I laughed out loud when you said that!

But what took his parents three days to figure out he was gone ???

I understand what you mean now. But because I'm not used to changing my own neurology at this point in my life (which I have to say is pretty damn impressive) I have been confusing it with something like pride or egotism.

What I'm aiming for is a higher sense of strength within my own self. I wasn't expecting the Holy Spirit because I'm going towards the self, not towards the spirit. Unless they are both the same and Satan is not the ego after all...

which would make sense because in Revelation Satan is destroyed...

and he can't be if we needed the ego...

... and we are all children of God...

...which means the part to be reconciled is the self...

...hmmm...

This is interesting. I'll check it out with my mate's mum (she's very wise).

I get told a lot that I'm talking over people's heads. I have an obsessive interest with this stuff all of a sudden so I'm taking it all in like a sponge. When I went to see my relatives I told them that I was sick of "The second person pluralisation of the personal pronouns" and that we should all start using the traditional Yorkshire tha, thy and thine. Nobody understood.

I'm not boasting but since you've told me I'm a 'good writer' I'll keep that in mind and tone it down. I don't really want to take the position of being a 'wise old man' when I'm still a flipping boy anyway, or I'll make embarassing mistakes.
