There is a universal saying, 'no growth without struggle'. You see my dear friend, some people are crude in their approach (for example your one sided spirituality is particularly crude as is my constant contrariness) We as members of deeper understanding and wisdom (as if) must bear crudity with compassion and understanding, in order that others may see that exclusion and control is the way of hypocrites and the way of unconditional love is another way.

Guest guest Posted July 16, 2001 Report Share Posted July 16, 2001 Dear Harsha: I copy this insightful post and also wish you would rescind your new rules. If you would have communicated to Judi with love and requests for the reasons for her hostility, this board would have gotten quite high and learned some valuable lessons of communication from you. Love, Alton p.s I just read you later post that said you wont even discuss the issue any more. Do you think thwarting communication about this issue will solve anything? , Lobster <lobster@b...> wrote: > > >Dear Brothers and Sisters > > > > is a spiritual fellowship.

"I suggest that you join Judi's list for a while... > TheEndOfTheRopeRanch " I tryed it and it did not interest me. As to answer your other post. I have been advised a number of times that if I did not like it here I should leave. That is what I will consider this week.

What do considerations depend on but just that what you try to get undo... Just be here, don't make it a point...

Alton, you are a song. Folks often confuse the song with the Artist. When you leave, the Artist will write new tunes. At least I hope so, as this List can benefit good musicians.
