Thank you dear @indigoocean for your wonderful comment. I have been busy the past days, but better late then never... :)
I totally understand, that this shift in perspective is not an easy one. Luckily it's our only real job here. :)
It basically comes down to as who or what we perceive ourselves to be.
When we see ourselves as a human body, we are practicing what ACIM calls "forgiveness-to-destroy", trying to oversee what has happened and making it real. On the other hand, if we see, that forgiveness is in the Mind and has nothing to do with bodies (which happens automatically when we don't see ourselves as one), we become mind-full again.
Yes, it needs practice and our little willingness to change our teachers from the world of ego to the one of spirit. Much Love! <3

Yes, better late than never indeed. I can tell you're busy these days because your posting is so infrequent now. With all the changes of the recent HF, let me just say that finding you early on when I first joined this place was a huge part of why I've ultimately become successful on here. You and one other person really made this something I could see was going to work for me, someplace I could have meaningful conversations about things I care about, and also earn in the process. It was because of the two of you that I was even willing to invest in STEEM early on enough to be able to get traction on here even faster. Thank you so much for just being here. I hope however busy you get, you'll still be able to keep posting some. Your presence is a gift.
Aww, thank you so much! Yes, I will continue to write here, even though with the price decrease of Steem the interaction also are minimal at the moment.
I still love the community here and the basic idea, but I have to admit, that I don't like the direction Steemit Inc. is taking. First I thought, that SMTs are a great idea, but then I realized, that EOS, Tron or even Ether and many others who are specialized as blockchains for Tokens and blockchainOS can do a way better job. Steemit should focus on their USP which is to become the worlds most successful social media and blogging site running on a blockchain. These goals are not possible to achieve at the same time, since one focuses first on B2B and the other on B2C. This is like Facebook wanting to launch their own OS for PCs in 2006. They would have failed - with both goals.
So I'm very skeptical about their business decisions and doubt that they will be able to succeed against EOS and Tron.
Then I also have to admit, that I made a big mistake in powering up so much Steem in a extensive bear market. Beginning of the year I was not clear about the fact, that in crypto you have to be able to go into Tether and back quickly to ride the waves. To have to wait for 13 weeks to get your Steem liquid again has killed a huge part of my funds. I won't make this mistake again. Also here, with EOS and Tron you have your funds frozen for 3 days and can make them liquid again, which is by far the longest I want my funds frozen.
So to sum it up, I will continue to write because I like the community here (at least the ones who haven't left), but I will not power up again and watch the next moves of Steemit Inc - only I sense, that they are moving into a wrong direction and making themselves obsolete. Time will tell....
Thank you for your presence here too @indigoocean - you are a bright light and I have to find the time to catch up with some of your recent posts - maybe on the weekend...
Much love!
