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......

Thankyou for clearing that up Dawn.I appreaciate straight shooting comments that make me self reflect. It is a crucial part of our self developemt, in my humble opinion So clearly there was something on my mind. But that seems to have resolved itself as well just recently. In a most unexpected way. yet satisfactory way.And that is fantastic.
I have noticed people be so defensive in expressing themselves honestly because of fear of being slapped down. It's been wonderful to see people slowly come out their shells and start sharing their truths, Not all of those truths have been pleasent. However you can recognize the difference in what is said. And that is a healthy step i think.
We are not our beliefs, Nor are we our behaviours. We are that We are.

Dear Dawn,
You are, they are, we are, I AM all prophets, all masters in the making. All with buddha, or christ, potential within our DNA. In this we are all equal, only our position on the path differentiates us. Our unique experiences should be openly shared, not blatantly denied. That is why I created this discussion to find out a bout this side of people who tend to vilify without sharing more of themselves. I think its worked ok under the circumstances. Conversation has been heated, And coherent. Can't ask for more than that.
I considered that inference, and that is all it was, for a long time. before I made it. I read and re read the posts the comments. And I believe that i was being trolled. It is not an inference I made lightly. If a troll be someone who seeks to provoke an emotional response via inflammatory comment, then I believe my inference was, and considering what has transpired over the last few days, remains correct. I have extended my hand in apology and friendship to the parties on a number of occasions. My efforts have been met with ridicule and further attacks. I have since sought to avoid contact with said parties yet they seem to find me. I consider that trolling, by definition, Not as a profession, As a behaviour. And I once again, I extended my hand in apology and friendship. At least this time there was only no response. so we are at least making progress.
Dear Dawn, I can't imagine why you would think that inference was intended for you. (that is how I read your comment. correct me if I AM wrong. We may not necessarily see eye to eye on all things, however I accept that as part of the game. And I enjoy that you can express openly like this. I AM not immune to the vagaries of life.
God speed you on your path Dawn,
Namaste

Further to the last it appears I owe someone an apology.
They have, in the last few minutes, proved me wrong.
One, respect brother You have my apologies.
I stand corrected.
My faith has been renewed.

B.T.W everyone,
considering the contentious nature of the discussion topic, (I AM aware of this, in case you were wondering) it's been great to see it remain fairly civil in here.Particularly considering how far it could've degenerated.
've enjoyed getting an insight into some of your deeper thoughts where previously, in my experience on this site at least, the futile bickering has not allowed this to be an option.
So there you have it, my agenda.
I stand guilty as charged.

I couldn't agree with you more Dawn.
It was always going to be a struggle for the light.
The dark were never going down without a fight.
I believe however that the light has too much momentum. i feel the outcome in favour of the light is inevitable e. that is has already happened. just waiting for the win to show itself in physicality.Was having a conversation a short while ago An area where the change is obvious is in animals. Animals co exist much more easily with different species than they used to. including humans. I believe this is as a result of the return of the divine sacred feminine. And the reduction in fear planet wide, Namaste.
like nostradamus for example?
His predictions were bang on until the harmonic convergence of 1987. Then humanity chose a different timeline, they chose peace. And it made his predictions from there on end redundant.
That's a good thing. Isn't it?
This is hte thing with predictions. They can be correct at the time of the prediction. We can then choose different to the prediction from the range of potential that exist.
Healing comes in all shapes and sizes Lori

the glass is ALWAYS full, if it is half filled with water it is still filled the rest of the way with nitrogen and oxygen and other things from our atmosphere.
the truth is the glass is never empty or half empty but always full. if you were more interested in truth than teams you would understand that.
