Okay, before I respond to individual things in the thread, I will put on my moderator hat. Plenum and Austin are busy with other stuff this weekend.
I cleaned up this thread, kind of. It was suggested to take the whole thread offline, which still might happened. As of now, I took out the most egregious posts, and I will go back through and reread to make sure I didn't miss anything... as always, help is appreciated. It's really sad to log in to 9 moderator reports, two posts having been reported 3 times so actually a total of 13 reports, but it's great to have feedback from other forum members on what is not appropriate - because we actually do prefer a more democratic approach, we just don't get a ton of feedback usually so we have to make decisions based on what we try to understand as being in the forum's best interests.
So, for clarification, it is NOT okay to threaten or aggressively instigate people on the forums, ever. Please don't do this. Please. If you are angry, walk away. The forums don't follow the rules of time, that's the great thing about it. For me, when things get too heated, I take a day or a few days off, until I can settle again in my orange ray and feel like I can speak with some sense of clarity and not just react out of pain. Everyone is in pain. We all need to find gentleness in this world. The point of this place is to make our best attempts to cultivate an attempt at kindness. If you don't see kindness here, one option is to leave, the other option is to attempt to inject some of your own kindness - be the change you want to see! Of course, the whole point of the game is to get us confused in the lower chakras so that making gestures of kindness can seem like a Herculean effort. I get it. But this cannot be the place where we come to take out our anger on the world. There have been many people who have been able to post and discuss their pain and anger in a constructive way with others here, so I'm not saying don't post here if you are in pain or angry. Just don't post here if you are only taking out that pain and anger on others who are posting in good faith and service.
Lots of love to everyone, I'm sincerely sorry if I've made anyone feel bad for any reason. I love this place and I love the Ra material and the Law of One, and I certainly know I could use some more wisdom. But I also know that ultimately I need more love and acceptance, because love and acceptance IS understanding. It's a hard line to walk when my yellow ray duties get in the way of offering universal love without restrictions. Like I said, it's a big trigger for me to see people obfuscating the material to confuse others into staying in the lower chakras. I'm going to work on imbuing my posts with more love, because honestly, I am projecting this dissatisfaction towards wisdom. I feel like my posts come off as too much "I know it all" energy and needs more of the love energy, this is what I would prefer for myself. So when I see myself in the mirrors around me, it's easier to articulate my grievances than when I try to pinpoint the problem within. If you don't resonate with my assessment, then you should treat my posts like I do everyone else's that don't resonate with me - projection of their own personal dissatisfaction with themselves.

There is no magic greater than honest distortion toward love.
