A1, exactly.
The fear based presentation of any information should be avoided.
As for "dismissing", when challenged instead of qualifying the claims the OP just attacked at a personal level, why discuss things with a someone who is not willing to listen? Is he participating in the thread now? No, so his claims can't be expanded or justified, all we are left with is an unfalsifiable claim based on fear.
I mean, read this
And of course we can't forget the "I'm so advanced spiritually that if you don't agree with me you lack my metaphysical prowess"
And last but least the ol' self righteous us vs. them mentality

Quote:Here we have BrownEye, Godwide_Void, Parsons, and perhaps A1 (in the past) claiming to have some anecdotal experience seemingly all related to this phenomenon.I was going to make the same post as the OP 9 months ago as Aloysius. Like I said, you grow out of things and past perspectives look as zm said " utterly obsolete and child like". People want to be prophets and the OP has in the past jumped to fantastical notions and shown enthusiasm to frame things in a transcendent way before.
Quote:Do we call the weatherman a fear-monger for offering us awareness of an impending tornado?Well a weatherman is qualified to make those claims as he has studied meteorology (or is at least informed by people who have and do) and is employed to inform the public of the weather conditions and is not going by unspecified "spiritual guidance". I'm not taking you too literally here it's just that so many bad analogies get thrown around like they make sense when they don't and are just tools of persuasion.

Quote:Blaming others for mishaps in one's life rather than taking responsibility is of course immature, except when psychic sorcery/remote negative influencing are at play.What we have is a regression rather than progression.

Quote:Sorry if you lack reliable guiding forces or don't possess the psychical capacity to detect wolves in sheep's clothing. I have no enemies other than those whose pompous arrogance is glaring and whose propensity towards adversarial modes of action and intention towards others exists, specifically when such individuals possess a certain degree of spiritual awareness.

Quote:They are essentially STS. Some even masquerade as STO to keep up appearances and public acceptance. Some STS individuals don't take kindly to the idea that there exist some whose metaphysical prowess may surpass theirs exponentially.
