Membership And More...
This site uses a classification system as a means to establish a common basis within which we may come together peacefully, amicably and without pride, prejudice and all the rest of our mind-made trappings and pitfalls. Classification systems inherently create separation which, of course, can do nothing but further solidify our differences.
Truth is not found in separation, in teachings, knowledge or wordly experience. Truth is as it is, nothing more and nothing less.
The classification system used here is merely an administrative function and nothing more.

Moderation of Posts and Comments
Guests, as a User Group have no moderation permissions.
A Member can moderate (edit or delete) the replies and comments of Guests and Members made to their post.
An Administrative Member can moderate the posts, replies and comments of Members as well as all comments made by Guests.
When a Member makes a new post in the "Dialogue" section, they automatically become the Moderator of that topic which enables them to moderate all attached comments and replies made by the Guests and Members.
Moderation of posts and comments are laid out so as to allow each and every Member the full responsibilty of keeping their posts on track and on purpose.
Archiving of Posts and Comments
Posts and comments may be archived or dropped away after a period of time. Sometimes, comments may be merged into the originating post after a time or perhaps moved to a more permanent section of the site. Please do not expect that the posts and/or comments made to this site will be kept in perpetuity. There already exists a huge amount of writings which point the way to Ourselves, this web site has no need to accumulate, refresh, modernize nor expound upon any of that. All we need do is to realize what is already there, and then there is no need at all, for anything.
Visitor Tracking Information
There is no interest here in tracking visitors, and their actions. Unfortunately, the web host requires bandwidth tracking for billing purposes and this in turn requires system logging to be activated. Although the system log is deleted on an irregular basis, it remains activated.
Also, the web site software has the capability of tracking visitors and their actions in two ways.
1) Cookies: Cookies are small bits of information which the web site sends out and stores on the visitor's computers. The cookies that are used do not contain any sensitive data and are only used to adjust the web site per the previously discussed "User Groups".
2) Audit Log: This web site does have the capability of tracking all visitor actions. When this is activated, it is used as a software development tool and at the rare times that it may, if ever, become necessary, as a way of determining problematic visitor behaviour.
Personal Information
An e-mail address is required when signing up for a new account, but can be 'hidden' as an option. A real name is not required although this tends to lead to a greater certainty of the member's intention.
The Role of Administrator
Behind this web site an Administrator attends to various duties and such but please do not rely upon the Administrator for answers, "help", or assistance in coming to terms with one's own Self. The Administrator is here but is not.
Perhaps the Administrator's role can best be said by this: " Don't look here, the answer already lies within."
There is no personality here which will be of benefit to anyone.
