About Social Values-coufused

I might challenge this by offering that wealth; ease of existence; and opportunity for power; combined with a high regard for the health of the physical body as a recipe for "charisma" is not the definition of charisma. A total sloth, devoid of personality and charm, and altogether a despicable individual, may exhibit all of the above, and be barren of charm or charisma. One such as described above may in fact repel rather than attract, and yet obtain and possess all of the wealth, ease of existence; and opportunity for power; combined with a high regard for the health of the physical body, as the mark explicitly defined by Ra as that of a potential STS, not as one for a signifier of charisma.

True, and one could take eggs, flour, oil, sugar and chocolate and make a great mess, but add in a little time and care, and one easily comes up with cake. Now, given the ingredients above, I propose that an entity interested in domination and control of others (especially) is much more likely to look tempting, shall we say, than sloth-like.

Were this true, as you seem to agree, then it stands to reason that he (STS'er in question) might in fact then be more than hard to miss as you stated in the earlier post, he would be impossible to recognize if so desired, and missed with intent altogether.

On the contrary, I said, and maintain, that they would stand out even in a crowded room, as would a harvestable STO entity. I'm merely questioning your assertion that you've never met one. I still propose that "a significant number of people in the public eye, as it were, are such harvestable STS entities." And I suggest that one can detect them with a discerning eye.

Here I agree to some extent, with exceptions. One following one's path of the light needn't fear or disparage his brethren following his path of darkness, as this would be contrary to STO in any case. But he may choose very strongly to avoid, perhaps as a result of the diverse paths walked as a consequence, as much as he may pity (love) for the choice his darker brethren makes as regards the often less than loving consequences to his fellow brethren, who the STO'er would pity (love) , as much as (love) pity the STS'er for having inflicted and chosen same. As STO, what other choice may he offer himself?

I'm not sure that I follow your point of exception here, but I would offer the observation that the opposite of "love" is not "pity", as you seem to imply, it is "fear".

These conversations make for grand points I think,and I thank you 3D humbly for engaging in them.

Best regards my new friend. May we sharpen our minds, while softening our hearts, as we increase in our understanding.

Q

Perhaps, but I think we lost track of the original points of the thread in our verbal tennis match, which I am happy to concede at this point, as it seems that all the points are made and I'm not keeping score. As I recall, our original tangent was on the topic of karma. Is that exhausted as well? If so, then let us return to the questions of qqliudl.

Your humble servant,
