Ha no arguement there…My interpretation was **mswas** was speaking in the sense that Christ was coming back to the individual, in much the same sense a Christian might invite Jesus into their heart, and in so doing others might not notice the change immediately. Folks misinterpreted the response and **mswas** geelfully played along with their misinterpretation rather than explain.

But hey, that’s only my take on it.

Ooo,… thanks for the Icke ref. I like to stay up, so that I can temporarily throw up a smokescreen when cornered by the occasional off-med student. The one sent me to his holy site: “The Omega File” - [The OMEGA File : CONCLUSION AND PHILADELPHIA PHASE III](http://www.reptilianagenda.com/exp/e101899a.shtml)

Now, **mswas** , _that_ is what your creative skills are up against. I wish you the best of luck. 🙂

ugh, you’d be surprized at how many times I had to deal with extreme suicidal/mystic-crazed students, as a teacher… It’s a very small percentage, but there’s always one (to some degree) in every large group.

Check out [http://www.crank.net/](http://www.crank.net/). No matter how crazed your student’s belief-system, you’ll find **something** there to top it! 🙂

Pay special attention to entries categorized “Illucid.”
