Hello, friends! High Fool here!

in All Saints
Hello, everyone! I am The High Fool, or just "fool", to my friends, (you all included), Prophet of Humor, and I am finally allowed to reach out to my foolish kin! Although, as every fool eventually finds, sacred clowning can sometimes be dangerous (as evil is the fool's true enemy), and I apologize in advance for any vagueness, or what I may decide, is a necessary avoidance, as I must continue to maintain my anonymity, for my family's and my own safety. But, besides overly personal or identifying inquiries, I would love to hear any and all of your questions or comments, (whatever you want to say), whatever it may be, and will do my best to answer all questions or comments as honestly and entertainingly as I can, as well as engage in as many conversations as I can. I came to this community first, and plan to eventually branch out to a wider array of platforms when the time comes. But, for now, I place in you, my implicit, and freely offered sense of optimistic trust; that the ancient and sacred community of true clowns and fools, instills me with absolute confidence of your collective characters and intentions. I am a true believer in the divine fellowship of holy fools and sacred clowns, and proudly shine as a guiding beacon, for the cosmic Light of Humor, and the greater, All-Light of Truth. I do not ascribe to, promote, or work in any way with any religion, whatsoever. I will promote no dogma or theology specifically, and refuse to entertain engagements made with malicious intent. I will say only this, about the subject: The light that shines behind good-hearted or innocent eyes, shines, as well, inside of, all around, behind, troughout, and all within, all aspects of creation. No current belief systems, (that I am aware of, at least) are entirely correct, nor entirely incorrect. The biggest misconception I have noticed, seems to be mostly rooted in semantics; as everyone seems to want a different answer than the easy one: it doesn't matter if you call it: a soul, a heart, a conciousness, an ego or a divine spirit; its all the same thing. It doesn't matter if you call it: the all-spirit, God, the Universe, Truth; its all the same thing. And, the only thing asked of us is this: You need only, the true intent of goodness in your heart, as well as the humbility to allow yourself to appear foolish, and make mistakes; then, you need only to listen, and your heart will resonate with the harmonious and beautiful song of Truth. I will admit, however, that I do not wish to debate dogma; as I see it as a blasphemous corruption of Truth, and a malicious devouring of sacred lumination. But, I am happy to talk about the non-dogmatic, non-extremist aspects of spirituality and worship. I will admit, however, that I have a tendency to distractedly wander off into the woods. So, it may take a little bit of time for me to respond, but I will endeavor to respond to everyone as quickly as my schedule allows. So, hit me; What's good, my fanciful family of fellow fools?
(Feel free to correct my forum ettiquite, berate my grammar, or challenge my claims. But, please. Be kind, show patience, and try to open your mind to fantastical possibilities.)
May our discussions nurture community, expand understanding and foster resilience.
Laugh, for God's sake, my friends, and shine with the brilliant Light of Humor.
Evil has had all of time, and every trick in the book, from cheating to lying to outright killing.
And yet, good remains.
Funny, that.

    Welcome. HF. Will like to see where this develops.

    I like that word 'humbility'.
    As your spelling is 'humor' are you in the American side of the pond?

    Hello, gramps! Its a pleasure to meet you, and thank you for the kind welcome. Do you prefer to have the 49 included, or just gramps? I admit that I am also quite excited to see where this goes!

    Hello there, Mary Vole! And, may I say, very astute inference; I was indeed born and raised in America! Along the northern Canadian border, nestled between two great lakes, in a small snowy town, in the often unheard of, and often described as lost to time, beautiful, mysterious, Upper Peninsula of Michigan. (Home of, among other things, the record for longest fart. Or biggest, I can't exactly recall, but I believe that the record is quite contraversial and disputed) Where are you from, Mary? Do you spell it Humour? I won't lie; I don't have very hard stances on spelling (or even using real words, for that matter), but I think I genuinly, just really enjoy both versions of the word!

    Hello Boogie! Thank you for the friendly smile! Somerset, UK. Wow, that is beautifully named. Is it nice weather there? Or are you buried in snow, like me?

    Lots of flooding here on the Somerset levels, snow is very, very rare. Even frost is unusual.

    Somerset is named from the Old English "Sumorsǣte," meaning "the land of the summer people" or "settlement by lakes" Dating from Anglo Saxon settlements around 600 years ago. Now the fields are drained and used for farmland, which regularly floods.

    But today is lovely and sunny so I'll be doing outside jobs. 🙂

    Usually, if you put an @ as you begin a name, it will pop up. Tried it with your name, though and it did not happen. System probably has to catch up. Anyway, grandkids all call me Gramps, so I am ok with it.

    User names with spaces in them (like The High Fool’s and like mine) require that you type @" to begin the name, not just @. If you immediately follow the @ with "the," then you get suggestions of usernames that have a space after “the,” and you can type space-h.

    Note: For the quotation marks, you have to use the basic ", not smart quotes like ”.

    Welcome, @The High Fool!

    @The High Fool

    It works!

    Thanks @Nick Tamen

    @Nick Tamen thank you for explaining why @The High Fool did not come up immediately, though when I typed your name, it popped up just after I put in the @ and the first later of your name.

    Yeah, I’m not sure what the difference is, unless it’s the three letters of “The” versus the four letters of “Nick,” coupled with the number of names that start with “The,” some of which have no space after “The,” compared to me being (I think) the only Nick. But you’ll notice that when you choose my username, it goes into the draft with quotation marks.
