I am seeing alot of confusion over my poor use of generalities as well. Often when I am speaking in general I continue to use the word 'you', my meaning manking in general, when I should be using the word 'one' to avoid it sounding personal.
does that make sense? It is something I find hard to write out.
Even with my use of the word darkness as Oldern just pointed out. I know what I mean when I use it but obviously it does not come across the samw way to thoase who are not aware of my understanding of the word.
Most often, unless specifically for referring to the Sons of Darkness or Sons of Belial, when I use the word darkness it will be without the capital letter and referring to the cycle of darkness which is reincarnation.
So 'shining the light in the darkness' is meant to mean bringing awareness to a need to realize that we are more than the tempoary flesh to which we are so intimately attached.
And Monica you are right my dear. It is wise to make sure that people are not hurt by your terminoligies even though it is their misunderstanding that causes the problem. One must use their words carefully when touching on subjects of such intimate concerns.
And so it is best for to avoid using the words that I use in other circles when they are not understood in this circle. I continue to forget that not everyone comes to this place with backgrounds in esoteric study. It is strange to find so many understanding the complexity of the One, that does not also have prior undertsanding of the Mystery. For thosuands of years it has been the norm for a consciousness to follow a very elusive gnosis to arrive at the understanding of the One. But with today's access to mass media the Mystery is more widely revealed. We are experiencing very unique times.
