Well, I couldn't disagree more. Brook is one of the forums most colorfully dressed jesters who has barely contributed anything worthwhile in any of my posts except mockery and jokes (at my expense - making her quite nasty).

When you can bear your soul is such fashion, and contribute something of substance ...you may gain a little respect. Until the...your full of hot are. Laugh your rear end off at this...I'm sure you will find a way to belittle it. Who am I? I am not a whistle blower, or an abductee. I have written no books on spirituality. I am not able to see in the future. I have never had any tell me I'm of another dimension or remember me from another life. Do I know these things are real?..yes I do..why? because the truth can resonate within my very being. As I'm sure it does with all here. Otherwise, why would we be here. Today I was brought to tears....why? Because I understood today there are so many hurdles mankind has to jump to get to the finish line..and collect the grand prize. I long for the day we can stand in front of each other and say we won. We worked out daily, strive to be the best. Not another in the universe can touch what we have....and what is that grand prize? ridding Mans inhumanity to man....and creating unity, love of mankind and universal compassion . the day will come..make no mistake of that...it will come... However...today I got just another taste of what we have to overcome to create that prize. We are fighting an illusion that was created to enslave us in our own passion for humanity... Today I felt the pain of someone who believes what has created the killing and wars was the very lie used to manipulate us to fight such a war. The mass illusion that one group of people can create such a thing..when in truth it is a rather small group..using us to fight ourselves. Enslave us to do their dirty work in the name of freedom, in the name of God, in the name of justice. Who am I? I'm a mother of three sons, and one grandchild. I'm a musician, I'm the one you pass at the market when shopping...I cry at sad movies, and happy endings. I'm the one you honk at at the traffic light because I'm changing the radio station and not paying attention to the light. I'm the one who can't stand to see the starving children in deprived countries. I'm the one who stood by and watched the twin towers fall in disbelief. I'm the one who watched the United States go to war for the sake of oil and power. I'm the one who woke up to the fact that it is all an illusion...one created to use us against each other. I'm the one who want's to wake up and find that the illusion is over..that mankind stood up and said ...we are through with your lies...we want only the truth and nothing else will be acceptable. We will stop working your war machine...we want nothing to do with your power agendas. we want to see the starvation end, and the suffering ended. We want the children to be nothing but loved. We hold our future dear to us and will not accept your blaintent lies. we don't care about your boarders...we care about our neighbors...we send them love. We bless them with kindness and giving. We will rebuild our future with strength of compassion. Hate is not a word we use in our vocabulary. Giving is our key to success. Then and only then will the tears I shed today turn tears of joy. Then mankind can collect the grand prize....the universal prize of humanity shedding it's mask of animal behavior.....and we will be able to join the ranks of Sharing universal love of humanity and creation throughout the universe. |

Coming from a jester? or how about a talking about a little existential Freedom.....Jester that I am this should be really funny stuff
Some of the stuff I have contributed of the over 2600 posts here..that you have decided is such a problem here Freedom and Responsibility Freedom, from an existential perspective, cannot be separated from responsibility. With freedom comes responsibility. Yet, it is common for many people to seek freedom while trying to avoid responsibility. While, at times, it appears that people may be able to succeed at this, there remains a psychological consequence. This consequence is often not very noticeable, but may find expression through guilt, anxiety, depression, or even anger. Existential freedom is not the same things as freedom in the political sense we often think of it in America. In fact, political freedom could be view to be a rather shallow, though not unimportant, type of freedom. A person can be existentially free despite not being politically free, and a person can avoid embracing their existential freedom despite being offered great political freedoms. Ways of Avoiding Responsibility There are several common examples of how people avoid responsibility in American culture. Conformity is one good example. Americans pride themselves on being autonomous individuals to the point of idealizing individualism. However, upon closer analysis, Americans find extremely creative ways of giving up their freedom. Americans conform through blind allegiance to various organizations and institutions including political parties and religious institutions. This is not to say that being dedicated to either of these are bad. In fact, often they can lead to very positive outcomes. The problem comes with blind allegiance where a person gives up their responsibility to critically think through the beliefs, perspectives, and values of the organization. When this happens, the individual's values are no longer authentic. When a person gives their allegiance to an external belief structure, they may go in one of several directions. First, they often will become very rigid in their allegiance to the organization or structure to which they have committed. This type of conformity can be seen through various forms of fundamentalism -- religious, political, psychological systems, etc. Second, they may present as being very committed to a belief systems or organization, but they feel very comfortable bending the rules where it does fit their desires. It becomes easy to bend the rules because they are not really committed to the underlying values system. However, when a person is deeply committed to authentic moral or value principles, they are less willing to act in ways which contradict these principles. The principles are authentic. Another way avoid responsibility can occur through the belief that one is powerless. There can be many factors which are seen to render a person powerless. A person can perceive themselves as a victim of their environment, of various supernatural or spiritual forces, their unconscious, or a victim of their biology/genes. While an existential approach will recognize that all of these factors may influence a person, none of them render a person powerless or completely control them. |

Truthwalker... I've read and I've read... I don't think I've seen anything of Substance
that you have Posted. Most of your excellent writing it seems has been disruptive and distracting to members of this forum. I do NOT wish to engage you. But, in MY eye's you will NOT instruct our Mods. Now, I may have been a little harsh in the past... [But, I don't think so...] I ask that You take a step back... collect your thoughts... You've seen how it works on other threads. Post something of interest to the Forum... With the clear intent of delivery of your message/Story/interests. Or, its NOT going to work. And, you will be gone. But, you may have a point to your posts [I haven't seen it yet] other than disruption. And, to insult Brook, well that's reason for you to be gone Right there, in My eye's... Fore she has brought some outstanding threads and she sure does Not need me to defend her. But, I, SEE substance to BROOKS posts... And, Humor when it is needed... Like I said... I DO NOT want to engage you.... But, I will for the Community. Trooly, Tango Quote:

TruthWalker,
I think that you have a lot to offer, and if you would add a pinch of humility to your act, you'll do great here on the forum. My humble opinion. |

A good start would be to ask moderators THEMSELVES to stop participating in off topic tangents. Moderators can't just revert to saying what ever they like just because the first line says: "Mod hat off". What's that all about? I understand that if you delete threads, people will cry foul. So I agree. But it wouldn't hurt for moderators to type once in a while: "Hey, come on people, cut it out." -- or to send the odd PM to people who blatantly insult others. Do I need to go and get examples? Last edited by TruthWalker; 12-16-2009 at 12:18 PM. Reason: typo |
