From a very brief view of discussions on internet forums i see that many great threads quickly degenerate into comparions of opinions. One person start comparing their classification system with another. They then lock horns and start comparing reflections of their genital weights.
Reading the emotions behind the words of many discussions what i witness is this;
'with my piercing awareness i will crush your weak misguided ideas into a smouldering whimpering heap of debris then dance a war chant over your grave, then you'll accept mine fool because only i am right.' The chest beating inherited from our ape ancestry then continues until the next banana turns up in our awareness.
Its very easy to fall foul of self deception trying to learn sorcery. The special words we have tried to learn are too slippery to nail to a dictionary.The concepts too are just, well how can i put it, beyond reason i guess. Looking back at several times in my life the langauge of sorcery was all i had left of real personal value. They were my prizes. The strange thing is now when i find i really want to communicate with people about this stuff i have to drop those prizes.
Admission time, I took part in an online cleergreen workshop the other day. One of the things that struck me was when some chick whose name i should know but dont said that 'listening' is one great way to a magical state of awareness. 'Just listen', she said. That pierced me. I even managed to stop thinking she was a fraud for a while. Really moved me that did. Cost me 30 bucks but it did move me.
It is very easy to get sucked into a semantic debates on forums with some very long words, quotes, counter arguments etc. Personally i am ignornt of how to use the quote feature on forums therefore i am easy pickings. Write anything overly long and you will likely bore me into agreeing with you. Im just one of those people who really whose opinions are built on sand. If yours are rocksteady great, just hold there while i slip into them with you.
Somedays i even have the misguided idea that i may be losing my human form. If reading this really pisses you off please feel free to point out why i am wrong. I will probably agree with you after a very short period of time.
So as a countermeasure to all this talk of arguing i will now channel the magical being 'Nagual Loosehand Mate Us' and suggest that what we really need here on the forums is a little bit of a love injection. With a small amout of love injected into us we suddenly find ourselves able to listen to other people, and thats it really. Just listen.
Ok group hug everyone, 'Mate us' over and out.
That'll be 100 bucks please.
