Default Re: Step up or "Thanks for all the fishes"

Yes, "thanks for all the fish." (Thanks Dan)

Wow. I just read this thread for the first time. I guess I've been busy.

So. I thought I'd say hello first, "Hello."

I just wanted to say that you can be "Love" and be a "Warrior" at the same time. I think that is our future. Evolve to become your own guide and your own advisor. Be good to others and protect yourselves from anything that your intuition knows is not good for you. That is freedom. That is choice. That's ok. I do not need permission, nor does anyone else.

Being spiritual and enlightened does not mean to dump your intelligence and caution out the window and believe everything you read and are told. We need to be discerning here, and quite frankly we need to be mature. To top it off our paths are different, we need to be respectful.

SO what is true responsibility? What does it mean to be human? How do you define yourself? Do you walk up and say, "I am a buddhist." Do you say, "I believe in Christ?" OR DO YOU DARE TO SAY... how I believe is MY OWN BUSINESS, unless I decide to share it with you. My consciousness is original and belongs to me alone, as I am unique and only GOD knows me. do you say, "and I respect that only God knows you." (That is if you believe in God, and I respect that too.)

My point is... we are never going to completely agree. How wonderful and challenging it all is. But I will agree to this:

I will respect others and their ways of thinking though dissimilar to my own.
I will not let anyone try to tell me how to think, either.
I will talk about my opinions in a nonviolent fashion.
I will respect and treat any disagreements with honor.
I will not back down and be true to myself and my own intuition.
I will always LOVE everyone here.

Peace of Mind, Strength of Heart,
Wormhole
