I am sorry that you are having trouble with people purposely being abusive on this list. My intent is not to be abusive. In fact, I am mostly silent unless I am strongly inspired to send something, but it is not sent from a place of knowing or trying to convince anyone of anything. I don't assume that I know anything for sure, or that this world as we experience it is necessarily intended to be understood, although there is obviously seeking. I come at life (these days) from the point of not getting the final answer, but understanding what the person is trying to communicate. After all, they are just as much a part of the Sacred Unity as I am, so there is something there or they wouldn't be around. Whether it is right or wrong is not the point for me. I am opening doors and experiencing what they have to reveal as it is all part of sacred unity to me even the abusive emails. Having said this, it is not much fun or very helpful to read a string of abusive messages, but I have seen it happen on many lists. I probably won't stick around too long if arguing is what this list is all about. I am more interested in discovery and the light each person brings to that process. Disagreements will happen, but when it crosses the line into extended bickering or persona attacks, then it is just the same old thing I see in the world or on the news everyday. So, I hope your efforts to eliminate the abusive emailers has worked and that this is sacred space in as much as you are able to make it such. Thank you for your consideration!
