Ouch. Sometimes we may get off the topic of Amma, but most of the topics discussed here relate to living a spiritual life, to selfless service, etc. I am perhaps one of the guilty ones, partly because I like to write and partly because some of what I read touches me so deeply, and I do see how it is all connected to our overall spiritual progress as individuals and as a human family. One word of note in general: Writing in all caps (ALL CAPS) is often viewed in cyberspace as yelling, so perhaps we can at least be mindful of this because I am sure it isn't anyone's intention to yell at the group. As for the soapbox ... hmmm ... to me a soapbox implies pushing a particular point of view to the exclusion of others, to trying to win others over to your side, "selling" (whether it be an idea, a religion or Uncle Joe's All Purpose Elixer), etc. I haven't really seen much of that happening here. I do find value in understanding the common historical basis and themes of different religions because that helps us realize we are all one family.

Guest guest Posted January 27, 2006 Report Share Posted January 27, 2006 it is funny to AMMAs son that no one has asked AMMAs son if he is shouting but just assumed he was.AMMAs son has nothing but love for ALL of you.the mind is never satisfied.we can do our best to love and still someone will have something to say. AMMAs son has not hollared once ,nor has he ever been upset with anyone but maybe himself as far as this group is concerned.what can your words do to this child.AMMAs son has done more harm to himself then anyone of you could ever do.to AMMAs son you all are many diifferent forms of AMMA.that is the reality that this child lives in most of the time.ALL OF YOU ARE DIVINE.that is what has been revealed to this heart. even if this child drops from this state,AMMAs grace brings him right back.through each scar of life that this child has recieved ,AMMA has revealed something about the POWER OF LOVE.that is what AMMA son shares on his post.AMMAs son shares his experiences. if something in that upsets someone, it is mostly because of the existing scar that was already there within you. if AMMAs son was shouting ,which he wasnt, then are we to shout back?once we shout back at someone who shouts at us ,we have inherited their issue and it has become our problem not theirs. we all have GIFTS.the greatest gift you can give to someone is LOVE.AMMAs son only wants to love and serve you.if he falls short please fogive him.his intention is only to GIVE YOU ALL WHAT AMMA HAS SO FREELY GIVEN HIM. using capital letters is how he has fallin short in thgis instance.it is good because it gives him something to work on. if anyone wants to call this child you can.AMMA son is here to serve you.please call him.you can talk to your brother whenever you like and you will see that he is not hollaring.773-722-3247=home or 773-552-4999=cell phone. >nierika >Ammachi >Ammachi > Re: to ckeniley about TEMBA'S SHOUTING AGAIN >Wed, 25 Jan 2006 10:55:14 EST > > >ckeniley wrote (to temba and the group in general): > > >> I agree with you sort of, but hey, you and some other posters seem > >> to be LECTURING US or pontificating.
