Thanks Steve, it's a practice for me not to take offense when others are inconsiderate(intentionally or unintentionally). And another practice not to feel this need to demonstrate their behavior back to them. I grew up with people that did that, and it's not a trait I want. Instead I hope to see things from a higher perspective which bridges the gap of duality. A practice and hope not to take things personal and still give others good intentions, it means sacrificing ego. It also means correctly discerning a moment and practicing boundaries if need be. I only think sometimes you poke fun at me and don't know it, other times it is my Ego that clouds the picture. But I am actually not talking about you in this statement, just that you've helped me make my own observations, and as you've just said-these aren't always well received.
But now to talk about you- It feels like earlier you were holding on to some upset and tried using this thread as an example when you wished to relay your personal assessment of me. When you said it's okay to drop the subject, I thought you meant it- so I said no problem. But it seems you weren't sure about that either. I get this weird impression you like to control the flow of the relationship between us. Do you think of me as a student or a friend? I hope the latter, and we needn't always relay our insight and wisdom to the other as if to teach. I can tell you, we have both gotten each other figured wrong over the course of years. What we interpret online is not the same as what we interpret on the phone, and I can only imagine what we interpret in person would blow away the many assumptions we've made about each other over our time writing and deducing in the manner we do on a forum.
People judge from their own attitudes dictated by so many things that don't actually define any of us.
And lastly, before I leave for the day-
I think about the subject of reincarnation. Didn't Yogananda say he was Alex the Great? The point being, similar traits does not always mean one is the incarnation of another- but sometimes there are similar traits that do hint to ones past life. But what matters is the individuals say in the matter, and whether or not reincarnation is even a thing of importance- it might be better suited for that person to discard the notion of reincarnation, in order to acquire the wisdom in their present form.
My point about it synchronicity and reincarnation being- God works in mysterious ways, and cares about each and every one of us. That it's a good practice to keep our Hearts open.
So I wish peace to you and the portal. <3 = )
Cheers all.
