@atticus360 and thank you from me as well. Your idea was a great one…to speak and express the words of @gatekeeper2 umm…I mean Addison, in our own way. As a community. Time I guess was not on our side

[DimStyleParticipant]

@tawil924 I guess anything is possible but it really doesn’t fit calls or messages that others have received before. I wonder if it was from someone that got your number seeing you at ScareLA?

Maybe someone else would have more input.

On a side note, I do remember the book Motorman from when I was in college (or around that time). Strange book, short read. BTW, Jellyheads are man-made humanoid type things that act more like robots…no thinking skills.

@jeffheimbuch it can be a bit much to take in. I didn’t come in until the3rd week in July. I was able to catch up.

The thing to understand is this… The tension experience is just that. Not a one off haunt walk through. Not an immersion theater dinner who done it.

The experience is yours. Your journey.

I am in Florida and as such will never get to have the in person experience many here have.

I enjoy it though and it is my experience

What a great idea… Her story being told by us all.

As I said before her @gatekeeper2 coming out… She is the light. @regent7 said this in his previous posts and every day I am more confident I made the right choice

@corsolis welcome to the forums and don’t be so concerned about not being in LA. I think you will find there are a few of us that are not around the area. I am in Florida, @blondiecamps is in the UK, a few people spread across the midwest and I believe I had seen mention of @lenize in New York or South Africa (I know, big difference). Sorry everyone else I may have fogotten. I know we have a Texas and Kansas City somewhere on here also.

The best thing you can do, as mentioned by @thegilded and @atticus360 is stay involved with the forums, solve the puzzles, watch the old periscope videos and ask questions.

Have fun and enjoy the journey!

@reaton that is a very good point and I would reluctantly agree that pages must be seen. I guess I just look at the information coming from the diary now with more of a solemn attitude than that of a child opening presents on Christmas morning.

In a way I look at it from a different angle though. My younger brother who has now passed had a diary. It was given to me. That was 11 years ago. I still have not read it but for a few pages. Those were his thoughts that he did not want to share with others. It was a safe place for him to express himself without fear of others opinions. Except for a few slip ups, I have left it as that…his thoughts.

[DimStyleParticipant]

@reaton very good point and one that I overlooked as well. I guess we all do have to remember that this is afterall the private diary of a girl. So now, in my opinion, we have reached a crossroads…continue to publish the private thoughts of a girl or look for another way to cull information?

Would anyone here want their private, inner most personal thoughts and feelings pubished for all to read? What would Anne Frank have thought about her personal diary being published?

Again, just asking questions.

@jeffheimbuch I am sure anyone that frequents the forums would be more than happy to fill you in on anything or give you insight into their own personal experiences and why we feel the way we do about tension

Beyond the Occult
Colin Wilson has explored the paranormal universe ever since he researched his first highly successful work, The Occult: “the most interesting, informative and thought-provoking book on the subject.”* Now, 20 years later, he offers an even wider examination of the mystical and paranormal. And what he has produced is amazing—a thoroughly convincing general theory of the occult. Wilson powerfully posits that our so-called “normal” experience may in fact be subnormal, and that evolution has brought us near the edge of a quantum leap into a hugely expanded human consciousness. Combining fascinating glimpses into the paranormal world with the latest scientific thinking on the nature of “physical reality,” he reveals the usually unseen powers of the human mind and discusses why he has become convinced that disembodied spirits do exist.

The Book of Surrender: A Journey to Self-Awareness Inspired by the Words of Emmanuel
This classic work tells the remarkable true story of Wingate Paine, a man who gave up his marriage, his successful career as an acclaimed topographer, and his wealth to search for a deeper, more meaningful inner truth. This truth unfolded for him through a series of powerful, enlightening dialogues with the channeled energy force known as Emmanuel. As reconstructed here, these intensely personal dialogues between a seeker and his teacher illuminate the nature of human identity, the many levels of reality, the soul’s evolution, the rolls of Free Will, and the grace that comes from surrendering to Divine Will. Through these dialogues, which took place over a six-year period, Paine was able to face immense spiritual and physical challenges, including cancer, and to discover a serenely previously unknown to him. Offering comfort and wisdom to all, this is a mesmerizing account of one man’s evolution from pilgrim to teacher and how he was guided step by step to the ultimate lesson, the surrender to God’s will. For everyone who seeks serenity and enlightenment, this is an unforgettable testament to the power inherent in surrendering. In May of 1987, following several months of weakening physical condition, Wingate Paine made what he and Emmanual talked of as his final surrender.

