You are welcome here; body and soul!

[guest587]

Welcome. How did you hear about us?

[mccoy]

I invited Thisbody to have a look at the forum, he was a member of yoganandaji.org.

I don't know if he's going to be a regular member, even as the other previous member of yoganandaji.org.

Maybe the format of this forum is too different from the other.

That was nice of you mccoy. I hope he finds something to his liking and we hear from him.

Each person comes in this life in a certain flock of 🦅 birds. They fly with what is comfortable for them. Yet occasionally we see flocks merge and separate. This is also true of humans. Our migration is a joyful satsang. Any one willing to share their joy in our common aspiration and in the joy of our flight is welcome here, however brief or lengthy that flight may take them. It is important to recognize the beauty of all the different flocks of birds God has created and their wondrous aspirations in flight. What is important is that whoever we decide to fly with, at the time, our common aspirations are strengthened in our migration towards the divine.

Steve, I found your flock-of birds metaphor exceedingly good, it depicts accurately and poetically the topic of the aspect of the inherent variability of  God's creation and the merging and separation of minds, without any negativity attached to it.

So this is my first post under my moniker from the former forum.

Thanks to you all, who welcome me with your loving words.

I used to be a member of this forum some 10 yrs. ago, or so. However, I could not remember my nick from back then, so I had to create a new account, to follow my dear brother mccoy's invitation to step in here, and look around, again.

Just checking in, to say hello to you all.

@Steve: We had quite a few exchanges on this board, and on Shannon's (ex-)board, way back then, too.
Also, we have had a mutual friend from MI, named A... . Ring a bell? - Not important, if not so, really.

Peace! & OM, t.

Yes I remembered all these details! And tried to find you here from before but was unable to… I also remember Anne, Shannon and many others on the path… birds of a feather… come together!

I wonder if you remember some of the subjects we used to discuss together Brother? If I find any I’ll bring them up. If members close their accounts here it is difficult to find their old subjects of interest because they are listed as ‘guests’.

I have found it interesting to go back to some old members here that have not signed in, in years, because if they have not closed their accounts I can still find what they had to say, especially friends from past lives like; Anne, Dan, Shannon, Lisa and Nikki who may have used pseudonyms that I recognize as them. I never forget people who I’ve been close to and often still pray for them regardless of their current opinions or feelings towards me. After years you tend to remember the things that initially fascinates you or you loved about them and let go of the challenges and difficulties you have encountered with them. If they continue to hold on to such experiences as the difficult ones, it does not mean we must do the same.

[Jitendra Hydonus]

We miss hearing from you! It has been a long time Brother!

It’s nice to see you drop in and out. Hope you come back more often. Sometimes you just have to wait for people to find their own place and time. You really can’t push yourself back into someone’s life. I think the important factor to recall is that friendship is build over many incarnations, not just one. People often need a lot of time to heal and make changes that reopen our lives to others. Sometimes it even requires a break from others for a lifetime but these things have a way of working back into our many lives and incarnations…. Each of us serves a purpose in opening up to the divine will and it’s plan for us individually and collectively.

[Jitendra Hydonus]

Ofcourse I remember Ann and miss her, but what is given to us in friendship and many things is also taken away. We eventually get more used to it after living decades.

I’ve written a song with these lyrics in it;

Make friends with your past, it’s part of your life.
Be kind to your memories, open up your heart and mind.

Yes life is full of perpetual change. It is enough sometimes to just keep up with the pressure exerted by our  karma and understanding those who come into our life.

So you have found your ‘nick name’ from back then. Do you like  ‘Henry’  is that your real name? You have never told us. My birth name is Stephen (Steve) but I use ‘Jitendra’ since Amma (the hugging saint) gave me that spiritual name. She has helped me much this life. Her grace has always been evident.

Turns out it was only a few years ago. (2019)

[Jitendra Hydonus]

Steve.

Today (again) I tried deleting the account named "henry". - Apparently to no avail.
I also tried sending you a message through this board, but when I go to my sent messages it says:

Fatal error: Uncaught TypeError: count(): Argument #1 ($value) must be of type Countable|array, null given in C:\inetpub\wwwroot\smfforfree\Sources2\PersonalMessage.php:599 Stack trace: #0 C:\inetpub\wwwroot\smfforfree\Themes2\default\PersonalMessage.template.php(96): prepareMessageContext() #1 C:\inetpub\wwwroot\smfforfree\Sources2\Load.php(1871): template_folder() #2 C:\inetpub\wwwroot\smfforfree\Sources2\Subs.php(2846): loadSubTemplate() #3 C:\inetpub\wwwroot\smfforfree\smf11.php(88): obExit() #4 C:\inetpub\wwwroot\smfforfree\index.php(279): require_once('...') #5 {main} thrown in C:\inetpub\wwwroot\smfforfree\Sources2\PersonalMessage.php on line 599

..pointing at an internal database-error.

To sum up the "henry-topic":

If you want to delete it, fine, if not, to me, also fine.

Thank you.

 

This is a phenomenon I have already explained; sorry you were not here at the time friend. Are host for the site requires money for questions on such matters. I am unable to do this for every question someone has, including my own on this matter. My hope is one day we will have our own site.

  Uwe,

T! No need to keep up with the topics that give you a headache. I don't think we can accurately judge one another from our short time on an online forum. There are personalities behind these screens we are scarcely aware of. I shouldn't speak for Steve but I believe he is making real efforts to transform himself and practice kindness and his spiritual beliefs. I have been with this forum since 2010. And even then, I don't actually know Steve. If I were to meet him, perhaps our exchange would be different. As it is with any person we meet in real life. But I believe I know him well enough to know he means well. 

I don't think you know what either of us go through on a daily, what we practice, what we do or do not do. Or even, how we engage with others. I don't feel the need to advertise it as a declaration of spirituality. But I do try to share things that interest me. Meditation, dreams, OBE's, animals. And yes, I post about world events. I do not ask you to agree with everything I post, and I respect your decision not to participate.

My friend. All is well here.  And I wish you the best with your journey as well. Your contributions are lovely and your expression is welcomed. I agree with your sentiments, and based on my recent exchange I think Steve does too. It is about working on the Self. I believe we're all doing that here, even if we have different world views and attitudes. Feel free to chime in on topics that actually interest you, or participate however you see fit. When you do decide to grace us again, you will be welcomed and you will have the freedom to be your self.

Sincere regards ~
