I have noticed a lot of Presuming and Assuming here.
I suggest that this be watched.
This is especially prevelant in those who think they are enlightened, or very aware. And in those who are older, and naturally assume, due to experience and more knowledge, that they know the score, before it ever goes up on the board.
Assumption quickly shuts the door, labels are plastered, and the poster is put in a box, and related to in what appears to be the proper manner.
But it's not True.
Perhaps some assumptions and presumptions are accurate, but
it is best to simply accept the posts as they come. And comment in a free way, instead of a fixed, "I know what you are about" way.
Because really, no one knows anyone.

Because really, no one knows anyone. Well, I tend to agree. I had a conversation recently with someone who assumed I had an issue with helping animals, in spite of the fact that I repeatedly said I didn't. She assumed she knew what I was saying and presumed to correct what she thought she heard. She assumed I was defining one way that something should be done and presumed to help me see other ways. She assumed that I was declaring something a travesty, when really she made up the whole idea. She presumed to declare me insane without even understanding what I was saying. Yes, it does seem to be a problem for those who think they're enlightened or very aware. Thanks for bringing this to your,.... I mean,.....our.... attention.  |

lexi, Aren't you assumng and presuming? No. I am observing. As long as you're observing yourself, that can be very useful. It's not often that somebody starts a thread entirely as an unconscious projection. |

That I started this thread because it is me who is presuming and assuming? Oh, I thought that was clear. Yes I detailed it in the first post. |

Because really, no one knows anyone. Hi Lexi, I love simplicity, and sometimes it seems, for me anyway, that I overlook the simple, because it is so simple. My mind is always engaged and takes simplicity to mean, that which can be improved upoun, which of course it can't. On entering this great discussion site, I like every newcomer should, checked out the guidelines. The line that struck me as being unique and refreshing was, "People are mirrors. It's easy to see the mote in the other person's eye and miss the beam in yours. Before you post a response, ask your self why you are doing it - is it ego or the spirit of friendship? It seemed to me, that if I adhered to this statement, a lot of baggage would get left at the door and a more honest dialogue would ensue. As I feel more space surrounding my slow awakening, I am afforded the opportunity to question, who the doer really is. When I recognize the "Ego" as the doer, I can often delete a whole post, which I've done many times before on other sites. Sometimes though, I'll consciously allow the Ego to have it's way. Just to see what happens. I personally, don't feel that the Ego is the enemy (oops, not presuming every does) and that every effort should be made to resist it. (oops again )  I like to envision all the Ego's running around the playground, pushing and shoving, getting into trouble and I'm the one on the bench, watching it all and having a good chuckle. TRF |
