Thank you Rick, glad to be here. I'll have more pictures soon. I'm having my Ribbon Cutting event on April 5th, so we'll have some great pic after that.

 

cheers!

HI, Richard, thanks for the warm welcome, yes, Iowa is pretty interesting this time of year.  Today it's frosty, tomorrow will feel like true spring.

I signed on to Architects at the suggestion of one of Carlos' fan mail monitors.  I will be posting music from my son's band, Mad Monks, amazing original prog rock style music with a message.  Too busy at work to get to the upload, maybe this weekend. 

Again, it's wonderful to have a welcome from you!  I see your good works, keep it up!

Hi Richard. I wanted you and everyone else know that I may be unavailable for the time being. This is surely where I want to be, but many technical details are preventing me from communicating. I hope to return here and do good works. In the meantime; my good works will be local.

 

All my best to all!

Thanks so much for the warm welcome. I find myself in a world gone haywire, in a world where warm welcomes are few. It's important to note that I love people, and care very, very deeply about all of mankind. This is not a popular belief system in the world I find myself in.

I am somewhat handicapped, having a body that has been treated badly, and one that has suffered tragedy. I have experienced a miraculous rebirth over the past year though. It started with a hospital stay that I was not expected to survive. I made a decision to ask God for a helping hand after returning to my home. I decided to put all of my eggs in one basket. This is something I had never done. I have always been too wise and resourceful to do that.

The fact is: I stopped taking the 300 mg of morphine each day. An 18 year habit is tough to break by yourself. I had no difficulty. Unlike other morphine withdrawls I had experienced, this time it was pain free.

I started with Radiohead. I sang until I could no longer make a sound. I started playing keyboards again, and I went for 6 months on only one hour of sleep each day. My doctor and life-counselor, he witnessed all of this. I reported to him anywhere from 3 to 5 times per week. He observed that I was alert, in good spirits, relatively pain free and 'ascended'.

During this time, I dropped 114 lbs. I lost 10 inches off my waist. I gave up the 20+ drugs I had been force fed by the insurance industry. I experienced something very, very special. I won't bore anyone further with details, but suffice to say, this previously misdiagnosed 'bipolar' is convinced he may be a savant instead. Or a prophet.

I'm looking forward to more testing. Even if I am wrong, and I hope to be most of the time, because this is where the learning begins; it will be interesting to look at the data I have assembled. It will be interesting to discuss this. Peace out. Love you.

Thank  you Rick.

 

It's always nice to feel welcomed. I will do my best to participate in ways that will help others align more fully with the gift they already really are.  I'm not the greatest at navigating the computer or typing, but every day I get better, I'm just slower with the process.

Dear Richard;
My wife, Astrid Fitzgerald, whose work is featured on your site, invited me. I am a writer/lecturer/teacher, the author of ten books. My web site is ww.rgbooks.com. I am also a blogger for the Huffington Post and I am on the faculty of the University of Philosophical Research, where I teach philosophy and consciousness studies. On the lighter side, I used to go to Fillmore West back in 68-69 to listen to Santana and loved the jazz fusion he offered then.

Thank you, Richard Lukens, for featuring my art work. I'm honored to be part of this wonderful community. Besides being a painter, I'm also a long-time student of the Perennial Philosophy, and the author of three books - my latestet a novel for young adults as well as people of any age, entitled WINTER BREAK: A Luminous Journey into Wisdom and Love. I would like to post an excerpt if that's possible on this site.

I didn't find this site. It found me via ether or cyberspace. I just uploaded images of some of my paintings.

Thank You ! I am happy to be a member of this beautiful conciousness. I feel it is vital, especially in these times, to have self realization and act on it. I know we are all here for one purpose, which is to help others Each one of us has a unique gift that will help make this life here on Earth more positive and loving.  Our job is to find what our gift is to humankind and act on it.  This is true realization and success in this realm.

this one's for billy jones bluez

i tried to write you a personal message.

this great talent can supply 2 or 3 songs for aoand cd or be considered a featured musician here. he isn't still my friend but has such a big talent (not as my fake one).

yes the idea of artemi to do some concerts is good. I think that it's an hard task to gather high minded people and is even harder to let "solo type" people to cooperate. This is something I am trying to do and it works! thank you to Carlos and you!

All the best

Lorenzo

Hi Rick, I am a self-employed artist, and my attentions are primarily focused on the creation of joyful and inspired work that will attract like minded people.  I will check in here as often as I am able.  

Thanks for the warm welcome.

Best,

Michelle

Thank you Rick. I have a busy life, so probably won't be here a lot. But looking forward to seeing if there is something reciprocal here.

Hi Rick
Still not computer smart but learning slowly. The Aoand site was interesting as personally I really want wars to stop, find some peaceful co-existent ways for all humanity and work towards taking positive steps to bring Mother Earth and her residents to harmonious living....at all levels.
Its time for the social political madness to cease. I want to be more involved with like minded people and Aoand seems to be a good choice.

Tell me more of your interests and thank you for your inquiry.
Carol
