thanks for making yourself known to everyone else here - its always good when a 'guest' puts a name tag on

I've found this forum such an invaluable resource in my own research and personal journey; there are many wise heads here. But as with any relationship, I think you need to be prepared to give something of yourself before you can expect others to give of themselves. If you believe, as you say, that each of us is our own guide, I salute you. Myself, I am grateful for the guidance of those who have gone before me, and offer it so openly.

This is a place where knowledge and experiences are shared; and to participate, all that is required is that you too share.

So welcome; I look forward to hearing more about you
