(Re) Introducing Myself

[dbt]

Hello to everyone in the 2011 ASAH Group. I go back, here, to May of 2001. After much soul searching/ethics grappling, I have just now decided to donate again so that I can post in one of the few places on DU that seems to be sane in this Brave New 21st Century.

I am Old School to the point where I believe in Jesus, Allah, Muhammad, Buddah, Paganism, Heathenism and Wicca. I have the Gifts of the Spirit as held by the Appalachian People: stopping bleeding that is not of natural causes, blowing out fire and curing what they call Thrush (all of this done not by myself but by the assistance of a Higher Power). In addition, I was taught by my Uncle Homer to find water with a forked stick, provided that it has bitter-tasting bark. He took great pains to point out that this power is available to anyone.

As you may imagine, I have been roundly ridiculed for revealing such things on DU--to the point of having posts deleted outright. Yet I persist, in the hope that it may benefit seekers here.

I believe the time has come wherein the teachings of Dr. Wilhelm Reich may benefit this Earth once again. Ask me nearly anything.

Vry Trly Yrs,
dbt

1. Welcome (Back)!

This is one of the (relatively) sane forums.

[Ricochet21]

2. Welcome back

you're in the right place

[Kookaburra]

3. You've found a home with us

Other areas of DU can be pretty brutal, but we're an open, loving bunch of souls here.

Welcome home, dbt.

[get the red out]

4. Good that you are here!

This place is an oasis of thought freedom in a bleak desert often enough. The more the merrier!

5. Hi DBT

Welcome back! :hi: Yeppers, stay here with us. It's sooooo nice and peaceful in ASAH. :)

[Celebration]

6. Woo Hoo a REICH FAN!!

Yippee, and a dowser to boot!

Okay, we are on the same wave length. Definitely not enough dowswers and Reich fans around here. :bounce:

7. You'll fit in JUST fine here dbt...

Welcome back! :hi:

I'm glad that you've decided to join us here; it's always nice to have another kindred spirit amongst us.

12. Welcome to you, and may you find some comfort here.

There is much turmoil in our world, and, sadly enough, DU reflects it, too, sometimes. This forum frequently offers a place of love and acceptance for many of us, and please know that you are most welcome to join in whenever and however you choose.

Peace to you, and welcome, old friend.

13. Hiya....

[dbt]

14. WOW! Thank you, everyone!

Individual replies would look like thread-hogging and/or ego-tripping, so this will have to do. I greatly appreciate the welcomes and the sense of community here.

I need to say how much I value the work of the Astrologers here (and you know who you are). It is an ArtScience that escapes me, so I'm glad to be able to read your posts.

Meanwhile, Dr. Reich spoke long ago of healing the Earth. Given the horrid summer that is just now passing, I am feeling the need to do this very strongly--some days it verges on panic.

I would be most interested in knowing if you all feel this need and what steps you may be taking to help heal our Mother (that last would be my little bit of Choctaw blood speaking).

Regards,
dbt

15. Welcome dbt!

16. Welcome!

[kentauros]

17. I'm glad you posted and welcome back! :)

I saw your PM to me, and am sorry I haven't replied, because I have a site for you (and everyone else, too):

Rex Research
Rex Research - Health section

Enjoy! :hi:

[dbt]

19. Zing!

Hi, kentauros! Danged if that's not one of the sites I ran across whilst searching for Dr. Reich's long-"lost" works--and it's one that could take days to properly digest. Thanks for the links!

And :hi: to you!

(No reply to that PM is necessary, BTW. It was just what's on my heart about Texas.)

18. Hello, dbt!

Looking forward to hearing more of your insights and learning from you. Thanks for reintroducing yourself, you long time DUer :hug: :hug: :hug:

[Proud_Lefty]

20. Hello dbt

You're definitely in the right place now. Welcome!

[kimmerspixelated]

21. It's wonderful to have you back! n/t

I look forward to the sharing of wisdom.

[dbt]

22. Hey, kimmers!

If I had any wisdom, I'd a-traded it in LONG ago for pieces of silver or other comforts.

:evilgrin:

[SheilaT]

23. What I like about this place

is that everyone here allows for a greater difference of opinion than is often allowed on other forums. I know, because I can ruffle feathers in almost every forum, but I don't believe I've ever gotten nastiness directed at me here when I offer something that's quite unlike what others may be saying in a particular thread. Sometimes I'll get ignored, but hopefully not Ignored.

Please contribute to us often.

edited for clarity.

24. Truly!

The Game in 2011 seems to be Snark At Any Cost--and that's on a good day. If one dares post any unapproved thought forms in most places, it's a race to see how many people can pile on/how quick.

That led me back here. Not that I need a steady diet of agreement ("mega-dittos, Rush"), but civility and open-mindedness are as good for humans as home-grown tomatoes.

25. I have a question for you.

Right now at this moment, near the completion of the Mayan Nine Underworlds of our evolving spirits, what do you think is the the number one thing people should work on or remember or believe?

[dbt]

26. Dunno if it's five things or five facets of one thing:

Feed the hungry

Clothe the naked

Visit the sick

Comfort the dying

Bury the dead

Never did I read anything in any purported Holy Book that made ANY more sense to me.

Namaste.

[kimmerspixelated]

27. Those are wonderful things.

I think of them as the daily stuff we all should be doing....beautiful, thanks!

[Desertrose]

28. OMG...how'd I miss THIS??? You're back!!!!

and the memories this stirs up! Holy cow, dude!!!!!!! Are you still playin the fiddle???

So good to see you here... I need to spend more time here myself....

I need to email you!

29. A late welcome back..

I look forward to learning from you. Native NCer here, Cherokee-Irish-English (father was a mountain boy). Lead on :)

[Sanity Claws]

30. Welcome back

I don't know why I didn't see this thread when you first posted it.

I also believe in all of the old teachers. There is something we can learn from each of them. Eating a la carte fits me more than having to take a meal that someone else has put together.

I'm not familiar with Dr. Wilhelm Reich. Is there a book you could recommend?

[Howler]

31. Welcome DBT!

I spent alot of time in west virginia when I was a teenager. Love the land and the folks down there.

[arikara]

32. Hi dbt, welcome back!

What a treat. And DR too. I don't check in as much as I used to, and rarely post when I do but this calls for a party!

[I Have A Dream]

34. Yay, it's great to see all of you here!
