I will also say this…you can take a horse to water but you sure cannot make him drink until he is darn well ready. You are correct…the site is there for anyone to look at and if they really want to do the decision making process of what they think about it any justice they must spend some time reading in the varous segments or listening to the pod casts. However the fact that, as of yet, the majority of humanity is not yet evolving enough to worry about the proof of afterlife communication cannot and will not alter the facts as given on this site.

You are also correct when you say that the world is cynical and it will take someone with indisputable first hand knowledge of Diana to validate it to a very cynical world…but as you also mention proof of the afterlife existance is coming faster and faster all the time and soon enough the circumstantial evidence will be so ponderous that it will cross from underground pockets of spiritualists into wide spread mainstream consciousness almost as if overnght. However those of us who have toiled for many a year working at getting the proof will well know it was not overnight! We have the wrinkles and blisters on our fingers and arses to prove it! LOL!

Perhaps Diana still existing is not believed in now, perhaps she won’t be believed as communicating to our world via any medium for a very long time but it ultimately won’t matter because I foresee our grandchildren and their chidren accepting it all in stride as those of us who carry cell phones now do when our own grandparents didn’t own any phone. The times…they are a changing and what was ridiculous in 1960 is now a way of life in 2010! So it will be with communicating openly with the deceased and having them continue their work via those of us left behind here who can communicate with them. Let’s just say that Diana, and other souls, are ahead of the curve!

If, however, there is a timeless state existing outside our Universe, an eternity/infinity, and if this eternity and all universes are permeated by a matrix of i-ther (intelligent ether), or Spirit, or ‘God’ if you like, then that could be the source of the intelligent design behind DNA and evolution.

I do not rule out the idea of God, but if it exists in the form of an all-wise conscious entity which always existed, then it has clearly stood back from the process of creating life on Earth and instead allowed it to evolve naturally, learning from its own mistakes and gradually progressing.

However if this is the case, it still requires less developed, evolving conscious energy be it the i-ther or Spirit to guide evolution and to be responsible for the intelligent design.

I certainly don’t claim to have all the answers. What does cause me difficulty is understanding an all-wise loving Creator who found it necessary to go thru the slow, laborious process of Evolution to arrive where we are today. Still less can I understand how such a highly developed God-like entity could design the cruel survival of the fittest and strongest, the food chain and the hunter killer and victim systems which characterize life on this planet.

So if a God-like entity has always existed it seems it has distanced itself from the design and evolution of life-forms on Earth and instead delegated this task to the i-ther, Spirit or conscious energy systems. This would make sense as it is only by learning from our mistakes that we progress and evolve.

If a school maths teacher wrote all the answers on the blackboard, the students would learn nothing. They have to be allowed to work out the answers for themselves, make mistakes, and then correct them.

We lived in the apartments at the end of Park Road. In those days it was called Park Court.

My brother, Michael, and I would be very interested in reconnecting with anyone who lived in the area or attended Bounds Green School with us.

The only names I recall are Jacky Hawkins, Ian and John (from the apartments), and Brenda Potter. I am sure my brother remembers more names than I do. Carol

I did go on a Gay Pride march with two of my neighbors a few years ago and
wore a bright red Teddy-boy jacket and winklepickers – those shoes nearly
killed me, definitely not suitable for marches. But I just wanted to show we
don’t all conform to the stereotype images of what gay men are supposed to
look like nowadays. That we are all individuals.

There was another gay rocker guy I knew at the Weekender, and probably a
load more I don’t know. But the London Pride events always clash with this
Weekender, and for me and many other gay rockers rock’n'roll always comes
first. The rockin’ scene I find much friendlier, on the whole, than the gay
scene. And as I say the exhibitionism, the shouting of obscene slogans, the
‘bare-arsed’ brigade, the fashions and the artists/music played at Gay Pride
festivals put me right off.

As to issues to be raised, I don’t object to same-sex marriage, but it
wouldn’t be for me. I don’t honestly see why gay people want to ape
heterosexual marriage, but if they want they should be allowed to, though I
don’t see it as a priority at all. Personally I don’t see civil partnership
as ’second-rate’ – I see it as different, more reflecting the gay lifestyle
which doesn’t necessarily include monogamous promises and children. I would
have been perfectly happy with a civil partnership with my life-partner, but
it wasn’t available then. I would most definitely not have wanted gay
marriage, and I doubt any of my gay friends would have wanted it either
since none were monogamous, they all had open relationships.

But those who want it should be able to have it if civil partnerships are
not considered adequate. However civil partnerships should still also be an
option.

But, Tony, if you go on the Pride march you don’t have to conform to
the images you dislike. Like me, you can go there and in your own
style and make a protest highlighting the serious issues we both care
about. We need to more voices of protest at Pride (for same-sex
marriage and and end to gay blood ban etc) and less flashy
exhibitionism.

Best wishes, Peter
