This quote gets thrown around a lot but it's an important one:
Fang and co. are offering their service with love. The love of truth. I know Fang likes Adonai, he wouldn't be sharing his perspective otherwise. It's a useful service to point out ideas that one might be clinging to which may not be serving one's best interests. It's not a matter of authority or anything like that, it's simply a desire to share what one has found on their own path.
Saying "You're right Adonai, you are in more pain than any of us could ever understand, there there" doesn't serve anyone. The truth is we have ALL felt pain, and to say that one person's pain is more intense or real than another's is dishonest and belittling to those who have also felt much pain in their lives. Sometimes the best way to serve someone is to tell them what they don't want to hear, and I'm glad there are people on this forum willing to do so. This doesn't arise from a lack of love/light, and to say it does is simply a personal interpretation of the catalyst presented and is your own responsibility.
Disagreeing with someone is not an 'STS' action and labeling something that you find hard to accept as 'STS' is both silly and divisive. Can we please move past this black and white, dualistic view of reality?
To address the original post, I agree that you should never be afraid to ask for help, just realize the help won't always come in the form you expect. You've just gotta spin the Wheel of Fortune and see where it lands
.
My advice regarding the pain/martyr thing: just remember that your pain doesn't have to define you, you always have a Choice.
Quote:The entity which is given constant and unremitting approval by those surrounding it suffers from the loss of the mirroring effect of those which reflect truthfully rather than unquestioningly. This is not a suggestion to reinstate judgment but merely a suggestion for all those supporting instruments; that is, support, be harmonious, share in love, joy, and thanksgiving, but find love within truth, for each instrument benefits from this support more than from the total admiration which overcomes discrimination.
