A dancing cat? I suppose that sounds entertaining... :) So I suppose that he lent his voice to the cat...? I can't picture it any other way... heh... All I know is Jay Mohr does a really good impression of him...

When I came back on the Road that leads to the Crown of Life I saw people comming down the Road that were in morning. I knew that they would be comforted. I saw peiole that wer hungering for the truth. I knew that they would be filled. I saw people that hated their enemes and I knew that the would love them. I saw people that had been persecuted and I knew that they would make it to the Kingdom. I saw people that wanted mercy, and I knew that they would find it. I saw people that were addicted to drugs, and I knew that they wold be unshakled. I saw people that were poor, and I knew that they would be rich. I saw people that were rejected, and I knew that theywould be accepted. Wouldyou walk dwn tat road and recieve the Crown of Life and all things that you want will be added to you. Will you forgive at the first Gate, for if you forgive, you will be forgiven.

When I came back on the Road, I saw people with troubled hearts. They had unanswered questions . I knew that there was a place prepared for them that would answer their questions and relieve the suffering of their troubled hearts. I have been to that City of Peace.

No, he didn't lend his voice. He *was* Puss. As soon as the boots went on, he wasn't a cat. Without the boots, an ordinary cat was used, but Christopher Walken was the main character & appeared as himself - no animation, just make-believe. The actual cat was used in only a couple of scenes. If it's on video, I highly recommend it for light entertainment.

ISO ,Kid and Paula
When I was in Great City, I was told that one of the conditions to keep the Crown of Life would be that I would have to fullfill a commission to find others to tell them about the Crown of Life. I was told that people would defame me and equate me with all kinds of evil, falsely. I was told that people would say that there is no City of Peace. I was told that I would be ridiculed and mocked. I was told that I could even be killed by those that are defaming me. But when I accepted the Crown of Life, I also accepted the ridicule of the world ad the pain of rejection. It was difficult in that public park to absorb the ridicule and jeering. It was difficult to accept the ostracism by my family and my frieds and my coworkers. But when I came back from the road I found that I was given 100 friends to replace each friend that mocked me. I found that I was given a job that paid 100 times what I was paid as a teacher. I found that I was given a wife that was 100 times more loving to replace my wife that left me. I found that I had 100 mothers to replace the one that died . And 100 fathers and 100 brothers. I was told that I had recieved the Crown of Life because I had overcome. So I must ovecome all things now.

Lou,
I think you sometimes mistake simple discussion for ridicule. Have you read Til We Have Faces by CS Lewis? It is, in fact, a great book.
Most paths (roads, if you prefer) to enlightenment of some sort suggest that the journey is just as--or more--important as the destination. Discussion and questioning are part of the journey. Are we not permitted to discuss? Why must we be button-holed as either "following" or "ridiculing" you? I for one am happy that you've found a path (and a destination) that resonates with you. If discussion and questioning is not a part of the Road--and especially if you're offended by my questions--then I'll simply stop contributing.

Forgive me if I thoght that you contrbution was meant as ridicule. You may certianly say whatever you would like or I have championed free speech and believe that all speech is good. I believe that it is the people that are silient that are dangerous. We should all be free to say what we want without fear. I will explain anything that anyone asks me on this board about how I was transformed from someone that wanted to kill themselves to someone that has a whole new life and wants to share it with othes that are suffering. One of you asked me to "look around" and I see so much suffering on this board. There are people that are crying out in pain and desparation, there are people that have lost hope, there are people that want to die. I am asking you to join the few of us that want to know what they must do to open gates 4-7. I am asking you to go with us and if the journey is not going ware you want it t go you can turn back. On that road are all people. Even people that have prescribed to Lewis Caroll's books. Even those that believe that cats can dance, and where boots. Is doesn't matter what you believe on that Road. For when you arrive at the City, you shall know the
truth, and the Truth shall set you free. Before I went down that road, I was a philosopher also. But after I enetered that City, I found that the wisdom of the world was foolishness. I found out that the dancing cat was a lie. I did, however, find out that all of our suffering was being made into a treasure for us. Will you join us to that place. For where your treasue is, there will your heart be also.

Cam;
Thank you for allerting me about the names of the Lewises. Ihave a rare neurological disorder that associates words into music. When you sad CS Lewis, I began to hear" St. Louie Women" I heard that for an hour and then "Meet me in St. Louie" took over. Then I rememberd Sinclair Lewis and this would go on like a pinball machine. Forgive me for the wrong association for I can not controll this at all.
I have read many of your posts and find tht you are a brilliant man. Albert Einstien believed in the creation. Perhaps we can email each other and talk about things.

Kid A,
You are absolutly right. Evryone does have the right to their own beliefs. I never thought that my beliefs would ever be changed. They were changed, drastically. I am trying to reach people whose beliefs have failed them. It is only then that I changed, for if my original beliefs were correct, then I would not have been suffering to the point of cnsidering my own death. That is one of the reasons that I have changed. For I have a whole new life. That is what one of the Gates that we havn't gotton to yet talks about.

I keep reading this thread and I should not, because it makes me see red. You are leading folks into a cult. You want us to respond in any way they please, because then you have our attention. You are quite adept at twisting words.
My posts were meant to discourage you - they did not.
I've complained about the board being too "PC" and not allowing enough to be said, but there is a time to put a stop to a destructive thread. This has gone on long enough.

Lou - I think that if you read Einstein a little more closely, I believe that you will find that he was not a creationist. He used god in analogies, not unlike physicists now refer to "flavours" of quarks (eg. charmed, bottom, top, etc.). His "god does not play dice" quote was referring to the mathematical nature of the universe.
Also, I do not often correspond complex theories via email, unless I "know" the person with whom I am exchanging more esoteric theories (eg. stjames, SLS, and at one time finelinebob). I prefer to keep my conversations public, thereby avoiding any misconceptions which may arise that could be used against me. There is strength (and wisdom) in numbers; and allowing others the ability to critique a given discussion and allowing them the option of providing input expands and enriches insight into the topic.
Sorry, I delete any unsolicited questions via email without responding. - Cam

I like very much what you said, Cam, about public discussion. I agree completely, particularly in matters of spirit and philosophy. If I may add a very low-brow analogy to answer Krazy Kat's fears about spreading a cult. Ever listen to the late-night radio show hosted by Art Bell ("Coast to Coast AM")? He is famous (or infamous) for having guests who talk about, do research on, etc, UFOs, aliens, crop circles, the paranormal, spiritual matters, out of body experiences, etc, etc.. No matter how far-out the guests may sound (and sometimes they are astounding) Art engages them in discussion. Just as there is strength and wisdom in numbers, there is a similar wisdom in not dismissing people or ideas out of hand. Sometimes the most challenging discussions are the most interesting. Plus, strong ideas tend to hold up well under discussion while the weaker ones, well....
