The undeniable truth of Darkness and STS

[Monica]

Not sure if I felt imposed upon, but what I did react at was, a trap, and I didn't see it. I didn't get it. I was blind to it. When it was discovered, I got shocked that any member on this forum would go into such extremities in order to spread their philosophy. :exclamation:

Hmmm....I continue to marvel at how different people perceive the same actions in different ways. I can understand that, since you perceived Shin'Ar's actions as setting a trap, that you would understandably be bothered by that.

I didn't perceive Shin'Ar's actions as setting a trap. I didn't perceive any ill intent on his part at all; rather, I perceived a genuine desire to serve, which didn't work out very well because of the differences in approach and viewpoints, as I explained in my previous couple of posts. But I have myself fallen prey to other kinds of traps. The most common one I've fallen for is when people ask for help when they really don't want help, and our efforts end up getting sucked into black holes. I've gotten sucked into that one many times! Maybe someday I will learn to recognize that pattern.

In most cases, the person meant well but just had issues and blockages, and the appropriate response is love combined with wisdom.

Perhaps, in this case, it too calls for more wisdom on both sides, but there was no malevolent intent, as far as I can tell.

That is why I wrote in that post, that maybe Shin'Ar does teach us, but not in the ways that he tells us that he teaches.

Is that not true for us all?

Yes it is. Working on it. /

As we all are!
