Neopo, my condolences.

I hesitated for some time to post to your thread; it would be all-too-easy for my attitude to come across as unkind. That would not be my intent.

If I may offer a suggestion - there are some books your might consider reading. The three by Robert Monroe LINK are, in my opinion, well worth the time to read. They should be available at your library. Another interesting one is "Beyond the Broken Gate" by Graybar and "Life after Life" by Moody.

None of these are religious in nature, nor do I perceive that any of them would contradict your present beliefs. They do present a different view of death. Their validity (or lack thereof) I leave to you. But I have found them worthwhile.

[NEOPO]

again thank you all for the thoughts and prayers of and for Tim, his family, myself and thank you Aaron for making this inner space that my mind sometimes calls home and for allowing me this small place to reconcile abit.

Very little that is being said here has not already been spoken in the proverbial "real world" and what little has not will be.

PM - Tim always pulled me on, I would try to sit on a thought and he would poke all the holes he could in it, always urging me on to keep thinking and to look deeper. When I think about it I am surprised he stuck around this long as his spirit was always longing for freedom. He was a reluctant leader who allowed me to feel as if I was leading. The student was the master all along.....
He loved to play mind games with me and all other sorts of games.
I sometimes referred to him as Napoleon in game mode. Two brothers forever comparing and testing strategies seemed to be what we liked to do best yet now I feel that was only passing time as we would have preferred to be creating a more beautiful world yet we didnt know how or even why we should or if we could etc etc.....
He is the one who brung to me Rage against the machine and who had patience and kept playing it as I at first rejected it as "stupid rap music" to only later totally embrace the words as well as the music. He helped me get the message.
He is the one who brung tool and clutch to me as I had brung led zeppelin, jimi hendrix and pink floyd to him.
I would try to feel good about our system and all it is worth while he was telling me its BS and dont fucking believe it.
Lies all lies! Like a raging Lorax should....
I want to quote Bill Hicks but it wouldnt be appropriate yet those of you aware of Mr hicks comedic talent know exactly what I am talking about
I could go on for volumes PM but I wont here or now yet thank you for helping me reveal alittle more.
I can only think to say that there now seems to be a hole in my soul and I will never rest until it is once again filled with the piece that is now missing. I will continue on like a trooper in this world and I will do all I can to help the world and its people heal yet there will always be alittle something missing. Until our next dream together my brother, until our next dream together....

blukatzen - Thank you.
I sometimes realize that we live these words unknowingly as I am pretty sure Tim was unfamiliar with the Edda's yet his ultimate theories of everything fit like pieces of the same puzzle.
