ok john
i get the beer
but well all i know is there is no such thing as dead or death or any of
that
yes a dearth of death for it is nothing
& we know the boundary itself is a ghost
& it really is important to me to comprehend the esthetics & reality of what
everyone likes to contribute here
& perhaps it is also important to others here
& i know you are not alone but perhaps even in the majority here both today
& in general in your liking & contributing things of this vibrational range
so i am seriously asking myself & anyone listening
can anyone express or suggest what they feel is the treasure or value in
this subject
or in any other subject contributed for that matter
since this example did fairly present itself to & for us all to consider
& the feeling tone of us all is actually quite harmonious
