Thought is the enemy. It is that which lies quiet, that which goes unseen which is of most danger. We only worry for our souls when our deeds become as like our thoughts, kept only to ourselves, in the corners, in the shadows, unspoken. My own thoughts lead me astray, though not quite as much as they once did. For brief moments I believe that I am a prophet, or some such fantasy that I am contesting with evil forces within my mind's eye — the sensation passes, though. I have not had enough, I think, not enough of the higher aspirations: love, hope, honor, faith; I have been too busy climbing out of the pit — slowly, slipping as I go. The stench of the pit I carry up, here to the daylight world... my thoughts are still strange.... These are my thoughts on my thoughts: welcome: perhaps if I let you look in, the darkness will not be so dark, after all.

I think that you are bringing ALL our thoughts out into the open Stand. We all share your fantasies and terrors, hopes and nightmares. You have been courageous and determined in your exploration of our hidden self. Thank you for undertaking that task. And as this window opens briefly, notice my heart-felt love for you.

You have touched upon the very foundation of mans choice. In each of us we wager these thought battles of good and evil. It is your gift, your right and your obligation to choose between them. One shall not be realized without the other. It is your choice of deeds that can be the enemy. What is still yet to be learned as you make your way to the daylight world, is that time itself will unveil it's brilliance of light to your mind, heart and soul, and your fears will gracefully subside as you realize your sitting in the gentle hollow of the blessed hand of God. Your Faith. My love always

Strange, how thought leads to pondering, pondering leads to questioning, questioning leads to philosophy, philosophy leads us eventually to religion, religion gives us guidelines with most parallels in line with intuitive humanity. Think about it enough and eventually youll get to what comes natural, so relax.

today i have been thinking about my grandmother. i think i inherited this trait from her. she travelled the dark & light lands on her own. i think people were frightened of her in herday. i am thankful for this forum -- however disembodied it may be. i am glad i found you.
