In reply to Lou answers Beardedlady's question.---The Letter, posted by Lou Pilder on March 8, 2002, at 12:19:22
Friends;
I awoke the next day in torment. I only had thoughts of returning to that Paradise. I did not know the way back. I went to a park in Cincinnati called Eden Park.(this is the real name of this park and if you are in Cincinnati you can look it up). There was a man standing in a white robe with a staff and sandles saying,"Blessed are the peacemakers--", "Blessed are they that morn",--- Blesseed are they---"and while he spoke people jeerd him and mocked him. One yelled out,"Your crazy, go to the psych ward." Another yelled out,"Hey messiah, turn these stones into pizzas." He answered him and said,"Man shall not live by bread alone." The people were silent and left quickly. I went up to him and said," I don't think that you are crazy." He stretched out his hand and there was a pearl in it. Then he said, " Today you will be with me in Paradise".
I, Lou, experianced this. This actually happened to me.
Shabott Shalom,
Lou

Hi Lou,
I just noticed that no one was responding for a while. I wanted to let you know that some of us are curious about where your path leads. Just lending support - that's all!

Friends;
I walked into the Garden and was greeted by the group. They told me that while I was away that they had no depression, fear, doubt, nervesness, anxiety or worry and it was because they were eating the fruit of the vine that was in the garden. I ate the fruit and my depression lifted. There was joy and love and peace among all of us. We realised it came from the fruit of the vine.
Then the Rider having many Crowns appeard. He spoke to us and said, "I am the Vine and my Father is the Vinedresser. I am the Vine and you are the Branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him bears much fruit. As my Father has loved Me,I also have loved you. If you keep My commmandments, you will abide in my love. This is My commmandment, that you love one another as I have loved you. Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one's life for his frends."
Then a gate down the Road appeard and He said, " Those that want to abide in Me can come through that Gate on the Road to the Crown of Life" Some went back , but I went through the 5th Gate.
I, Lou,experianced this.

Friends;
We were going on the Road and there were people grumbling saying that they were worried that they would not have food, clothing and shelter on this Road. The Rider stopped and turned to us and said," Do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink or about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing? Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? Which of you by worrying can add one second to your lifespan?"
"So why do you worry about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin; and yet I say to you that even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. Now if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is, and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will He not much cloth you, O you of little faith?"
"Thearfore do not worry, saying," What shall we eat? or what shall we drink? or what shall we wear? But seek first the Kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.

Friends;
Two months ago, I came here to Psycho-Babble with the hope that there was a beacon of light to free me from my affliction. But after 2 months, I face the tragic fact that I am an outcast to my own peple.
In a sence, I came here to find fellowship. Instead, I found rejection. In a sence, I came here to find a door to open. Instead, the door was slammed shut. In a sence, I came here to find reason. Instead, I found wrath. In a sence, I came here to find acceptance. Instead, I found ridicule.
It is obvious that Psycho-Babble has refused to honor its own creed. But now is the time for Psycho-Babble to open its doors to ALL. Now is the time to have change. There is no time to debate about this. There are too many people suffering to be blocked from felowship.
I have seen the sufferings of you. Some of you can not end the addiction to your drugs. Some of you can not get out of your depression. There is no freedom on Psycho-Babble. You need freedom in order to be freed from your afflictions. You need freedom to be freed from your drugs.
I had a dream. I could not finish that dream for I need freedom to finish the dream. I have a dream that evryone of you will overcome your addictions. I have a dream that evryone of you will overcome your depressions. I have a dream that evryone of you will recieve the Crown of Life and be FREE AT LAST.
Friends, I must leave you. But if you ever are in a drug that you can not get out of, remember the Crown of Life. If there is ever a depression that you can not come out of, remeber the Crown of Life. For when I found my WAY to the City of Peace, the Rider with many Crowns said to me, " I am the WAY, I am the TRUTH, I am the LIFE.
Goodbye, my FRIENDS,
Lou

Lou, no one that I've noticed is ridiculing you. While people aren't posting back in response, I thought that was agreed upon that you would just go on explaining your journey along the road. I'm sure there's still some who are continuing to read. I have found what I hope for, but maybe others are still looking (& reading your posts).
You do seem to still want responses from somebody to assure you. Why not simply post & ask if anybody is still reading & are interested to know more? That way, you'll know for sure.

