I am grateful for the compliment!

If it's a distortion, then it's the one distortion which we need to increase in order to progress spiritually. This we accomplish by accepting, loving and balancing other distortions within us, the ones that keep us in the sinkhole of indifference by making some of our choices and actions STO but others STS - one step forward, one step back. (Including, for the purposes of this thread, distortions that lead us to engage in control-based games, sexual or otherwise).
Our goal is a return to unity - the ultimate harmony - and we can only get there by "ironing out" the disharmonies within us - through loving, accepting, and balancing (I prefer healing) them.
One can say that -- in fact, that is what I was saying. Whether you think my statement contains meaning or not is entirely up to you, Stranger, and not a fight I have a dog in. I totally see how my statement could irk somebody setting a goal for themselves to return to ultimate unity and harmony.
I just think the personality constructs we inhabit in third density are not designed to meet that total goal in this lifetime. So there's no reason, in my opinion, to judge our progress by that measure. It's better, in my opinion, to understand distortion qua distortion than to understand distortion only in terms of how far it is from some imagined ideal. But that's just my approach, and I don't share my approach in order to preclude others finding what works for them.
Thanks for the comment!
