Same here; just joined. Not sure if I am expected to start a new thread or tag onto an existing one? Anyway, I've tagged on to save cyber paper and hope that's OK rules-wise?

I have been looking for real Truth and Wisdom all my life...well, since I was 12 when my grandma (who brought me up) passed away. Not long after she 'died' I had a kind-of waking vision - not asleep - I was making paper flowers at the time for my sister's birthday card and I guess really relaxed and peaceful... Anyway, all of a sudden it was like WHOOOOSHHH and I seemed to shoot out of my body and I found myself in a place that was (is - coz I've been back many times since!) just sooo amazingly beautiful. It was like earth, but not if you know what I mean? Everything just SHONE - blazed with LIGHT in all the colours of the rainbow, but it wasn't psychaedelic or at all over-powering - it just seem like HOME, really home. I hope some of you will know what I mean?

Anyway, I'm rambling....sorry. In that place, that lovely garden I saw my Grandma. I dunno how I recognised her cos she wasn't old any more, but somehow I just KNEW it was her. She looked about 18 or 20 at most - like she looked when she was young on earth, but in that realm she was Sooooo much more beautiful, like a golden angel. Anyway she told me lots of stuff that I've mostly forgotten over the years (this happened like nearly 20 years ago) but one thing I DO remember and will never forget is when I asked my granma where we were - what was this place? And she said it "It's where the Sons and Daughters of Wisdom dwell on their way home to God."
There was lots more stuff but that phrase stuck in my mind all these years and that's what started me off on my personal search for REAL Truth and Wisdom.
And boy have I had some fun and games looking!!! I've met some right weirdoes who pretented to be 'Teachers' but were mostly only inteterested in feeding their own egos and (on occasions) trying to get me into bed!! I've also met some fantastically kind and wise souls who taught me a lot. I briefly joined the Theosophical Society when I was younger but left when I discovered most of them knew less than I did! Though I DO love HPB; and study her books all the time; she DID know the Truth that's so clear from 'Isis' and even more so from the 'Secret Doctrine' and her collected works, but that's more than I can say for most of those who pretend to follow her teachings...

Then I tried AMORC, not bad, but too overly intellectual and 'touchy-feely' for me. Now I'm reading all about Hermes and the the Hermetic fragments which I do find answers a lot of questions and backs up what HPB taught her own students.

Anyway, I'm sure that's far too long an intro so will stop now.

I hope to learn and share a lot here and maybe I can be of some help too, because I really DO believe very strongly that we are all here to serve, and the better and finer our service the sooner we can all leave the horrors of this world and GO HOME!!!

Best wishes,
Sveta
