A story I didn't want to share.

[Spaced]

Hello One of Love, I think your friend is very lucky to have someone like you in his life. I respect your honesty and willingness to crack the proverbial lid open and let the light in. 

This forum is a strange place. I have been around here for a long time and I used to have the energy to share my perspective more often but now I do not. It's too heavy and I got burnt out years ago, yet I'm still here aren't I? Strange that.

The Law of One still holds an important place in my heart. Would I recommend it to others? If they had expressed an interest in these kinds of philosophical topics I absolutely would. Would I recommend this forum? I would not.

I think one danger is that people connect to this material deeply and without a well developed BS meter (as you put it) and it can become an obsession. Furthermore, if they don't have the grounding of a stable "mundane" life it can lead one to be more and more disconnected from society. This forum can then substitute for that connection to society only to become an echo chamber for distorted understandings bouncing back and forth. This is not a forum full of healthy people, people here carry pain and confusion and can spread that pain and confusion to others (intentionally or not). I'm not above any of this by any stretch, I've shared some deeply confused things before and I've gotten into debates here that did nothing but spread anger and ill will. 

I think what keeps me around is that everyone was drawn here by a message of love and deep down that's what we all seek.

Anyhow, I'm not sure I have anything constructive to add other than to wish you both all the best. CA is a an intelligent and sensitive person, I hope he can find a way to live in peace.
