Thank you Emerald. I am a long time lurker and have resonated with your writings. |
Mission?
Oh dear me, no, surely. A bunch of missionaries emerging? Are you all about to take off, proselyting away, converting us who don't even recognise a twin-flicker let alone flame down here on our zero-D world, to your new religion? And what happens when the contention starts? I've seen so many varieties of twin-flamery here that it's already breaking into sects. (I'm no sects-maniac be assured but it rather obviously stares one in the face.) What of us born with souls intact? Those among us who are responsible for our individual development? Those who want love and enjoining without mirrors, without someone else sparking us like some battery-powered fire-lighter? Or are we now "the other side" - potentially punishable as heretics? |

Yes, I just noticed. Please forgive my seeming negligence. I should get the habit of looking at the PM notifier at the top, something I'm lacking. It's been fairly chaotic and I really should be organising work over these days, not being here! Well, believe or not, I'm suspicious of missionaries! Their aim is to convert rather than point to signposts on the paths to help someone find their own way! My parents tell me about the 1960s when people were encouraged to "drop out" (I think the term was) and young as they were, they suddenly found themselves without the means to survive too easily (down here in three-D, LOL). Not quite the same but when you read here of some of the problems this faith causes you wonder who's going to be left out on a limb. Only a few people were born with incomplete souls. :smile: |

I believe youngsters and/or schools are the best for stirring up societal, large scale changes. Because people are concerned about their offspring. No one listens to adults complaining at the work floor. No one gives a sh**. But when it comes to our kids... Then everyone gets concerned and starts to think "What can we do to change this? How can we get them interesting in studying again?" They try to get them back into the existing mould only to find out it doesn't work. In the end the mould gets adjusted to suit the youngsters. That's how we get change, and growth. So if in the 60s you suddenly had large groups of young adults without a means to make a proper living. Yes, that must have stirred up things real good! I'm certain it brought about a lot of change for the better (in the long run). |
Lol... this mission talk... reminds me of my cult - hood days from childhood.

I feel like an overlooked part of mission besides template clearing and transmuting the cr.ap is to simply love ourselves and others just as we are...
Religion stuffs alot of messages up... one being that we are perfectly lovable imperfect beings. |

I like the way that you have put this and yes it's the way it is. Could have used this to describe something else that I mentioned on another thread. Only just noticed it though. |
