Dear Alexys,

"I think that life is like a fencing match, we have to know how to defend ourselves, but not hurt our opponent. Otherwise we will we be caught in a constant battle of wills. Too exhausting and futile." - I hear you!

"Too much negativity will breed and that's not good for our spirit or what we put out into the world." - beautiful!

"Thanks. I am just the vessel." - you are most welcome :D!

Divine Cheers

Dearest Alexys and all,

I don't know what has happened here but I come with wishes of peace, serenity and love for my fellow human beings - no matter who they are or what has happened.

Let's take care of each other and in doing so, take care of ourselves and our own inner peace.

I have not been here nor much of anywhere in the blog world (even my own blog) since I've had my own very special hard healing to do in a few areas and while I'm still not completely well, I do what I can, where I can.

Occasionally, on days like today, I am guided here (or there or somewhere) and know that I have something to give and I give what I can - what's that? You know.

Peace, love and understanding.

Namaste.

Too much negativity will breed and that's not good for our spirit or what we put out into the world.

2008-03-19T10:28:00.000-07:00

Hello fair Alexys!

"Also true. It's usually an emotional fallout of what has transpired. Rejection, hurt, anger, unresolved feelings, etc." - you are right...most people still have troubles understanding that sometimes rejection is for the good (and when it is not, well there is no point in lingering in negative thoughts...just put it behind your back); that hurt and anger must be acknowledged, dealt with and then thrown behind our backs; unresolved feelings must be resolved (which takes a lot of time investment, and patience).

"Therein lies the rub. Is the bone of contention with the other party or with themselves?" - I think it should be with themselves, cause in the end it is about themselves. Let me explain: let's say that we do not contain ourselves and start insulting our opponent just because we don't agree with him...are we really aggravating him or ourselves? Answer: ourselves. We will spend days thinking about the quarrel and what was said or not, how we felt, what we felt like doing to the opponent...and then what? Negativity is being brewed, and after that bitterness, after that diseases...*nodding*...
If we contain ourselves and debate in a civil fashion, we might even think of what was said or not, how we felt; yet we won't hold a grudge against the opponent, we will even learn from him and feel good about ourselves for being so open and civil...healthy.

"Man's inhumanity to man is the vileness of society. While we can hope to overcome it, it seems to be here for the long haul. Knowing it exists is enough for us to at least try to overcome some, if not all of it." - absolutely!! I agree with you.

"Spoken like a true intellectual, interactive, and entertaining individual. Take a bow." - *bowing*! It takes one to know one :D!

"Thank you for your wise thoughts." - you are most welcome, darling. But you know that my words float on the river of your wisdom, sista :)!

Spiritual Wholeness Cheers

Hi Annie,
Are you back from your vacation?

Blogs are certainly an arena in which we display our emotions and ideology to the world. Though its still experimental, I love the intimacy and the immediacy of the medium, but some parts still need perfecting.

2008-03-18T17:34:59.497-07:00

Hi Max,
"Gladiating in the blogsphere can be rather healthy, specially if the participants keep it on the civil level."

I wholeheartedly agree and I welcome it.

"There are two types of gladiating: negative and positive. The negative gladiating occurs when people start (practically) insulting each other; when they breach the wall of good manners and respect."

Also true. It's usually an emotional fallout of what has transpired. Rejection, hurt, anger, unresolved feelings, etc.

"Positive gladiating occurs when participants throw logical, intelligent ideas at each other (they don't have to agree with each other); when they healthily exchange ideas and at the same time test themselves to see how far their mind allows them to go; how resistant they are to opposition...(cause dealing with people who agree with them is easy, but what happens when there is strong opposition?)"

Therein lies the rub. Is the bone of contention with the other party or with themselves?

"Why profit off of another person's pain?" sweetie, unfortunately this is current practice amongst humans *nodding*...I don't know why they don't learn that it isn't worth the effort...that they should invest their energy on something more valuable to the soul."

