There is an interesting attribute displayed by those that are purely dismissive of those that put their head on the chopping block by my putting their opinion out there? They offer no tangible opinion of their own.
It is easy to look at a piece of writing and say "what a load of crap". But what do you offer as an alternative?
Where is the conviction in your beliefs?
In my opinion this is a display of cowardice. An inability to commit to anything due to self doubt.
It is incomprehensible that someone would cal a fellow brother or sister a liar, or ignorant, or deluded because they are speaking what they believe to be true. And then not offer a valid explanation as to why.
Firs of all you are not questioning the authors opinion. You are making a judgment against their character. You are bringing their integrity into question. And no one, certainly no one sitting in front of a computer screen, armed with bad arse typing fingers, is qualified to do that.....................................
"And the scribes and Pharisees brought unto Him a woman taken in adultery; and when they had set her in the midst, They say unto Him, Master, this woman was taken in adultery, in the very act. Now Moses in the Law commanded us, that such should be stoned: but what sayest Thou?"
"This they said, tempting Him, that they might have to accuse Him."
"But Jesus stooped down, and with His finger wrote on the ground, as though He heard them not. So when they continued asking Him, He lifted up Himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her. And again He stooped down, and wrote on the ground."
"And they which heard it, being convicted by their own conscience, went out one by one, beginning at the eldest, even unto the last: and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst."
"When Jesus had lifted up Himself, and saw none but the woman, He said unto her, Woman, where are those thine accusers? Hath no man condemned thee?"
"She said, No man, Lord."
"And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more." (John 8:2-11 KJV)
..........It's amazing to think that there are people on this site who condemn a man who presented teachings such as this.
They are of course, the ones who do not understand this principle.
Irrespective of your spiritual practices and beliefs, this metaphor is sound. And is fundamental to what I believe a Worker of the Light stands for.
So to those of you who have a "questioning, critical", I put it to you. I offer you an opportunity to put your opinions and beliefs out there. As opposed to what it is you don't believe. And I AM curious to hear your reasonings.
Understand that saying "It's the same b/s as before doesn't really stand scrutiny. Because that would suggest that the past always equals the future. And clearly this is an undefendable argument. It is also precludes the possibility of things happening that you are not aware of. It is a big universe after all. Of things that are of a more subtle nature, that perhaps you haven't developed the sensitivity to discern yet.
Doubters of the world, you have the floor......

