It symbolises my deep psychological need to be hidden from everyone. I don't get on with people unfortunately, I don't fit in very well, in fact I communicate mostly with written words, from emails to texts, I rarely speak more than one or two sentences a day, as I work nights (in my lab) I will often go weeks without talking to a single soul. I like it this way, well its been the norm ever since I was a child. Please no sympathy, its my path... Neo Gnosticism is work in progress..its basically my own baby and every post I make here and on other sites are intended to show some part of my beliefs. For me its Gnosticism without the taint of so called 'christianity' mixed with some natural philosophy and hinduistic/buddhist philosophy. Thanx for the question, hope my answer makes sense...

Who is the Simon in your screen name?
What sort of lab work do you do? How has Hindu/Buddhist philosophy found itself mixed in with your beliefs? What beliefs were you raised with? Peace, Mystic

My lab work varies from the mundane to the exciting, I test all kinds of organic and in organic samples for their chemical and elemental compositions. Everything from the levels of fructose in strawberry jam to the quantative measurement of gold in tap water, they bring it to me and tell me what they are looking for and I preform qualative and quantative analysis upon the sample using various instrumentation (HPLC IC AAS Wet chem etc...) It can get very dull, but it generates a substantial income...many companies are legally required to have their products or farmland or chimney ash or brick mortar etc... tested. In short I am an analytical chemist (but my real passion is astronomy and planetary ecology/geology) The main doctrines of Buddhism and Hinduism have strongly influenced my beliefs. I feel with Hinduism that the hindu approach to religion and worship is very wise, in that people should revere God in the forms they can deal with. With Buddhism I believe what it teaches about karma and suffering is essential to my own belief system. I was raised a Roman Catholic. But I utterly reject catholism and evangelical christianity, it is my feverent wish to see the Vatican reduced to rubble, if that offends anyone then I am sorry but I feel that strongly about christianity, if it is possible to hate a religion then I do.

I didn't happen..Jesus (if he existed at all) was human not God...its a lie perpetrated by the church to enforce the unholy doctrine of heaven and hell upon you. To make you a slave to your own fear of condemnation by God. Its a pack of lies, christianity is merely another cult...nothing more. Last edited by Simon Gnosis; 09-10-2006 at 08:17 AM.

Are you a fan of Stephen Hawking? Carl Sagan?
Do you own a telescope so you can enjoy your passion? Is the universe expanding or contracting? How so, in your opinion? Peace, Mystic

I do own a telescope, thus I love the winter because it means I get to use it! The universe is expanding, demonstrated by the observable red doppler shift in distant galaxies and in accordance with universal expansion theory (big bang theory) The universe will expand forever, until the protons themselves decay...
