You'll have to ask Simon. :)

Personally, this is the first place that I have actually been exposed to people who think about and discuss things like this. I'm sure that there are new age conventions and such, but I am also sure that I would have no interest in attending them, for the same reasons that I no longer go to church.

I think it was for a meeting of minds, to share and expand knowledge, to gather and disseminate thoughts to help us grow.

Once again, thank you Simon!

I agree that the best answer is from Simon, and I think for him to say he doesn't know why, suggests to me that life itself, whether you call it "collective consciousness" or "infinite intelligence" or anything else, life itself decided to bring it into reality (through Simon) to the benefit of all seekers of truth.

Sometimes it doesn't matter "why", it just matters what we do under the circumstances. And under the circumstances, we share our insights here and gather ideas and explore the universe of realities that exist in other people. It is all very good!

Many thanks to Simon, and lest we forget, thanks to all the others who work with him to make this website possible! And thanks to all who participate!

I personally enjoy it here because unlike a yahoo spiritual group, this place is only questions and answers. While it may be interesting to read what someone post the stars say or some prophecy it opens nothing up for enlightenment. This place is a great place of enlightenment because questions make us think, and if we let it, we can find answers coming to us that previously we never gave a thought to. So the answers not only are enlightening to others but ourselves as well. The more questions asked the more we turn into that conscious awareness that has the answers. We are very much activating the right brain here as much as the left brain. With that whole brain comes that consciousness connection but as well not only from the answers but as well from the questions. It is almost like a call of consciousness saying wake up I Am.

It was created for ALL those reasons and MORE.

Simon, I think you are fully aware of the needs of us seeking answers to our many, many questions that we all have. And consciously, or unconsciously, you were appointed to under take this task, so that we can all continue the work we were put here to do through education. We truly need to learn from each other, and that's what education is all about. Thank you for opening this door. I feel very much at home. My best regards to you, and your staff. And may the fruits of the spirit take root within us to grow each day, to enlightened us on our journey to seek answers to our many questions, and to enable us to write answers to our many questions.

A few months ago I thought wouldn't it be great if there was a site where a bunch of likeminded people could get together and ask questions and learn fom each other ? Voila - Inward Quest. I think all of us on some level were asking for a site like this and thank you Simon - you actually gave birth to it.

And thank God it was created. I had sooooo many questions on these subjects. And I had this thirst for knowledge to have the answers. And lo and behold, I discovered this forum. And it made my Universe much much much more happier! Love love love.

There's no why. It's just happening, like everything else.
