Especially in a semi-public forum.It seems counter-intuitive to your stated goal of intellectualizing about spiritual concepts to then recommend to someone whose distortion is different than yours to simply not engage with you. You are the one saying, "this is a semi-public forum". It's true. That means everyone may have to engage with someone whose energy, vibration, and beliefs don't match the ones they hold. Why do you feel the best solution is to recommend they don't engage with you?
This is a forum, where we are using words to discuss spiritual topics. It is not helpful for you to recommend "getting out of one's head" in a discussion forum. This is most definitely an appropriate place for people to intellectualize about spiritual concepts, and I'm sure with a little reflection, you would agree.
If the topic at hand is uncomfortable for you, I would suggest finding something more amenable to your own vibrations.
Moreover, I didn't ask for (nor do I require) your approval of the information I seek, nor did I ask for your advice on how to best grow spiritually, myself.
I understand these can be difficult topics to navigate, what with all the psychological triggers and projections we have to contend with. Still, if you are unwilling to stick to the topic at hand, and keep your personal judgments to yourself, then I will ask you to refrain from posting in threads that I start.
This thread appears to be completely on topic to me. It is not a thread about you personally, but about a question you presented as a discussion topic. Even though that question may resonate personally in your life, the question is not you, and someone's thoughts on the topic are not a personal judgement of you but instead a personal reflection of them and their distortion. I see no problem with Agua's thinking or your thinking. I see no problem with getting uncomfortable to explore a concept if we are with it to learn and lift each other up.
Peace, ya'll! Peace.
