Wolf Posted July 21, 2009 Hello there, I just registered and i'd like to announce it, so here I go I am Wolf, I am a proud person and seeking a sense of spiritual salvation, I do not believe in any man made religions because they are simply that, I do however know that God(s) can exist for there is no evidence to suggest they don't, just as there is no evidence to prove things like dragons don't exist, what I am trying to achieve is to rid myself of all influence, to achieve spiritual salvation and be what I truelly should be, myself~ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Marblehead Posted July 21, 2009 (edited) Hi Wolf, Welcome! May you enjoy your time here. (That sounds like a full-blown quest you have lined up for yourself. Best Wishes!) Be well! Edited July 21, 2009 by Marblehead Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wolf Posted July 21, 2009 Hi Wolf, Welcome! May you enjoy your time here. (That sounds like a full-blown quest you have lined up for yourself. Best Wishes!) Be well! Indeed it is a quest, the quest only I can persue, but you also have the same quest waiting for you, when we start our quests may differ, but I know you'll start yours at some point in your life Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My quest is finished. I am simply walking the path I have selected. (Sure, I'm still learning but that is only natural.) Be well! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wolf Posted July 21, 2009 Hehehe. My quest is finished. I am simply walking the path I have selected. (Sure, I'm still learning but that is only natural.) Be well! I'm sure you jest about the quest, you seem to be through the quest a great deal but have not reached salvation, unless my senses are lying, I was given a percentage of how far I am through my journey/quest by very wise ex-friends, 22%, I started the quest in last december and i'm constantly seeking to change my ways and become my true self, I hope you aren't just joking and have reached salvation though~ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Salvation? What's that? I have never felt the need to be saved. I am exactly where I am supposed to be. (Don't ask me where that is, I have no idea.) My quest started in 1970 when I was in Vietnam. My quest ended in 1985 when I proclaimed myself a philosophical Taoist. I have been on my journey since that time. Oh, sure, I have gotten lost a couple times but I found my way back to where I was supposed to be. Now, don't understand that I am suggesting that I am a Sage and full of wisdom. Most folks suggest that I am full of something else. Hehehe. But I am at peace with my Self and I feel that's a pretty good state to be in. Be well! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I believe you're quite far in your quest but there is much doubt in my mind that you have completed it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Marblehead Posted July 21, 2009 I believe you're quite far in your quest but there is much doubt in my mind that you have completed it Funny! I didn't know I had anything to prove to you. (Just joking but I'm half-way serious as well.) 'Tis true that my journey will not end until the day I die. And there is always more to be learned, more experiences to be had, more hearts to break (Ooops, those day are finished), more time and words to share with others. I might even be able to help some folks along the way. Hey! I might even find someone who is going my way and I can walk with them for a while. To explain my understanding of the words: The "quest" is the awakening and realization that there is some place to go. The "journey" is the means of getting there. The "path" is actually plural because we will follow many paths along our journey. "There" doesn't exist: there is no destination - it is the journey that matters. Be well!

I'm interested in how perceptive you are, take a guess at how old I am, you can use estimations not exact guesses, like 50-55, i'm looking forward to your reply~ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
