"O, that this too too solid flesh would melt Thaw and resolve itself into a dew!"
Over the years I have enjoyed speaking and interacting with many of you. Not all of you, but most of you. ;-)
We have had many rich conversations. Hundreds of hours of inquiry and investigation. And I imagine it will continue to some degree and with some of you.
If anything I have ever written has been meaningful to you, helpful to you, first of all, I am humbled. Second, if you would like to have those conversations for your own future reference, you may want to capture them in your own way, and rather quickly. As in the next 10 days, quickly.
If I can find a simple way of saving all the posts and all the comments, I will do so. But I may not be able.
I have decided to let the hosting for this website lapse. It is simply too expensive. There are cheaper alternatives out there, but instead of pushing everything over to a new host, I'll just start over. Anew.
This transition will take some time. And when I return, I won't be the man you remember. Who is, really? But I have and will continue to love you all, regardless of whatever may happen.
Sometimes you need to have a controlled burn in order for new things to grow. And I have been immolated.
For those of you still in the spiritual teaching trade, I'll stop in from time to time. You've been my brothers and sisters and I will keep in touch.
I will be back, in some form or other. But don't wait up for me. I like to slowly stroll through fields of flowers when the moon is high. I might be some time.
With Love...

Hi Takuin Understood.
In your Dashboard under Tools is an Export option. Just choose to export everything and it will bring Posts, comments, etc all into a modest file. Then you have the option of importing that to another WP installation. Or starting fresh. You also then have a backup of the old site, in any case.
I migrated myself a couple of years ago.
This process doesn't export images though. Those are transferred as a process after you import the above to a new site. If the old site is then gone, it's not an option. However, it's not a big deal to download your media files or perhaps you have a folder of them on your computer.
You can also import into a free Wordpress.com site though your customization options are much more limited - mostly the capacity of the theme. You can arrange to have your domain point to this site though. And can't sell anything. But hosting is free. I still have on blog on free.
Well that rendered most of this post irrelevant, haha. Thanks, Davidya.
About 2 hours after I wrote this, I found the export option. I am still going with the new, however.
