Riddle Sideways: nice!
Riddle Sideways: writing that down

What have we learmerd about Being in the past 9 years?

Eden Haiku: same same
Riddle Sideways: hmmmm, those are strange sentences
Adams Rubble: thank you for your description of your experience Eden. You have made the image very vivid :)
Eden Haiku: I see every human group as a cult now, no offence :)
Riddle Sideways: no offence taken
Eden Haiku: giggles
Adams Rubble: I thinka cult is when the group tries to control your mind
Riddle Sideways: when going forward on a path and thinking that one is coming to senses
Adams Rubble: Pema tried everything he could not to be our leader :)
Eden Haiku: Yes you are obviously right about that Adams. I'm joking but when you are in a cult you don't know how they are controlling your mind, You aren't aware of it
Adams Rubble: hmm, I guess so