Lou,
No one is ridiculing you or slamming the door shut. You've changed your way in telling your story of the Crown of Life so that it is easier for us to absorb. (Before, you were accusatory of anyone with different views and a bit preachy, if you don't mind me saying...) I think many people want to hear more. Please go on.

Friends;
No none has done any of those things on this thread for it was agreed that I would condense and others would not interrupt. The problems happenend on other threads.
But I must have freedom in order to write what happened at the 6th and 7th Gate on the Road to the Crown of Life. I do not even have the freedom to be me on this board. I am just like you and suffer the same afflictions as you. I have OCD. I have depression. I hear things. I have unusuall excitement.I have memory lapse. I have been to the psych ward. I have been to the Vally of the Shadow of Death. AndI have seen the comming of the Glory of the Lord. I want all of you to see that comming. But I must be free to tell you without the fear of being what I am.
You have been the pillars of this board. You have held up many that are fallen. And I believe that you are sincerer in wanting me to continue with the Road that leads to the Crown of Life.
Now you have seen that the pillars in my life are Abraham Lincoln and Martin Luther King. They peer out on all of my posts. They have not died for they live in our hearts. They recieved the Crown of Life. They overcame. I want all of you to overcome.
Now if I am to return to tis board then I must have the following:
a)That Dr. Bob immmediatly suspend the "pressue" rule in his civility rules untill they are revised to accomodate the afflictions that we all have.
b) That Dr. Bob forgive all those that are under a block and allow them to return to fellowship with the others on this board immediatly.
I would like to finish the Road, for it is the 6th and 7th Gate that lead you to the Truth that will set you free.

Well Lou, it certainly sounds like you are ablaze w/the activist fire of your heroes MLK and Old Hickory. As an old-school radical myself I can't help but chuckle in recognition of my own often far-reaching advocacy. I always mean well, as do you.If you only knew how dear you are, how sturdy AND fragile, both guarded AND exposed, and not quite so black OR white as I've seen in the archives.
I'd just really hate to see your continued participation depend solely on the wit or whimsy of a beaurocratic decision. You give Dr. Bob so much power, Lou.
Anyway, I'm glad to see you posting today, hope you stick aroundtrouble

Trouble
It is not I that has been speaking here. It is those that live in me. Can you believe that someone can dwell in you?
When I left the City of Peace I heard the Rider say, "I will not leave you comfortless.I will come to you. Because I live, you shall also live. And you shall know that I am in my Father and you are in me and I am in you."
"and if any one love me, he shall be loved by my Father and we will come into him and make our abode with him."

Lou,
Dr. Bob will not suspend any kind of pressure rule, I'm sure. Besides, I don't really think you've been pressuring people lately. As for those who are blocked, they can still read about your experience and possibly gain from it. I think trouble brings up a good point: you give Dr. Bob too much power. He simply wants us all to be civil to each other. I think you can continue your story without fear of his intervention as long as you focus on simply sharing what you know. Share it and hope others will follow. Beyond that, there is nothing to do. And sharing what you've experienced is huge. I'm a big advocate of everyone speaking their mind here and I'd love you to continue to do so. I hope you don't leave.

ST;
I would like to finish the Road. But there are forces working against me on this board that freeze my initiative to write. I am threatenened with a 4 week expulsion if I "presssure". Now , in a sense, any sentence could be construed to constitute "pressure". So I can not speak at all. It is called the "chilling effect" and is a violation of our right to freedom of speech. But we do not have our rights on this board. So I have tried to tell what I have experianced but with the spector of being banished for 4 weeks walking behind me, I have a fear that whatever I say will be deemed as "pressure". Now you admit that I am not pressuring anyone. And I am not. And you know that other people speak through me.
Now the thought is that we must give up our rights. Many have tried to ligitamise our giving up our rights. But I remember a great American that spoke about giving up their rights in 1775. He was speaking to the house before the Declaration if Independance and he said,
"What is it that gentleman wish? What would they have? Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but for me, GIVE ME LIBERTY or GIVE ME DEATH!"
This was spoken by Patric Henry in 1775.

