The meaning behind your ATS name...

We are Two Souls - One of Us is over 100 years old in this incarnation, and the other is a helper/companion/scribe with a mind of their own.

Either of Us may be posting on any given topic, and sometimes both of Us have Our Say.

its a trap , very effective too

a reply to: Quantum12

I find this thread to be a fascinating topic.

Thanks.

However, I don't wish to play. My name was a priceless gift and a very touching, powerful, important part of my early life and relationships.

It has already been assaulted by one cheeky bustard hereon and I don't wish to engage other trashy attitudes about something that treasured, to me.

But I do enjoy the topic.

I have to assume that you are

MORE Intrepid because of your inner strength of character

vs

because of the knife enhanced fingers?

a reply to: DBCowboy

Just so you're

NOT

Have often wondered about yours.

Ohh this is excellent, I have seen this thread before years ago, but plenty of new names that I wondered about!

Thanks

My name is a reminder that everything is a lie. That nothing is presented to you for your own good. That you have been lied to and will continue to be lied to.
The fake boogeyman that hides behind every false flag.
All the lies over all of the centuries.

Natives = Savages = inquisition.
Communism = evil = Cold War
Cannabis = drugs = bad
Osama = source of problems = death
Global warming = bad = taxes
On and on

The goal = total enslavement of your selves and your children's minds.

My name = lies = Wake the F Up!!!

What's your guess as to how many you have awakened over the years?

I have a hard time guessing, for myself. Out of 3,000+ students--a fair number. Out of 10,000 other social contacts . . . very hard to guess . . . 5-20%? More the last 10 years as the evidence keeps "falling out of the sky" everywhere.

Have you shared all you can share therefrom?

What particular thread, mostly?

Well, I believe, that to get something done effectively and efficiently it's beneficial to go slow.
It's always, at least to me, proven to be the fastest way to accomplish anything.

I've found that hurrying through something can lead to mistakes and errors causing one to revisit what they were attempting to speed through. Or worse living with regrets over a job poorly done.

A tortoise and the hare sort of thing, I guess.

Plus, life moves fast enough as it is.

I'm enjoying hearing all the stories about people's ATS names!

I remember when I was signing up I sat there frozen at the "enter your avatar name" screen (or whatever they say - it was a long time ago).

The word "Above" was right there, of course, and it was a forum board, AND I really do try to be honest and straightforward and fair as my as my poor human self can be, so... "AboveBoard" it was. I was surprised it hadn't already been taken.

I already put my info up at the beginning of the thread, but when I went back to think on it, I remembered more...

It's kind of funny because when I did a brief stint on an ATS Radio Show, they nicknamed me "Abby" due to the AB initials (and I didn't want to use my real name). Some folks still call me that, and its sweet.

Anyway. Lovely to see everyone's cool back-stories!!

That's easy, I'm a cuckoo who was cuckolded.

a reply to: Quantum12

This was my name on World of Warcraft. It has no meaning.

I just thought it would be an inviting handle. Nothing too serious. Just playful and half-assed. Like me most of the time.

Too bad we can't have alts here as well.

There are many occasions where I would like to whip out my alter- ego.

His name is BoxbladeBob.

Geminis man, two people in one mind for a lifetime.
Mostly fun, occasionally frightening.

(I secretly think of you as Bo Duke. I don't know why. I do know he's a strong Christian, so perhaps that is what pulled that together for me... I had a crush on Bo Duke when I was twelve, but anyway, none of that is relevant. Just makes me laugh at myself!)

a reply to: AboveBoard

Thanks for your kind reply.

I have no idea who Bo Duke is. LOL.

a reply to: BO XIAN

Lol! From "The Dukes of Hazzard" TV series...



(I was twelve. What can I say?)

a reply to: AboveBoard

Ahhhh . . . My adopted sister 10 years younger liked that show.

I may have watched 3-4 episodes in my life. LOL.

Thanks.

a reply to: BO XIAN

I've personally had very few students. My teachings are esoteric or arcane. I can never really know if they were successful, sometimes they understand. Their ultimate success, which includes passing it on, may not be known until after I'm dead. Can't stop trying though. That's an interesting question, though I understand you did not direct it at me.

a reply to: Ksihkehe

Happy to read your reply.

It's probably a good thing, for many of us, that we don't know effective we were at transmitting our values. We might get too big-headed.

Thanks.
