Hey everyone, I know I haven't been back here in a while. I'll probably still post here at times, but I'm never too sure when. That being the case, in case I don't come back for a while after this, there are a couple of things I've wanted to say here for probably a couple of years, that I hadn't up till now.
The first thing is, I want to express my very sincere appreciation to Bruce Moen for the degree of positive developmental influence that he has had in my life.
When I first discovered this site, I was living with a now ex-girlfriend, and was in the process of leaving fundamentalist Christianity. Bruce and several other people here gave me some ideas for a new framework, and the best part was, these were concepts that as Bruce promised, I was able to (and since have) verify through my own observation and experience.
In conjunction with other material that I was reading at the time and later, from both Kryon and David Wilcock, the experiences I ended up having, due to what I learned from Bruce, allowed me to cease believing in Hell as an objective, unavoidable reality, and eventually gave me the courage necessary to remember my instinctual, childhood perceptions of astral space, and restructure my spiritual belief system more or less entirely. Although I still have great respect for Jesus Christ, I can now say with certainty that I am no longer Christian, and that I am a much happier and more mentally stable person for it.
As perhaps the most blessed of the related experiences which this site opened me up to, shortly before I left the ex-girlfriend previously mentioned, I was initially visited by a being who I did not immediately recognise, but which I was able to identify independently online as Sri Ma Dakshinaswari Kali, an aspect of Durga, the primary Goddess of Hinduism, who is now also my own primary deity.
Bruce, if the Akash contains a list of the people you've definitely managed to help, consider my name also now added to it.
My second message here is for Gordon Phinn. Gordon, I very much want to apologise to you for having left you hanging after initially asking for your help in the exorcism of my maternal grandmother's house. At the time it turned out that my mother was very short on money, and was unable to give me the necessary amount to pay for that service from you. I should have said that to you at the time, but did not end up doing so, and for that I apologise. Gordon also contributed to the archive of some of the earlier retrieval experiences; he had some very interesting accounts.
My third message is to Donald/Berserk, whose correspondence with me at times was a great validation of my progress; he even gave me an independent verification of one experience where it appeared to coincide with one of those mentioned by Immanuel Swedenborg. For that, Don, I thank you.
My fourth message is to the posters Ginny, (if she ever returns here) Lights of Love, and LaffingRain/alyssa. Although I don't want to minimise the experiences or contributions of anyone who has posted to this site, I found the experiences of these three women and Gordon Phinn to be particularly inspiring, and along with Bruce, I consider them probably the site's integral pioneers in the area of retrieval work. Ginny in particular had an amazing gift.
I also want to mention spooky2, with whom I exchanged messages in threads a few times, and whose experimental curiosity I found refreshing, after being in so many online communities of people who were very jaded, world weary, and cynical.
I've probably missed numerous people here who deserved acknowledgement; if that is the case, I apologise, but I'm sure you know who you are.
To all of you, thank you. The process of freeing myself in various ways has been a long and arduous one, and I am not finished yet, but the inadvertent help I've had from some of the people here has been invaluable.
