Oh contraire, it is working. Bringing light and deeper understanding to our selves, our community, our consciousness... what more could we ask for?
I like this point immensely. We are all 'mentally conditioned' by our experiences, there's just no way around that fact in this human condition. What we do with that conditioning, what actions we put out to the rest of the world, therein lies the crux.It seems to me, that the people who participate here think of themselves as "conscious" but are in fact, just as mentally conditioned as everyone else, and damn stubborn I might add.
A nice game plan, but perhaps a little oversimplified. As complex as any one human is, the notion of community is exponentially more complex. I reiterate my concept that as far as I understand what a community "does" in order to be classified as "working", the waccobb.net community is not only "working" but perhaps even excelling. Smoothly? what's that? In encompassing the duality of reality, knowing that there can be no light without darkness, that love and pain are the twin wings of the soul, it seems like "smoothly" might be something to be dreaded, not aspired to!If waccobb is ever going to run smoothly, people need to get off their high horses and admit that they dont know everything! If everyone were to know that in fact, they cant possibly know everything, then we could have an actual intelligent, logical discussion. I think thats what "conscious" means, so stop being so unconscious everybody!!!!!
Thanks.
As far as the banning goes, Barry, I fully support you in your choices, and concur with your process. I believe you are doing an excellent and thankless job of moderating and holding safe space for this community, and I am frankly appalled at both the content and nature of the posts in question. Keep up the good work.
