Earth SonSpirit

Men's Healing and Wholeness Through Self-Discovery





Myspace Comments


Greetings, New Member!


Welcome to Earth SonSpirit, an online network and forum on men’s healing, wholeness and well-being through self-discovery. We are happy that you have decided to join our community. It is our hope that you will find this experience to be both, informative and refreshing. To have a better understanding of our work, and what is expected of you as a member... please read the following sections below.


(When you have done this, please “click” the reply link and enter a brief comment.
This lets us know that you have read this section. Thanks!)



Mission

Earth SonSpirit is a virtual medium where members collectively and indivdually explore and pursue avenues of restoration and recovery - from the thought-forms, actions, and conditions which have perpetuated an exaggerated image and manifestation of manhood and masculinity. In turn, we promote the model of The Awakened Warrior and The Sacred Male – men, who have discovered an inner balance and nobility, and thereby seek a harmony and oneness in the outer world through service.


Policy

Earth SonSpirit is a “working environment”... a community united by a mission, endorsed and enacted upon by each member. Although certain groups are closed to general membership due to mission specifics, the community is open to men and women who have an interest in our work.


As a policy, members:

  • Are invited to actively participate in the livelihood of community, with pertinent/appropriate comments and contributions (i.e. blog/forum posts and replies, membership to subgroups and showing courtesy and support to fellow members).
  • Are invited to promote the work of ESS in their daily walk, and personal sphere of influence.
  • Are subject to “the social graces of common courtesy”, and are expected to refrain from words and actions in this community - that are not empowering, and uplifting in nature.
  • Without “visible” activity for a period of 30 days or more, will be subject to “administrative removal”, without notice.


Getting Started

There are 5 basic things that new members should consider, that will assist them in getting them off to a good start:

  • Read and reply to this welcome notice
  • Organize your profile page.
  • Visit each member's profile page, introduce yourself on their comment wall, and request friendship (... to be listed among their friends).
  • Join the group called, “The Medicine Hut” - and any other group that is open to membership.
  • Read and reply on posted blogs/discussions. In time, post your own blog/discussion.


How To Organize Your Profile Page

The “My Page” area is your profile page. This page is about you, and should reflect your energy in the structure and presentation of page content.

Upload your photo – people love to see visually, who are the members of the community. It is suggested that you upload an actual photo of yourself, or an avatar (a graphic picture of something or a character that represents you).

Change the theme – in the left column under your photo, there's an area which says, “Change My Photo or Theme”. Click the link which says “theme”... and you'll be taken to a section which allows you select different layouts and color schemes. Follow the instructions.

Organize your page layout – with your mouse, place the cursor on a selected box area... click, hold (the button) and drag the box area to another location. Arrange the box areas in a manner that is attractive to the eye.

Select appropriate applications (wigets) – in the left column under your photo, there's an area which says, ”Add Applications”. Click this link... and you'll be taken to a section which list available “widgets” that may be added to your profile page. A widget is an interactive software program which operates in a specified boxed area on a webpage (i.e. music player, time, moon phase, etc.) Follow the instructions, experiment, and select appropriate widgets. Don't over indulge... too many wigets could distract from the positive energy of your page.


Tools

The following are additional resources:

  • HTML Code – many posting areas are responsive to html codes... they include: text box, blog entries, discussion entries, and comment wall. Some of the popular “tags” that I use are: centering, new paragraph, break, table, and bullets (or list). These allow for the proper and elegant spacing of a text or graphics. A tutorial on html can be found at the following link: http://www.htmlcodetutorial.com/
  • Additional Widgets – the web is full of many web applications which allow special interactive programs to be placed on your website. Just do a search on the web for “widgets”. You'll be surprised of what you may find. Just be sure that it's not a “dashboard” or “download” widget... these widgets run separately on the computer, and usually appear on the desktop area.
  • Comment graphics – the text entries you make can be enhanced with specialize “comment graphics”. Just copy the “embed code” and paste it in the text area with your comments. Also you can used some of my favorite html tags to sharpen the presentation. Here are the links where some outstanding comment graphics may be found (other sites can be located by searching):
    • http://www.alliekatzgraphics.com/
    • http://bpimped.com/
    • http://www.tucmuc.org/
    • http://www.spicecomments.com/
    • http://www.sevengeeks.com/
    • http://www.satisfaction.com/
    • http://redworkscreations.com/graphics/
  • Online music player - this is one of the best kept secrets of website online music – http://playlist.com This website allows you to build a playlist of music from its database of artists and songs. You can create a web player of your favorite artists and songs – that can be embedded on your profile page. As you visit the members and groups of this community, you will see and hear how this widget has been used.



Well, that's it! This is enough to get you started.



I hope this has been helpful in aiding you as a new member of Earth SonSpirit. Expectations are set high for the work that we do. As you expect much of us, we also expect much of you.


Let us know, if we can assist you with any of the above areas.


As you close out, remember to “reply” to this discussion.





With One Breath,

Sadakael
