Dear Friends,
I feel it is an appopriate time to pop in and ask the members of this discussion the remember the purpose of this community, specifically as outlined by the forum guidelines. Drawing attention to the first and grandest guideline:
It is very important that members be able to share their experiences, thoughts, beliefs, and heart without coming under personal scrutiny of the community. Please keep all participation focused on the content of a post rather than the author of that content.
If there is an agreement between members to openly discuss their personal perceptions as the holder of these biases, the thread "Cognitive Distortions and Forum Relationships" has served as a catch-all for those who wish to air their feelings towards others. Please note that if someone doesn't want to enter a discussion of their personal self then the person should not be the topic for discussion.
I would also like to offer some thoughts on the nature of disagreement. The very purpose of the experiment of the veil is to allow for the illusion of creator against creator. Were we all to agree and be in harmony over every aspect of exploration and discussion, there would be very little growth to be had. This type of friction allows for a depth of personal self-exploration which is paramount to our existence in this realm.
Especially for those of positive polarity, seemingly negative catalyst is rich experience for movement of consciousness. We tend to perceive negativity more than positivity, and for a good reason. When seemingly negative catalyst may be interpreted to be positive, the bright light of the Creator shines in the darkest depths of the Creation and is known where it previously was not. We all have the opportunity and ability to allow the light of the Creator to shine through in any darkness we are experiencing.
We can't be expected to be 100% efficient in this interpretation. Our consciousness is narrowed to help us sort through the illusion piece by piece and not be overwhelmed. That which we have yet to bring light to may be projected out onto the world. For a community to thrive in the light of the Creator, personal responsibility must be taken by each member for their participation in any event, whether it is seemingly negative or positive. The idea of projection and reflection cannot be forgotten. Those upon the right-hand path "shall find many mirrors for reflection in each other-self it encounters."
There will be disharmony. There will be disagreement. We are still in 3rd density, and we still are under the influence of the veil. I trust that everyone here is doing the best that they can. My personal request is to see these perceptions of negativity and disharmony as a mirror for the self. Follow the trail of perceived disharmony inward and bring the light of the Creator with you. I believe that in doing this, disagreements may be harmonized.
Please keep the guidelines in mind while this discussion continues.

Austin
I feel it is an appopriate time to pop in and ask the members of this discussion the remember the purpose of this community, specifically as outlined by the forum guidelines. Drawing attention to the first and grandest guideline:
Quote:1) Respect. Compassion. Loving-kindness. Empathy. Trust. Goodwill. Desire to serve. Embracing each other. Opening our heart. Participants are asked to keep the thought in the forefront of their minds at all times that each on this forum IS the Creator. Please keep communication respectful at all times and in all ways. The participant may disagree to the bone with an idea without personally attacking the author of the idea. Please remember that we are all here to expand our knowledge, deepen our understanding, and support one another by reflecting our divinity to each other. We are One being -- we are not here to forget the real.
