A proposal

[xise]

I have to agree with Jade that in my recent return to the forum there seems to be a lot of purposely distorted views of the material, which is quite obvious to tell because there is not even an attempt to use www.lawofone.info and search for the relevant passages; instead there seems more of the desire to just post stream of consciousness thoughts without significant care for what the material says on the subject.

Is it a prerequisite to follow the material and refer to passages of it? I have read the first 2 books. I bought the other 3 but have not read them yet. I do not scour the website and read and reread like a Christian does the bible. I don't need to keep referring to someone else's words or any channeled material to make up my mind about things or to discuss topics. I resonate with the Ra Material. I don't resonate with Q'uo for the most part. Does that make me a bad member?

If all the members here just revolved around one doctrine, and took Ra's words as the ultimate truth, then what?

If I, not being a follower, even of the Law of One or Ra or any other philosophy, do not really belong in this place because members should pivot around one philosophy or doctrine, then so be it. I thought it was enough to be interested in the material. I wasn't aware one had to take it as dogma.

Not sure where we came to anyone being a bad member, but I am just making an observation: I've recently returned in the past three months. The forum discussion several years ago - we're talking 3-4 years - I observed was much more grounded in the material. My observation may be inaccurate, as it's only a small snapshot in time, and I definitely didn't go over all the posts made in this three month period.

And I think I put a judgmental tone on my last post for which I'm sorry for; I'm still working on integrating catalyst regarding those who consciously claim to "want to heal" or "want to learn" (or teach) but whose true desire seems to be more to explore distortion or confusion (definitely not you Diana). It's definitely a long-standing lesson of mine.
