I'm relatively new here but I haven't felt any particular exclusion. Of course, some of the folks around here know each other well, but that's just a natural consequence of this forum having been around for years and years. It takes new members awhile to become known in any established "club," no matter what format it takes. That's just life. I'd drive myself nuts if I tried to believe that this was somehow deliberate exclusion rather than a simple consequence of being a newbie in an established community.
Anyway, we've really gotten far away from the actual topic of the conversation in this thread. Is there anything that we -probably a bit more enlightened than most- can do to help other people understand that there is no One True Spirituality and that it's really not helpful to try to force everyone into the same set of philosophical beliefs?
Obviously, the negs are gonna neg, but it seems to me a lot of everyday people in the middle are "trapped" within control-based systems and simply don't see any other way of behaving. How might we help them to see the true freedom inherent in Intelligent Infinity and understand that there's no real requirement to adhere to ANY specific creed or code or philosophy, except as a matter of individual choice?
