I am 27 years old. I read SISL first when I was 20, before that it was "I will fear no evil." That started my love affair with R.A.H.
A little background... I have always lived inside my own head, I surrounded myself with those who questioned everything as I did. But I never found understanding myself, only more questions.
I don't know if there is anyone reading this, but tonight I grokked for the first time 'Thou art God.' I suffer from panic attacks and while in meditation to face the fears lurking in my own mind everything I read by Hienlien solidified. I no longer feel fear or pain only compassion and love. I only hope that tommorow I will still be the divine being I discovered in myself tonight.
I finally grok 'Grok.' I seek now to share water and grow closer.

Of COURSE, there are people reading this...and I want to personally welcome you to the Stranger tribe. Your experiences allow many of us to relate from empathy, as we are composed of a group of individuals who have found one of the most special forms of human bonding that has ever become known... introduced to us as a concept by RAH and inspiring to multiple generations of intelligent, open-minded, science-fiction-readers and free thinkers, who are willing to dare to live and love on the leading edge of our world's evolution beyond the established confines of spirituality, self-knowledge, and life optimization.
In fact,
You Grok
I Grok
We All Grok
(or at least those who have read SISL and/or other books by Heinlein do!)
I have no doubts that you are realizing what you have hoped for...
namely "Thou Art God" and as such, you remain the divine being that you discovered and which you will continue to discover again and again.
May You Never Thirst!
Peace.Out
PABlo

Re: No longer a nymph
Mon, July 25, 2005 - 12:48 PMWhat? People read this! Damn, my secrets are out! :)
I think it's great that you (and any of us) can have experiances that can lead us to some kind of understanding of the world. The ideas of RAH have spread far and I'm glad they have, even if many do not realize where they come from.
I've been meeting people who understand the concepts yet have never picked up SISL. -

Thu, July 28, 2005 - 4:31 PMSo just out of curiosity Mike...I was wondering if you are implying that you've never read SISL? Or am I jumping to conclusions too fast?

Re: No longer a nymph
Thu, July 28, 2005 - 4:51 PMI re-read it every 10 years or so as I do with a few things that have been influencial in shapeing my world view.
Had quite a different effect on me when I was a teen as it does now.
Just ment that I have been meeting more and more people who understand and like the concepts, yet have never even heard of SISL.
