Your screen name

I've always been curious about the stories behind all the screen names here on CR. Please explain what your screen name refers to/what inspired it here.

I'll get us started.

Well, its obviously a star trek reference. It makes me look like a complete Trekkie, but I'm really not. (not that there's anything wrong with being a Trekkie) I guess you could say I used to be one since I used to watch reruns of the next generation all the time. Haven't watched any trek in a while, but its still a good show.

Re: Your screen name

I could never commit for long to any one spiritual "path," although I've been interested in and practicing different forms of spirituality for about a decade now--sometimes intensely. Also, I don't feel that people are very often served well by taking a traditional, laid-out spiritual path. Or that's been my personal experience, at the very least. That's why I'm Pathless.

Re: Your screen name

I've chosen to be on my own path, rather than any single church or religion. My religion/s and path are what resonate with my spiritual experience, rather than my spiritual experience following a single major religion. So, it's one person's path.

My path is also a path toward oneness, connectedness, wholeness- Love- which is for me, God: the One Big Mystery, the One Foundation of Being.

So, I'm path_of_one.

Re: Your screen name

Mine is my first name followed by a "double translation" of my first and middle names. I'm kind of a "name nerd" and a "language freak".

Re: Your screen name

Mine stems from frustration trying to log into a website when I was a newbie to computers and the internet. I kept trying to fight the demand for a numerical digit, "I'm not a number!" But I couldn't get the silly thing to take any of my *regular* nicknames. So I gave this one a shot and it took.

Somewhere around here, buried so deep I don't remember where, is another thread like this one...

Hey Alex, I remember when you used to go by a different moniker around here. You never did get around to telling us where "17th Angel" came from. Would you be so kind now?

Oh, oh, may I guess?
I'll write my guess in white below so it will be hidden:

{Revelation 17, especially Rev 17:17}

Am I close?

There are many seattlegals about!
I'm usually not in the city of Seattle itself, but if you are ever in the area, I'd be more than happy to buy you a coffee, greymare.
{Maybe we might get path_of_one to join us?}
