School

Every class we have our first assignment be “write your autobiography” which is an easy first day thing.  However it happens every 5 weeks and I have better things to do than recount some biblical like progression of begats and what I do in my freetime.  I thought I had written a fairly generic but informative canned bio, as written below.

Henry “Hank” Kuhfeldt
Hank Kuhfeldt is a Michigan native transplanted to the Mid-Atlantic region that developed a hunger for learning at a fairly young age. This does not mean he had stellar grades but was always curious and willing to learn. He can be said to have many preferred subjects in which he delights in chasing down obscure references and discussing in factual and hypothetical contexts. These subjects tend to lie toward practical philosophy, history, and the Western Hermetic Mysteries. His love of learning has led him to many different sets of skills, from information technology to logging and land management. He enjoys a challenge and feels that there really is little he cannot learn to do at least an average skill level. (Everyone has limitations.)
Hank’s first brush with the visual arts was growing up as a child of a photographer. He got his first camera at 10 and has had one ever since. In some ways he loathes the death of film and darkroom in photography, only because it was skill based work and required knowledge and patience to make it work. Later, he studied printing and pre-press production as a high school elective. There he excelled and created his own final exam, which while advised against it, completed successfully and received top marks for. Once computer technology became more affordable and the internet was prevalent, he graduated to building websites and designing graphics for them. In 2008 he returned to school with the goal of acquiring a degree in design in order to pursue a career that was creative and challenging.
Hank is not, however, all work and no play. He enjoys activities such as swimming, exploring new places and playing games. He is active in his fraternal order’s lodge government and writes interactive theatre/LARP on occasion.
Hank currently lives in Northern Virginia, minutes away from Washington, DC with his domestic partner their dogs, cat and corn snake.

Apparently, I forgot about the Fundies who need to make EVERYTHING about proselytizing (and themselves!)

Hey Henry, I was went down the path of mysticism, I ended up in Jail though, praise God. It saved me from making many spiritual mistakes, Mysticism is intriguing because it gives the weak the feel of strength and it is a great tool for mass deception.

It is interesting that you use to due logging since our text(Atlas of Human Anatomy), refers to men much like logs, which is symmetrical to the philosophy of Kabala and other mystery religions. Due you homework, and tell me what you get from this. I have the light and am not afraid to share it , in Jesus name.

Hm.  Well, if you would like to open that can of worms…  I mean he went to WIKIPEDIA for crying out loud!  He must mean Business!

You could place me in the general category of ‘spiritual humanism’, or Classical Gnosticism. I have spent enough time amongst the different spiritual practices of the world to feel that without dogma, they would perform their functions much better. As far as Freemasonry goes, it is a spiritual fraternal order that actually leaves the individual spirituality to be the responsibility of the individual and their community, which is as it should be.

I find truth to be an unwise word to use in matters of spirituality and emotion, mainly because it implies everything else is a lie and not just the truth as someone else knows it. It discounts the personal knowledge and growth of the individual on a spiritual level as well as those who we could learn from.

So far there has been no reply.
