Good Morning L Lawliet,

I appreciate and enjoy you and your response here. I also Trust that All is Well.
Life is a great mystery to me. There are things I understand, things I think I understand and things I have no clue of. Learning that reality is nothing but an illusion was hard for me to cope with at first. I was beginning to see how Neo felt after realizing what the Matrix was.
Life is indeed a mystery to all of us Me's here.

For this one it this very thing that makes it so interesting and fun. I agree that realizing it was an illusion was well, eye opening to say the least. A momentary gaining of my bearings and making sure I was truly awake and not still 'dreaming'. I enjoyed the Matrix as well.
Life itself should be the greatest teacher. Not some book. You learn the truth through experience. Tell me this. If a book can teach you everything you need to know, then why is it that sir Hanma and many others asks so many obvious questions? Judging from Hanma's topics I assume he has a great deal of books from Adrian's stash. Yet he still appears clueless halve the time wink.
Baki, I want you to know that I think your a wonderful person and that I am not attacking you in anyway and please forgive me if I that came out rude or disrespectful. I was just trying to prove a point and sometimes I can be really blunt with it. What I'm getting at is this - what can you learn from these books that you wouldn't learn here? Here we have a on-line community with wonderful people like Mrs. Julia, Sir Adrian, Melody, and many others. What I have learned here, I have read in other books as well, though you guys, and gals wink, have your own opinion on the matter.
For me, Life itself is the greatest reflection of what I am being taught. My teacher is God. I learned I have this connection 24/7, 365 days of an annual cycle, until I reach the place of where I 'exit' this playground as prearranged and agreed to.We speak of Knowing God, the First Cause, The Creator of All and In All, Ever Present and Ever Knowing of All things past, present and future (finite time definitions). Interesting in that God is Infinite. These definitions means different things to different 'people' as aspects of God aka us.
No 'Book' can teach us everything we 'need' to know. This is obviously the Truth because many people in this forum have come from all different backgrounds, religious ones being most predominant. It's just another form of communication saying 'You are onto to something', a landmark if you will. Books for me are interesting. I get my lessons upfront and then something pops up in my picture. Many times I have had to put them away for a season and just go outside and play for awhile because I'm not able to sit still long enough to read it. Then after I've been shown something in playing with God, I'll rediscover the book in my great way of organizing (in a box somewhere, when the clutter becomes unbearable and I am in a Zen state of mind

) I pick it up, read it, and am blown away by what is being read because it is like someone has been peeking inside my windows if you know what I mean. Not the other way around. I'm a brat. I don't like nor ever have liked someone telling me what to do or how to think. Ask my family, children and friends. Yes, it does kick me in my royal ass sometimes but I only recognize it because I do it or I wouldn't be able to define it.
Asking questions like Baki and myself and all of us do is just, a bread crumb trail that was created by us to lead us home. Everything happens for a reason. The people, places, circumstances are indicators. Is this my Truth or not? This then leads us to more hunting. It's a natural process of being God's children who as God are ever expanding and alive and not just sitting on the side lines watching the 'other' children play. God plays many ways. We are not limited in our possibilities of how to get back home. People as in this forum, places, circumstances, books, music, food, etc........
For me, I see that other parts of me tend to take things way to seriously and I forget to have Fun. We are all here to play, because this is an illusionary playground. Like children play, that's the 'job' of children. They Trust in humble gratitude that there is a place to sleep whether inside or outside, food will come, however way it shows up and sometimes it takes leaving the biological families of this illusion to understand that All has Always been taken care of. Otherwise I wouldn't be writing this right Now.

L, that's Ms. Julia, if you don't mind.

Messing with your hair here.

I already knew my Truth when Adrian showed up. That is how I was able to recognize my True family member. I recognize he was speaking in my native tongue. Anyone who has lived abroad knows how it feels when you hear someone speaking in your home language, after having been away in 'foreign' country for extended periods of 'time'.
In the past I simply trusted people a little to much. I have been mislead, misguided, and mistaught by many so called enlighten ones. Perhaps it is only me. Maybe I haven't been mislead or misguided or mistaught. Maybe the truth was always there and I just didn't know it. Maybe I don't even know what it is I am looking for in this life. I know I want answers, honest ones. To the greatest mysteries of this universe. However, how much can one tell? How much does one honestly know from what one thinks he knows? If I purchase this book, what will I learn that I couldn't from this site? Oh course the choice is mines and I am under no pressure.
I can truly relate to trusting in people too much. We give our rightful inheritance and the ownership of our lives away too easily. As to the words preceded by 'Miss' as in mis-takes, I see them as a turning of one's ankle. It get my attention and I have a moment to regroup and realize I am being shown something. So in essence these things have served their purpose in allowing me to realize I am not in rightful ownership, I am an impostor of my True Life. As in "I don't believe that, that's nonsense!" sort of thing. However, how many times in my life did I just go along and not rock the boat for fear of being unaccepted or rejected. I have come to realize that when someone tells me something, it's their thoughts, they own it, I don't have to own or care about it (not in a calloused way), I can allow them to have ownership of their life based on their thinking. Alot of people just don't want to own their own life, so they keep busy by fussing with yours or mine, etc.. I do own my Life Now, and I ain't given it to anyone else. What I have for myself I want you to have for yourself. FREEDOM. Ahhh....like taking a dive into a waterfall fed pool..................
That's all I was saying to you L. You are beautiful the way you are Now. Not when you know, do or have this or this or that. It's too much donkey and carrot thinking. No wonder we wear ourselves out with these tormented and confusing thoughts. It really is about;"Be Still and Know (without a doubt) that I AM GOD." That's a promise for all God's children. This wasn't said and then "Oh except for L Lawliet." Please understand I am humoring you here yet this is a True statement. This is what I mean by not adding or subtracting from Truth. God Is as God Says. We keep trying to make say whatever we 'believe' in the moment and then find ways to justify it by using religion. Insanity.
STOP the bus!! I'm getting off. But Julia, there's Bogey men and monsters, and YIKES, did you hear that, what was that noise!! Julia really in a I'm mad as hell and I'm not taking the crap and lies being fed here because quite honestly, I'm starving on this junk food says, Wow! There really is such a thing as a fresh breath of air. I'm going on, I'll send postcards when I remember the address I'm sending it to.

No, I'm not interested in being a leader of anything. I just love adventure. And I know without a doubt that there are those who are with me in this. So we head out and enjoy Adventure Land together. Can I hold your hand? Absolutely!! That's what True family and friends are for.
Julia, sweetheart I ask myself questions all the time wink. That is where the majority of them come from, not from other sources, but from my own head. They originate there. They stay there until an suitable answere has been found. A lot of times I con figure answers out for myself, but in a field as big such as this, I can't be too careful. I don't like not knowing anything I want to know, and I dislike obtaining wrong answers even more.
All I was sharing with you L was a big hug. I love you just the way you are. I see you in your Innocent and Beautiful True Position because God allows me to see mine. I cannot give you what I have not received. I truly enjoy you and your questions, and contributions to this forum as well as everyone else's, yes, even the ones I do not agree with. I can love people who do not agree with me because I do not want carbon copies of Julia. How Boring!! Julia doesn't do boring and God knows this because God is intimately acquainted with all my ways, as yours, Why? Well I am an extension of God, as you are.

Sending Love your way in All Ways,
In Joy this day L,
Julia
