>>One more view of "Internet Time":

For example.
Fred, I think it would help if you were to introduce your remarks with qualifications such as the following:
In my opinion/ it seems to me/some people argue -- and I agree -- / perhaps/ possibly/ I like to think that/ etc. etc.
Has it occurred to you that one of the reasons folks here tend to react negatively to your messages is that the latter are couched in such absolute, brook-no-contradiction, terms? It's impossible to debate a sermon, after all.>>
When you embrace Internet Time, all these relative judgments which we used to dance around and hide behind drop away.
Light is light.
Energy is energy.
Nothing "I" say or do makes one iota of difference unless it's in reference to light and energy.
For "I" am not trying to claim, possess, control, argue, define, restrict anything.
I am simply sharing ideas which are a form of energy.
How people react or think or weigh or consider or get pissed off should not have any bearing on what "I" share/do/feel.
The further I retreat into time and relativism the more couched/sujective/conditionalized/frozen things become. Sure we can all retreat from the present moment, take less and less or no risks, but less and less of what we share has any impact for there is less energy, etc.
If you think I am preaching then forgive me and then forgive yourself for thinking this way.
I have not interest in doing anything other than sharing energy and ideas.
However these are received is beyond my control. But I will tell you one thing: I forgive myself, you and others for any separation between us. For the more I forgive the more I have the opportunity to embrace the energy and timelessness of the present moment.
And I forgive myself and you for appearing to preach.
I'd much rather sing.
Peace.
