The Century of the Self

What I'm after I guess is the potential spellbinding in participating on a forum as a victim looking for a fix or a judgment. Or as a judge passing sentences. Or as a savior hinting at liberation. Since these are such a powerful, intoxicating roles, there's a large potential for addiction and perpe...

Re: I, Unidian, "Naturyl," James Quirk, am enlightened.

Nice! I heartily agree. But then there is Alexis Jacobi, Wizard . What other word is there, really, to describe he who is the Synthesis of the Triune Endeavor? Wizardry? Sorcery? Postmodern Shamanism? True, we don't see much of him , and even when we do it is legerdemain , a game of appearances and ...

We had one, maybe two, posts in which Dennis appeared. The prose was uniquely different. A person was talking about a person.

I personally do not understand a thinking about the Bible (or any other scripture) from a position outside of it.
