I guess it's 'normal' to introduce oneself to a group. I am in my early 60s and retired from twentyfour years work in a mental hospital in Indiana. Noticed Caryl's rainbow site. Used to be a member of her vanishing twins site, or rather I used to post there. I am probably still a member. Have a fairly good knowledge of astrology and related subjects.
Have read Robert Monroe's books, and Bruce's first four books. Others from the monroe institues graduates, as well. Thought I would like to commune with folks of similar interests.  hello to all

Yes, welcome.  Do you prefer "Sam" or "Samuel?"  This site has attracted a great variety of people with different perspectives over the past 10 years I have been involved with it off and on.  Only when I explored somewhat similar sites or religious sites did I gradually realize that I feel a unique bond with some of the posters here, regardless of clashing perspectives.  Over the years, the site's menu of sections on various topics has IMO been significantly upgraded.  I have not done Bruce's workshop, but have often thought I'd find that experience most stimulating.
