"I hope you will learn from this,
about boundaries,
and not letting people get to you.

Its just a matter of knowing who you are,
and knowing that everyone else is who they are."

Just keep telling me this over and over and over and over and over and I'll keep telling myself over and over and over and over and maybe someday I will succeed?
How do I train my mind to see that we are All One and Love All and still keep all the boundaries up....

God help me

Its all about learning who to trust and who to blend with. And giving what we can of our experiences when we are strong and have extra Light to share. Almost forgot.

Wishing you LOVE.

I have NO ill feelings towards you at all. I understand your friendship and while I will never share that sentiment with your friend, I respect that you want to show your friend that you care.
Hugs,

I was attempting to say your love for HSC is wonderful but one doesn`t spit in the eye of those who don`t.

Using incendiary (statements like "burned at the stake" and "drug thru the mud") points a finger at those who had disagreements with him which creates a defensive post back to you. The Love gets lost in the shuffle

I find you a fun,interesting and a lady with a big heart. You have a hunger to learn and that trait is very admirable!

She doesnt usually resort to that language,
this was a rarity for her,
and it wasnt a matter of "disagreement",
it was clearly something else that she was objecting to.

We can give her a break, can't we?

I understand your feelings that you have shared yourself.
I'm sure you have, somewhere in those 6,000 posts,
revealed a few picadilloes.
We don't all have to wear our bleeding hearts on our sleeves.
I understand that.
I'm sorry if you felt slighted by that,
I'm sure she meant no disrespect.
Again, she was very emotional,
and this is not at all usual for her.

love to you,
HSC

Hi!

This place has been a bit boring lately.

I am saying HI to everyone too!

I wish we could all express ourselves OPENLY, but more compassionately, with tact and diplomacy and without getting personal That is basically all I want to say.

HSC, I like this quote!

I was thinking about this thread. I am thinking that I hate to sit on the fence, so I think I'll give some of my opinions. I know I always ramble on about people should try to walk in each other's shoes/ moccasins, but that does not mean they should not have opinions!

I'm not a Buddhist nun. I haven't, in this incarnation of mine, been persuaded that emotions such as anger are altogether bad things.....yet

I was happy MM put up this thread because she was responding to the simple and pure desire to SPEAK FROM HER HEART

I'm all for people being open and being able to express themselves.
But....with more respect and compassion
I may have disagreed with Mirandee that there was anything wrong with MM putting up this thread.....but I felt really sad when I read the ATTACK on Mirandee

In a sense, I think HSC was being put through the dirt regarding the incident in question...because it was inappropriate and personal and extremely hurtful considering the circumstances

However I don't think HSC can quite be compared to Jesus....yet (JOKE!)

But, whatever I may believe, you've got to admit that Jesus' teachings were SPOT ON.

Thank you for sharing your point of view.

Here is mine:

She didnt name names or "point fingers".

In fact, I thought she had certain people in mind whom she did not.

As she has expressed, to paraphrase,
"If these words do not rightfully apply to you,
you may assume they are not intended for you,
but, if they do rightfully apply to you,
your dispute is not with me."

You are free to be offended by the comparison to Christ,
or to speak for those who would be offended.
And she's free to call it poetic license,
and tell you to give her a friggin' break.

If people get offended by that,
I dont see it as very Christian,
and I think it ought to alert them to their own work.
Love is not so easily offended or provoked.
(1 Cor 13)

Besides, wasn't that Christ's message anyway;
that we should learn to see Christ in everyone,
and let the light in them outshine their sins?
When someone's light shines brightly enough,
or if we have strong enough eyes to perceive the light in them,
or if any sufficient combination of these two conditions is present,
we will see the Christ in that person.

A Christian is one who bears the resemblance of Christ, - no, not because he or she claims to believe some dogma handed down from old white men in cloaks (which, like a message in the game of "telephone", has changed so many times, and become so distorted that it no longer speaks for Christ), but because there is love in that person's heart. If we have eyes to see it, we see everyone is a Christian, but, in a more specific and worldy sense, only those who devote themselves to love are Christians. And all who devote themselves in this way share in the persecutions of the Christ. Jesus himself is the body, and Christ the soul, of Christendom, and all who take up his cross are members of him.

"Persecution will come to all who want to live a godly life as Christians."
- 2 Timothy 3:12

So let us all greet one another as Christs!, for we are all rays of divine light descended into matter, and let us especially recognize those in whom we see the light. To live a life of love, understanding, empathy, and compassion, is to "crucify" the egoistic part of ourselves, and it is, spiritually speaking, to die to that part of ourselves, and receive a new life in Christ. Such a person is not free of the flesh, or the temptations thereof, or even free from their own sins, which are a surrender to those temptations, - but, such a person knows that all of these are only the death gropes of the ego, and, no matter how many times he or she is pulled down by the gravity of the flesh, as long as he or she makes a present effort to stand and walk in the higher path of Love, that person is a living testimony of the Christian gospel, as Christ was.

It is an error to see only Christ's perfection, his divinity, and not his humanity, as well. Was he never remote from God, not even for a moment, or did he perhaps exclaim, "My God, why have you forsaken me?!"? Jesus Christ is the symbol of a great mystery, a hieroglyph for the true state of all humanity. And what we ought to read in that symbol is the secret of our own divinity and kinship with Christ, as children of the Lord.

If you want to get involved with them, you're free to, and if you want to avoid them, you're free to do that as well.

But can't say I blame you, lol.

Perhaps what you really want is for LL not to be a Scorpion?

How do you feel about Eagles?

Pheonixes?

She did not explicitly compared HSC to Jesus, considering that she said "burned at the stake". She had an image of the cross on her post but the conclusion is drawn all over the place over that... I mean please... whatever conclusion people draw from that is their own, I humbly think.

I know the nature of the Pheonix well. She walks beside me, with my Moon in a tight conjunction with Pluto.....I'm Gemini but part Libra and part Plutonian.....The friend that held my hand through the abyss and fires of my youth, by way of the letter and pen.....is a Scorpio....(my girl pal)
