    observing carefully , i see an animal may become spiritually possessed , and in this conditional
    state it may speak to a man . it is surprising and inspiring to witness . no , no english .

    I see all things spirit reaching toward spirit in all things. Hypocrisy is not familiar to our animal cousins.

    people can be seen waivering twixt belief and disbelief while believing they
    must make a choice . this is an anxiety . it can be cloaked with deception -
    a witchy thing to do . hypocricy is a calculated deception and not the default
    postion of human nature . it may pose as reasonable .

    to the anxious , what is the advise ? how can it be trustworthy ? there must
    an essence of resonance .

    Remember fear is a liar and it's virtue is in deceiving you of your choices. It suggests it will keep you safe but it's real intent is to keep you from going where you will and restrict the outflowing of appreciation.

    remember everything . can this be done ? i have a recent experience of not remembering what i've said and
    later these words reknowned as words as being very important . this is a puzzle - though not distressful .

    Remembering can be selective forgetting as in forget the idea that fear offers safety.

    not always and I am not being argumentative....
    Say I see a snake in the grass...and fear will kick in for me to turn the other direction and avoid, as fear can be essential for survival. Snake could be posionous...i don't know....

    We have an instinctive fight or flight response. Primates have been historically threatened by snakes. Now days knowing the type of snake you face will alleviate irrational fear.

    What chance is that? That you discover there are harmless snakes?

    My name is three snakes just passing through , that is , flying past
    the crescent moon . harmless might mean not of this fearful world .

    a couple times I've played with vipers , I just passing through , no
    concern with holding on - no , no , certainly not .

    Making the name was a college art assignment . It's meaning is the artist I become .

    There are some that would agree with you; however, I simply cannot control my fear of snakes regardless of knowing their type. I'm just more intensely scared if they are venomous. I stood on a copperhead and I proceeded to get bitten 4 times before we could disentangle from each other...I finally shook him off as he slithered off to safety, to answer any questions about what happened to him/her.

    What happened later was awful, healing from those bites. I won't even go into it...

    How did this thread go to snakes anyway? :) :dizzy2:

    the trail of the snake in the sand is a word , following it is easy . then what does it
    mean at the sudden end of a trail when there's just the doodling marks of a child
    and nothing beyond this ?
