I also find your posts intriguing. Just know that while I don't participate much in discussions, I will enjoy reading your contributions to this forum.

I am also deeply involved in the metaphysical, and have been for many years. It's probably my favourite subject, and the source of most of my reading material.

Right now, I am studying the I Ching of all things. A friend gave me two books on it a couple of years ago, and they sat unread (as too intimidating) on my bookshelf until about 4 months ago. The I Ching is older than the bible, and many Chinese and Asian masters have contributed to it including Confuscious and Lao Tzu. I am now the proud owner of at least 5 books on the I Ching, and am fascinated by it's insight.
At 59, I am also a "free ranger". My mom was mentally ill with bipolar (called manic depression at the time), and my Dad worked all the time, so we had very little to no supervision.
