Read all the comments and appreciate many of them. I'll retract the charged comments and retain the insight I have gained about the degree of openness by some on the forum. I feel it is wrong to judge people's contributions, grill them, invalidate them, then chastize, and puish members when they push back . . . but hey, that's the way we've made our society. I'll take the "ignore" advice I was given and skip the push-backs from now on.
Ok, that makes some sense. So armed with more accurate knowledge about the nature of this unique environment it should be fairly simple to adapt now?
As easy as asking "want to learn?" (which is the charter of this forum) and if the reply contains an authentic indicator of "yes," I'll engage in dialogue, if not, I will simply press "ignore."
Because "teaching" is a one-way venue in which the teacher is senior and student is subordinate. Whereas the invitation to "learn" is a two-way dialogue where both parties are equal and are engaging to discover.
Can you please clarify what you mean by this Omni? What is it that "goes too far?"
With all due respect, I haven't "expected" people to learn anything from me. I've put fortn my personal experiences and encouraged people to engage in dialogue rather than debate. Sorry, but the fact of the matter is that there are members here who take it upon themselves to be the science advisors or senior word when it comes to what's credible and what's not. Really don't need advice on how to improve my communication either. Some people, no matter how you phrase what you got will poke at it . . . and that's where the issue has been. I'm done poking back, so in that spirit, thanks for your thoughts . . . some I will pick and some, like you said, I've leave.
I find no value in this conversation and feel talked down to rather than talked with. I'll ignore any more of your wisdom.
There is a lot of truth to this.
Then you misunderstand me.
Man I wanna read more stories from you, please post.
Tell more please, I want to learn. Thank you.
Ok, Traveler, I'll give you the benefit of my doubt. If I DID misunderstand you let's take another pass at understanding between us? #Panpsychic, (above in the thread) has just, in my experience, nailed the issue with the turbulence I seem to be bringing to some of the "senior" Nexians here. I never intended it, but I see clearly what he's pointing to and I will do all I can to try and address people's preconceived "authoritarian" notions about my attitude, style, and approach. I will tell you this, many of those who've taken offense rather than leaned into what I'm trying to share aren't in the head or heart space to sit with a Curandero in humility and embrace the absolutely profound guidance they offer anyway, so it really doesn't matter.
