New user Posts: 3 | I am new to the forum. I was looking at the forum and it seems that only a handful of students use it. What is your experience with the forum? Thanks. --Purple Heart | ||

PhD Alumni Posts: 4414 ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Location: United Kingdom | Hello and welcome Purple Heart When I was studying the UMS materials I never went on the Board, never seemed to prioritise the time; it was only after I gave it more attention; though we are all students and always will be, I think I know less now than I ever did! Hope you enoy the dialogues and debates here; been a bit quiet lately, but Aquarius, Disa, Jill and Marty are nicely around and sometimes Z and O drop in too All the best to you and good luck in your studies Paul | ||

UMS Guest Posts: 1938 ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Location: United Kingdom | Beautiful Things Knowing that beautiful things are right and true, And that beautiful actions please God, Helps wise ones to develop their inward sense of What is right, true and beautiful. The highest wisdom is to trust One’s intuition and to follow its guidance, For the answer to the last appeal of what is right or wrong Lies within everybody’s own heart. So, trust thyself. Aristotle 384-322 BC Edited by Aquarius From ‘Words & Prayers For Friendship Healing’ * * * | ||

PhD Alumni Posts: 4414 ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Location: United Kingdom | Hello Aquarius Reminds me of Keats, something about: Beauty is truth and truth is beauty That's all ye know on earth and all ye need to know of Heaven [from memory so might not be quite right ...!] I suspect Keats would know his Aristotle too ...! Love Paul | ||

UMS Guest Posts: 1938 ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Location: United Kingdom | I am always delighted when I can learn something new. A day without some kind of learning, without somehow growing in wisdom and understanding, to me is a wasted one. With love - Aquarius * * * | ||

Dear Paul. Nothing wrong with your memory and thank you for sharing this quote with us. Here is the whole poem:

PhD Alumni Posts: 4414 ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Location: United Kingdom | Dear Aquarius Thank you - I must have added the 'of Heaven' as a kind of wish fulfillment ... Some great lines therein, especially resonant for me is first line in second verse: Heard melodies are sweet, but those unheard Are sweeter..... Love and light Paul | ||

Alumni Posts: 533 ![]() ![]() | Hi, Purple Heart. Nice to have you here. I can't answer for where "all the students are", but I'm not sure they all even know about the forum. My experience with the forum is you get out of it what you put into it. If you have questions, please post. It can get lonely doing independent studies and we are here to help if needed, or to offer encouragement. I happen to love forums- they are streamlined and usually easy to follow. I suppose most people love the cluttery and overwhelming look of Facebook. For reading, writing, and studying, I think Forums are great. | ||

New user Posts: 1 Location: Ohio | Hi, Purple Heart! I'm a new student, too, and haven't started using the forum yet (other than right now, I guess!), mainly for the same reason you pointed out, that there isn't much going on here! I did come to the forum as a guest before I enrolled to ask current and alumni students about the school, and everyone was really nice and helpful, so I know the few people who *are* here are great! ~Inanna | ||

Forum Administrator Posts: 462 ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | (Belated) Welcome Purple Heart and Inanna ... Yes the Board has quiet times, but it is also dependent on those of us posting to make it what it is as we go forward. Though you could also do a search of past, or older, threads, as there have been very lively debates on fascinating topics before now, and anyone is free to add to them - which will bring them up to date. Blessings Ophiucus | ||

Forum Administrator Posts: 462 ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | Dear Purple Heart and Inanna I have added both of you to the Student Discussion area of the Board, so that should give you access to more student-type discussions and threads, present and past. Hope that helps Good wishes Ophiucus | ||

Alumni Posts: 533 ![]() ![]() | Hi, Inanna. Good to see you here. Remember you guys can start threads and ask a question if you'd like us to chime in on something along the way of your studies. You may find a lot of what you need in the student area. | ||

PhD Alumni Posts: 1882 ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Location: NE Ohio | The forum in all honesty used to be booming years ago. But seems other social media is more popular because of the instant communication. I do use many of these apps. I do find myself coming back around also to check up and see if some interesting topics arise. This is a great place to ask questions too. You will most likely gain several sides of knowledge with great points. Welcome all new students~ | ||
