- Why I wish to join The Temple & how I found out about it...
- I wish to join to acknowledge that this is a journey of enlighten-ment intended for all of humanity. While I began as a mainstream Christian, I like to follow Yeshua's example by finding as much reason to agree with others as I reasonably can, and I think we would all agree that we need all the help we can get with that.
- Which spiritual path do you follow?
- Christian mystic, conversant with many paths
- About Myself & My Interests...
- My favorite activities include just about any sports (in which I am playing,except hunting), reading, religion as a spiritual path (not dogma), and using my IT skills (in which I will also be working soon, I hope). It doesn't matter the "label" of the spiritual path, I am at least willing to compare notes but will reserve the right to my own decisions, thanks.
- My Teachers & Influences, What was it about them that influenced me?
- Yeshua ha-Mashiach; MacGregor Mathers; Spirit Ways Metaphysical (local area store). Well, I'm not ditching Yeshua after all THIS. As for Mr. Mathers, he filled in a few blanks for me in my own version of "Leonardo's puzzlebox" (the one always with me, that is). Spirit Ways Metaphysical filled in some blanks for me concerning Solomon's commentaries on the nature and properties of various herbs and minerals - I understand that the Jews removed a lot of that info about 1,000 years ago - to avoid persecution from the Catholic church, of course, but there may have been subsidiary reasons.

- Musicians and/or Music I appreciate:
- Not (hate-mongering) rap, but just about anything else
- Films and/or Film-Makers & Actors I appreciate:
- Quite a few, BUT please note that while I appreciate any performer's individual ability and/or roles which they have played, this in no way indicates approval of any performer's personal proclivities. I HAVE noted, though, that some seem to show taste and individuality in that they only choose to participate in films with which they either agree or acknowledge that more awareness is needed in certain areas - Jurgen Prochnow, for instance.
- Artists and/or Art I appreciate:
- Just about any
