I don't know how many millions of years it will take though. Then I sometimes wonder about the 2012 prophecy and if it could possibly relate to a speeding-up of the enlightenment process for everyone. This is just a thought, nothing more. I have an active imagination sometimes. I don’t know if I’m right or wrong but I sometimes think about the world changing once everyone becomes enlightened.

Ultimately I have to judge from behaviour...I notice that my Ayeschero friends (can't spell it) seem to have more drive, self-confidence etc but in reality can barely pay the Rent, have worse boundaries than ever before... thus I assume there is some degree of self-delusion going on which is common amongst Initiates into Sorcery....

This seems quite idealistic to me. And isn’t there the danger of limiting life’s possibilities? Also isn’t it very possessive to say “my wife” or my “husband”? Everybody is free or not?

I think your view is somewhat conservative… :)

(Well, you used the word “preserve” which kind of means “conserve”)

External contracts don't guarantee the integrity of a marriage. A marriage ritual can express an intention. However, many important rituals today have become degraded, commercialised, standardised and sanitised. Here in Finland nearly every 15 year old is desperate to attend a Christian confirmation (konfirmaatio) confession camp (rippileiri). The camp finale is a group of white smocked teenagers huddled in front of a church altar trying to sing old fashioned hymns. The implication is that they are really interested in becoming Christians. Actually most of them aren't interested. In fact some of them hate the church. So why stand there in front of God, the image of Jesus and the community making a public declaration of faith? Money!! The teen expects a big pay out from all the relatives. Sounds like a mafia initiation. And so the corruption, lying and hypocrisy becomes institutionalized. Finns generally are good, honest and sincere people. The confirmation ceremony is well intentioned - it's about showing love to kids by giving them huge amounts of money, because that's what all their friends are getting, which they have no idea what to do with, so they buy a scooter which they can't really control especially when under the influence of alcohol. But it has nothing to do with Jesus. The Lutheran Church profits handsomely by getting a percentage of everyone's monthly wages.

If you love somebody you don't need any marriage. You have everything. Marriage seems more often than not a prison which implies a kind of ownership relationship: "You are my wife and you are not allowed to be (close) with other men." Well, if there is love there is absolutely no need for something artifical like marriage. And what if the love changes or ends?? You can never know. Anyway, apart from this :) I don't see any problem in marriage, on the contrary: if it is a celebration of love and life, well it is just that. Like an outer manifestation of the inner sense of rightness and happyness about beeing with the "right" person and maybe also a commitment to treat the other respectful and to serve them. But: why not living like this anyway, who needs a "contract" for that like marriage? And until I meet a couple for whom this is true and the above is not I see more negative than positive in marriage. Anyway, I feel myself that there might be something more, something deeper about marriage. Right now its just a feeling, I can't grasp it... love nico Hi Dave,
