all because it was hard to log in,
This is not directed just at you, Nepsfeather, but I see that more than one on here shares the same thought. Why do you stay here if there are no disagreements or anything to debate? Yes, it is a matter of choice of course, but still a fair question.
Well, I have read most of the threads. I guess I would have to agree with you. It was nice visiting. Peace.
Hello Immortellle,
I would love to see the love and vibrancy that was 'Spiritual Discussion Forum' but things change and we move on.
I am still trying to figure out what has changed. We are still the same people and many of us have a history together.
So, what could have changed the chemistry that was once 'Spiritual Dicussion Forum,' where we all use to speak our minds, sometimes taking it beyond acceptable...[hey thats what family do]...to now be a quiet community who is now 'politically correct' and I do not mean politics.
Please!... I am not good at arguing a point...BUT... I can see and feel the difference between these two or may I say Twin Forums...one is quiet and the other was loud and vibrant.
This new forum is still a lovely place to be and I prefer it to other forums...BUT...I truly miss the 'Energy' that was 'SDF'
Peace and Love Neptune...
What a loving response from you to your question. I had expected a flash of ego from anyone. My personal response is that one need not care where the clouds drift; yet, why not at the same time. I must imagine that ones that were loud and vibrant have moved on. There does come a point when there is nothing left to debate or argue. Again, perhaps a peaceful forum is a positive statement in itself. All is as it should be. Nevertheless, anything can be stirred up. I would like it if you did this. Of course, who am I but a passing firefly to say so. Or, I could do this myself if requested.
Well, an analysis of this forum. It is no different from most others in that there is a hierarchy in hand with elitism. Generally, there is a king/queen bee that is aggressive and others become subserviant. This one can easily be picked out because it is the one that has so much to say-ego disguised as anything but that.In such forums, outside opinions are treated in a territorial manner. You will have to decide if this is for you. I am only passing through as this is what I do-exposing the falseness of ego-mind saviors.
I hope you have read the posts. Hypocrisy exposed. Unfortunately, it takes being judgemental to do this. Note Jesus defying his own words with the money exchangers. The king/queen did not come out. They are infamous for the last word so he/she will after the fact. This may have a lot to do with people leaving the forum. Most of the forums I have crossed share these same characteristics. I would have liked to see what the previous forum was like. Everything is as it is-that is the bottom line. Peace.
Hello Nep...
i was the first member to register on this forum from the old SDF.
One of the reasons this forum is so inactive is due to the most contoversial of it's participants were those of us who advocated the emptiness of the phenomenal world found less and less to say about it that hadn't been repeated many times before. And perhaps like myself, percieved by degrees, no real reason for it.
For the language police, should there be any hanging around....i've used conventional language for were there to be used the language of the unformed there would be nothing to say, no one to say it and none to hear it.....come to think of it, that is the major theme/complaint of this thread isn't it? Donchya just love it? LOL, Laughter to all of "US"
Hi, Ekanta here. I dont look here much anymore, much like chip said...
My work is mostly with myself (the man in the mirror like Michael Jackson sang).
I have a work where I work with people's social understanding a lot and think that is enough. The other day I sat talking with a co worker and told her how good she is at her work and that I see and notice it, she fell into tears. That is just a small example of how one can spread understanding and love in real life.
As for spiritual discussions... there has to be a balance between discussion and practice. Even though I discussed a lot in the past my focus should be on practice.
I remember a very good quote by Sai Baba:
"You dont have to tell other whats correct or how to be, its enough if you show by example, then they will understand better".
There are so many different people showing up in these discussions, yet the ways are different, from strict christians, new agers, buddhists, yoga dudes to atheists. If you mix it all where is the progress? And then combine it with the personal understanding (or lack of) it becomes even more a mess.
In short, for me it became a waste of time to hand around here.
And by the way... some cool things coming up...
As said I work in school with behaviour and social understanding. Now we are going to start with mindfulness training too, thats going to be cool, like meditation. Looking forward to that.
My long term plan is to be able to teach more and more in line with the "educare" principles, which focuses on value-based education (universal values brought to life from inside the person).
Cya dudes, sometime...
