If our ways of being involve separation, per Ra's description of the Transformation of the Mind, I believe that we must actively choose which traits we want to continue to carry with us through our incarnation and which traits we find cause more disharmony than harmony.
For instance, I understand that people here perceive me as emotional, shrill, etc. I do my best to temper these traits (obviously not always successfully) for the harmony of the forum, and to increase the potential for blue ray transfer/understanding. I believe it is our ego that holds on to traits of our personality that we believe serve us, yet separate us. If I admire a trait, and find it conducive to harmony, I will try to cultivate it in my own being. To me, this is the point.
As for the Zaxon thread, this occurred before I was a moderator and even before I was a poster so I can't comment on that. From what I remember of reading the thread, though, he didn't seem to be presenting himself as trying to fill a role as the antagonist here, nor purport to be happily willing to break everyone here's free will.
And I thoroughly understand that many people arrive here because they don't fit in elsewhere. That is one of my primary concerns. Where as this forum is meant to be a landing pad for people who have just discovered the material, instead it is filled with dominant personalities who have their own "personal" interpretation of the material that they have been cultivating themselves for a long time. I can't imagine how confusing of an experience it must be for new Law of One readers to read this forum, to come upon a thread like this that perpetuates one of the worst lies of third density/Christianity/martyrdom: That only through pain and struggle can we grow. I know this is a primary facet of third density, but it's also one of its main limitations if not addressed subconsciously.
I have to agree with Jade that in my recent return to the forum there seems to be a lot of purposely distorted views of the material, which is quite obvious to tell because there is not even an attempt to use www.lawofone.info and search for the relevant passages; instead there seems more of the desire to just post stream of consciousness thoughts without significant care for what the material says on the subject.
Which is to be expected (or at least I expect it) as this is an internet forum and most forums are !@#$ shows (though bring4th is definitely less so), but I can totally get how it could pose a quandary for moderators who are supposed to encourage forum discussions which are grounded in the material in some fashion or at least follow the forum guidelines.
