We came across some REALLY old posts that I thought would be fun to share with everyone.  I asked Allan our IT guy if there was a way to find the oldest posts of Bruce’s on the forum.  Our current search function, which allows for 2,000 posts, was only showing me 576 for Bruce.  I knew there were more, and I especially wanted to be able to see what Bruce’s posts were in the early days of the forum.  Allan did some digging and surprised me with this:

Some of you may remember the big crash around 2004.  Allan had to rebuild the site and restore what he could and he upgraded us to the site we have now.  This link to the Wayback Machine has archived posts from 1997 to 2004.  How cool is that?  I hope you are as excited as I am about it.  I joined in 2005 so these are all new to me.  I think there’s some valuable and inspiring stuff here for those of you interested in Retrievals, or learning more about Bruce’s Afterlife Knowledge Guidebook material, or just getting to see Bruce's early posts.   

I’m hoping that you’ll like reading these old threads from the forum’s very beginnings.  Enjoy!

I found a couple posts of mine way back in August 2000. Slide bar hard to navigate using my smartphone, will see if laptop works better.

I recall the chat room and participated a few times. I think Rosalie might have coordinated them. After a time Bruce reduced his own involvement, not sure why.

The forum was pretty active in the early years. Bruce did post frequently and was very accessible including email communications. As his interests expanded, he became involved with EVP experimentations and later was attempting to develop a system whereby we could communicate with the deceased via an instrument similar to a conventional telephone.

The two things I remember from Bruce's teaching were that retrievals can be a technique to pave the way for further explorations of the afterlife and that retrievals are much easier to accomplish than most people think (also that most deceased people don't need them).

He stressed the importance of verifications. The afterlife is full of deceptions just as is the physical life. I think Bruce also cautioned against using the ouija board for much the same reason.
