Curosity got the best of me, I found what I think you may have been talking about, LEXING mens names....this is all I found on it:

"By the same rules, we can't use the feminine "sheself" (she elf), but that doesn't matter because we still have one feminine identification we can use: herself and her elf. However what about men, what about masculine elves? We can't use himself (him elf), as we already know. And clearly it would be dreadful to use hisself (hisSelf). Our human wordsmiths will not permit such gross usage. Therefore, the masculine sex has been exiled from elfdom by both the word druids and the human wordsmiths."

3rd paragraph

"Because we know that these small nauture-spirits are much smarted than our dictionary compiler human wordsmiths, that they are just wise druids who were given a sacred mission by our Creators, they must have had good cause for having banished the masculine sex from the language paradise of Elfdom, a reason lost in antiquity, and for-eons-forgotton. It will be remembered in a later book, and shattering truth will finally win a victory over our long entrenched patrichical society, not making women superior, but harmoniously equal. the PATRIARCH system TRAP, as the word admits."

I wonder....

I also think to find our *twin self* the emphasis should be on becoming an enLightened being - then finding our twin self will happen accordingly - well, that's how I look at it anyway. Also, more and more I wonder that we would *fall in love* with our twin *self* ... if we did/do, it sure would give new meaning to masturbation

Isn't the meeting of *TWINS* the HOLY GRAIL? I believe, I believe!!! Only when the love flows from each *TWIN* into the cup will it runneth over and angelic hyms will echo in the ethers, and a star will be born.

I believe *TWINS* were a perfect union and were split apart (hence the other term for *TWINS* SPLITAPARTS) We fell to earth and now are on a never ending search to become one again (I GAIN AGAIN)

We've all heard the saying, "Timing is everything." This devine universe sets up the schedule, arrival and departing flights times of friends, babies, lovers, death and our *TWIN*. I have thought after meeting someone, "this timing here sucks." but then realized, who was I to question when the perfect time or perfect meeting situation would be. As far as personals, or internet meeting WOW this is a big world, maybe my *TWIN* is in Uganda, the internet is mostly likely the ONLY opportunity I would have to meet him. Then again, maybe he'll be at my local Mail Box Ectera! Maybe he isn't at all what I pictured him to be...

Maybe our beloved *TWIN* isn't even in physical world this lifetime. I believe (sort of) that we need to be on the same level spiritualy in order for the soul union to not only take place, but to last....

Maybe what we should after a first encounter with someone who knocks our socks off is, take a few days to examine what it was we felt, and what thoughts ran through our mind. We'd find many answers. I remember once when I met this guy (loved him for year and years after the breakup) I remember saying to myself, in the first ten minutes of our ntroduction, "Don't leave me again." He did. Now the flip side, what if I had choose to walk away at that point? What would I have missed out on? Or did I do exactly what was ordained in the heavens? This kind of thinking leads us to grind up an muddle thoughts. Indeed a dangerous trap for our psyche.

I'm trying to focus one this, "It's not the destination we should focus on but the quality of the journey."

WOW I've had too much decaff

One of reviews of his book on Amazon site:

“I was drawn to title, I’d never heard of the author, and after just a few pages I found myself in several heated conversations with people about how writing changed the fate of women. My Dad stormed out of the room saying men and women could never have been equal at any time in history.

I’m just riveted by Dr. Shlain’s ability to weave the suppositions from archeologists, Biblical scholars, historians and neurologists into such an exciting, palatable, provocative and informative read. I’ve been aware of these characters or icons from history all my life, but I’ve never had any sense of relationship among these stories from different lands.

This is the first text I’ve run across that stops to ask why do we know who these people are? How did they learn to write? Who were they before they wrote? What stories DIDN’T get written down? What did they have to sacrifice to learn to write?

It wasn’t until I read his chapters on the “adjustments” the Greek myths suffered that I realized as a girl studying those stories in school, they really did leave me feeling less valuable as a woman and guilty for disliking those female deities. Lo and behold, that’s what they were designed to do! Still effective after 5,000 years.

This is a remarkable text that should not be disregarded as feminist or fantasy. He’s well-researched, offers several respected hypotheses to explain undocumented historical impacts and his presentation is enormously enjoyable.”

How about a lexi for "The Alphabet versus the Goddess"?

I checked out the site, the book sounds facsinating!! I'll buy it when I'm done with the one I'm reading now. I'm trying to get out of the habit of reading many at a time. FOCUS FOCUS FOCUS! Your right on sister it would be a fabulous topic, I can dig it!

LTD,

What if we could buy clocks that ran backwards? I wonder if it's legal (according to the word-druids) to add the letters F-I-N-D-T-W-I-N
to our name for clues to aid us on our search teehee...maybe eh?

You try it first....I'm a chicken

I've some WONDERFUL astrological aspects that are indicators of finding that PERFECT TWIN relationship...can't remember what they are, but according to RL, it's the perfect one and absolute biss is going to happen. Now the question is what do I do for the next three years unil this ideal love aspect hits LMAO???

YIVY YIVY quite contrary how does your garden grow?

"Nothing vast enters the life of mortals without a curse." Sophocles

In this groundbreaking book, Leonard Shlain, author of the bestselling Art & Physics, proposes that the process of learning alphabetic literacy rewired the human brain, with profound consequences for culture. Making remarkable connections across a wide range of subjects including brain function, anthropology, history, and religion, Shlain argues that literacy reinforced the brain¼s linear, abstract, predominantly masculine left hemisphere at the expense of the holistic, iconic feminine right one. This shift upset the balance between men and women initiating the disappearance of goddesses, the abhorrence of images, and, in literacy¼s early stages, the decline of women¼s political status. Patriarchy and misogyny followed.

Shlain contrasts the feminine right-brained oral teachings of Socrates, Buddha, and Jesus with the masculine creeds that evolved when their spoken words were committed to writing. The first book written in an alphabet was the Old Testament and its most important passage was the Ten Commandments. The first two reject of any goddess influence and ban any form of representative art.

The love of Mary, Chivalry, and courtly love arose during the illiterate Dark Ages and plummeted after the invention of the printing press in the Renaissance. The Protestant attack on holy images and Mary followed, as did ferocious religious wars and neurotic witch-hunts. The benefits of literacy are obvious; this gripping narrative explores its dark side, tallying previously unrecognized costs.

ARE YOU SH*TTIN ME? UNBELIEVABLE. STUNNED.

LEXI'S never cease to amaze me.....

When are you changing your name? Have you LEXI-ED it yet? Heck maybe I should change mine to Barbara $$$ Rockerfella..... Years ago I was going to drop my last name and just use Barbara Allen, since Allen is a sir name anyhow...then I thought about dropping Barbara and using my middle and last name only. Figured you could call me AL! Wonder what I would get with that, and how it would change my numberology too.
