I spent 1 1/2 months in the Mountains of Montana on a Vision Quest and Fasting Rite and I was a changed man after the time. Also another notable Outdoor Experience I had is when I went to Self-Initiate myself in the Forests here in Southern Illinois. I spent three days and three nights in the forests with only the cloths on my back. No fire, no sleeping bag, and no bug spray. The effect of this was to cleanse the conditioned mind and body to surpass its limitations. I succeeded in my Self-Initiation and have through those experiences felt a kinship with the Cycles of Nature, of Morning, Noon, Evening and Night, as of Birth, Maturity, Old Age, and Transition to the Next Life. Thanks you for bringing this poll to us, it reminded me of some Life Changing Experiences with the Earth Mother. Respectfully, Helel (Joseph) -------------------- Aude est Facere - To Dare Is To Do
