[Parriah]

By way of introduction, my name is Robert (“Bob” preferred) Gouldman, and I hail from the state of Maryland on the east coast of the USA. Happily married for 30 years, give or take, my wife Cat and I boast of a college student son (Eric) who we both feel quite lucky to even know…much less be able to refer to him as “our son”.

On an even more personal note, I have a passion for collecting antique Cultural Festival Masks (and exploring their associated belief systems), although the collection does seem to focus primarily on Central American Day of the Dead Mask folk art as well as a few Native American period pieces. I also collect minerals and crystals, although I have never felt a particularly strong desire to explore the power associated with crystals. For me, this isn’t necessarily a “bad or good” scenario; simply a matter of personal preference.

And, finally, I quite comfortably subscribe to the Seth Information channeled through Jane Roberts from 1963-1984 which, in essence, clearly states “You Create Your Own Reality”. On the day my mind allowed me to consciously grasp the magnitude of that sentiment, I became filled with almost unbridled joy as well as astonishment that I had not seen it before. The “truth” of this premise had been, quite literally, in front of my nose all along.

I have become quite reclusive over the years, and will undoubtedly be reading the thoughts of others much more than speaking of my own here. Your patience with this premise would be greatly appreciated. Those of you who make it a practice to read auras will most probably note that what I offer is both genuine and sincere.

At any rate, there you have some of the facets which go towards making my reality what it is…and I thank you for this opportunity.

All My Best,

Bob

Much welcom Bob, that was a very nice introduction my friend. I am looking forward for your inputs, which I am sure will have to come after you have settled in this forum 😉

Much love

Hey Bob! I was wondering what your favorite type of crystal is. Also, I was born in Maryland and lived there for a while (a pretty small state), anyway, go Orioles! hahaha 😆

Hello Bob (((hugs)))

You seem a real gentleman 🙂

Welcome to The Book of Light

Love mia xx

Greetings and welcome, Bob! Seth’s teachings have been a great and wonderful part of my journey as well. I feel that those teachings ultimately led me here – and here is a great place to be!

Namaste’,

Welcome, Bob, and as a former Marylander from ’round Charm City way, may I just say “Hey, hon!” 😉

With your permission, I will address all replies to my initial hello here and now…so here goes:

Your kindness is appreciated more than you may know my friend, and I thank you for it. With all sincerity, I now offer the following to you: May the hammer Mjolnir guide and assist you through your journey.

Again, thank you Norseman. You wear the mantle well.

Hi Echo,

You said:

“Hey Bob! I was wondering what your favorite type of crystal is. Also, I was born in Maryland and lived there for a while (a pretty small state), anyway, go Orioles! Hahaha”

This world IS a small place, isn’t it my friend?

Although I enjoy ALL those minerals and crystals which see fit to share my physical adventure, I guess my favourite “combination” would be the following: a huge 16 inch half-Geode comprised primarily of quartz. Upon this mineral bedding, I have placed a rather large Shiva Lingham stone (11 and one half inches in length and weighing in at 23 pounds). Interestingly, this particular pairing seems to have resulted in an enhancement of my sanctum’s Feng Shui. Perhaps it’s the heavily patterned feminine wisdom displayed on this stone’s surface which provides much in the way of comfort for me.

I sincerely thank you Echo for the warmth of your welcome.

Best,

Bob

Warmest Wishes To You Mia.

Everything happens for a reason.
All is as it should be.”

“gentleman”? Don’t you believe it! Lol…

…and welcome, Mia, to MY reality. Interestingly, everyone seems to find EXACTLY what it is they seek; although they may not consciously admit to it, or even realize it. At least this premise is what I have found to be probably true during this experience. And, for me, this premise most certainly includes the adventure that was/is 14 October 2008.

(((HUGS))) are now being offered TO YOU, my dear friend. Please accept them so that my giving can realize its own completeness.

My Warmest Regards To You, Your Family and To All Those Whom You Hold Dear.

Bob

My sincerest Thank You for revealing this [Seth] portion of your experience to me. A more meaningful “come on in” could not have been forthcoming, and I enjoyed an ear-to-ear smile as I read your thoughts.

Namaste’ to you as well, dear friend.

As Mohandas Gandhi so eloquently said: “If you want to change the world, change yourself”.

Hi Opalescent (an eye-catching username),

You said:

“Welcome, Bob, and as a former Marylander from ’round Charm City way, may I just say “Hey, hon!”

Baltimore is an interesting town, to be sure. As a youngster, I created some interesting adventures for myself in that area…although NONE of them can be relayed in mixed company. Lol

Seriously, the LOVE and warmth I encounter when visiting this website is so refreshingly REAL. Thank you sincerely, my dear friend, for both these things.

My Warmest Regards To You,

Bob

Thanks to you all. :ugeek: (sort of looks like me…especially the glasses, goatee and hairline)

Hi !

Welcome, most of us are all new toons too anyway.
See aroung, read around. Interact.

Just be carefull of Annan, he tends to call you brothers.. Brother Bob.. dunno how that’s feel to you? (ahah)

[GA LOVES YOU]

Welcome Bob,

I find it intereting how we become recluse in a way to find ourselves. I guess we don’t need anyone telling us what we should or should not do. Great introduction.

Welcome Home…it is very comforting being amongst family on a soul level.

Love to you,

GA

[Gaian]

I find it fascinating that of all the things you could have written in your response to me, you wrote my favorite quote. Yes, dear friend, we must be the change we wish to see!

Greatest love to you!

Gaian

[Parriah]

Since the precedent has been established, I’ll continue to address multiple replies in this manner. Thank you all.

Yes, the “B” repetition does sound like the start of a drum roll. lol

Thanks for the warm welcome Dax. I’ve taken the liberty of reading some of your thoughts here, and they’re quite interesting as well as appreciated.

We’ll be seeing each other quite a bit here, and I look forward to it.

Best,

Bob

Good Morning GA Loves You,

Yes, we all seem to do what we feel is necessary to limit the distraction of physical reality when searching within ourselves. Understanding this premise makes me less of a “pariah”, and I feel this to be an insightful observation on your part.

And thanks for holding the door open for me to enter here. It does feel good to be a member of this family, and wherever I go during this adventure, this home will be nestled within my heart. For me, it simply doesn’t get any better than that.

Love Back To You GA,

Bob

It seems an interesting dynamic is taking shape here, and it’s with excited anticipation that I choose to accompany our family on this journey of light.

Namaste,

B

Indeed your perception is good my dear brother Bob. 😀

So let me welcome you with this, little something, backing up your statement:
