I find it interesting how each of us have certain experiences that are in many ways common, but because we interpret them in a slightly different manner, they are unique to us.
What I would love is to have a site where someone posts a thought or a theory, as you did, and then we can debate it - maybe growing our ideas, arguing different perspectives and conclusions. There should never be a right or wrong, just the adventure of crossing the horizon, where we can explore new levels.
Unfortunately that cannot happen here, as most posters are striving to gain rep so as to make money. It also seems true that once they have achieved what they wanted, they no longer have an interest or hunger for formulating new thoughts, in risking their beliefs in exploring other possibilities, just remaining intent in churning out whatever will keep the upvotes (and cash) coming.
It is the rare mind indeed who does not return to coccoon itself in the sterility of safety.
InDeed..When one is never trying to be Right one can then Never be Wrong...But the Comprehension comes on many Levels
Thank You Kindly
I believe that what you suggest is possible and I intend to create such a forum! I just discovered these forums and want to create a forum for the type of discussion you are suggesting. But first I am in the process of a data dump on my own blog.
I agree with you that most posters might not be interested in discussion. I don't have much time for discussion either. All my life I've fought against that "what makes you think you have something to offer" or "why should I believe you?" mentality. There are so many individuals shouting out for attention that it is easy to get lost in the crowd. Everyone thinks their own material is the best! Chuckle.
My response is a large data dump of what I consider the core teachings of the western mystery traditions which I have accumulated over the years through personal experience. That data dump is simply to create a little space for myself and a bit of credibility. That will be finished by the winter solstice. Then and only then will I try creating a forum and I won't be posting much because it will be for others. My own material won't be in the forum either. The way I look at it is that I will have my say and then I can let others have their say.
