Greetings, SBG. I too am new here, although I have long considered myself a Seeker of Truth and Knowledge, and I have spent many years happily curled up with a book. Now our world is changing, and trying to figure out the nightmares that seem to go on unceasingly, has caused what is being called "The Great Awakening." Becoming aware that we are more than what we have been told, and that we may have the ability to connect to Angels, Ascended Masters, or just become Masters of Magic and Qaballah, and help others with this knowledge. That seems to me to be a worthy goal, and I salute you for taking this first step into understanding more of the Reality of our World and our connection to Higher Sources. Much Love in your Quest!
