Guest guest Posted October 21, 2007 Report Share Posted October 21, 2007 I did not expect to see a fight break out in a group such as this. I think folks should become more familiar with the ego and how it rules us, and drives us to compete, argue, place blame, and so on. These are some of the things we must let go of. I think if someone tells someone to take one substance and another tells you not to, it is still ultimately one's own responsibility in what we take and don't take. I don't think a public argument should take place because people like me, who are new, and " not in the loop " get rather confused... I think that whoever gave advice to whomever did so with the greatest of intentions. There is no need for anger or fighting here. Take it privately, drop it, or leave the group all together (no, not telling anyone to leave, but it is always an option as nothing is keeping anyone here, or forcing anyone to have chrism as their teacher) is my honest opinion. This sort of thing can off-set any balance that might be present, or that we might be seeking. I know no one really asked my opinion and I apologize for butting in like this. Just a perspective from someone who has no idea what is going on.

Guest guest Posted October 21, 2007 Report Share Posted October 21, 2007 Welcome Amanda and thank you for your honest words and opinion. I agree with everything you had to say and it came from your heart. You are correct about the Ego, and you are not budding in. Please do not become confused or scared off. No group can be perfect all of the time, huh? Blessings! Lisa ---- " Ã…mandala " <mi5anthr0pe wrote: > I did not expect to see a fight break out in a group such as this.