Talking About Death
Even in this candidly confessional age, we’ve been conditioned to avoid discussions of death. Our youth-worshipping culture does everything to deny death, which is why, when the end nears, most of us are inadequately prepared to deal with it.

And the cost of that is great: many are haunted by memories of how inappropriately or painfully or uncomfortably their parents and grandparents died. Many of us avoid even considering the options, in all their complexity, that we will most likely face one day, given our new longevity and the profound advances in medicine.

With its wise and very compelling argument that all of us, at any age, can and should face death before it faces us, Talking About Death addresses the cultural, personal, medical, and legal concerns that are necessary for us–as individuals and as a society–to prepare for a good death, a death where the dying are in control and not, as is too often the case, caught in a downward spiral of medical intervention and misunderstood intentions.

Virginia Morris skillfully weaves together personal stories and practical matters, scientific fact and spiritual sensitivity into an important book about how we can achieve a greater sense of peace in dying, and rediscover the art of living.

St. Paul: The Apostle We Love to Hate
St. Paul is known throughout the world as the first Christian writer, authoring fourteen of the twenty-seven books in the New Testament. But as Karen Armstrong demonstrates in St. Paul: The Apostle We Love to Hate, he also exerted a more significant influence on the spread of Christianity throughout the world than any other figure in history. It was Paul who established the first Christian churches in Europe and Asia in the first century, Paul who transformed a minor sect into the largest religion produced by Western civilization, and Paul who advanced the revolutionary idea that Christ could serve as a model for the possibility of transcendence. While we know little about some aspects of the life of St. Paul—his upbringing, the details of his death—his dramatic vision of God on the road to Damascus is one of the most powerful stories in the history of Christianity, and the life that followed forever changed the course of history.

Finding Enlightenment
In Finding Enlightenment, J. Gordon Melton, a respected scholar of traditional modern religions, chronicles the life of JZ Knight, her extraordinary experiences as the channel for the ancient warrior teacher Ramtha, and the school whose teachings are based on the ancient wisdom of Gnosticism. Located in Yelm, Washington, this esoteric mystery school was founded by Knight in 1988. Melton presents the Gnostic teachings of Ramtha and shows how the inner path of wisdom and knowledge is accessible to students today.

Just some info on the books in case anyone didnt want to look up

The Life Beyond the Veil:
The Life Beyond the Veil contains a series of communications from various personalities “on the other side,” received and written down by the Rev. G. Vale Owen, Vicar of Orford, Lancashire. It was first published as four separate books: The Lowlands of Heaven (1920), The Highlands of Heaven (1920), The Ministry of Heaven (1921), and The Battalions of Heaven (1921). This volume combines all four works, and includes revised and standardized introductory pages.
As described by Editor H. W. Engholm in his introduction to Book I, The Life Beyond the Veil brings us “face to face with a Spiritual Universe of unimaginable immensity and grandeur, with sphere upon sphere of the realms of light which stretch away into infinity. We are told that those who have passed from our earth life inhabit the nearer spheres, amid surroundings not wholly dissimilar from those they have known in this world; that at death we shall enter the sphere for which our spiritual development fits us. There is to be no sudden change in our personality. We shall not be plunged into forgetfulness. A human being is not transformed into another being. . . . So small a thing is the change which we call death . . . that many do not realize it. They have to be taught that they are in another world, the world of reunion. . . .”
Books II, III and IV cover a wider range than the first book, more fully explaining the afterlife and giving, in H.W.E.’s words, “a little more of those ‘many things’ designed to broaden our vision, strengthen our faith, and help us to realize more fully the wonderful things which God has in store for all those that love Him.”

“Is it subversive of old beliefs? A thousand times No. It broadens them, it defines them, it beautifies them, it fills in the empty voids which have bewildered us . . . it is infinitely reassuring and illuminating.”—Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.
