This thread has both inspired and troubled me deeply. GW_V's post(s) lays the whole concept of duality clearly and concisely out there "on the table" for all of us to read, including the distortions that are being made by this community and other "new age" communities. The responses are what trouble me. This clearly exposes the rampant distortions that are present within the members of this community. This place is arguably the most positively oriented community existing on this planet at this time, yet it is not without distortion.
One of these distortions is taking the concept of finding love in every single action that is made way too far. There is no love in the mind of the murderer committing the heinous act or in the action of a brutal murder itself. There may be love as a result of this murder in the bringing together of the ones left alive in a learning experience, but the act itself was not necessary in the first place and there is no beauty or love in it. I think people are lumping in the action with the reaction together here.
I have thought nearly precisely the same thoughts that GW_V has put into his(their?) poignantly worded message in regards to people glorifying and cherry-picking negative ideals and weaving them together with STO concepts into a convoluted, distorted web of STO and STS distortion. To see my thoughts reflected months later perfectly reflected in GW_V's post confirm this notion.
I am not trying to hurt anyone's feelings with this post, I just think its a very important concept for everyone to at least consider. Weaving STS ideals in with STO ideals and presenting it as STO not good for any parties involved, save maybe for STS disincarnate entities hoping for situations like this.
