I have observed that there is so much pomposity, arrogance and ill mannered people on fora like these. I wonder why people let their feelings get hurt so easily and feel they have to be insulting in their responses.
Children.. this is not a contest. This is a way of expressing opinions and even sometimes knowledge. To submit to the temptation to ridicule and insult is surely a sign of immaturity.

This forum, of the thousands on the internet, must be capable of a higher standard. Is this what Linda taught? I doubt it.

Just my thoughts

"Certainty is a rare and precious gem. It does not appear amongst opinions and idle thoughts. Sometimes ideas take millenia to mature. Can we resolve an idea, an issue in five days?. Can we harvest a gem in a day? Can we polish it with puerile behavior?"

hmmm...interesting perspective. I seem to have come to the opposite conclusion for this particular website.

This website contains a collection of some of the most kind, openminded, nonoffensive, "spiritually maturing" people I have yet to have had the pleasure of dialoguing with.

There are always going to be differences, but that is beautiful. It is beautiful to have differences. We learn through difference.

So please do not take offense, we mean you no harm! Experience the Love in this forum!
Open to it!

Walk in Peace

Hi Merlyn

I am so very sorry you feel that way. This is indeed a place of loving and spiritual quest. Each person is just at a different level. But everyone seems to be open and receptive to each other and this is the joy of LindaLand.
I think some just get so passionate about the belief they are holding today. That will change, as the only thing constant is change. (good old I Ching) When someone finds a new belief to take the place of a worn out or no longer true belief, I sometimes think, they get so caught up in it they can't see the forrest for the trees. And that is OK. It is what makes each and everyone of us unique and keeps it interesting. Not all of us are at the same stage in life. Oooh, that wouldn't be fun!!
What a delight when you came along. Your posts are refreshing and full of information, not only are you teaching us, but I hope we are teaching you. I think that is what it is all about, the bottom line. Love of fellow man, love of knowledge, love of truth. Just plain old LOVE. Perhaps I am blind, but I just don't see any pomposity or arrogance, just a lot if individual people with some prominent planets in expressing their views. I think Linda would have loved this. I know she would have loved what you are here to teach us. Perhaps she guided you here. I wouldn't be a bit surprised. You know she never finished her Twelfth Night Secrets and maybe with your remote viewing you can help bring that to a conclusion. Oh boy, would that make a lot of us happy!!
I like the way you communicate, it is clear, kind, gentle and informative. Keep up the good things.

Ra and Nephthys You two are so right on.

Donna

Hmmm.. did I detect a bit of sarcasm in those posts?


How could I be offended? Nothing was directed at me, so I doubt that I was offended

You are such a wonderful peacemaker. I delight in your answers. As a fellow care-giver ( not a professional as you are ) I can see you are gifted with the desire to heal , not just the physical.

Donna...

What a joy if everyone on the internet were as civil as you are. Thanks for the kind words. Now that I am in the winter of my life here, I seek peace more than anything else. As an old warrior, I still know how to take a stance however.
The trick is in the balance, isn't it?
I have heard it said that it would be dull if everyone were the same. Not for me! I would opt for a world full of well-mannered people who respect each other and respect the elderly (the Chinese say that when u reach 80 you may advise the emperor).
Maybe I should go to China
Maybe not.
In my world 21 year old girls would not lecture 65 year old men.
