X...... >>Yes. Something is quite wrong with your attempt. Many folks have attempted to address (specifically) what is wrong with your attempt, but so far you do not seem to be understanding us any better than we are understanding YOU.>> I don't find anything "wrong". This is a dialogue. The point in sharing is to discover and unlock what's right, positive, joyful, funny and virally exciting. The point in GO is to simply try to embrace more and more of the energy of the moment by taking risks, exposing oneself, reaching out etc. The point in NO seems to be the direct opposite. But, perversely, one can make an equally strong argument both ways for each position. It's crazy, but the d-mark I like to outline is this: look at the energy. Ask a simple question: is it positive or negative? Are we adding value or taking away value? Are we helping and serving each others in way that bring us together or are we taking and blaming each other in ways that separate us from one another. Ego will never, never, never, ever give up. And you can say I have an ego all you want. And I can say you have an ego all I want. But that's not the point. Go one step deeper. This is not about digging into positions as it's about climbing trees, taking risks, seeing new visions, sharing new energies. If discourse devolves into negativity then that's the first sign that you've entered a black hole and are willingly participating in a taking-energy grudge match. Happens all the time in this world. It's on TV talk, news, cable and radio shows all day long. It's SPIN and BUZZ. I think it's amusing. I don't claim to know the answers and you can say the same things. But I've risked and have forgiven myself and you - and no don't go crazy for I'm not saying you did anything to hurt me - for my intent is to always look higher and be positive and be an example of hope and light for others. Not a "know it all" but a humble person who takes risks to make a stand selflessly for one reason: to simply share in the unlimited energy that's out there for everyone to celebrate. Peace. .
