Such harsh, judgemental words in what is supposed to be a peaceful forum

for learning. Omprem, please refrain from such personal attacks when you

don't agree with someone. You can respectfully express disagreement with

someone's beliefs without attacking them as a person. I doubt that you

will open anyone's mind to your views by insulting them. Putting your

energy toward insulting someone who doesn't agree with you, and then

taking the time to post it where you know others will read it, seems to

me exactly the kind of low behavior you accuse others of.

 

Is Saturn or some combative force passing through a position that

influences the Internet or something? I'm on other mailing that up to

now have been peaceful, satsanga type groups have had sudden bouts of

insults, arguments, and childish behavior in the past two weeks. Where

is all this negative energy coming from, and why can't we try countering

it with a little positive instead of giving in to it?

 

peace and blessings,

Seadna

Mercury, Saturn and Jupiter are in retrograde. Mercury will move

direct this week. We're stuck with S & J in retrograde for weeks to

come.

 

I myself have felt much more irritable and combative of late and it

bothers me.

 

Blessings to all of us struggling with our imperfections,
