night even catch a tiny little wink of how amazing you truly are!
Love and respect
did it ever occur to you, that there are alot of people that have already "awakened" along time ago?
because you have reached this state does NOT mean that for many of us this is new. it's all about WHAT can be done about it on a individual or collective scale.
the initial excitement of discovery, leads to apathy brought on by the futility of futher recourse.
Laffoe was explaining that if one did wake up then they wouldnt be speaking to anyone in the manner that some have chosen to speak in. I applaud their ability to stand for what is right.
Any who have anything bad to say then laffoe is correct in that they are in deed still asleep and have been on pause unknowingly. Looking inward is wise because when someone is placed on pause they are forced to believe that they in deed have woken up but it just wasnt as big a deal as they thought it would be.
Its a trick. Just another trick to rise above. Laffoe came to the rescue of a family member and if they felt the need to do so then whom ever was being refferenced should humble themselves and do what was advised.
It made me truly happy that you answered that question for me, actually it was like I knew you did before ever seeing it, which filled me even more with joy.
I had felt kind of drained by the question, or rather by the assumptions in it.
So thank-you for standing up for me, which inspires me deeply.
The only purpose with my original post were to inspire people to be creative and align with their inner true self, rather than project their fears out on Brianegan.
From my humble point of view there's something deeply important in those threads, something I'd wish for all to ponder about.
What I'm definately not interested in is an arguement whether who is more awakened or not.
There's no 'I' in awakened, we're all on on this together, and true bliss is for all.
I wish for you to always find whatever it is you seek, and if you're in some state of apathy you'll se trough and find the beauty and reason of it.
Love and respect

OK I took this older post of mine (against the rules I know, sorry :p )
The poster (me) are assuming that the the earlier poster had hidden assumptions.
Seem like the poster (me again) might spread some annoyance, being pissed off by ´contest of who is most awakened´
Instead I could have tried to listen, and ask the other what he meant by awakened, and what his motivations were.
Trying to communicate, making interest/contact.
Instead I made this kind of bitchy post
"You know that you were ransomed from the futile ways inherited from your ancestors, not with perishable things like silver or gold, but with the precious blood of Christ, like that of a lamb without defect or blemish. He was destined before the foundation of the world, but was revealed at the end of the ages for your sake. Through him you have come to trust in God, who raised him from the dead and gave him glory, so that your faith and hope are set on God." ( 1 Peter 1:18-21)
9That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world.
10He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.
11He came unto his own, and his own received him not.
12But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:
13Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
14And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.
15John bare witness of him, and cried, saying, This was he of whom I spake, He that cometh after me is preferred before me: for he was before me.
16And of his fulness have all we received, and grace for grace.
17For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.
18No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him.
Therefore the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he not only had broken the sabbath, but said also that God was his Father, making himself equal with God.
19Then answered Jesus and said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father do: for what things soever he doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise.
20For the Father loveth the Son, and sheweth him all things that himself doeth: and he will shew him greater works than these, that ye may marvel.
21For as the Father raiseth up the dead, and quickeneth them; even so the Son quickeneth whom he will.
22For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son:
23That all men should honour the Son, even as they honour the Father. He that honoureth not the Son honoureth not the Father which hath sent him.
24Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.
25Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear shall live.
26For as the Father hath life in himself; so hath he given to the Son to have life in himself;
27And hath given him authority to execute judgment also, because he is the Son of man.
28Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice,
29And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation.
30I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me.
31If I bear witness of myself, my witness is not true.
32There is another that beareth witness of me; and I know that the witness which he witnesseth of me is true.
33Ye sent unto John, and he bare witness unto the truth.
34But I receive not testimony from man: but these things I say, that ye might be saved.
35He was a burning and a shining light: and ye were willing for a season to rejoice in his light.
36But I have greater witness than that of John: for the works which the Father hath given me to finish, the same works that I do, bear witness of me, that the Father hath sent me.
37And the Father himself, which hath sent me, hath borne witness of me. Ye have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his shape.
38And ye have not his word abiding in you: for whom he hath sent, him ye believe not.
Sidenote: I read a very short story about refinement of silver and one aspect of the process stuck-out very clearly in my mind: a silversmith explained to a questioner when does one know when the refinement process of silver is completed. Left one second in the fire, longer than what should be, will destroy it. The secret to how long a person should keep the silver in the flame is marked when you can "see your own image" in it. Then remove it from the forge's fire, or it will be destroyed.

Those that speak the truth will hear the truth, and the truth is Love. In your decision to bring in division, you arose anger in others, instead of Love, that apparently look up to you. There was no anger even present on the "other" side of your perspective, until pages into the discussion. Why did you choose to affect your fellow beings in such a way? You had the opportunity to do otherwise in creation of this thread, in the limited time and space used to create it. But you chose to introduce outright division where there was none, as in your other thread. In the duality of this universe, you tread prideful ground.
Be careful in using deception and personal wiles to create something, as it may just be a product of the effort that went into it.

Now so far besides saying you care about some vague notion of some vague form of comradarie you haven't actually said anything of any note worthiness.
Some poorly phrased questions spelled incorrectly that you don't even care enough to type out whole words for is what when it comes to showing you care?
Care about what?
Defending a guy who wants to pull the plug on the whole world who imagines he is God's messenger who now says we will all be horribly punished if we don't all listen to him, and imagines he has some power to deny or grant access to something.
Thats a pretty warped form of caring.
I honestly feel like I am dealing with a bunch of children here having a hissy fit because their hero which is probably just them selves any way under multiple and recently created accounts got called out on the carptet and exposed himself as a demanding tyrant with a God complex.
Do I honestly have empathy for people playing such games.
Very little.
Thanks.

Greetings:
I have a short letter, which I wrote a few months ago, when I was at a critical-point of "questioning" religion, belief, and searching for the reason for existence.
I hope you all may find some worth in the words; but there is life in the words and they are freely given as a personal testimony, not for myself, but for all others, hoping they might find peace and hope there-in.

One can wonder if there is so much at-stake, wouldn't it be prudent to be so absolutely sure? Perfectly sure? Perfectly reconciled. Perfectly logical. Perfect love which guides humanity to an ultimate goal?
I'll leave the answer to each one which reads this letter to fill-in the "blank."
Godspeed and Many Blessings,

My friend, you are still not in a position to judge this one and you are wasting limited time and energy in doing so. if you would kindly use that energy to send out a base of Love, this one would be eternally grateful. i was giving a friendly warning and if you are as grown as you espouse you would know not to take such words lightly. Through discourse and experience is how we learn and i am trying, unsuccessfully, to have a discussion with you.
Nothing changed from that form of response that could not have been changed better by following the very message you are sending out. Why didnt you approach differing viewpoints with love, humility, and respect? You even say yourself that "actions are louder than words." There is a saying, "that which we speak most fervently tends to be directed towards ourselves." Why would you introduce such things at critical times like now? Even now, as i try to simply speak with another being (you), you are blatantly judging me and dismissing me. You are acting as an agent of division when it is not needed, do you see this?
Lets actually talk, neh? We can all learn from each other.

I find this interesting.
I post my thoughts on how I view myself. I am speaking to/of myself.
You're interpretation that I am hurting someone by calling them on their words is incorrect.
Just saying.
