As such, to explain, repeatedly, ad infinitum, to an entity who is not calling for help, who is not calling for that perspective, is to tread perilously close to the territory wherein a perspective is thrust upon another entity unwillingly and most unhelpfully.
People ask for help in different ways, and not all of them are verbal. People are free to reject my message if they want, I don't force anything on anyone. I don't force feed my message down peoples throats like many activists do. I've simply been responding to the people who engage my posts for the most part. If somebody doesn't want my input, they need only stop engaging my posts.
It is that simple. Keep in mind were are in a thread titled, "You create your reality." Do you expect me to talk about ponies?

For the nature of their calling and the proper blend of love and wisdom that is thus called for may not be whatever has been useful in the past for the particular entity who hears the calling.
Again, I haven't forced my message on anyone. I'm simply responding to you people who keep engaging my posts. And also, keep in mind that you are not the supreme high chancellor and decider of what every body is looking for, so while my message not be for you, someone else might welcome this truth wholeheartedly. Again, I'll repeat, I have forced nothing on anyone.
Every being receives exactly what they need, because that is the nature of distortion, or karma. It attracts those requisite lessons that will serve to eventually ameliorate those distortions.
Hello Anagogy,
My first paragraph speaks specifically to the analogy that was given.
My second paragraph concerns an incompatibility between the analogy and the assertions made concerning the nature of service.

If people don't want to accept that, that is their choice, and I hope they are happy with it. I prefer a more empowered perspective.
The ideas shared earlier concerning whether it is advisable to explore race, sexuality, and so on, and to what extent this can be done before the viewer sees more dissimilarities between entities than similarities, and the evaluation of the modern phenomenon of what have been called Social Justice Warriors, are indeed complex proposed corollaries to the principle that an entity creates their own reality. As such they are subject to hearty debate even if each entity within the discussion subscribes to the principle of the entity who creates their own reality.
