"If it turns out that I've been wrong all along, and there is in fact a god, and if it further turned out that this kind of legalistic, cross-your-fingers-behind-your-back, Clintonian hairsplitting impressed him, then I think I would choose not to worship him anyway". -Douglas Adams about being an agnostic

Is this not what RB says?? (in so many words) Basically, believe in yourself. Lesson learned Shrug......believe in what your inner self tells you is true...what your own experiences have told you is true. The old saying from Missiouri......"show me".....yup. Just don't believe that you were 'snookered in"....really, it was a truth for you until, for you, proved false. Throw a rag on the "spilled milk" and walk on. It sounds as if you have your own truth very well known to yourself already. Maybe it was good, as you mentioned earlier, to walk for a time with someone that seemed to feel and think as you.....comforting...... Kinda like stubbing your toe when found to be false, to you??? As I said before, I wish you peace with it. Also would like to invite you to stick around and join up....in your words am seeing a very knowledgable soul, would like to share/learn......invitation is extended. JTwolf

Well I have a lot of thoughts on the way the universe works. I am currently compiling notes for a book I hope to write which will be called "The Honeycomb Universe Theorem" However, this being an RB board specifically, I do not feel it is appropriate topic matter here. Perhaps I will find a board somewhere which is more suitable and discuss it there. If I find a place that meets my needs, I will drop in here and let you know.

I dont know if this helps any. Richard said at his Colorado Seminar that he is a private person. But he did elaborare a little about his divorce. And basically what he said was. His first wife was very active with war protests and many different activities and she put an extreme amount of energy in everything that she did. And with all the stuff with Richard life, seminars writings, promotions, etc. etc.... She told him she was tired and wanted to relax and enjoy life. She asked him if he could do the same, he said that he had to much to say and write and wanted to do. So he understood and that is why they chose different paths. But he said she is very happy and that he totaly understood.

That's a bit like the impression I got from his own "official inofficial explanation". I absolutely do not want to judge on something that I know nothing about / is none of my business, but I couldn't help but wonder: could Leslie Parrish be so busy with her own life that she doesn't have any room for Richard Bach's life and doings? BTW, she was his second wife.

I don't know any of you, and I don't idolize Mr. Bach. I did, however, read The Bridge Across Forever just about the time I met my own soul-forever-mate. That has been over 20 years ago, now. All I feel is a sense of something glorious, something beautiful and deep and real that eluded Richard's grasp. I feel a sense of sadness for the man. It is unfortunate that their marriage ended. I don't know the wherefores and the whys of how that ending came to be, all I feel is that one day, however far away that may be, he will regret his decision to leave with his whole soul. As for Leslie, I feel that she will continue to grow in wisdom and beauty, and that one day she will be blessed to meet someone deserving of her.

Commentator, in armchair, secure, smug, self-righteous, says:
That is exactly it! We don't know the wherefores and the whys!
It is none of our business!
Should Richard choose to disclose his process, maybe we would understand.
Should Richard and Leslie choose to discuss their process with us, then maybe we would understand.
However, this is t(he)ir process, which is private, and unfortunately, we just don't seem to understand that.
So, we sit in our lofty positions, judging him/her, and don't have a clue as to the reality of the situation! Nor should we!
How dare we!
Would you like us to take a look at the color of your underwear, and even though to you it may seem pristine and clean; to us it is filthy dirty?
Certainly, and hopefully so, all parties involved don't pay any heed to the cavilings of this location.

I do not think that it is any of my business why their union ended. I do know that if the story in his book was true, if it really happened the way that he wrote it, then it is indeed sad to me that it ended.
When an individual puts a relationship out there in such a public forum, such as writing a book, actually two books if you consider One, then readers have the priviledge of giving an opinion on the book. The entire premise of the book was of Mr. Bach finding his one right and true forever soulmate. That relationship did not last. I am sad.
