Jerdana, we want to welcome you to the list. Your posts however, have been received written in HTML. You need to adjust your settings for text on your e-mail program. Another thing you can do is write the post in a word processing program such as Microsoft Word, save it in text and then import the writing into your e-mail program.

I'll answer your question on Plural Marriage in a separate post.

The following are three of Jerdana's Posts that were hard to read because of the HTML.

Dear Oiled Lamp: I went to the url for archives that you have listed in your message. I searched molecular relationship and found a few messages that were indeed chapters of the same, but not the entire manuscript. What is the next step to find that document in its entirety?

Dear JJ et al: On the 7th of December I wrote the following question to all and have received no response at all as yet to this question. Does someone out there have some light to share on this concern of mine which touches me more intimately than I would like to admit? Perhaps my friend got into my E-mail and deleted your answer, but I have since changed my password. For JJ (and others who have some revelation on this subject) ~~a question. New to this list, I am female, and my male partner is actively pursuing polyamorousness and looking for other partners. So far he has not succeeded. But I find myself now unable to respond to him sexually, partly I think because of his obsession with this new "revelation." I had believed we had made a much deeper spiritual connection than this. I would like to pull this relationship out of the fire, but am beginning to see this as a sign that I am being led toward more solitary contemplative pursuits now myself (perhaps even celibacy as I feel total union with the Christ might be all I need). I am intrigued by the idea of non-sexual plural marriages and intend to find out more about the idea itself. There are some nowadays, however, who pursue and practice polyamorousness/polyfidelitousness as part of a "Christian" spiritual sacramental agenda, calling physical sex in and of itself sacrament, including sexual "sharing" on many levels. I am uncomfortable with that idea, but it is pursued by its practicioners with great vigor and with many rationalizations, scripture often being used to support their enthusiastic proselytization of this particular lifestyle. I sense in spirit that it is more of an excuse to indulge in the carnal side of things and is truly not spiritual in its deeper motivation. The same with tantric sex as it is practiced by some. This not barring the sacredness of sex between couples who are exclusive with each other. . Please elucidate and clarify as someone dear to me is really into this poly thing. Please send me your light and wisdom as I am at an emotional crossroads here and finding it difficult to be objective about what to do with this relationship.

In regard to purpose, desire, will - I have read and heard it taught that Intent has a big role to play in the manifestation of thought on this plane. If you would equate any of the three (purpose, desire, or will) to Intent, which would it be. Also, I have noticed that it takes a much longer time for my posts to show up on my E-mail from this forum than from other groups I have been involved with. Two I have sent out today have not shown up yet, though it has been hours. Am I doing something wrong, or is there some sort of filtering process going on here? Thanks,
Jerdana
