You may like it or hate it, but it will be yours for the entire period this time round. You will learn lessons. You are enrolled in a full time informal school called life. Each day in this school you will have the opportunity to learn lessons. You may like the lessons or you may think them irrelevant and stupid. There are no mistakes, only lessons. Growth is a process of trial and error experimentation. The 'failed' experiments are as much a part of the process as the experiment that ultimately 'works.' A lesson is repeated until learned. A lesson will be presented to you in various forms until you have learned it. When you have learned it you can then go to the next lesson. Learning lessons does not end. There is no part of life that does not contain it's lessons. As long as you are alive, there are lessons to be learned. "There" is no better than "here." When you're "there" has become "here" you will simply obtain another "there" that will look again better than "here." Others are merely mirrors of you. You cannot love or hate something about another person unless it reflects something you love or hate in yourself. What you make of your life is up to you. You have all the tools and resources you need. What you do with them is up to you. The choice is yours. Your answers to life's questions lie inside you. All you need to do is look, listen and trust author unknown................. ###### From: "capuchin" Newsgroups: alt.out-of-body References: <39bdf3f0.638008@news.dial.pipex.com> Subject: Re: Rules for being human Lines: 74 X-Newsreader: Microsoft Outlook Express 4.71.1712.3 X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V4.72.2106.4 Message-ID: X-Trace: +SHLvmu4PLt9Pvia4gE8g0xg79xNlr6UkMAtvwJtiUkHdR8SoblIucTETXPkkvNmAqeMqZhO0fqp!PkfE/oHS13sLWtgoWt8rhxPm1XNCHpGZtbWgmDexAYH5MfUg3TBBLMS8a067lDpE7n+lklfgS/lZ!ILRmiak6 X-Complaints-To: abuse@gte.net X-Abuse-Info: Please be sure to forward a copy of ALL headers X-Abuse-Info: Otherwise we will be unable to process your complaint properly NNTP-Posting-Date: Tue, 12 Sep 2000 22:52:22 GMT Distribution: world Date: Tue, 12 Sep 2000 22:52:23 GMT Path: chonsp.franklin.ch!pfaff.ethz.ch!news-zh.switch.ch!newsfeed-zh.ip-plus.net!news.ip-plus.net!News.Amsterdam.UnisourceCS!newshunter!cosy.sbg.ac.at!newsfeed.Austria.EU.net!nmaster.kpnqwest.net!npeer.kpnqwest.net!news-peer.gip.net!news.gsl.net!gip.net!cpk-news-hub1.bbnplanet.com!paloalto-snh1.gtei.net!news.gtei.net!dfiatx1-snr1.gtei.net.POSTED!not-for-mail Xref: chonsp.franklin.ch alt.out-of-body:50908 Julia Hawkes-Moore wrote in message <39bdf3f0.638008@news.dial.pipex.com>... >RULES FOR BEING HUMAN > > You will receive a body. > > You may like it or hate it, but it will be yours for the entire >period this > time round. > > You will learn lessons. > > You are enrolled in a full time informal school called life. > > Each day in this school you will have the opportunity to learn >lessons. > > You may like the lessons or you may think them irrelevant and >stupid. > > There are no mistakes, only lessons. > > Growth is a process of trial and error experimentation. > > The 'failed' experiments are as much a part of the process as the >experiment > that ultimately 'works.' > > A lesson is repeated until learned.

'Moot' was a European meeting place, usually on top of a hill, where the mooting or Thing (local parliament) gathered to discuss (not debate - that was Greece!) issues. Sort of like a newsgroup with far-reaching views. ###### From: "Dark Sage" Newsgroups: alt.out-of-body Subject: Re: Rules for being human Date: Wed, 13 Sep 2000 10:23:39 -0400 Lines: 71 Message-ID: <8po2t3$aon$1@bob.news.rcn.net> References: <39bdf3f0.638008@news.dial.pipex.com> X-Trace: gNjWUb+lxcgzznxbKUoVW5LwD+fRG6JZS62cTCjAZR0= X-Complaints-To: abuse@rcn.com NNTP-Posting-Date: 13 Sep 2000 14:27:47 GMT X-Newsreader: Microsoft Outlook Express 5.00.2919.6600 X-MSMail-Priority: Normal X-Priority: 3 X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V5.00.2919.6600 Path: chonsp.franklin.ch!pfaff.ethz.ch!news-zh.switch.ch!newsfeed-zh.ip-plus.net!news.ip-plus.net!news.tesion.net!news.belwue.de!news-stu1.dfn.de!news-mue1.dfn.de!news-nue1.dfn.de!uni-erlangen.de!newsfeed.germany.net!fr.clara.net!diablo.netcom.net.uk!netcom.net.uk!cpk-news-hub1.bbnplanet.com!news.gtei.net!feed1.news.rcn.net!rcn!not-for-mail Xref: chonsp.franklin.ch alt.out-of-body:50888 > RULES FOR BEING HUMAN > > You will receive a body. > > You may like it or hate it, but it will be yours for the entire > period this > time round. > > You will learn lessons. > > You are enrolled in a full time informal school called life. > > Each day in this school you will have the opportunity to learn > lessons. > > You may like the lessons or you may think them irrelevant and > stupid. > > There are no mistakes, only lessons. > > Growth is a process of trial and error experimentation. > > The 'failed' experiments are as much a part of the process as the > experiment > that ultimately 'works.' > > A lesson is repeated until learned.
