It can be shallow and effectively act like a sheet of positive thinking over a lake of catalyst/raw truth. In addition, the world today after two+ years of nonsense by those attempting to control the world (sounds melodramatic but I don't think it is) does highlight the need to look beyond the surface where some ugly truths may lie—and then decide, after facing the truth, what to do about it if anything. In any case, what we do and all that flows from us as individuals is our own responsibility and we are accountable to it.
Ha, I resemble this remark sometimes. Words are insufficient to capture the spiritual topics discussed here, so our words may come off as overly-simplistic, saccharine, naive or even avoidant.
For example, there is no way I can begin to articulate the majesty, the sacredness, the wholeness I feel when I am in my garden watching a tiny lizard on a plant, or the vibrant green leaves wave against the bright blue sky and wispy clouds. I can't even put it into words for myself, much less others. I just sink into and soak up this experience.
The actual experience is so much bigger than the words "walk in nature" can capture. They just don't do it justice ... it is the nature of language to be approximations and representations.
When I write about me seeking love in the moment, these words are an over-simplification of what's going on within/about me.
Also, I think I put on a good face ... for me. There's a matter of privacy and also some sense of not subjecting either of us to the "undesirable" me, whatever that is in the moment.
Diana, you could be on to a larger topic here.
I'm thinking about this in terms of the future for this community, not just those of us here on the B4 forum, but the larger Law of One community. So, I will continue what I have to say on the "alternative options" ...
