If his intent was to "self preserve" I do think he would be quiet... But obviously to me, he has another motive.... What do you think? Does a person being ridiculed continue speaking at their expense? Believe me, I know what self preservation is.... I do it all the time..... And Wim is not self preserving, he has allowed a can of worms to be opened, why? That is for him to say, and only me to guess.... But I would speculate, that showing gifts are frowned upon??? Why is that? And where is the line drawn? Perhaps he is trying to show that they are normal. And why are we allowing gifts to be frowned upon? I'm a poet, I share my works freely... I've also been known to channel in the past, and have quite a few experiences with divination... Although I dont speak about the last two very often.... I am quite free with letting you all know my gift of writing poetry... What is the difference between? Only that one is considered super powers.... And one is considered normal... Well, gee... I venture a guess that all are normal... Whatever gift... And even that is silly... They arent gifts... They are just discovered as being a part of us. I'm very curious as to why you insist that you have no ability with "gifts".. Or is it that you have just decided that to display your "gifts" is wrong? And then my next question, is why is it wrong? If it is because you feel a person that lets it be known they can do these sorts of things is conceited, or showy... When did that become a reality? Maybe that is your reality. If all of this is in an attempt to help keep Wim from hurting himself, well then, I can see that you are speaking with love. If it, however,is to prove that siddhis are wrong to be shown. Then I would wonder at what brought you to that conclusion.... With love, and respect, Lynette Ps..... Good luck in this debate... I'm afraid I'll be out offline for a few days, as this very normal, enlightened being has contacted the stomach flu... So off to bed I go. Psss. Jody.... Love ya, lighten up... You are being too hard on yourself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
