tim -

ahh yes. everything you and charran have written "resonates" with my "way" of thinking... or, rather "being". my reason for asking so many different questions, etc., is not to educate myself, but to offer "tidbits" or "leads" for those about to begin their own journeys. i can only offer information from my own experiences. as people around me yearn to "awaken" and begin this "process", i want to "be there for them". during these times, "sleepers" will gravitate toward "beacons of light". knowing what we do, and experiencing life the way we do, we have the responsibility "to show the way" to others who ask.

i had to "make my way" through the sea of information that is out there, which ultimately led me here. eventually i learned to look within, instead of out. and, speaking for myself, to "get to the next step", i have to "lead" or "teach" others. it is written that you only learn through teaching.

it is at these times where i am "unsure" about what to tell others. words are inadequate to describe past experiences, and lately, everyday life for me. for me, exponential growth isn't a concept, lately its my reality. like everyone, i have daily obstacles to overcome, but lately it has been easier to "get back to my base" and "live in light of love". maybe thats good enough...

you nailed it about "reading". quite a bit of the "material" out there seems familiar, like i learned it along time ago, but haven't used it, and thus, forgot. so, as you "put" it, i'm not learning, i'm remembering. yes. everyone's journey is unique to their personality and perspective. and, as "material" is concerned, people should "go with their hearts".

so, i guess the moral of the story would be that i don't have to have the perfect answers, and its likely better that they "find out for themselves". in order to satisfy my purpose above, all i need to do is "show them the door", and not necessarily "instruct them how to walk through it" - they can do that on their own. just be there to offer help along the way.

i thank you both from the bottom of my heart for taking the time to reply and offer "advice". and, to those out there cruising the forums, if you aren't already, open up and post. ask questions, share experiences. give advice. we're all in this together and we're here in this forum to help each other. you'll feel much more "whole" and breakthroughs are waiting just around the corner.
