If this was me self reflecting on my own words, I would be reflecting on why I might need to determine another's interpretation without asking them first? You see what I mean about self reflecting on what your reading into all this before knowing it to be true. If I was curious about the why, I would ask directly? Wouldn't you do that if you wanted to know? Wouldn't you rather hear from the horses mouth directly to know all this?.(I cant mention names so horse will do)

And again with this. You've spoken about the importance of listening, how really listening to another is a mark of respect, and I agree wholeheartedly. But you are so often dismissive of what other people say, you're not really hearing them at all because you've already made your mind up that they're simply spouting spiritual clichés and therefore they're saying nothing of value.

You say the horse is dismissive. And that the horse has made it's mind up. And the horse is not really hearing.
IN reflection I kind of look at that and think, how can I say this about another who could answer me directly those thoughts I am having, then I would know directly from the horses mouth. Then go from there..you see?
This is just me seeing and curious I don't care what you do, just I noticed and so thought I would ask you directly my questions as I did in the other post. (you didn't answer me anyway not directly, but that's ok )
