You talk too much; from your walls of text to this latest rambling of how you are a liar and a good one and how it is beneficial for someone who walks on the narrow path. No! You what is good? THE TRUTH AND TRANSPARENCY and to lead others by example. You do not have to be perfect but to claim that lying, defensive lying, is part of the path??? Are you insane? You are insane and your mouth is your own worst enemy. WOW. No one follow that example. I may have harsh words for reality but I would never say to anyone who travels the narrow path to lie. DO NOT lie, be honest in all of your dealings! There is something so weak about this entire discourse. If I were you (and I am glad I am not), I would stop speaking to this person. Not that there is something incorrect in what they say but because your are leaking precious energy and now you are in a word trap. Nice. And too naive to even know it. You think you are wise and smart when it comes to this stuff but look @ what you have written and look at this discourse, this game you are playing and you are losing. But oh no....you think; "I know what I am saying, I am good and the Creator so nothing can bother me". But I promise you are on the losing end already. Words....shhhhhhh stillness; regroup
Ok, I have some time to properly answer you now.
"Talking too much", I have no expectation of privacy. I am an open book by choice. I expose myself transparently on purpose and knowingly. It looks like I am giving them a knife and presenting my neck. Yet via this online forum, it becomes an opportunity for innocence and openness to come out unblemished from contact with that which is not. I am providing the ammo myself and yet nothing hits the mark. It may not look like it from your PoV, but in my heart I am unfazed by these attacks. Although, like Sacred Fool, I am looking for more depth from such exchanges and find myself a bit disappointed.
The STS person sees this as a contest of course and will proceed to "win". But I am not playing in order to win mind games. Winning for me will look like losing to them. So I guess we both win then ?

"I would stop speaking to this person. Not that there is something incorrect in what they say but because your are leaking precious energy"
Yes, when the interaction enters the caricature that it did, I no longer see the point. It would indeed be a waste of energy.
"naiveté"
I wish I could show you how I feel. You would have no worries for me.
It might be called naiveté, but I prefer calling it foolishness. However, this innocence is not done out of martyrdom. There is purpose, which I do not feel the need to be completely aware of.
"wise and smart"
You should know how I see myself by now. Should I bring back the red nose clown avatar ?

The way I see the world and its purpose is very simple, but it seems I can never explain it satisfactorily. Let's see if I can let the Confederation speak on it for a second or two.

Quote:No one can do more than experience the fringes of the true kingdom and power and glory of love in its fullest sense. Those who feel they have the same chance of doing so as the Creator Itself have fallen into the trap of pride. Those who surrender the jar to be hollowed out and made transparent are those in whom the manifestation of love may not end, but continue infinitely. This process of choosing a way of manifesting an instinct which is inherent to all is entirely up to you. That you choose to seek in this mystery of the finite and the infinite is the cornerstone of all spiritual seeking, the bedrock of the spiritual life.
Quote:The final goal of all of these true spiritual paths is humility and a willingness to surrender that clay, the pride, the arrogance, the unworthiness and fear, to surrender all these emotions utterly to the power and peace of knowing that you are love. This you can know only by faith
Quote:In all humility surrender that finite self and seek the jewel within, asking it, as you would ask your most beloved self in its deepest aspect, to show itself as it will, to speak as it will. This attitude shall bring about within you that attitude which you seek, the attitude which seeks to be of service in any situation.