Permalink Reply by Marique on October 30, 2012 at 4:22am I think it is safe to presume that I am a doubter until things are proven and that if something is said and it did not happen that it is (not ok according to you) to say," it did not happen, and therefore it is not true?"....I think you are saying that everything that is printed out there is true and/or could be true so everyone should just believe anything and everything that they read because it could be true or should be true if one ignored obvious facts and just made believe it is true...so if one makes a judgement call that something obviously is a lie that that makes them a person just "lacking in discernment abilities"....am I getting your feelings on this right? To me if you know something is not true because it has proven itself to be untrue, such as for instance, that the earth did not come to an end in 1996 as Sheldan Nidle told everyone one it would and then he claimed it DID happen.... for instance...that in your view it is because someone has "an inability to commit to anything due to self doubt" that they are saying that something is not true? And it does not matter that it did not happen, heaven forbid someone should point out the inaccurateness in that...therefore it is not enlightened in your eyes to point out a lie if it is a lie.....(because you are so much more enlightened then anyone who questions and does not accept everything they read and hear and are not sheeple)... Am I understanding you? So basically you are saying that it is not a good thing to keep ones eyes on what is real and verifiable and reasonable to assume is not real...that all tangible facts and probabilities should be ignored and everything printed by everyone should be embraced as truth because it is the kind thing to do???? Am I getting it right? I want to believe too but there are limits to my gullibility....I am not good I guess at making believe stuff just because others have an agenda and want me to believe a certain thing because they do. Oh and for the record when I call something out as being a lie, I back it up quite substantially with my findings and reasons for feeling that way...
You have given your opinion and judgement of people who are questioners, so how does this make you any better with your presumptions that people who question things are not enlightened...not to use your own words, but....
"First of all you are not questioning the authors opinion. You are making a judgment against their character. You are bringing their integrity into question. And no one, certainly no one sitting in front of a computer screen, armed with bad arse typing fingers, is qualified to do that.....................................
Yet YOU are armed and sitting there in front of YOUR computer screen with bad arse typing fingers passing YOUR judgement on people who question things....so what makes you so qualified to do that? You said that no one is qualified to do that.....
Permalink Reply by Peter Panayiotis Karanikas on October 30, 2012 at 5:37am Thankyou for your input Marique.
First of all I AM not suggesting you believe everything you hear. I AM also not suggesting you doubt everything you hear. Your approach to discerning truth is your approach. There is no judgment on that. My personal approach is to view every new piece of information with as open a mind as I can muster. And let the information speak for itself. Because i believe everything, no matter how similar it may seem, should be judged on its merits. If I don't like a particular line of reasoning, I stop following those writings. I don't see where I have said anything about what or how you should believe.
That however is not what this discussion is about.
My gripe is is with people who look at someones piece of writing, and because it does not fullfil their map of the world they make a character judgment against the person. They call them a liar, or delusional. And don't offer an explanation supporting it. Only criticism. How has that helped the person learn? All you've prove is you know as little or even less than the person you are condemning. Because I believe, if you can't offer a solution, then you don't know what you're talking about. You are part of the problem. And I won;t speak unless I can offer an alternative view point. Be it right or wrong.
What is a lie? it is a conscious alteration of a truth. For example, You are having a shitty day. And you know you are having a shitty day. And someone asks you, how was your day? And you answer great thanks. You have told a lie. You have knowingly altered the truth to create a false impression. And I do believe we are all guilty of that at some point in time in our lives. Hence - He who is without sin may cast the first stone. Me included.
Sir Isaac Newton founded the Laws of Orbital Mechanics, which describe the way bodies interact whilst in orbit with each other. Now a law, by definition, means it is a universal constant. And so it was, until they looked at how sub atomic particles behave in orbit, and discovered they did not follow his law. More recently they've discovered that stars in orbit around a galaxy also don't follow Newtons law. They are in a what is known as a flat disk rotation. So Newtons Law is only true in 1 out of 3 known scenarios. My question is, does that make Isaac a liar? Or was he just missing some information. I bet if someone had said to him, "hey mate, have you noticed that galaxies don't conform to your law he would've said thankyou. I have some more work to do. Do you have any suggestions?
People don't always get it right. They are lacking information. They are not liars. In my opinion the person making the liar claim is the more misinformed. Because they are making a judgment of character against someone that have never met.As opposed to questioning their work.
And I bring peoples behaviours into question. No their integrity.I do not call them names. I do not identify people with their behaviour.
And please, I AM very selective with my words. I would ask you to respect that fact rather than put words in my mouth. I have no judgment on where people are at in their lives.And whilst I never inferred it, you are correct. I AM no better than these people I speak about. I do however respect people and their integrity. particularly people who put it out there knowing that they are going to cop a pasting, because they believe in what they do an say. That, Marique, in my humble opinion, is courage. And if you don't have something constructive to say to these peole, Save your words until you do. It is to everyones benefit.
BTW, 1996 was a long time ago. If you don't agree with Sheldon Nidle's work, why are you still reading it 16 years later. why would you fill your mind with such lies.
Namaste.

we have a whole site to post our beliefs when we feel like it. saying sheldan nidle is lying, doesnt mean we are also saying aliens arent real and there wont be a change on earth.
that is your ASSupmtion about us. again your problem if you want, seems like you do not understand the parable you presented.
since you are painting us as sinners for calling out the lies of another, like we are attacking everything they believe too.
if you make a promise that doesnt come true, that is a lie, if two people who are both devout believers of the same thing are together and one says i promise to visit you tomorrow and doesnt they lied, if the person who waited calls them a liar for not keeping their promise it does not in any way mean that they are also saying since they lied about this everything they have ever said must also be a lie and they dont even believe anymore the things they believed before meeting their lying friend
you havent even asked what people believe about anything in particular.
so to appease your need for validation i will accept your challenge and post one of my beliefs
i believe the sun is actually a ball of gas that is undergoing nuclear fission of its elemental atomic makeup, slowly converting itself into heavier elements and eventually it will begin to burn out and in doing so will burn off the atmosphere of this planet and kill whatever is left on this earth, after this it will supornova and burn out and become a dwarf star, maybe even a pulsar.

