Without the freedom to challenge, the incarnation is ruled completely by hunches and intuition while wisdom is left by the wayside. Quo says to challenge. Jesus says to challenge. I'll assume that Ra did as well, although I do not remember off the top of my head.
What happens when you challenge? The teacher steps up. If you don't challenge the teacher, the teacher gets very lazy. How would you like to be guiding someone that never asked why? Someone that just follows you blindly. Blind faith leads to blindness. Questioning opens up infinity.
May I ask what you feared? It seems to me that this forum is developing spiritually at a much slower pace than many of it's former members... (that tend to come back and bla bla bla for a bit)
You are right about "challenging" in the context of spiritual material but I was refering to how it was previously used in the thread which I don't think it was what it was refering to.
I do believe the student must challenge the teacher. I would also say that to teach you must learn and to learn you must teach. You say you want to teach, then what is it you are learning?
I do not fear the content of this thread it appears to me like it has not even begun. I see no point in talking about what could happen when nothing has happened. If this thread is judged as not serving the forums the option to take it down is never far away. However I don't think anything of that sort manifested yet, only the apparent need for control that many are tied to. I prefer just discussing what it is you want and see what happen from there.
