That is the question. Isaiah, Isaac, Isab was born in Indiana, (I've seen his name spelled three different ways with same wife, family and matching dates) but I don't think he was born in Greene County,Bloomfield, Indiana. I have not found any Rhodes in Greene county in the 1840 census. The problem is that I don't have access to any birth records before 1880 and the census records before 1850 only show the head of household. There will be plenty of similar look-a-like candidates but it will be difficult to whittle them down. He was possibly born in a neighboring county, but it could also have been the other end of the state.Hoping you can help

Just saw the movie V for Vendetta last weekend in which the hero tries to blow up the English Parliament as a symbolic act to bring about change in the fascist government in his country(it's no surprise he gives it away in the beginning)in honour of Guy Fawkes. Since we are slipping into racial hatred and big brother law it has led me to ask: What historical feat would you be willing to undertake to bring change to society? please be as specific as possible

the arabic phrase, meaning "O Guide!" can produce spiritual experiences which are closely paralleled to Jesus' words about the Spirit of Truth in John 7-15, and in the writings of Idries Shah ,concerning the awakening of subtle centers of power in the body,{arabic: lataif} in the form of a cosmic cross: right and left breasts, forehead and navel. This is accompanied by hearing the inner sound{the OM, the Shabda, etc.} and hearing the word Hoo! in the ether of the outside world. It is apparently the organ of guidance in its purest form, and these experiences are similarly reported in other traditions, such as in the Don Juan books, and some writings of early Christians, etc., etc. The implicit meaning is that one's world is shattered,i.e. ones ego-constructs, and is subjected to the transforming effect of this higher, essentialized root of one's self. This all seems to correspond to the lore concerning the mysteries of the unpronouncable name of God,YHVH. Anyone care to comment?

I believe we are at a point where we are realized the truth and will no long have a need for computers but that lack of need will make us masters of them not the other way around as some might have you believe.
