Firstly all, thank you for the genuine and thoughtful responses. Please forgive me if I miss or exclude responding to all posts immediately.

When it comes to giving advice, I have found a method of effecting thought without imposing my will upon others. I very often use quotes, online, when in person, and with groups. I many years ago mastered how and when to speak so that when I do speak, people listen. It's an acquired art, and here I over-simplify and leave things out of course; speak little, using timing and voice to draw attention when speaking. If one only speaks when there is silence, you are assured a captive audience. Of course, one must always be sure of their words and thoughts for this to work, for one mis-spoken word is all it takes to be thought a fool. "Better to keep one's mouth shut and be thought a fool than open it and remove all doubt" .
Using quotes allows people to think about what I have said on their terms, and as thus the original thought (quote) is empowered, allowing less focus in my direction, and more on the thought process itself. I use quotes the way Jesus used parables (though I am not comparing myself to Jesus here, only the method). People don't require such simple stories (parables) nowadays now in this time where everything is now now now.
I was in the army for eight years and have been on many "treks" in unknown territory. Knowledge and discretion are wonderful tools.
My personal motto since I was about 30 has been:
Honesty, Decency, Respect.
That shall never change.

I have black and brown hair, a brilliant red beard, a blond moustache, and now a great deal of grey hair intermixed with all that. The grey started in at about 26.

If you're having a bad day everyone around you is having one as well. If you give advice, they may take it as a command. "How can this radiant being be wrong? It surely knows better than ME how to live my life."Brother, I have had this effect my whole life. People have either loved me or feared me. The older I get though, the more they love me and the less anyone fears me. When I walk through crowds I feel like Moses parting the Red Sea. People just move. When I walk into a room, people stop what they are doing and look at me. Because of this I learned though many years ago to become "invisible" to people if I desire so, and have had people sit on me or walk into me, in wonderment of where I came from. I learned to do this shortly after being visited by a small silver fox when I stopped my truck on a road in the wilderness of the far north.

If you develop power, you'll radiate his aura. What are you going to say? That you're not Jesus? He won't believe you, some of these guys see things. Are you going to pretend to be Jesus?I've had many people do this, both when they knew me and being picked out in crowds, though they have never asked if I were Jesus, but if I were an angel. I usually tell them, lowering my eyes humbly, "I am but a child of god just as you are" in a calm and reassuring voice, and with a smile, and they have always been satisfied with that. They get to leave with a warm fuzzy feeling and no one gets let down. The logical mind accepts the answer.

Learning to be a good listener is a skill we all can all use

The thing is you're saying there is no problem. But there are problems and you will encounter them. This is not a reason not to proceed. But it isn't something to take lightly either.I do not take this lightly brother, not in any sense. I am being ever so careful and ensuring I will be able to run before I walk, for walking is the stride required. Slow and steady wins the race, for there is no rush in perfection.

I'm not calling you fools. I'm just asking you to be careful.

Accept it and grow more powerful until you can...I'm in no rush. When the time is right, what will be so will be so. Until then we all grow in love and light.

I didn't have it, I was practically suicidal, I would never knowingly hurt anyone not now, not then, but I had no issues with putting myself in harms way. I told you in other threads about some of the stupid things I did. I'm not worried about you guys getting hurt, you probably will have some bumps and bruises but that's only a healthy part of this, what doesn't kill us makes us stronger and it's really not that dangerous that I fear for your wellbeing. It's like going on a long survival trek in unknown terrain with only a compass to guide you. Be careful and you'll be fine.