C'mon, Lou. You know the difference between pressuring someone and telling a story. The two things have little to with one another in your case. Just tell your story.
Besides, who will you be punishing? It's a story you need to tell, so why punish yourself by not doing it out of the fear of getting punished for doing it?

Ladyfriend;
I can not referr to you as a beardedlady. I will call you ladyfriend.
When I was on the Road that leads to the Crown of Life I saw a light. That light led me out of my darkness. I want to tell you about that light, but I can not tell you if there is the threat to turn off the light. I must have the unobscured freedom to write about the light so that it will come through.
When I was in the City of Peace the Rider said to me,
"--light is come into the world,----"
I, Lou , saw that light of Glory. And I remember as a child when I read a Psalm that said,
" The Lord is my light and my salvation;
Whom shall I fear?
The Lord is the strengh of my life;
Of whom shall I be afraid?"

Lou - it does seem kinda silly that you need absolute freedom to tell others about absolute freedom, but I guess you need what you need.
It seems like everyone is having issues with this board, feeling like things are mind games or too heavily censored, that they aren't supported and that they have to leave.
Since I don't feel this way, I am wondering what people want to have happen that could make it better? Cause I for one would be willing to do it.

It is good to hear from you again. Your question is a vey valid question andI wantto answer your question.
I can only speak for myself. But once I was slave and now I am free. Once I was manicled to lies. Once I was blinded by darkness. Once I hd no hope.
I want to tell you how was unshakled. I want to tell you how I was led out of my darkness and into a marvelous light. I want to tell you how I became free.
I believe that ther are people here that want to be free. I believe that they want to be led to a promised land. I believe that there are people reading this right now that are looking for the waters of gloom and despair to part and allow them to escape addiction and depression. I believe that here are pople here that will overcome and sing a new song. I believe that they will sing the old slavery song from the South which went, "Free at last, Free at last, God almighty! I am free at last."
Ibeliev that thereis a way for us all to be fre, but I must have the freedom to tell it.

We live in 2002. But I live in 1776 and 1865 when the people that gave us our freedom died to give it to us. What I want to have happen on this board is to go back in time and remeber those that died for our freedom and show them that they did not die in vain. I believe that Abraham Lincoln is warching this board and that he is saying,"-- that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom--and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.

Lini;
You have mentioned that the creed o Psycho-Babble is "support". I want to tell the people here about the support that I have found. But I must have the freedoms that this country stands for, the creed of America, which ,I contend, will enable us to get that support. I believe,to answer your question, that by allowing freedom of speech on this board that the creed of Psycho-Babble will be furthered. So you say, "what should we have done?" . My answer is to go back in time and examine those that were before us and follow their quest for freedom. They died so that me and you can be free today. I would also not like to go back in time to live in those times. For I have felt the lash of descrimination also. My ancestors were enslaved. I am aking that we go back in time in our hearts to remember that those that died to give us freedom did not die in vain.

Dr. Bob;
To answer your question, I would have to say that I do not know what he would say. But here is what he did say i 1775:
"No man thinks more highly than I do of the patriotism, as well as abilities, of the very worthy gentleman who have just addressed the house. But different men often see the same subject in different lights; and thearefor, I hope it would not be thought disrespectful to those gentleman if, entertaining as I do of opinions of a character very opposite to theirs, I shall speak forth my sentiments freely and without reserve. This is no time for ceremony. The question before the house is one of awful moment to this country. For my own part. I consider it as nothing less than a question of freedom or slavery; and in proportion to the magnatude of the subject ought to be the freedom of the debate. It is only in this way that we can hope to arrive at the truth, and fulfill the great responsibility which we hold to God and our country. Should I keep back my opinions at such a time, through fear of giving offense, I should consider myself as guilty of treason towards my country, and an act of disloyalty toword the Majesty of Heaven, which I revere above all earthly kings.

