Why I wish to join The Temple & how I found out about it...
This has always been our home, we just didn't know it until we found it! We are grateful for this temple in all its aspects. Thank you all...
About Myself & My Interests...
Our star-sign is Ophiuchus which honors the Greek healer Asclepius. Ophiuchus is called the serpent bearer, and it is said Asclepius learned his healing arts from a snake.
We are called a multiple personality, but its really a good deal more complicated than that...
Our primary interest is helping world peace to emerge.
We love occult studies; particularly the fringe edge of cognitive development studies. Perhaps we are the fringe edge...
My Teachers & Influences, What was it about them that influenced me?
Countless teachers, we suspect Master Therion may be popular here. Two teachers we have been privileged to meet or see in person who strongly influenced us have been Baba Ram Das and Guru Bawa Muhaiyadeen.
We are eclectic, syncretic; our influences come from many different cultures and philosophies. We love all religions, but the religions we find closest to our hearts may be Buddhism, Hinduism, Paganism, and Wicca; however, Christianity, Judaism, and Islam may have been our most formative influences.

Authors: Howard Hendrix, Stephen Baxter, Aleister Crowley, John Brunner, Greg Bear, Phillip K Dick, Roger Zelazny, Phillip Jose Farmer, Robert A Heinlein, Piers Anthony, Isaac Asimov, Arthur C Clarke, and many, many more...

Since childhood.. I've had times running in panther/jaguar form in 'otherworlds'/'astralplane' however one defines these things... *smile*... You'll have me talking of myself in plurals in no time, I may slip into it with you and fight the impulse.
I often do end up mirroring the language patterns of those I communicate with, it's my way.. a bit of a chameleon.
Oh my dear, keep communicating with me on that other level.. because the conscious mind is turning to mush and pushing me to bed... so I hope you can sort it out without me. Don't prove yourself to clever though... I may try to recruit you down the road as an administrator, your troll handling skills are admirable, and I wouldn't want anyone trigger happy.
I'm off to dreamland soon, see you in the jungles, here, there, and everywhere. Groups, yes, make groups... good plan.
I hope my impulsive change wasn't too disruptive to that sweet boy then, I have a strong desire to decorate things.. it's like a nesting instinct, wanting to make things inviting and pretty and comfortable for people. If you'd like the default back, let me know. *smile*
Just letting you know that you're in my thoughts. I'm hoping everything is wonderful with you and some positive grand adventure is what has drawn your attention elsewhere and not that life struggles of some sort are what's been keeping you away.
Hi Grigori. I did answer you but it must have rolled off the page. "Ghosting" in the cyber world is where a person appears to be online but is actually elsewhere. I myself do not sign out of this site, so there must be times when I appear to be here but I am actually not.
Blessings to you.
Thank you Grigori for your feedback on my comments in your texts. I read the emails.I always have many emails to answer. Life in Brazil is also difficult because the more it is forbidden, the worse it becomes. Once again, Congratulations on the beautiful work.

Hi, Grigori, thanks for your friendship!
I am not an administrator, why don't you ask Linda or Rosey, they are.
But is good to be friends, nevertheless...
