Well, it seems to me that kimberleys' reaction/response to 9eagle9 was based upon a preconcieved notion that 9eagle9 had wronged her in some way, shape or form, and thereore was in need of her forgiveness.Posted by 9eagle9 (here)
Anyone care to take a stab at what just occurred in that conversation?
Forgiveness for what exactly we cannot be fully certain, because kimberley (for the time being at least) has chosen not to acknowledge 9eagle9s' request for further clarificaation on the matter.
IMHO kimberley made the offer (most likely unconsciously) in an attempt to take power away from 9eagle9 so she could transfer it unto herself... which in essence is really just a subtle form of passive-agressive energy vampirism.
Kmberleys' offer of forgiveness (in my mind) was basically a request for 9ealge9 to agree to having her energy stolen... masked under the guise of a pure gesture of unconditional love and compassion.
If 9eagle9 was to accept kimberleys' offer she would effectively be entering into an agreement with kimberley where the underlying premise was that 9eagle9 required forgiveness for a wrong she had committed against kimberley.
In this instance 9eagle9 was wise to kimberleys' game (a game that kimberley herself probably had no conscious awareness she was even playing), as such 9eagle9 rejected kimberleys' offer based on the fact that no evidence had been provided to suggest that any wrong-doing on her part had actually taken place and therefore no requirement for forgiveness was necessary.
In all honesty, I suspect kimberleys' only grievance with 9eagle9 is that (in the past) she has often called kimberley (as well as numerous others) out when they have demonstrated this type of behaviour, and I think because of that 9eagle9 has become somewhat of a thorn in kimberleys' side.
Peronally, I think kimberleys' reaction in this conversation stemmed from her annoyance with 9eagle9 who regularly points this sort of behaviour out when she observes it. When someone does that to another it exposes a part of themselves that they don't like to look at and don't want others to see. Thus, they typically become defensive and start looking for subtle (and often underhanded) ways to defend themselves without drawing further attention to what they were REALLY doing (consciously or not)... attempting to steal another persons power/energy.

Kimberley, if you're reading this, I hope you understand thiat my comments here were not meant to be viewed or perceived as a personal attack against you. They are simply representative of my own personal observations regarding the conversation you were quoted in that kristin posted above. I acknowledge the fact that I have had to make quite a few assumptoins about your motives and intentions and that I may have misinterpreted them somehow. Regardless, this was how I personally saw the situaion and my intention was not to try and sugar coat anything because that's not waht this thread is about.
P.S. I am quite willing to admit that I (and most likely every other person on this thread) have been directly responsible for the vampirisation of another persons' energy. Having said that, the entire purpose of this thread is for us to observe and discuss this phenomenon so we can start taking action to minimise and/or eliminate this practice from mainfesting itself in our daily lives. I hope you are able to understand that this is not personal.
