My Awakening. Or Grand Delusion. You Choose.

[yossarian]

I appear to recall, somewhere in the depths of my being, a type of existence where this does not occur. As such, confusion is confusing to me.

...

But, might I add, in an environment such as this web forum which was created with the intention of seekers having the opportunity to share ideas and collaborate with one another- that is would be highly preferable for all to "assume good faith" with respect to other's posts, and to refrain from derailing threads when their personal issues get triggered. I count myself among those who would benefit from keeping this in the forefront of their mind.

We could create this forum. It would require behavioural ground rules that are clear enough to be publicly agreed on from a 3d logical point of view. The rules would be stuff like refraining from personal comments unless personal comments are the topic of a particular thread, for instance.

This would improve the quality of the forum when it comes to discussions of concepts and could avoid all the derailing into personal issues.

But then it would be a different forum, and perhaps not as useful catalyst.

It's arguable that those highly disturbing personal drama issues, while not being the most fun thing on Earth, are the most spiritually valuable and the best catalyst. Even though they get in the way of truth seeking.
