I think I understand what you are saying. And I already know that you know the following. But just as a friendly reminder...I just want to throw out here, that the forum is going to change and grow if you accept new members. But feeling the energy of the place change is inevitable, and change is most often uncomfortable. Yes, people are discussing things in head space. But...for many people, the opening up to more than the reality we see begins with discussing the reality we see. I get that you wouldn't want EE to become a cc of any forum that has endless threads of looping circular mental arguments that lead nowhere. But I bet you don't want this to be a new agey catch all either. Full of love, yes, but off balance, no. It is bound to be tipped as heavy hitters enter the forum. Just give it a moment to right itself. It will.

Who was it just this morning that told me that patience is a learned art?

Much Love,

(p.s...all that said, it is your forum after all haha. I'm just passing through...it is merely a momentary stop on my journey...as I have learned all experiences are...)

LOL ... Yup I said that! And I also said that fierceness has its place too! The one big clarification is this: EE is not an ownership forum. This is hard to get across sometimes because my energy is one of the founding pieces, certainly the most boisterous one. The rest I totally agree with! Like any ship on rough seas things will get bumpy, actually I welcome that. Smooth sailing gets boring, though lovely for periods of time.

I look for some home runs to be hit...

Mental arguments that lead nowhere are usually either steered or dominated, not seeing that here, there are enough "old hands " here for that not to happen.

There is defo something new happening here, positive, but not contrived or "culty".

:D

I think us "old hands" are the most likely to perpetuate the "old" loops...

On the topic at hand, (omg! lmao, pun wasn't intended) I am listening to DW on the vid norman posted. Anyone have any extra face palms? I will find time to write up what I find objectionable when I have the time. Not all his information is wrong, of course! He has to show some credibility.

psst ... don't let my opinion sway you, listen for yourself. He is a fast talker with a story to sell.

Not this crowd, they might be old in years but not in spirit, some people kind of become "fixed" at early adulthood (or earlier lol) and don't learn or change, but that ongoing internal change through life is the main commonality here as far as I can see, those who have the courage to tread where angels can't.

I'm glad that other members asked about the purpose of this thread -- I thought about asking, but decided I have more important ways to spend my energy than "wondering how I..." When there is a private message function here that works perfectly fine.

People do wonder when pms go unanswered in lieu of public disgracing-- christine I sent a message a month ago thats still collecting dust, about the object that popped up in the airport scanner.

Eve Lorgen used to write about that stuff all the time, yet when a real live case appears among yoyr own membership, its as welcome as a fart in an elevator.


Tired of being the fart in scientologys elevator as every special little shooting star rises to the top.


Anyone else feel uncomfortable reading this without a context?

I get slapped on the wrist for letting fellow members know that my access point (a phone) seems hacked , told to take it to private messages,
Yet they are not answered even when friendly.

Is it possible private messages arent getting through or does public humiliation just feel better?
Brotherhood falls asunder at the touch of fire!
He finds his fellow guilty of a skin
Not coloured like his own, and having power
To enforce the wrong, for such a worthy cause
Dooms and devotes him as his lawful prey.
~William Cowper
