…as I have said:…So, rejoice in all that we are, and all that we can be through sharing, listening, kindness, compassion and love …learning and respect for others and their pov, their experiences as related to Paul’s topic of
‘Shared Thoughts.”

This is what ‘shared thoughts’ is about..sharing, discussing and respecting another person’s pov..whether they agree or disagree..it is our choice to take in the value of everyone’s pov, because, IMHO..all are equally ‘valuable’, meaningful, and one can take in something useful from every post..I know I do!

I am so thankful to be learning every day…

Namaste…

Seems to me that a lot of people make a production of telling the rest of us how much they appreciate this blog then undermine it by shutting out some, ridiculing or downplaying others, and rushing to validate (if not outright kiss up) the ones that are acceptable to the group, all the while giving lip service to how important it supposedly is to learn or share. That doesn7kt sound like learning to me. It sounds like game playing and attention seeking.

But to each his own.

I guess, at the end of the day, the choice is up to the individual. It was my choice to stick it out, curios where this was all going. The time comes, too, to make the choice that wherever it’s going is not a place you personally care to be.

You’re right Softly – it’s an opportunity to share and learn. That’s how I look at it.

Have a nice day all and always ready to learn, Rach

I get the quote, even the tactful version, but why here? Why now? Why so gloomy?

This meeting here could be an opportunity to rejoice in the quest, to discover new avenues, to enjoy the gift of others freely giving their take on things. There is no contest here and it can only get brighter.

Let’s lighten up and learn

Softly

I personally have found a wealth of richness in the lessons Paul has learned, the things he has experienced and wow, his sharing of it! Believe me when I say that his ‘sharing’ of his wisdom, ideas, philosophies..his words..all of which are valuable to me, are from deep in his heart. I feel, and AM blessed to always be learning about so many non-linear ways of thinking, from a ‘consciousness,’ a place that sometimes, I am not even aware I have… It’s a true gift. For myself, I wish to grow, to discuss how I can use and apply the things Paul shares from his life, his ‘thoughts ’ in my own journey…it truly matters to me. And though life is sometimes not easy, but for me, working within myself and focusing on how to be more ‘aware’ of all things, as we are a part of all things, and everything, is something I am so grateful for beyond words! And believe me..I have learned a lot in the past few years!!

My life is enriched by the gifts that Paul presents us with….I only wish to be a better person, more ‘aware’ more knowledgeable of as much as is possible.

Let us all, as Paul so eloquently expresses that ‘we use the ‘power’ of our mind to focus itself from its conscious place, to focus and witness without judging anything as right, wrong, good bad, true or untrue…and experience/feel and know ‘eternal change’ that we are a continuance of along with everything that exists.’…because, in truth, we really are a continuation of light, of all matter, all thought, all sound and everything else that exists around us!

So, rejoice in all that we are and all that we can be through sharing, listening, kindness, compassion and love …learning and respect for others and their pov, their experiences as related to Paul’s topic of

‘Shared Thoughts.”

I am so thankful to be learning every day…

Thank you Paul……
Namaste…

PS regarding “Chrystallia & The Source of Light”… you are going to find the meaning of kindness, compassion, and love and light and share in a fantastic journey within her pages!

Before propelling myself into the body of this entry, I respectfully yet definitively request that no comments be posted in response to the following text. This is a one-time entry submitted in both defense and support of a fellow writer. It must be stated, therefore, that I do not consider myself a “fan” of “Paul Michael Glaser” but instead a writer, author, mother of three, student of the human condition, and fellow human being who–having seen (and experienced) both the most glorious as well as the most horrific actualities this life has to offer–feels in every way compelled to make the following statement, regardless of the inevitable outcome.

Curious about the progress of the upcoming work, (“Chrystallia”), I logged on to this blog and was, as a writer, appalled by the consistent perversion of the words, thoughts, and ideas of another in order to support some unrelated agenda. There is no worse feeling for a writer than to have his or her work refitted then taken out-of-context for misuse by others. There were entries in which readers challenged (in some cases excoriated) the views Mr. Glaser presented; however, criticism (in most cases) helps one train him/herself to be more mindful of how best to approach the way concepts or imagery is presented. It is not pleasant; yet it is necessary in learning how to achieve clarity in one’s own personal writing style, in conveying one’s perceptions to others. Still it must be pointed out that criticism is far different than blatant misinterpretation for the purpose of–by taking selected words and phrases completely out-of-context–using another’s words to support an unrelated perspective. Perhaps Mr. Glaser is able to shrug off such misuses of his statements and/or personal theories; yet some inexorable sense of outrage deep at my core would not allow me to let such an injustice go unchallenged.

The bottom line is this:

Whether one agrees with the concepts presented or not, these are the thoughts, observations, and impressions of a human being (not a soulless, emotionless, one-dimensional character depicted on a television screen) who–having endured the unendurable, survived the unimaginable–reached a point and time in his life at which he deemed it important to share with others portions of the lessons his life and experiences imparted upon him. The man made the time, took the effort to initiate frank, open dialog for no other reason a desire to share and encourage equally stimulating conversation. The least others could do in response is show due respect for the integrity of another human being’s beliefs (not to mention their significance to the individual who expressed them)!

In short: listen, share, question, discuss, exchange, examine even debate, by all means…but stop twisting this man’s–this writer’s– words to suit your own purposes.

Come on, people!

P.S.

Laertes, as (ironically) the author/originator of the, frankly, rather obscure quote cited above, I absolutely must state that you, my college professor, and my late mother were probably the only three people on the face of this planet to have read and/or purchased that particular (decades old) analysis on the comprehensive works of William Shakespeare!
