I just posted something on the Spirit-war. Here's one example of the evidence to back up my post. Another is Goingslow being banned. Another is also some of Goingslow's posts (but not JUST him!). There is a lot more I can post if you care to know, but at least be fair and read my post about the Spirit-war first. NOBODY will ever know the answer because it is far beyond human understanding. What's important is existing HERE and NOW.

Bruce Lee: "The Question: 'I'm loved?'"

Bruce Lee: "The three most difficult things: To keep a secret, to forget an injury, and to make good use of leisure."

None of us can say anything about ourselves because we are not where we should be. we keep insulting each other, for whatever reason, and I'm not talking about just the forums. I insulted a friend of mine horribly and intentionally a few days ago. She didn't talk to me all summer, and so I took all of the experiences we had together in the past to mean nothing, and so I got very angry and was very hurt. So I called her a slut and a b!tch and all kinds of other nasty words. But a few days later I felt terrible about it and forgave her for not hanging out with her, and apologized to her for insulting her. She forgave me and we are still friends.

Think of how much we use the word "hate." That word is a very strong word, almost an extremity. This word is used too loosely, at least in the U.S. "I hate this" and "I hate that" when really what we mean is "I dislike this" or "this REALLY annoys me" or "this is my pet peave."

This is the conduct I think we were meant to follow:

A story tells that two friends were walking through the desert.    During some point of the journey they had an argument,  and one friend slapped the other one in the face. The one who got slapped was hurt, but without saying anything, wrote in the
sand:

TODAY MY BEST FRIEND SLAPPED ME IN THE FACE.

They kept on walking until they found an oasis, where they decided to take a bath. The one who had been slapped got stuck
in the mire and started drowning, but the friend saved him.
After he recovered from the near drowning, he wrote on a stone:

TODAY MY BEST FRIEND SAVED MY LIFE.

The friend who had slapped and saved his best friend asked him,
"After I hurt you, you wrote in the sand and now, you  write on a stone, why?"  The other friend  replied "When someone hurts us we should write it down in sand where winds of forgiveness can erase it away. But, when someone does something good for us, we must engrave
it in stone where no wind can ever erase it."
LEARN TO WRITE YOUR HURTS IN THE SAND AND TO
CARVE YOUR BENEFITS IN STONE. They say it takes a minute to find a special person, an hour to appreciate them, a day to love them, but then an entire life to forget them.

So if we all want to continue to insult and flame each other, that's just fine, but it's not going to get us anywhere. I hope that EVERYONE on this site reads this, so nobody misses this point. The thing is, Adrian keeps talking about an 'equilibrium.' This equilibrium can oly exist in theory, because there will always be people who find out about this site and join, think everyone's crazy, disagree with this or that, insult people, etc. That's the way it is. The only equilibrium that can exist is that of nature itself. Equilibrium is reached when there is a balance of energies. This balance can be achieved in many ways; in chemistry, sometimes balance is achieved by an explosion caused by the reaction of different substances or by energy changes in those substances.

A bomb is made to explode, but once it explodes, the equilibrium has been reached, and there will be no more explosion. Astralpulse will change no matter what anybody does to try and preserve it. We must simply decide what is best for ourselves. One thing that MUST remain is respect, and it seems that some individuals here are forgetting that. No matter how this site changes, there must always be respect for each other. Remember that what may be considered an honor in one house may be considered a dishonor in another house, so depending on whose house we're in, we must respect them by not doing anything they feel is dishonorable. On the other hand, nobody said we had to go inside the house in the first place. So who is there to blame but yourself if you do not first learn the rules of the house before entering?

Hi,

We all find it difficult to manifest love in our times of weakness.  We all make mistakes, and sometimes we all hurt someone.  I suggest that when a person is trying to focus on love, whether you judge their attempt to be "adequate" in your opinion or not, that nothing positive is gained by telling them that their love somehow isn't good enough.  I do not think it is possible to make any attempt to express love and not become a better person as a result of that attempt.  Who are we to judge any expression of love from another?  

If some of our ideas come to us from books, then I suggest that maybe those books came to us because they will ultimately help us to learn important lessons internally?  Most things manifest in stages.  For many of us, books provide some of those stages.

I'm sorry...I realize that I do not know the history of this situation and maybe I should just shut up.  It just saddens me seeing people potentially being discouraged from trying to express their love.

Sorry if I offended anyone by sticking my nose in.

THE TRUTH does not get lost in details.  It does not create it's own illusion.  It offers only one thing Absolute Love.

Each of us stands imperfect.  Each of us must find our way.  Only we can find our own way because only we truly know ourselves.  Each of us must resist the desire to have someone else solve the puzzle of our life for us, for they stand imperfect also...whether we can see it our not.

EnderWiggin, thank you for a beautiful and profound post.

quote:I will do what I never do...but I feel this must be said.

THE TRUTH is that you are loved. That there is a Love that exists that is so absolutely accepting, so all encompassing, so beautiful that once you have felt it you wish for nothing more than to have it with you always.

This ABSOLUTE TRUTH will set you free. In its absolutism it makes no demands. It is just there waiting for us to let go of our fears, our desires, our guilt, our need to be needed, our anger, our illusions.

There are a million illusions of fear, anger, need, desire we must peel away to reach this ABSOLUTE TRUTH that we are loved and are love, an energy beyond words. Stripe away the illusions and you will be free. No one need guide you there save your self for only you can navigate your illusions.

Thought of ABSOLUTE LOVE and peace of mind is really what it is all about. However there is a force called TERROR and FEAR that will not allow us to just fly away on cloud nine. We need a Hero to help us connect to Absulute Love an take the burdens that we all carry.
