What you suggest is, like stealing someone's water from his table and suggesting it is the same as going down to the river where water is free for everyone to take.

The energy is not free. It's still stealing because rivers are entities themselves. Sooner or later the price has to be paid. If one does this, the next life will be lived in the middle of the desert. Karma.
The rivers you speak of are group souls. The analogy does not hold here. Then there's this idea of a spring, or source, infusing the group soul. One might take it from there. But there are
also living groups of sources. Infinite regress. Nothing's free in this universe.

There can be only exchange, in whatever form. That's the law of economy.

Just a different word - appreciation, love, grateful to ---and there would be lots less disagreements.
Explaining in one post, awhile ago, how you define worship was not enough---
it is not other people's definition, even if they saw it, see?
I got what you were saying - but still, it is just not the right word for many people.

Prepare yourself for the coming astral journey of death by daily riding in the balloon of God-perception.
Through delusion you are perceiving yourself as a bundle of flesh and bones, which at best is a nest of troubles.
Meditate unceasingly, that you may quickly behold yourself as the Infinite Essence, free from every form of misery. ~Paramahansa's Guru's Guru

Anything can mean anything I guess. Gosh it makes talking words sound so pointless.
What? To you, maybe! (in bold)
I bet not one person here thinks that is what worshipping implies.

I think I am advocating more than just words. I meant the act itself. I get it that there is resistance.

The word archangel itself is usually associated with the Abrahamic religions, but beings that are very similar to archangels are found in a number of other religious traditions.

I don’t think it matters. They are all higher beings and extensions of the higher power, so if you pray to one, you pray to them all.

Exactly. And then release definitions of higher/lower inner/outer. And realise the eternal truth that its all one. You are the only one that exists. Its all you.

Not to say that Worship is all bad, nor resistance is all bad... Nor is anything all bad.

But what is the goodness of resistance. And what would be an example of non resistant worship?

That I would very much like to hear about.
