Spirituality/metaphysics/paranormal/dreams/etc. No ‘preaching’ or promoting specific religion/creed/belief. Posts must contain substantial material that will be of interest to our members & not just promote your book or personal agenda. Poems need to have some teaching or personal sharing value that is directly group-theme related. NOT a group for items that delve into the dark, negative side of the occult arts.

NOTE 1: This is a moderated group: Any material provided to this group must be approved prior to accepting it into the group. If an item is refused for this group, please don't be hurt, it will be because I didn't feel it was theme-specific (or the unthinkable occurred: I made a mistake! lol). You can always e-mail me to ask about it, if there is any confusion.

NOTE 2: If you submit anything asking for readers to vote on it, or anything selling/promoting your book and/or other material, without significant theme-related material independent of your self-promotional interest, your submission will be declined.

Ultimately, it is my hope that the material published to this group will provide insight into life's continuance (beyond this human body), and the many mysteries that life beyond the known five senses holds; that it will seed thought within the reader and stimulate each person's inner seeking on this, their personal life's journey.

There is such a wide range of information and experiences within the arena of the esoteric that I wanted to start a group that would encourage members to share an equally wide range of ideas and insights through articles, images and videos; enough to satisfy the varying interests and needs of our readers.

I have chosen to moderate it to ensure that our readers can count on the material to be theme-specific. I've named the group in a rather simplistic, to-the-point manner for the same purpose. Hopefully this will be enough to avoid confusion for those publishing their content, when they reach that point where they're going through their list of Gather groups to publish to.

The tags I've listed provide a better description of this group than I could give by writing a long description here. I am mostly looking for non-fiction submissions, but will accept fiction if it provides a sense of guidance and teaching within the area of metaphysics, spirituality, the paranormal, the esoteric, etc. I encourage material where you've shared personal experiences that fit within this theme---such as your own experiences of seeing or feeling a ghost or entity; the results of your own foresight or gut-feeling; what you experienced as a ghost hunter; your life as a channel or medium; your experiences with the Tarot; what you learned, saw or felt during a meditation; what you learned, saw or felt during a Tibetan Bells ceremony; how you remember being somewhere that you've never been before; how you 'knew' someone was going to phone and the phone rings, and sure enough, it's them..........and so on. Sharing personal experiences is so valuable to other readers and it helps them to learn to trust their own experiences!

Items submitted to this group should be non-religious; sharing about spirituality is good and encouraged, promoting, in any way, a specific religion, creed or belief is not appropriate for this group.

This is NOT a group for items that delve into the dark, negative side of the occult arts.

I have set this group up for general readership. Any items submitted that have a mature theme will be subject to my personal judgment as to whether or not I believe it fits into the spirit of this group. An example of what could fall into this more mature category could be an article on sexual mysticism or sex transmutation (as might be spoken of when discussing some aspects of the Kundalini or Maithuna). Be sure and flag your articles appropriately for adult content.

This is not a group for politics, religious agendas, games, pets, photos and videos of non-theme-specific items. It is not a place for violence, sexually explicit items, arguments or harassment. Follow simple and respectful rules of etiquette. This IS a place for the sharing of ideas, concepts and experiences of an esoteric nature.

I hope you'll join and enjoy this group in the spirit of harmony; embracing diversity (there is so much to be learned from such).
