We on the portal have very different views on many issues. However we know that unless we get along we will have no spiritual friends because people who meditate and are making an attempt at spiritual progress are rather rare comparatively speaking... at least at this time in history. We must be grateful for what we have or suffer the consequences.
Now, that's an undisputable truth. Even though we have different views, we should discuss them in a detached way, or at least not let ourselves be ruffled by diversities.
In the other forum, a couple of posters left because they didn't like what I wrote on gay marriage. They concentrated on their own sensitive ideas rather than on discussion with other spiritual people.
I appreciate Steve and the other friends here because they understood that the basic concept here is discussion within spiritually inclined persons, whatever the discussion will be.
Thanks mccoy i believe that we concur on many issues though we may have different degrees of opinions surrounding those views. It is very important to me that we do have similar views spiritually speaking. This to me is more important then anything. Most people in this world are involved in their own personal life. There own personal desires. Their own views. Their own possessions. Their own families. Their own professions. Most people do not find time for meditation nor spiritual company. Most people will waste this precious time we have in a human body to evolve further and at last free ourselves from this human funny farm we find ourselves in. Most people will not take the idea seriously--- why we are here and what our real purpose is in this life and even if they momentarily do think about such things they soon loose interest or believe it is hopeless to find out or perhaps think it is for someone else to figure out. But everyone will eventually have to come up with the answers. Most people are only postponing the inevitable.
How long will we swim around this human fish bowl and not notice all those peering in on us. We may think of ourselves as large fish but we are in a very small fish bowl and have very little or no concept of what is going on on the outside looking in. We are on the inside only seeing a small area outside of our bowl. Most people can not even see beyond their own personal lives let alone see beyond the fish bowl of this life.
