Quote:What matters is how much the message--however portrayed--resonated with someone who needed to read such a message in that exact configuration, at that exact moment, for their own spiritual growth or further knowing of their Self. Therefore, it doesn't matter how much "truth" truly exists in the HH message. The point is that it catalyzed someone further for their own introspection and continued spiritual growth/regression.
I disagree. As truth seekers who value honesty, we shouldn't be supportive of misleading and dishonest approaches to the truth. In reality there are many who are imbalanced, and now as a consequence, believe this fantasy side story and it only leads them further from the truth, distorting their seeking. It is what it is, and it will be catalyst for them (hopefully). Yes, I'm fine with that, but is it necessary and does this mean it is "ok"? Hardly not. If you want to speak truths you shouldn't be doing it in a dishonest fashion.
There seem to be two arguments here: Is it ok after the fact? I suppose. But was it ok in the first place? Surely it can't be.
