Clearing some misperceptions
It has come to my attention that some people have some misperceptions about me and my beloved Twin Ray Eve. This is to clear up those misperceptions. Before I do, though, I want everyone to know that neither of us have taken offense to any of them, so there has been no harm and no foul on anyone's part. We love you all and embrace you as the beautiful beings you are. First, and the most common misperception *I* have been exposed to, both here and elsewhere - my gender. I am male. Thank you, parents, for giving me the feminine "ie" at the end of my nickname. I love you and pray for your enlightenment on the understanding of the spelling of names in your next lives. Balance is important. IMO, being out of balance is a big source of the myriad of "little" problems the world faces today (spousal abuse, child abuse, divorce, etc.). If one is too far into one aspect (i.e., men into their male ego), then understanding of the other aspect (i.e., women) is diminished. Without that understanding, compassion and empathy are reduced. When one has little or no compassion and empathy, then arguments arise. I saw it in my parents and in the parents of the kids I grew up with. For that reason, I have worked very hard to minimize my "male ego" aspect and to bring my feminine aspect forward for a wholistic balance of the two. Second, now that I've established my gender, no, Eve and I are *not* in a lesbian relationship. We have no bias against or for such relationships, please note that. But ours is the typical heterosexual one, if you can call our togetherness typical. If you knew the depths of it, you would dispute my use of the word "typical". Finally, Ray, my twin. I have no brothers, nor sisters for that matter. I'm an only child and likely about as much as my parents could handle. Please note the capitalization and punctuation in my profile. It says "... my Twin Ray, Eve...", not "... my twin, Ray, and Eve". Twin Ray is a concept that represents the ultimate union - two souls created from the same devine spark. That is to say, we were one in the beginning, similar to a beam of light split into two beams by a prism. If you knew our details, you would understand. We have far too many shared identical characteristics in all four aspects (physical, mental, emotional, spiritual) for chance. So there you have it, the whole explanation. I hope nobody feels embarrassed or bothered if they were mistaken. There is a lot of little potholes to trip on, the biggest, I feel, being the spelling of my name. Know that if you were mistaken about anything, you are in very good company, for I have great respect for those who have actually questioned me on this, both before and after their enquiry. Blessings to all.Shevie

You are too cute- and yes, I was one of the confused ones. I had thought since I fist joined DS that you had a twin brother named Ray. I didn\'t question it until Eve\'s profile said she had a twin Ray too!!!! Then I was confused cause I really didn\'t think you\'d be in an incestuos relationship!!!! LOL. I always learn something new from you Shevie- and I never thought you were female!!!! Cause I saw that that photo of you on the drums and you looked very Male to me... haha....
Gosh, I got a good laugh reading this as I was one of those that thought you were too enlightened to be male. I usually don\'t look at pictures unless someone asks me to as I am very busy responding to people. It wasn\'t the spelling of your name, I think it is a beautiful, unique name. Mistaking you for a female helps me to understand how bad assumptions are. Thank you for writing this as I did get a chuckle today, I\'m still smiling.
well i certainly knew you were male!!!! LMAO...i just thought you had a twin named ray too..haha!!!! it wasnt until eve joined and i saw the same thing written on her profile that i got what \"twin ray\" meant..LOL you explained yourself so eloquently..haha. im glad to know what twin ray means now.

Always a pleasure to know you a bit better....I knew you were a man and I knew the Twin Ray was a Spiritual connection between you and Eve....and smart? You two rock on my lovlys.....((((HUGS))))
Laughing, frowning, worrying. Shevie: I knew you were a male. I knew Eve was a female. I knew you
were a \"couple\"; as in partner in life; in love; etc.
I knew that TWIN RAY stood for twins in finding your other half; or your true soulmate. I do apologize for not knowing the \"actual difinition\" of Twin Ray;
but I got the gist of it. Do I win any prizes? OR;
have I been a dumb ass and screwed it all up again?