I have just given what Patric Henry did say in 1775. He said that there was no time for ceremony:
Dr. Bob, there is no time here for you to keep me from speaking freely. The situation here is also one of freedom or slavery. People here are slaves to addictive drugs. They need to be freed. People here are slaves to depression. They need to be freed.
I can not remain silent or I would be guilty of treason to my God. I must be allowed to tell the people that want to be free from their drugs how to overcome and break the shakles of addiction and depression. I can only do that if I have the freedom to say what I want to say without the fear of your blocking. Change your policy on freedom of speech right now. there is no time for cerimony. Let my people go.

Dr. Bob;
Patric Henry did say in 1775:
"--in proportion to the magnitude of the subject ought to be the freedom of the debate. It is only in this way that we can hope to arrive at the truth."
What could be more than the "magnitude" here? I see people who are desparate. I see people that have lost hope. I see people that are crying out for help. Their drugs have failed. Their theripists have failed. Their psychiatrists have failed. What is left for them to try?
You have failed me , Dr. Bob. Instead of allowing me to speak freely, you haver allowed others to slander, ridicule and debase me. You allowed a person to impersonate a lisenced professional and at the same time, you slandered me by labeling me a "pressurer". I am not a "pressurer" . Your attempt to label me as such was a transparent attempt to allow the person that was giving false credentials to escape his blocking. He is the one that should have been blocked and his behavior , to me, constitutes, "harming the integrety of the board". He apologised, and I forgave him and I forgive you for your obvious disregard for "equal protection."
Dr. Bob, when I was at the City of Peace, I asked the Rider with many Crowns how many times one should forgive another. Should I forgive them 7 times? He said, "70 times 7." If we are going to give support here, then we must all forgive and your blocking of people is , to me, a violation of the rights of the people on this board for they are disabled. They can not live up to the impossible standards that you have imposed on them. You want them to make bricks without straw.

Friends;
On the Road to the 6th Gate I somehow wandered off the Road and came to an immense battlefied. There were men dyeng on all sides of me. there were thousands of men laying dead on the ground.Some wore blue and some wore grey. I ducked down to avoid the bulllets. There was a man in grey next to me. He said," our position is lost, we must retreat. He got up on a white horse and told me to jump on. "What is your name?"he said. My name is Lou, I said. "My name is Lee" he said. We went into the woods and came to a rest. "Where are we?" I said. "Pennslyvania" he said. I asked him what was happening and he said, "People are dying for freedom. The North is dyeing for freedom and the South is dying for their freedom. This is insane ,isn't it Lou?" I asked him why he was fighting and he said, "I don't care about any of this. I am just a soldier and my home is in Virginia and if it was in New Hampshire I would be fighting for the North. But people must die to have freedom". I asked him to repeat that. He said, "Yes, Lou, people must die for others to have freedom. Someone must die so that you can be free." "Someone must die so that I can be free?, Lee" "That's right ,Lou. Someone must die so that you can be free.
He had the most beutifull pistol at his side. It had grips made of pearl and his uniform was impeccibly tailored. His stature could be used to model a sculpture. I asked him how I could get back to the Road and he told me to hold his gun in my hand for a minuete. While I was holding the gun, I asked him for his last name. He said," Lee is my last name. My name is Robert Lee, Robert E. Lee.
I,Lou experianced this. He said, "Someone must die so that you can be free." Someone did die so that we could all be free. Someone vollenteered to die for us so that we could be free. My friends, I may be forced to leave this board and if that happens,remember the history of the world. Look at all the wars and how people died so that others could be free. There is somone that died so that you can be free. If I am gone from this board I am telling you that I was found by someone that died so that I could be free. And if the torch of freedom falls from my hands, I want you to pick it up so that it shines to others. If I am forced to leave this board, find the one that died to make you free.
