(OT [off-topic] on alt.music.s-mclachlan only, and I
post there partly because of my previous post there quoting
Sarah McLachlan's song Into the Fire which has a line
"I am the spark".)
From a search for spark OR sparks on the http://www.gnosis.org index,
http://www.google.com/custom?q=spark+OR+sparks&hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&cof=AWFID:cd748ca91c707eb0%3BL:http://www.gnosis.org/images/GnosisArchive.gif%3BLH:100%3BLW:500%3BBGC:%23FFFFFF%3BAH:center%3B&domains=gnosis.org&sitesearch=gnosis.org&start=0&sa=N
it seems that the words spark and sparks are more common in gnostic
writings than in the King James bible and that gnostics
may equate spark and soul somewhat. This is sort of related
to my working theory of my mystic sparks as Valakhilya which
I theorize might be afterlife someones based in the sun
but that is a shaky theory so when doing some workings
I may say or think things like e.g. "Valakhilya and
afterlife someones if they are different from Valakhilya".
(Also someone once noted that the bible says somewhere
that when sparks go upward there will be trouble and
I said what about when they come downward, also that
the "go upward" could mean "go away".)
My old sparks are described in
http://www.nfld.com/~dalton/sparks.html
and my latest one, after a few year gap, in
http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&selm=d6b8511f.0311140842.5b625e70%40posting.google.com
Also from http://www.gnosis.org/naghamm/origin.html :
"And the first soul (psyche) loved Eros, who was with her, and poured her
blood upon him and upon the earth. And out of that blood the rose first
sprouted up, out of the earth, out of the thorn bush, to be a source of joy
for the light that was to appear in the bush."
and my thorns and rose experience is in
http://www.nfld.com/~dalton/sunstare.html (scroll down a bit).
Also if Dean Edwards is on the gnostic or shamanism newsgroups, then hi.
Some may find my Global Covenant... thread on talk.religion.newage
(someone illegally cancelled/censored the first post in a similar thread on
talk.religion.misc,soc.culture.jewish,alt.religion.christian.roman-catholic,alt.religion.islam
with followups set to talk.religion.misc )
to be of interest though I may improve on it during waning crescent.
Anyway, I'll glance back at the gnostic web site some more when
I have more time.

Actually cancellations are not honoured by all newsservers so it
still may be in talk.religion.misc on your newsserver, or
if you have read it before and use a newsreader that saves
temporary copies, like Free Agent, it may still show up in
your newsreader, and it is still on http://groups.google.com .
Also I have done nothing to personally try and trace the
cancellation, it would require me to learn some hacking
and that might take some time I don't have right now,
but I did mention it on alt.censorship . If you know
how to trace it and feel like letting me know then I
would owe you a pint, I guess. :-)
