That is interesting. I just had decided to make in my own book an Owen page. I have already D. and Andreas and the rest is a mixture of general messages.
I never had followed Owen's messages too closely, but I just started doing it.
After 3 years on curezone I am spreading my wings to other forums and subjects.
It takes a long time to get a feeling which way to go in the alternative world.

why did you post her name? she said that she was too exposed here.

i will miss her too. bless you and yours, dp9.

Hi Paulette...The post where Owen tell of his every-day eating regime is on the FYI
forum...go back to the date 8-29-04. Don't remember what page that's on.

I have an "OWEN" scrapbook...of his personal emails to me...a few cards and letters
I've received from him...I even have his picture in there. :-) I also print a lot
of his posts and put them in this scrapbook.

I'm a busy woman...especially these days...but I still consider myself the President
of the "OWEN" fan club. :-)

I wish I had made a note on each post of what page they were on in each forum...but
I didn't think to do that. However...it will be easy to find. Just click on any of
his posts in the FYI forum and click on "All Of Owen's Messages"...and scroll down
till you find, "My Every-day Eating Regime". It's fascinating to read about his day.

I ALSO would love to have a forum of all of Owen's posts. I just love that man to
death. I'm making a 4'x4' picture collage...this is my 4th one...and this one is
ancestors, friends and relatives from 2 or more generations ago...right up to the
present day. I've tried to include in there...any close friends who were especially
important to the family...and Owen is right smack dab in the middle of our picture.
I'm going to send him a 'picture of the picture' :-) if I ever get it done...still
sitting lots of hours with my husbands mom.

I hope we get that forum...and thanks for asking...I hadn't even thought of that.
That would be absolutely wonderful. kathryn

If someone respects another,
they ask the person first generally out of respect.
I know that Owen has been asked
to start a forum of his own
several times, and declined.
It has been suggested to him
several times to consider a blog.
In the past he has said no to all of this.

It was my understanding recently,
that he might consider starting a blog
himself this summer.

If others have used his stuff
and created a blog, using his name and posts,
then it kinda takes his own stuff away from him.

I myself, if unasked,
and folks just chose to create something in my name,
without my permission,
would be highly upset at being *disrepected*
when it takes so little time to simply ask.

Hope you all take this into consideration...
how would YOU feel ?
If I started a blog of ALL your posts?
(without asking and getting your permission?)

PS can I have your permission now? lol

*teasing*

Dear Paulette, Hanna, Trapper, Kathryn, Dusan,
Hopinso, Ami, & Ana,

First of all, thank you for the kind words
you wrote about the messages I've posted on
CureZone. I'm delighted that many of them
resonated with you!

CureZone is a beautiful blossom that has
flowered, unexpectedly, in the winter of my
lifetime. I've always been a teacher, but,
heretofore, my teaching was limited to
classrooms or one-on-one tutoring. CureZone
enables me to cast my seeds, far and wide.
And I know from positive feedback, that
some of those seeds have fallen on fertile
ground. That gives me a deep feeling of
satisfaction. So do the warm friendships
that I've developed with some of you. CureZone
is a win-win situation for me.

Yes, I'd like to see some of my best posts
collected in one spot. Many times, someone
new to CZ asks a question that I've answered
at length in the past. Often, I can't remember
what forum my message was on, or when I posted
it.

I'm a very organized man when it comes to
printed material. I have more than 100 big
three-ring binders filled with all the insightful passages that resonated with me
in a lifetime of reading. They're organized
into categories. In the last 7 years, I've
concentrated most of my efforts on the Health, Healing, & Mysticism binders. I used
to teach a course called Insights, which
involved getting together with four or five
older high school or college students, once
a week for 2 hours in the evening. I would
give each student a binder that had about
20 dividers in it, each labeled with a different category. Some of the categories
were Childhood, Courage, Friendship, Death,
Dreams, Creativity, Goodness, Love, Music,
Myth-Legend, Old Age, and Truth. Then I
would give each student 15 pages of printed
Insights, and we would begin reading and
discussing them.

The students LOVED our discussions! No one wanted the evenings to end. At the end of the
first class, I told them to cut out the
Insights, and tape them into the category
of their choice. After 3 months of Insights,
each student had more than 175 pages of
deeply insightful thoughts into human nature
and the human condition. More importantly,
they had an organized place to put their OWN
insights; passages from books which resonated
with them, and whispered, "Save me!"

I've often wondered if it would be possible
to teach Insights in some fashion on the web.
If any of you have any suggestions, let me know.

Alas, I'm a total klutz when it comes to
technology or machines. It's a kind of
dyslexia; very frustrating, but very real.
So if my best posts were somehow gathered
in one forum or blog, I wouldn't begin to
know how to set it up, transfer them, etc.
I'd need the help of others to organize it.
I'm quite willing to pay one of my CZ friends to take on that task if, indeed, it can be
done. Let me know....

Enough for now! Thanks again for your kind
words. I savor our electronic friendships,
which are very real and very important to me.
Please stay in my life, and let me remain in
yours.

Love & Blessings,

Owen
