There are certain areas on these forums I do not go to because of the negativity or I just flat out do not agree with some of the ideas there. If you don't like it, don't go and look at/read it.
Alice had got so much into the way of expecting nothing but out-of-the-way things to happen, that it seemed quite dull and stupid for life to go on in the common way.

People here seem to also fail to realize that there is a very strong link with being EMOTIONALLY HEALTHY and having 'special abilities'.  Not to mention, no one seems to get it that Alchemy can help one to transform concepts that they are afraid of or uncomfortable with into something much much more valueable. People are far too defensive, far too reactionary and why? Are they afraid their arm's going to fall off if they don't protect their delusions?

It would be nice if I could find some one out there who is also really curious about WHAT exactly those Sumarian revelations tablets (ME, pronounced "meh") are trying to tell us. Linking Alchemy to Chemistry, Math to Numorolgy, Astronomy to Astrology.. etc..  Is any serious scollar out there besides myself trying to find the benefitial link? Apparently the Sumarians position as very adept thinkers has been woefully underestimated.

Ahhhhhhh, but the sight is about AP, not enlightenment.  It's about a specific facet.  But people can learn.  Some quicker than others.  I like to think if people are exposed to differing viewpoints, they can glean information that rings true.  They can gain insight to find out things for themselves.  Or not.  That is there concious choice.  Besides, you can't tell someone all their beliefs are wrong, they won't believe you [;)]
There is a physical limitation upon how much light a human body can sustain. Interestingly, there is no limit on how much light a human vessel can generate. When fully enlightened you must instill your light in order to maintain its wisdom.

...the sight is about AP, not enlightenment.

Excellent point, missed by most.  As such, respect is handed out not to people with spiritual insight, necessarily, so much as to people with a certain ability (to AP).  When in doubt, the ability is often leveraged to validate an argument, wether or not the ability even has anything to do with the contention.  

Still, for the most part, those with the ability do seem to get along at least somewhat better than those without - and they are just as varied in character and temperament as anyone else, so I must conclude that there is at least something to it, even if it is something as mundane as having lighter spirits.  [;)]  And that is an example to follow.

Perhaps it's me but there sure is a awefully lot of negitivity around.  Criticism, Self-rightousness, Egotism, lots of ugliness here and there.  And the bright ones...stand out like stars in the night sky.  Funny for a sight founded and run by a bright and wonderful guy  (judging purely by his book and writing tone) Many of you seem dark and forboding.  Quick to judge, quick to retort.  
   Let me say the obvious yet again, what no one seems to want to believe.  No one here or anywhere else. Knows anything.  You THINK, you know, you quote sources, you surmise, you draw subjective conclusions.  But you KNOW, nothing.  And sense you KNOW nothing, and that fact is about the closest thing we can call a real fact, why dont you make life easier on everyone including yourself, be nice and perhaps TOGETHER we can evaporate a little more of the fog of ignorance that surrounds each and every person on this planet.  Learn to love and believe in yourself first.... thats right that little ignorant you is as important and worthy as the biggest and brightest mind anywhere, as long as your building it up.  But if your gonna tear it down I dont care how clever you think you are or how right you think you are, get out of my face.  Life is too short to tolerate hatred.
What we do in life echoes in Eternity.
