alt.life.itself FAQ
 
1. What is the topic of this group?

There is no real topic per se. This group was created for the discussion
of this life free of anything at all. This means being free of any
systems such as religion and philosophy, and explaining ones experience
and "knowledge" in ones own words.
The idea of this group is to leave behind belief, thought and any
"secondhand" knowledge and to communicate the real and raw experience of
this life. This involves the transcending of terminology, systems,
tradition so as to see things as they are. Direct communion or
communication with "reality" has been called mysticism in the past, but
something more real and everyday is required.

2. What is appropriate material to post to this group?

Any thing at all; thoughts, essays, problems, experiences, extracts of
writing, favourite web sites, movies, transcripts of IRC/email etc.
There is no boundaries constraining the exact content of your posts.
   
3. What is not encouraged on this group?

Usenet is a reflection of those who use it. There is no all that much
