TL;DR: EricT (who sometimes writes under the nom de plumes Etienne de L'Amour and H. M. Forester) should have followed his heart and definitely not studied corporate administration at college.
A sadly misguided rebel and hippie in his youth, and late developer who fell through the cracks, EricT was interested in environmentalism, pacifism, vegetarianism, Buddhism, Zen, meditation and various esoteric traditions prior to his involvement in the Sufi Way. He has been studying the works of the thinker, writer and Sufi teacher Idries Shah since 1986. He is also interested in both traditional and contemporary Western depth psychology. More recent interests include philosopher Henry Corbin's mundus imaginalis (imaginal world) and Western esotericism.
Since around 1999 he has hosted and maintained online discussion groups, latterly The Caravanserai and the ishraqi institute, and hosts and maintains a writing-related web server at sherpoint.uk ("sherpoint" being an anagram of "the prison").
It saddens me that all-too-often, wonderful people are not found to be "wikiworthy" until obituaries are published in the press, and their notable – and often remarkable – qualities, not just their worldly attainments, are finally revealed to the public.
Etienne's hugely unsuccessful e-novels include: Thank You, I Understand; The Lost Treasure of Roth Nagor; The Insiders: Exploring the higher realms of possibility; Escape from the Shadowlands; In Search of Destiny; The Lucian Uprising; Time and Time again; The Gift; The Host and the Guests, and Whisperings of Love.
H. M. Forester's paltry offerings include The Dissidents; Game of Aeons; Secret Friends: The Ramblings of a Madman in Search of a Soul, The Imaginal Veil, and The Scent of Reality.

I felt this was a particularly gracious and polite way to bow out of an AfD discussion; would that all participants were so thoughtful. Yunshui雲水 09:09, 21 September 2012 (UTC)

On June 29, 2010, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Gregory Berns, which you created or substantially expanded. You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check ) and add it to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000.
