There is definitely energetic connections over forums and it can be a blessing or a challenge... I now view this forum more as a shared meditation, play and contemplation. A place where we flow and grow together in this curious space...
Well said. It's something I struggled with too in the past. I used to be a moderator of a well known Law of One proponent's listserv (over a decade ago now) and the experience was one of the most subtle and intense catalysts. Either it was the ridiculousness of the interpersonal egos doing battle in various forms, or it was talking to be heard, or it was just the perceived naivete of new age nuts.
Now I get it: the words, the concepts, the claims are just carriers for something much more substantial and sustaining. Thanks for highlighting it, Raz.
