Hey guys, I just wanted to check in and say "hi" and see how everyone is doing...I honestly haven't had the mental capacity to engage with anything spiritual, and I've been honestly so angry and miserable with school that I haven't even wanted to think about God for the past several months.
I saw a while back that Soulgazer had passed away and that was another reason I haven't been around. It really hit me hard today that he's been such a huge mentor to me (as I'm sure he has been to many others) over the last seven years and I never got a chance to thank him or tell him how much it meant to me (although I'm sure he knows, hanging out somewhere in the pleroma).
If it hadn't been for discovering Gnostic Christianity and having some amazing teachers like James, I don't know where I'd be right now. I started reading about all this stuff at a time that was really difficult for me, and whether or I knew it or not I was at a point where I either had to reject the idea of God altogether, or find some way to understand God that wasn't so completely insane. And discovering the wisdom of all these teachings is probably about the only thing that has kept my head above water at times.
So anyway I hope you are all doing well, and if you can catch me up on what you guys have been up to and what has been going on around here. I hope to get back to posting and being engaged a bit over the summer break, now that I'm not so overwhelmed with stress.
