In Memoriam:
Laura Darlene Lansberry
1939 - 2002


IN REASON WE TRUST
REASON MUST RULE OUR PLANET

Reason and Wisdom (represented by the symbol of the owl) must always rule the nations of earth. No belief should take precedence over any other belief, nor should belief take precedence over non-belief. This symbol of the owl, wise and unifying, is offered to people who wish to express their feelings in a positive but non-religious manner.


We must ALL live on this planet together ... we are the people of the Earth!

It's All Such A Delicate Balance!

INVITATION TO THOSE SEEKING TRUTH!

The information, stories, and various writings on our web site, are drawn from our personal experience and knowledge, or, in large part, from the books listed in our extensive bibliography. However, we invite any sincere seekers of truth not to take our word for anything. Seek out university libraries, do research, and think for yourself. This invitation is the greatest argument in favor of science and rationality, in that we do not determine what is true, as in systems of "magical thinking." It is you who must set yourself free from the fetters of superstition and dogma. It can not be done for you.

So WHAT did Laura mean by 'magical thinking'? She, who knew the secret of Real Magic, what did she mean? Could it be there's a difference between 'magical thinking' and 'magickal thinking'? She was in no way spurning the hard transformational work of Xeper, but was speaking of the mentality which seeks easy fixes, WISHING MAKES IT SO, no effort, no evidence, and no effect. One cannot abandon rationality. If you want any sort of enlightenment, you have to WORK for it.

THE TREES OF CYBER

Connections ethereal,
branching out,
spidering here, there
and everywhere.
Time has a new meaning here.  
Souls and minds
leave their marks
on the trees of Cyber.
The forest grows
and changes,
never the same.
With trees of wood
are made books,
these few and dear.
Now anyone can be author
their pages open to all.
In this luminescence,
let each of our truths
be known.

Joan Ann Lansberry
