"At least, dear opponent, I don't hang out on a separee, a balcone, where they comment on the performances of others, mostly together with some other mouth-hero, like critiques use to, who are not artists themselfs, other than feeling entitled to spit on the heart-felt performances of others, while being too much of a rigid and cowardly character to even bother to engage in certain interactions themself. Disgusting!"

"Imagine:
A real seeker, after a long and painfull journey, ends up here, at spiritual-teachers-forum, and encounters certain "peeps", who think themself as above being mere "peeps", who then first pretend to be some wise guys, and then, after trusting them, they chat and make fun about your statements behind your back, not callilng you by your real name for some reason when they do that, but giving you some nick-names, so they can not be caught, talking behind your back about you, in a not very nice way. THAT is what some folks here engage in most of the time, if they are not called out on it...constantly...on a daily basis. THAT is what ST-F is all about, IMNHO...sadly."

Precioccio said: "Welp, path of least resistance leads to a shifting foundation to the belief structure. When a belief is let go, and another belief engaged, that happens because of an imagined likelihood the new belief will provide a happiness that the previous one could not, and that includes the belief that one does not exist or one does not believe in anything, aka, protection.Meetup.com had a few places to go to engage in discussion. Book discussions on Tolle were pretty common back in 2010 or 2011. There's lots of LOA groups but I did not have the desire to attend such group when I was more socially spiritually engaged. I will say it was refreshing, and meaningful, to be a 29/30 year old guy to find other people that had a passion for spiritual stuff. At some point though, I noticed a strange thing, where it seemed like others were trying to gain some further knowledge(and it wasn't always this way), and I was in the process of just the opposite. I'm not saying this was better at all, and in fact I would say I was far more miserable than these people by the time I turned away from the idea of engaging in enlightenment discussion. Yet I still have reverence and would jump at the chance for a coffee and a catch up chat with any one of a 100 people I met with over the years. These days I wouldn't mind a discussion on the mind or synchronicity or what presence is, but to talk about enlightenment wouldn't really be fun at all. More than likely such a talk would have a lot more to do with listening, than talking."Read more: spiritualteachers.proboards.com/thread/4691/#ixzz4J2YAxcKlIn my non humble opinion, that does not sound toooooooooooooo bad, after all. The only thing/event/statement I would complain about, as Narrada-rator, is what Pre said about his on-off-on-off-on-off relationship with a woman, who he has a new-born baby with. That's not a good sign, in my eyes. It points to some unstable relationship isssues, a couple engages in, who should not have babys, when they are not settled as a couple yet, and still struggle to accept and support each other, but instead of doing so, fight and argue with each other. Those relationships are called IMMATURE by me. And immature people do better not to have children. And if they do have children, they would do better to accept the duty of taking care of the child (maybe in physical absense by one of them), if one of the partners is a narccissist and can not properly care for a family. In that case, the narccissist has to leave the non-narccissist alone, if the non-narccissist wishes that to be the state of affairs. |

"Everybody believes in something and/or someone. Even atheists beliefe that tomorrow will come. Peaceful Islam is NOT what people think about muslims nowerdays. I, personally, never had any kind of problems or can complain about my muslim/sufi neigbors, whatsoever. I enjoy their peaceful way of engaging in what I also engage in:
Honoring the gift of being alive by being of help and support for my fellow human beings as I enjoy their help and guidance for my way of life also.
Inshallah..."
