Both Zala and myself felt that since it was a welcome back thread to writesomething that was not the proper place for this discussion. We did not want to close writesomething's welcome back thread so we decided to move the posts that did not pertain strictly to writesomething here to a new thread. We felt if it must be discussed on the public forums again it would be best to place it in a thread of it's own.

I can see why you call me clever.

Mr. Potato Head... How do I say something about that without it looking bad for you? You're how old?

Silverstone, you're smart like AG that time when AG wasn't smart. What a compliment.

Therefore, *if* there are further AG/KS/lalalinda "discussions" in threads other than the designated "Conjure the KS Ghost Here" thread, we've decided to reply with a notice that Mirandee or Zala will delete the post if the poster doesn't edit/move it to the Designated Bashing Ground.

You know... I haven't been here very long and already I am seeing the duality of people's persona around here. Then again, what else am I to expect from the internet.

AG... You have my upmost respect Bud. Atleast you have been you; Mature, self-controlled (much more then many of the others from what I can gather,) and always to the point. I think you can give a lot of pointers to my Cappy brother about the benifits of self-control Lol!

the whole thing is silly...KS was like 2 years ago I think. At first, i thought it was f-ked up of them to start it but I dont think I really understood everything that really happened, and I never will, and I dont really give a sh-t if I ever do.

Its funny so many have given AG crap for starting another forum, when thats exactly what Randall did...he stole the idea from the original site. Probably why its so damn obvious why Randall hates AG...we always hate the people that remind us of ourself, right randall?

I dont think Randall hates AG or ever did...how can you say things like that if Randall does not even bother to interfere in these fights but bothers enough to pay for LL and let AG post here?!

To vent is ok but impute your own absurdities to someone else? it is NOT ok...far from it...it is mean and simply impolite since you post here too.

Have you returned here to share and learn or start another fight?

you know I call you this because you change faces when you change opinions.

Suggestion to Randall: I realize we don't vote in Lindaland, but if we did vote, could we vote to change acoustics name?

I had a dream about you the other day: I was dining out, was sitting at a huge table, there were lots of people I did not know then I saw a tall, slim blond lady with two daughters, they all sat in front of me and I knew it was you and your daughters. I have no idea what it might mean

I fully agree, writesomething. Very true. Some of my best lessons have come from conflict. The lesson was about my self, not the other person or persons.

But Mirandee doesn't one need to learn that their is other ways of learning and dealing with life's lessons & others, without one always having to do it the hard way or by conflict???

Maybe if we present ours-Elves with a little more care and concern on how others maybe precieving or recieving us, our points of view maybe better heard & felt by others. Might even change mine!!!

I really don't believe that we have to be forceful, pushy, angry, mad or in conflict to still make that same point. To many things get lose in translation with that kind of approach and someone surely always gets hurt or angry!!! I just see it as a ends to no means, thats all.

The Danger of Service without Spirituality

Service, even when it is utterly selfless, ought to be guided by spiritual understanding; for selfless service, when unintelligently handled, often creates chaos and complications. It could even be the opposite of the desired effect.
The real danger in service lies more in the possibility of your rendering it from a false motive than in making a mistake about the spiritual demands of the situation. If you render service in order to oblige a person and if you feel proud of doing it, you are not only doing spiritual harm to the recipient of your service but also to yourself.
The consciousness that 'I am obliging someone' is the first to occur during the process of serving; but it can be annulled by the contrary thought, 'I am obliged by being given this opportunity of serving'. This latter thought facilitates the attitude of detachment and secures freedom from the bondage of good actions. Service based upon comprehensive understanding is not only selfless and adjusted to the spiritual demands of the recipient but is rendered with complete detachment. Such service takes the aspirant to the goal most rapidly.
For most people the idea of service is inextricably bound with securing certain definite results in the objective world. For them service consists of removal of human suffering or illiteracy or other difficulties and handicaps that thwart the flourishing of individual or social life. This is the type of service rendered by aspirants, politicians, social reformers and other good people. Though this type of service is of immense spiritual importance, it is in its very nature unending. Therefore, as long as the idea of service is tied to the idea of results, it is inevitably fraught with a sense of incompleteness.
There can be no realisation of Infinity through the pursuit of a never-ending series of consequences. On the other hand, service that comes after truth realisation is spontaneous expression of spiritual understanding of the true nature of the Self. And though it also brings about important results in the objective world, it is in no way complicated by any longing for them.

Well said, though, for someone in the throes of hypnosis. At least there's that.

*Le sigh...* Subjectivity strikes again...

Acoustic and few others on this forum have realized that first and foremost, Lindaland is still a message board is it not? And as such he has given his responses in a more coherent fashion REFLECTING the proper etiquette of a message board. I would defend anyone on this board who seems be taken down by negitivity just because they try to offer an objective point that just doesn't seem to go right with the mainstream crowd (Jwhop included mind you; Even though he lets fanatisism get the better of him sometimes.)

It seems that most of the people on this board have forgotten about the funtion of a forum. A community is open to quesitoning from all sides and to all matter of opinions if they have reasonable grounds for questioning. I may not know all the details of what happened bewteen Randall and Acoustic but AG has every right to question behavior or actions he may deem unfair or twisted in his eyes (if he sticks to the objective nature of the problem; Which from what I can tell he did.)

Would be nice to learn lessons without conflict, Star but alas, conflict is part of life. It's many times unavoidable even when we are trying to avoid it.

It's part of an imperfect world made up of imperfect people. None of us are perfect. We all fall short. Which makes conflict among many other things unavoidable. Everything has it's opposite and conflict is the opposite of peace.

The ego defends. The ego wants to be proven right. That is why arguments happen.

It takes two to have an argument. One person can stop it by simply walking away from it, telling theirself I don't want to do this anymore and choosing to be the bigger person. We can't avoid conflict coming our way, but we can choose how to react when it does. This is one of the greatest lesson I have learned through conflict. Though even having learned that and still attempting to practice it, I do still backslide now and then. I am afterall, a Taurus.

But it is all a waste of energy that could better be used elsewhere. After all what is more important, living a life of peace or being right?

"It is no little wisdom for a man to keep himself in silence and in good peace when evil words are spoken to him, and to turn his heart to God and not to be troubled with man's judgment."
