In the physical realms, look for *twinkles* in the eyes, coupled with an engaging grin. ;-D

In the cyber-world, look for evidence, in wording, that people live most their time "outside-the-box" yet come from a compassionate heart- space. Appreciation of all things... great and small... is not something that can be faked.

Face to face, it's in the eyes. Kind of mildly amused by the foolish play of the self proclaimed wise ones.

Cyber, it's hard to say. I hung out on TB2000000 and dc-y2k for months, no one (that I know of) ever spotted me, though I spotted a few - but neither of you.

Also, I guess the crystal pendants and the pentagram nose ring would be clues.....

Gulp, Ken.

Have never worn a pentagram nose ring. How would you recognize me then?

Questions to ask.

.....ummmm.....maybe "sacredspaces" resonates with my quantum- crippled condesates?

I think that carefully dried quantum-crippled condensates end up chaining into pentagramic nose and navel rings...

But I've never seen either...

'Course up here in Canada we keep both our noses and navels covered in the winter season. Hey Ken - are the nose rings a recent fad?

Oh, relatively recent among those who want to think they are something special, and shock their authority figures at the same time...

But really, not to be flip, how do you recognize a seeker? Honestly, I've found more than a few, but most will only seek to a certain point, usually to the point they can willfully reject the religion of their ancestors, or to the point they feel they know more than their peers (which ain't that terribly difficult, bubba).

But in the larger sense, the seeking goes much farther than that. There's the why of it all, the original point of it all... and the question of afterlife, a soul, the dealing with the possibility that when our life is over, it's a slow fade to black... Somehow most folk just don't want to face up to these possibilities....
