A quote appropriate for this talk - from Sacred and Herbal Healing Beers by Stephen Harrod Buhner
“Great forests, when they attain a certain age, take on an inhabited state. There is a conscious and living presence in the forest. This does not occur in young forests and any forest that is extensively logged will lose this living presence. Humans have grown as a species in long relationship with this forest presence - a presence that possesses intelligence, awareness, and consciousness - and we are immediately aware of it wherever we encounter it. The loss of the great forests thus deprives us of something deeply necessary to our humanity.”
It has been a pleasure to reading your writing. I greatly appreciate pagan view of the world, although I am a Christian. I do note that wether you are right, other religions are right, or I am right; any god worthy of worship should not care wether anyone worships him (or her if you think), as long as we act with compassion with each other. And if the atheists are right, then it does not matter; except for what your conscience dictates.
But I digress from my question/concern. Why do you feel if is important to use the word ‘male’ when referring to human males, a term that can be applied to all of the animal kingdom as well; but use the word women when referring a human female, a term exclusively used to denote a human female. I feel it is much more appropriate to use the word man when referring to Human male, as this properly denotes our dignity in the human species, as it is appropriate to use the woman for human females. What do you thing?
Read Gordon’s Chaos Protocols to understand this magic thing and how it is done. I asked myself what is my magic method? What came to mind was the following. It was to begin with John 1:12 and as ongoing practice Matthew 6:6. Simple, portable and effective, resulting in the inward experience of the Holy Spirit (Romans 5:5) and various synchronicities and phenomena.

Yes! 'You do this thing for a while, and then you never get lonely again.'
Exactly. So beautiful to hear this put so clearly.