Man's inhumanity to man is the vileness of society. While we can hope to overcome it, it seems to be here for the long haul. Knowing it exists is enough for us to at least try to overcome some, if not all of it.

"I don't think that any blog should be a place for fighting...in my opinion a blog should be a place of intellectual interaction, of entertainment; a refuge from all the troubles of life."

Spoken like a true intellectual, interactive, and entertaining individual. Take a bow.

Thank you for your wise thoughts.

Healing Cheers

Good Tuesday afternoon to you, Alexys. Clearly, I missed the draama, but glad to hear about the conclusion :)
I think it is good that you posted this.
Blogs are an extension of real life. As such, you see who is harmonious, who likes to fight, to hurt, to speak their minds, and to reconsider with thoughtfulness and/or understanding...

2008-03-18T12:33:34.680-07:00

Liara,
It does require a cerain mind-set to write. I think of the outcome before I put anything down. Even in doing that, there is always room for misinterpretation on a reader's part. It comes with the territory.

I love the Mother Teresa reference. She was a learned woman with a heart of gold. So much compassion emanated from her Soul and she fed the Souls of so many individuals.

Thank you for sharing your experience.

2008-03-18T11:59:00.000-07:00

Hello Alexys,

*rubbing my hands together* ooohhh what an article!!! :D

I followed that "gladiating" in your post on complaining...at first I thought that Blogger had switched comments lol; but then I realised that it was indeed your blog and I was like "what!?". It was a fiery debate, and I confess that I didn't get it much...however it was interactive, I give them that much lol.

Gladiating in the blogsphere can be rather healthy, specially if the participants keep it on the civil level. There are two types of gladiating: negative and positive. The negative gladiating occurs when people start (practically) insulting each other; when they breach the wall of good manners and respect. Positive gladiating occurs when participants throw logical, intelligent ideas at each other (they don't have to agree with each other); when they healthily exchange ideas and at the same time test themselves to see how far their mind allows them to go; how resistant they are to opposition...(cause dealing with people who agree with them is easy, but what happens when there is strong opposition?)

Yes, we do not like everybody...but there are ways of not liking somebody without crossing the boundaries of politeness, of societal etiquette.

"Why profit off of another person's pain?" sweetie, unfortunately this is current practice amongst humans *nodding*...I don't know why they don't learn that it isn't worth the effort...that they should invest their energy on something more valuable to the soul.

I don't think that any blog should be a place for fighting...in my opinion a blog should be a place of intellectual interaction, of entertainment; a refuge from all the troubles of life.

Heal is the word of the day :D! I suggest that everybody follows your advice *bowing*!

Beautiful words, Alexys...Brava!!

Cheers

2008-03-18T05:21:00.000-07:00

I sense when you even think about a topic, or speak about it, that sets the stage for your emotions and how you interpret life. If you sincerely wish to be loving, forgiving, peaceful and encourage these mental states, then you won't focus on conflict as a topic.

I recall an admirable point about Mother Teresa. She was willing to participate in peace rallies but wouldn't have anything to do with anti-war or anti-conflict movements. She felt this brought more animosity and hard feelings. She is an inspiration and wise teacher. We can always choose to learn from people like her. This shapes who we are.

This is truly your masterpiece of writing Alexys.
YOU are so right, this IS a a sacred place of healing. IT is the only place on the sphere that has this ambiance- hence I will not even respond to the misogenistic, opportunistic comment to again perpetuate propaganda.
Shame how some people just don't get it.

I apologise for my part in that and the position it put you in.

I can't forgive the other party for what they did to me, there's no forgiving it, I'm sure you can see why. At present, they remain the only person I can be sure, I won't even forgive on my deathbed.

Some things are not easily healed. The damage that was done, will take a long time to repair.

This of course, is not your problem, I appreciate that.

But I've never cared so much about anything in all my life, and to have it assaulted like that, is the biggest pain I'll ever suffer.

Take care :)
