Quality of Life Improvement

[Nicholas]

Thank you for the supportive feedback to my comment and for the warm welcome to the forum.  I'm very new to the forum, and I was fully expecting to receive this kind of support on a regular basis from people who have made 1000's of comments.  But, for the most part, my comments have been ignored as well as the addition of my presence on the forum.  I did have someone already take a post out of context, project their issues onto my comments by misunderstanding my words, and then suggest that I was cut off from my true nature.     They did me a favor as I was tempted to react with a post defending myself, but didn't.  Instead I got my record time on my morning workout that day.  It was one of my very first posts ever and I received that from someone with 1000's of comments.  They couldn't find any truth in my post, I guess they needed to find a line or two to give them the opportunity to criticize.

One thing I do is judge a book by it's cover, knowing you can do so, but that judgment could be mistaken so don't place too much importance on it.  I look at # of posts, likes given, and likes received.  Very few people on this forum are like you, Nicholas, in that you have more than twice as many likes given than posts.  Love it!  Lots of people here have twice as many posts as likes given.  And then there is the notion that it is better to give than receive, you can see what people are really about by their behavior on the forum when they have twice as many likes received as given.  

I did notice there is an ability to ignore people completely and I've already done that with two folks.

Thank you so much for the warmth you make it very easy to see you as the Creator!  

Thank you bodhidharma,

It is important to help to create an atmosphere where, as you say, we can learn to unlearn. Likes received/given statistics can potentially be misleading though but before you have settled into this community, I realise there is little else to go on. I think more often than not when a new thread comes up, I find myself not being able to improve upon some posts. anagogy being a prime example who consistently displays a fine grasp of metaphysics. consistently insightful and respectful, so it's like like like rather than post post post lol.

And as Plenum points out in the OP (as I attempt to get back on topic), as we begin to lose faith in consensus reality and more questions arise from the answers that are given, it makes places like Bring4th all the more valuable for expressing and sharing freely. 

Awesome use of catalyst by the way. It seems you have channelled that energy wisely in your morning work out and displayed an increase in the quality of your own experience!
