The worst part is that it's like Ground Hogs Day, we have to keep going until we get it right.Another great thing is the sense of humor other immortals have  Anyone else? ------------------

Well Grasshopper & chocoholic 82, my b`day is Ground Hogs day.... and I have a nasty addiction I need to kick:  smoking. I know If I don`t quit, I`ll look 876 instead of my 222 years. So, I am working & working at it to get it right!

Don't worry juniperb, you can quit smoking! I smoked lots for years, and quit. At first, I craved it and wanted to, and anytime I would smell a cigarette, boy did I want one! But then it became easier. Now I RARELY want one, if ever. Course now I have to control my eating, because the smoking decreases your appetite and when you stop, whoa, food just tastes so good and all of the sudden, it just seems to come out of the wood work.I would have to say, even though I don't think I am immortal, the best thing about it for someone else might be bumping into souls that they have met before, and knowing something was special, but not quite knowing what, that mystery and love would be there, I think that would be nice. ------------------

Smoking isn't as bad as they say. Quit when you can, but don't worry too much over it.  ------------------

Thanks Randall & Fajita, I really beat myself over it cuz I quit once for 5 yrs...
I know it`s so bad for me but...
Gee fajita, I already love food & that is a concern; last time it wasn`t a prob tho.
Randall, when you say it isn`t as bad for you as they say; do you mean because the true cause of dis-ease is the mental/spiritual attunement (or lack of)?
Your support is encouraing  cuz I get sooo much flack for it.

You can only get smoking-related dis-eases if they are in your chart (as a potentiality). Still, all dis-ease is rooted in thought and emotion. Smoking is the current crusade of lawmakers. Smoking certainly isn't a healthy practice, but it isn't as damaging as everyone would have you to think.  ------------------

Outliving people you hate...Take anyone who fusses at me here on this forum, or anywhere, or someone who just annoys me. I do not have to blacken my karma further by doing anything to them or saying anything mean to them. I forgive them to clear up my karma, and they die. I have met people so spiteful and so nasty that it does bring me genuine pleasure to know they are not long for this world (not long by immortal tellings of time), that they will go to heaven and learn to be better people, and be born again a million times in their eternal quest for self-betterment. To imagine their nasty grasping fingers withering from age and disease, their souls emerging into the light, all without lifting my little finger. Quite amazing, the power of time. Time is a healer, but really a balancer, that balances evil and good and all the forces and brings them, using death and rebirth, into perfection, both evolutionary and spiritual.

Have you ever had the experience of knowing someone when you were a kid, say a bully, or someone mean or who was just an awful a** about town, and then meeting them 20 years later, and seeing a complete transformation, that life experience tempered their evil and taught them not to be. I love that, I live for that. So many kids these days, young kids and teenagers with such vacuum in their souls and such evil festering in their hearts, one day to be filled with experience and wisdom that will teach them not to tease, not to judge, not to hate. That, to me, is what being immortal is all about. Like a parent watches a child grow up, an immortal watches the whole host of the world slowly squeeze its way through growth and learning. For all the hate and spitefulness of racism and public beatings and stonings, one day will bring to those same souls embraces and tolerance. You can talk about the Eternal Now, but this is not the place for that. Here there is time, existing in a kind of illusionary bubble of thought.IP: Logged |

I want to bring this thread up again.Mercury I can SO relate to what you said,you know sometimes I can FEEL this big thing hanging over my head,like an etheric tattoo or something,and its the symbol of eternity,the serpent eating its own tail,because I've chosen to be immortal.
It throws some major things in my path that I have to deal with but it also protects me.
I'm exactly like you,if people upset me I leave them be, knowing the ultimate revenge is to re-inforce my positive energy and outlive them by being peaceful.
Someone come back to me please,I feel so wierd about posting stuff like this on the internet do you think it's the right thing to say things such as these.Us immortals need to talk to each other and get support,dont you think?I certainly really need your help some of you.IP: Logged |

Ok,I've just been looking through these pages on this forum and they are so fascinating.I've realised maybe I should be hanging around on here instead of trying to court attention elsewhere.
I do not have internet in my home although I have great plans for getting it.As I'm accessing this from public sights I've become more than a shade nuerotic about where I go,this sight feels very personal,and from my end I want to take some responsibility for not having lots of people crashing in here.I feel protective towards this sight and also self protective,I've got a real chip on my shoulder about how nosy people can be.Has anyone got any advice to offer about dealing with these things,it would be appreciated.IP: Logged |

( tosses Mazz an orange )The way to deal with it is just to immerse yoursElf into it. Eventually your comfort level will increase and your insecurities will fade away. You asked if it's "right to say things like these?" The short answer is "yes." You spoke with your feelings, and feelings always want to be out in the open and validated. "The heart has a reason for which reason knows not of." ~Pascal. But now that we have the feelings out in the open, we need to explore them and see where they come from. Immortality as a form of vengeance is counter productive. Why? The secret's in that orange I gave you. We'll see you around here more and more, Mazz! ------------------

I know you're right about the vengeance thing.Although I think that part of becoming advanced as a person is embracing your dark side and incorporating it in a yin and yang way,the dark side of you wants to win,but only wants to win with power over the self and circumstances,not power over other people.ORANGE also contains NO EGO IP: Logged |

You used the "o" twice. I'm pretty sure the lexi-rules says one use per letter per lexi. Hmm, does this mean it just says, "ego." Woohoo!------------------

Actually, you can use a letter more than once--just not in the same word.  ------------------
