What I'm getting at with my words however harsh they may be is attempting to allow you to realize that they are just words. Their intended effects is purely based upon your emotional reaction to them. Without your reaction, the words are no different than any other word. This is where mental and physical security and confidence in one's whole self resides. By being insulted and upset at these words, to me, means that one hasn't fully accepted ones self because if they were, such words would have no impact.
The language (written or verbal) we use to communicate with each other reflects our emotional and spiritual maturity.
It really is that simple.
There is no excuse for being unkind, period.
But see that's what I'm trying to convey is that the only reason they feel unkind is because of ones emotional reaction to the catalyst being presented. Now, my directed personal insult was against the guidelines here so that was too far I guess. As for all else that I have said, I stand by all of it.
If one finds that they feel hurt or any negative emotion after a set of words are spoken or typed, this is where the lesson resides. This is where one needs to seek within and ask ones self why they felt this in the first place. It's how Ra spoke of consciously analyzing ones responses based upon biases one has set up for ones self within their respective incarnation.
To put it plainly, this type of honesty from an other self could be exactly why this other self incarnated in the first place. Could I be wrong? Most definitely. But what if I'm right and that other self needed that proverbial slap in the face to allow them to realize what they have been refusing to recognize within?
That is where honesty comes in. It's not of malice intent, at least not from me. It's the recognition or intuition to see that there is work that an other could potentially benefit from. Instead of the coddling that runs rampant here, I choose to be more blunt than most. Its also where I've come to respect zenmaster even more for what he was trying to do here. Everyone thinks compassion is trying to be nice and not hurt the others feelings but that's enabling further detrimental emotions to be harbored and I cannot be a part of that as it goes against who I am.
