Sure, I will join so long as it is open to anyone interested. You may be
destined to a much better group, who knows. If there is no group, let us
create our own.
There are going to be a lot of details on which no two will agree. That does
not matter, because IMHO, inner matters are likely to be very unique to each
individual and as such each may be experiencing something that everyone else
does not see or recognize. In addition, the only thing one can be sure is
change and we are not the same person the next moment, next hour, next day,
next month and so on.
Internet has provided us with a forum to discuss and exchange world wide,
round the clock 7 days so help is available only a Internet call away. Let
us all join and make the best use as we can.
