LiminaL I've never given importance to the fact of keeping my original culture alive, on the contrary I've always been thinking that it was impossible for it to move away from the first position in my way of thinking etc. Since I thought it stands at the base of me...

LiminaL @LiminaL (164) • Italy 23 Mar 07

Alongo these years of university, I've been into serious troubles and proccupations because of the lack of organization and coherence in my university system. I've just found out some more right a minute ago... Any bad experience...

LiminaL @LiminaL (164) • Italy 5 Mar 07

just a question...don't arguments posted count in terms of numbers? I've noticed that my posts number, closed to my name, grows only if I post in someone else's discussion, but it doesn't change if I actually start a discussion my...

how much freedom can you sacrifice in order to reach something you wont?

LiminaL @LiminaL (164) • Italy 25 Feb 07

I really have a number of interests and aspirations, but it's not hard to realize that, in order to get closer to satisfaction in any of them, I have to work a lot and be extremely focused and continuous. But the importance of the...

LiminaL what an expertise ! I will check out that link. Anyway, being safe with smoke of any sort is always a kind of half safeness, since it's never too good for lunghs and the rest. But, despite of this, I think It's worth it for me -from time to time- if it brings...

LiminaL very good chances that It's toxic, I've already been sniffing it or tasting it...But a number of years ago. Now I don't have intentions to do such things. The only point is that I still feel a little desire of "appropriation" for that smoke, which I like so...

LiminaL very interesting! I suppose you know where to go and where to ask. As far as I know it's pretty rare to find serious spiritualists (at least that's what I can say about Italy-where I've been living the most of my life).I personally wouldn't search for...

LiminaL I consider that The Bible is the "product" of a particular glance given by humans on themselves, and of a particular reception of what human and society is. I belive in its holiness, but not as an exclusive and superior one. I would rather pay more...
