I'm deeply lonely. I have class rooms full of students, a number of social clubs I can pick and choose from, i get attention where ever i go. But very few people to connect with on a deep level of intimacy. I believe this simply comes with time. What's also interesting is I crave connecting with people in deeply "spiritual" ways that my teachers have connected with me, and i mean out of this workd ways, but that is even more rare than the simple time tested intimacy friendship. A few long time fellow students and practitioners, a couple family members, no single soul mate, the soul mates I've found are my best students and my teachers. On the rare occasions that we reconnect along those spiritual lines, it is truly a marvelous feeling!

Without minimalizing the state of consciousness that practice induces, including the external influences you describe (living in the mountains)... It stands to reason the preexisting CONDITION of (wo)man is the reason why practice transforms consciousness regardless of the external influences which surround the practitioner.

Seeking forum members advice and experiences with amber. I have never worked with it. I understand it will hold a static charge. Fascinating that a number of things can be suspended in amber including ancient bugs, plants and even water?

Gravity sucks.

I've landed back in Portland after a summer of adventure. Portland Roll Call?
