		<description>I can&#039;t agree more! I did it! I am the Michael to which you refer! Sad thing is, I knew I was doing it at the time and couldn&#039;t stop!. You&#039;ll never understand what I was processing in my mind during the &quot;time.&quot; I don&#039;t worry anymore. You are right - &quot;do unto yourself...&quot; You taught me more than you will ever know!  One day - as you mentioned in one of your &quot;other&quot; texts written, friendship may be an option. Note: I have a book in the works &quot;A Confession Unto Myself&quot; - guess who is one of the premire characters?</description>

		<description>I could tell by the beautiful way they flow that you have not been rewriting or using multiple drafts.   Your posts have all the hallmarks of writing that comes from Inspiration.  This is a gift that not many people possess, and it shows in what you write.</description>

		<description>when i sit down, yes, i generally have a topic in mind; however, for these entries, i don&#039;t work from a formal structure/template/outline. i have to the idea i want to work with, and i simply type. i try to edit my thoughts as little as possible - the final postings that you read are therefore polished first versions. i get everything out of my head, then i go back with a fine tooth comb and look for typos, incomplete/incoherent phrases, and repeated words. i have not yet rewritten an entry. what you see is just a proofread version of the original - there aren&#039;t multiple drafts or anything like that. yes, there are times i can&#039;t keep up with my thoughts, but generally they are born quickly, one word or phrase at a time. i&#039;m glad you enjoy them, and i hope you&#039;ll post on other entries as well. right now it&#039;s enough to channel me, so i&#039;m not sure up for channelling anyone else right now! LOL</description>

		<description>Devon, as you know,  I have recently discovered your blog and I have been going through and reading many of your posts.  I would like to ask you a question.....when you sit down to type, do you feel immersed inside a &quot;block&quot; of information that is just begging to be put into print?  Do you feel excitement at the prospect of relaying this information, and excitement at the help you know it will bring to people?  Do your fingers fly across the keyboard, almost unable to keep pace with the information that is coming through?  When I spoke to you in person I mentioned that it was very obvious to me that you have an extremely clear channel of reception to Spirit or Energy or whatever you want to call it.  Your written works seem as though you are actually channeling your Higher Self.  The average person may be able to create a few of these posts in a lifetime, but you regularly pump out very long posts that are brilliantly organized and perfectly explained, and targeted for a specific audience.   Have you also noticed that people are drawn to find your blog in strange ways?  (I certainly was!  I had never met you...I found your blog by Googling &quot;Gay Dwarf Atlanta!&quot;)  Not long after I discovered that I was channeling my own Higher Self, a psychic friend of mine informed me that I could also channel the Higher Selves of other people.  She told me to try it.  I was able to get information that I never would have thought of...I was even able to have, in my mind, a conversation with a guy who, for some reason, couldn&#039;t speak to me in person.  A few years ago, when I was still passing for &quot;hot,&quot; there was a guy at the gym who could never speak to me.  If I said &quot;hello&quot; he would look panicked and say &quot;hmorlph!&quot;  And he would never speak.  He was a beautiful gay man who was married with two children and had fooled most people into thinking he was straight.  (Big long story about how I know this.)   Anyway, &quot;Why can&#039;t you talk to me?&quot; I asked when I was channeling him.   And then I heard him say, &quot;There are two reasons why I can&#039;t talk to you.  The first reason is that I am terrified of finding out that you do not like me as much as I like you.&quot;    After a pause I asked, &quot;What is the second reason?&quot;  And he said, &quot;The second reason is that I am terrified of finding out that you DO like me as much as I like you, and therefore I cannot speak to you at all.&quot;    I was astounded, because I never would have thought of that myself!  (and I DID like him waaay too much!) A good test of whether you are really receiving information from channeling and not just making it up is when you get information that surprises you.  Now, I&#039;m not saying you should start channeling, but I am convinced that you have such a clear connection that you CAN if you want to.  Your posts truly do have an amazing quality to them, and I predict that you will have a wide audience for them.  I&#039;m ecstatic because I have found a new little place to look each day (your blog) for free &quot;goodies!&quot;</description>

		<description>I followed the Link you gave Devon.  Thank you.  You continue to inspire me.  No, not to go into dancing, lol.  No, I mean to look into the mirror.  The last 12 mos. have been tectonic for me.  If you listen closely, you can hear your own wisdom and teach yourself a LOT about yourself.  I sure am beginning to.  Peace.......</description>

		<description>&quot;With that truth then comes this one: I love people, but I do not have to sacrifice everything in myself for them. If I give until my wings are tattered, that’s my choice, but I can choose more carefully to whom I give. Also, I will give because it feels good to me to do so, not because I am trying to fix the recipient. I feel the need to reiterate Devon’s Platinum Rule: Do unto yourself as you would have others do unto you.&quot;

Bears repeating.
