What's with the title of this forum?

[SSilhouette]

So it may be a default on the title page but why was I seeing this forum listed as "Introductions to SSilhouette"?  Did you name a forum after me?
That has to be a mistake or individual viewer function, right?

[SSilhouette]

OK, nevermind. I logged out and saw that the name "SSilhouette" had disappeared. So, whew.

How are you guys doing? Stop by my site once in awhile too and chat at the Rookery. http://theplaceofnopity.yuku.com/

Hi SSil
I guess there is some sorcery here, as I saw MY name heading this thread.
I am Hawkeye Crow, I've been away for some time , thanks to the control freaks at Microsoft.
Greetings to Nagual Lonewolf, whose name took me a moment to remember.
I see things have changed here yet again. My life has changed as well, for the better , really.I am now a 65 year old retiree , moving into a new , slower way of living.
During the interval of my absence, I have learned more about the true sorcery, that is, the power beyond human understanding; ie what we call the environment. I might call it an energy that was here long before us naked apes, and will be here long after we are gone.
I stumbled upon Edward Abbey and Earth First! , white folk who embodied the holiness of our Grandmother Earth as the original residents of this America saw it, and were willing to take action for the same love and respect of Her.  There is so much more to this. Don Juan stated that unless there is a change among human thought, we are doomed. Greenpeace says the same thing.
The industrial revolution, and the greed and self-importance it made possible will be the end of us all. Resource extraction, today it's Fracking, yesterday it was mining of the Holy lands, will poison the land, as it did the Ohio River, where I grew up . Rivers caught fire there, as the tap water does today in Pennsylvania.
This is not necessarily about politics; it's about survival, which , I do believe was a  Nagual teaching. Perhaps the difference with me is that I see it as a Collective effort.
Surely, the villages that gave us the Shamen were not about individuality; they were about all the people. They lived both prosperity and poverty together. There were no gated communities on the east side of town.
Speaking of retirement, it brings up the dream I had some years ago: that, WORK is a scam. When Columbus came to these shores, his purpose was to take slaves among what he saw a the lazy natives, and make them WORK for his profit!  Such slavery is now the norm. Think about that! Think about the Don Juan who did not have to 'work' , but drew his life from the energy of the land. A man like that was not stupid; he had knowledge and training that made it possible.
That's it: another way of living , another way of thinking and being.
Well, I'm not anti-political, and will act, in the present American manner as I see fit. Maybe this rant gives you an idea of what I'm about. If Don Juan can wear a suit and visit his accountant, I can at least manage life in this sick society as I have to.
I have exhausted my thoughts for now. I must go, as my animal familiar shows signs of illness and I must see to it.

Hmmm..well hello to you both. I've been busy too. We are all growing older. *sigh*. But luckily I've been moving out of clarity and into power....just as old age sets in! Well, old age will clip the wings of power so that trap doesn't catch me either. All in the very first book by Carlos Castaneda of course, the four traps of a man of knowledge.

Wait a minute, Sen....you mean to say we're all dreaming our own discrete dreams which are our dreams and our dreams alone within which we have total dominion....and yet we are able to interact with each other in some bizarre fashion, in some impossible/magical way with each other in each others' dreams? Is that what you're saying!!!? That's crazy man.....CRAZY!

Totally disregard if that's not what you're saying ha ha

Nice SSilhouette
"throw out those books.. and forget them completely.." ~jane "This is, to me, one of the more important topics regarding Castaneda's old books, and one of at least one hundred reasons he said, "those damned books" and "throw the books away". ~FC
Here's another:
"...read and destroy everything you read in the press. Read and destroy everything you read in books.
Whatever you read in the books , LEAVE IT THERE!!"
from the song , 'Sabotage' , by John Cale
album , "Sabotage/Live 1979
interestingly , I learned, by way of Earth First! and the Monkey Wrench Gang, that the word, sabotage, comes from sabot, a type of wooden shoe the Luddites would throw into the gearwork of machinery, in order to crash it.
I like that.
