubt after all.If so then please share it with us.You seem to be such a silent shadow behind this active site.Why can't you get more involved???You started it!!
Cheers
David.

Bruce doesnt contribute now and then to these forums, but don't forget he is a busy man, the site is here for information purposes and the forum is here for the use of its users. Bruce might run the site and the forum but this is NOT his forum its ours.

I'm sorry if you feel he has abandoned you but he is just one man, no better or worse than any of the others who frequent this site, you put him up on a pedastal like some religious icon and he isn't. Sorry if people don't like or agree with these comments lol.

Bruce posted on the thread "What is lost upon death".

it was cool! Cheesy

I don't think anyone responded to his post; I think thats because whenever he posts something he's so right on, you just nod your head, that's right, and move on.
I just realized Senote is right. this is our forum. Bruce's books are now a part of my awareness. Bruce also responds to our peer moderator system, removing posters who don't follow the guidelines after a warning or two.
I had a lightbulb go off once in my thoughts regarding another reason why Bruce doesn't post more...because simply he already gave the world his gift. through the books. now if he posts here he's just repeating what he already wrote...
really, do u think that's fun? nope. I'm starting to repeat my same stories myself, just to get things going once in awhile. I put old wine in new bottles and it's fun that way, but I know someday I won't be here, so I'm going to enjoy each and every person here in the meantime.

take care, and good try to draw him in! love ya Bruce!

Geez David, I got such a kick out of your posts yelling at Bruce. Apparently you have something on your mind...What would you ask him if you could have a conversation with him?

Why don't you post some questions or start a topic on what it is you're searching for and maybe that will get a real conversation going. We could help too, that's what this forum is here for. But to suggest he shut it down just because he doesn't write more! That's insane! What would all the rest of us do then?

And remember, Bruce himself would tell you...that the main point of what he's written about is to pass on the knowledge of how to learn to explore on your own. He's not going to do it for you. That is something you have to take upon yourself.

No probs.Its just that Bruce as an adventurer has done amazing work and discovery.I think my point is that I am curious about what further knowledge he has obtained since his last book."Voyage beyond doubt" The awakening of knowledge of the Truth of Existence wouldn't stop with Bruces last book.I am sure he must continue to deepen his experience of the higher dimensions.I am sure he would have some juicy things to share.I know he is busy but
I can only talk from my standing place and thats what I would do if I had his perceptive abilities.Give us all the odd update.Like for instance the progression of the coming of unconditional love on this Planet and the excitement and interest this is drawing from all quarters of the multiverse.never mind if he doesn't I am just expressing a feeling I had.
Love to all.

Dear Laughing Rain.
I see you are approaching 3000 posts! You should now be awarded the Prize of "ILLUMINED POST MISTRESS"! I am impressed with the quantity and quality of your posts.You are a very powerfull component of the forum. You have a great virtue of non judgment so important as to be vital for spiritual progression.
I don't know how you find the time to be so consistent with your posts,you must have a great deal of personal time methinks.Anyway thanks for your input.
Love David9

Thanks Vicki for your buzzy reply..your words are like the smile in your photo.
My conversation was quite real thank you because that was what I was feeling.I was feeling pissed off that night I wrote that stuff and it certainly got some of you going.
Fact.Bruce used to make contributions to peoples questions........
There is no need for me to start a topic on what I am searching for..We are all searching(if that is the correct word) for the same thing and you know that.We are all variations on the Divine Theme searching for Union with our essential Divine Self.Through our separation from the Unity (All That Is) we have journeyed perhaps for aeon's taking us in every imaginable experience but always however slowly towards the Goal; even if we had no idea what that goal was.All of us here are taking our own journey's towards this grand finale.Look at the different pictures we paint.Thats the beauty of Divine Fragmentation wouldn't you say?

I don't remember Bruces's post "What is lost upon Death"When was it and why did he post that?
To me what is lost upon Death is only that which was illusion.Nothing of Value is lost on Death.People fear that they will lose something they value and is highly important to them.They won't if it is real.However we can place so much value on things that "when blood runs cold"
I will give you a poem.Not mine but one I adore.
I share it with all and is a perfect response to Bruce's question.
Enjoy and enthrall.

THE STRANGER
Death will undo the body
And the body's hope of time;
Death will undo
Faith that depends upon another's word
And has not felt the fire'
Credulity that passes for belief'
The airy gallantry,the phantasies
Of the enthusing spirit,
Promise and pretensiopn and pretences--
Death will undo all of these.

All these are gossamer.
There yet remains
The indestructible principle,the stranger.
Little regarded in the masque of life,
But now, as blood turns cold,
One by whose eye we see
Essential things.One by whose nature
We know ourselves undying.
One by whose word,had we heeded it.
We might have understood much earlier
What only now we know

Death frees the stranger in us.He is I.

Reference to Bruce's post on another thread is here: http://www.afterlife-knowledge.com/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.cgi?num=1176784696/2#2

the title of the thread was started by Don and is called "What People Lose At Death"
of course you r right David, the title should appropriately be called "What People Gain At Death". I see we agree as illustrated by your poem you shared.

I'm glad you made your own topic David, and you seem to know that people like to express themselves here and you gave us an opportunity; I personally think it's our togetherness that matters irrespective of what we post, it's an opportunity to learn acceptance of one another in our diversity of viewpoint...so I'm glad for you too and thanks, I do have time on my hands, I'm just lucky I have a place to flap my lips, or like Vicky says, what would I do?

I know you asked this question of me before. What I'm doing here. I'm growing!

you should have known me when I first came here. I had done a retrieval many years before, and didn't understand what I had done. It took Bruce and the others here to help me figure out what I'd done to get me started in the right direction.
thats why I hang around, plus I am retired so I have time.
btw, dearlight, I saw you and I interacting out of body more than a year ago; you may have some memory of this.
I hope you forgive me for cutting our exploration short. Spirit was on my head at the time and still is. I'm glad you noticed I try not to judge others anymore negatively.
btw, here's another link to another of Bruce's excellent posts which is where I am at, at my stage of understanding obes and dreams, it sums it up so perfectly I may have to go meditate immediately on it!

http://www.afterlife-knowledge.com/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.cgi?num=1174839531/2#2

the above thread is in reference to another explorer/author Kurt Leland, his book "Otherwhere" really helps us get a handle on our own symbolism encountered while doing these phasing, or Obe experiences.

Thanks for the link on the book "Otherwhere" I have immediately ordered it from Amazon. I don't know how to keep memories of those experiences Cheers David9.

9er--- there is an old expression: You can bring the horse to the water, but you can't make him drink it.

Bruce IS the water. WE here on the forums are the persons bringing you to the water. Now you have to learn "how" you want to drink it. In one large gulp or in small sips.
Bruce has written 5 books--- that's not shabby nor neglectful. You can re-read his books and posts. That's the little sips. You can devour his books in one month--- that's gulping.

We all have personal lives and all want to reach beyond to the unknown--- to make it known. Bruce is not only a teacher, but also a student. We all are. And he has a personal life. I feel privileged that my path led me to him as my "water". Sometimes the water is rough, calm or somewhere in-between. That's how Bruce's life is. I'm happy with that.

Now, Bruce---- how are your waters these days???
