What's the Point of Jim McCarty?

[Sacred Fool]

JW,

I have the same observation as you do.

I am actually very curious how a topic talking about Jim would belong to strictly Law of One material. And the OP content most definitely doesn't belong to this section though the replies from others are (Aion, your deep dive into LOO materials are always a treat to me).  

Hi, Scah.  Well, I thought about where to put this thread.  It could have gone into the Spiritual Developement category, but it is highly specific to the developement of the LOO material, so I filed it there.  Is that really a transgression of such magnitude to warrant such a cranky response?  That's your call, I suppose, but I feel no remorse.

Personally, I find this discussion, especially the OP from Peregrine very much against LOO material where time and time again LOO indicates that EVERYONE is Creator and that there are potential serious distortions when an individual Entity is idolized and worshiped. Though the OP hasn't come to the degree of worshiping, there are definitely signs of the beginning of some serious idolizing.

I think it's a distortion to say that I'm idolizing Jim in a literal sense.  If you want to look at this way, I would say he's a good role model in some respects, and if you disagree with that, have at it.  What I say about him takes nothing away from anyone else, so far as I can see.  If I'm wrong about that, please show me where you think I crossed the line.  

All that said, I was, in part, reacting to what I see as people using Carla and Don as role models for them, and I was throwing this out for the sake of some sort of balance.  But I'm not staking out a partisan position for the "Jim Camp," so far as I can tell.  If you noticed, the discussion has not moved along such lines at all.

And as you have mentioned, on top of Peregrine trying to distract and veil this through fine articulation and poetic language when others responding to the thread gently points this out in various way, the tone and content of Peregrine's replies to others fall directly under Peregrine's own definition of "de-tuning". It's very baffling to me why this is happening.

In my view, other-self, it's BS to say I'm distracting and veiling. Please support your accusations with factual evidence.  At the same time, don't expect me to sing the same note all the time, for that just ain't my style.  If you pay attention, the tenor and tone of my responses to people can vary greatly according to the context. For instance, when I think someone is way out of line or rude or abusive, etc., I may respond in a different manner than I would to someone asking a question or sharing an experience.

I can't help but wondering what is happening. Peregrine started a discussion that if the forum should be closed due to digression and "De-tuning" and while that conversation is still going on, Peregrine did the exact things that Peregrine has the most concern about.

See comment above.

JW thank you for sharing your observation. I thought I was the only person with this observation.

And of course all of these are just my observations through my own perspective. I sincerely want to be wrong about this.

Be well.
