There is ever believers and non-believers, skeptics and supporters, doubters and those with faith and a whole myriad middle spectrum of uncertainty, disinterest, indifference, curiosity, amusement, compassion, disregard, enthusiasm, etc, etc.
This topic in particular seems to breed this conflict because of the "fantastic"ness of what is being expressed.
There is where the root of the issue is I think. Not only this particular instance but it's been a growing uneasiness that I have felt in here during this time of tumultuous interactions. It's a growing divide over those who have taken to the path of the adept and those that aren't. The question is why?
Is it because some lack the faith to accept/believe that some truly are on a magical path causing cynism? Could it be the way that this info is being presented and projected is causing catalyst for those that still need to work on acceptance? Or could it be an underlying feeling of envy that others seem to be "more advanced" therefore "better" which point to a personal catalyst of self acceptance/self esteem or lack thereof?
Do I think some of the experiences that I read on here are sometimes hard to believe? Sure considering the ongoing battle I have with my intellect but that doesn't mean I automatically nix the idea of it actually being true. I just sit back, take it in and realize that I have to accept that which they have written since I can and will never know if they are telling the truth or living a life of delusion. More importantly, it's not for me to judge whether it's true because ultimately, what I think matters not in the grand scheme of life. This doesn't mean that I would berate or interrogate those that post such fantastical posts either. I just accept it though it's still a work in progress as it's apparent that it is also for many others.
People pour their hearts out on here about issues that would condemn them to a life of ridicule in the "real world" so this place must preserve that atmosphere of protection and acceptance or this entire board is all for naught in the eyes of the LOO. This is supposed to be a place where one can pry open their souls and reveal whatever form they are comfortable in at that moment whether it's free spirit, magi, channeler, psychic, or simply a Being.
What this ultimately has done is created a wonderful catalyst for all of those involved. We should collectively learn from this and improve upon whatever personal catalyst this has created to become a more harmonious community united in our goals to live a life according to the LOO or as close as we possibly can within this density.