you sad little bait game didnt really work, because i didnt ask what you believed in and i didnt ask for you to give anyone your beliefs,
YOU asked what people beleived in but not on any subject matter.
also you negate the whole premise of treating people with respect when you attempt to use my statement back at me
you are just sore because you have been found out fo rthe fraud you are, the evidence was posted by darryl, despite you just denying it and thenmaking assinine statements like you dont delete comments yet i found a comment you yourself deleted, so you fail every step f the way in attempting to be honest with us here because you are side stepping backtracking and playing games.
we stl;l read nidles work because he is attempting to sell similar lies to people.
expanding knowledge doesnt happen when it is filled with lies or when people are just out to prove points rather than brining out the correct information, and to stop you dead in your little schoolyard tracks there is a big difference in being right to be right and being right to have correct information for everyone.
allowing any belief to be "true" detracts from truth, because not everything everyone believes is true.
like how you think calling someone a liar makes the accuser the problem despite the fact that the liar is a habitual liar.
enough with your stupid backwards beliefs about calling things what they are , a lie is a lie is a lie is a lie, doesnt matter how you slice it, and when we have evidence and proof of the lies, WHICH WE DO BUT YOU ARE PURPOSEFULLY IGNORING IT, then it is YOU who are cauing the problem by defending and promoting the constant selling of lies.
Nice try but you failed again at trying to bait the "trolls" into your traps, but it will never work, simply because we have actual truth on our side, not beliefs and dogmas and fallacies
Permalink Reply by Peter Panayiotis Karanikas on October 30, 2012 at 6:24am Don't start down this path again One.
You made an excellent point, I admitted it, and you want to carry on like this?
I don't need to bait the trolls.
They do a good enough job themselves.
It appears that once again we are at an empass. Since i've managed to go nine pages elsewhere without an argument I can only assume there is something fundamentally wrong in our communication. I thus withdraw form this fight as I see nothing productive coning from it atm
Maybe tomrrow when things have settled down you can tell me why this idea can't be true. I'd love to explain to you why it can be true. I have some interesting evidence that I AM sure you'll love to hear .
You may recall this from a few weeks ago.
Did you ever consider the sea walls are a technology we don't know about. Posssibly magnetic? Likie the suturing of the crust? There is a lot of earthquake activity. Yet no real damage. No waves. Just because you don't know about it, doesn't mean its not real.
Hear me out. I promise you'll like it.

Permalink Reply by Marique on October 30, 2012 at 1:49pm I feel that calling people trolls is disrespectful to people, so I see that you should use your words and judgements with more respect while you are trying to say that people should treat each other with respect! I have never called anyone a name here because I think it is disrespectful and and when I disagree with someone I tell them why I feel the way I do, but do not call people names...ask anyone....even when being attacked I never call anyone names.... I thought you agreed with that too, but yet you call people trolls....whas up with that???? Is that not labeling people due to your own beliefs and putting people into a category? You confuse me Peter.
Permalink Reply by Peter Panayiotis Karanikas on October 31, 2012 at 6:48pm Further to my last comment Marique I considered what you said as I do take sych comments to heart.
First of all I have not called anyone a troll. I have made an inference. At the time of making it felt that I was being "trolled". And I don't believe I had done anything to deserve the treatment I was receiving at the time.
We all have our limits of endurance Marique, I AM no different. I have used that as a learning experience and moved on from it. Can I guarantee it won't happen again? Of course not. It is however my ongoing intention to be able to make that promise. I feel much better equipped to do so now. Sometimes you don't get the healing til you pop.
I have a fairly unique perspective on the world. In my opinion at least. that perspective has come as a result of living it. So what I speak is my truth, Not what I have read, not what I have been told I only speak that which I have tested in the real world and have made work for me. It is my truth. You can question it, disagree with it.Bring my sanity into question, No problem. If you want to know how I've come to my conclusions just ask me. And if yo don't like what I have to say, Thats ok too. However no on can call me a liar. Regardless of how outlandish my comments are.
At the time of making the troll inference there were members from here that had been doing just that. Even going to the extremes of doctoring my posts. I have provided evidence in support of my claims and the lack of coment since then suggests that my evidence holds water.
If I were as you suggest a rude person, I would've taken the offending party to task over that. I have however, allowed the matter to go away. I AM not interested in fighting. I will however defend my integrity when I deem it necessary.
I hope this explains a bit more about how I operate Marique. I Am not seeeking our approval as such. I do however take comments such as yours seriously. I appreciate being asked to have a look at myself in the way that you have done. In my opinion it shows depth of character.
Namaste

This is the definition of troll that I had in mind when I made that inference.
From Wikipedia.
In Internet slang, a troll is someone who posts inflammatory,[3] extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community, such as a forum, chat room, or blog, with the primary intent of provoking readers into an emotional response[4] or of otherwise disrupting normal on-topic discussion.
I was in no doubt that I was being provoked. It was A discussion that I'd postd. I wanted to discuss it. It seemed I was alone.
You could argue that I could've waked away from it.
That's a work in progress.

take note marique of the lies and hypocrisy, he told you he had given up on proving his innocence in what darryl brought to light here.
then 12 minutes later is asking me where the proof is he asked for about what darryl posted.
seems he cannot let it go as he claims to you in his post about how is is so great.

Permalink Reply by Peter Panayiotis Karanikas on October 31, 2012 at 8:39pm What saddens me about this oNe is that for a moment there I thought we were starting to come to an understanding.
I guess we both still have some work to do.

I believe we have a lot to offer each other if we can get over ourselves.
