How then shall I live?
In our 2-weekly discussion group, we considered the question “What difference has New Age teaching made in your life?” After all, what counts in the final run is how we live our lives.
So … having bored you all with statements of obvious fact .. let me bring out the really big guns …
One of the all time best blogs that I have come across that deals with “How do you actually live out this New Age stuff day to day” is found at http://tobeme.wordpress.com/ . He has a major handle of the idea of awareness, and is worth a careful reading.
Go there now.
No, do not read this.
Stop reading and go there now.
Fine. Waste your time reading this prattle instead of the good oil at http://tobeme.wordpress.com/.
Happy now? (I know you still haven’t read it - you can’t fool me)

I am aware of {{Mark’s}}blog.
I stay away.
For I have no desire to conflict.

Hi Sue Ann,
Wow! I am intrigued as to why you stay away and would value your opinion. I have no desire for conflict either but would like to know why you don’t like his blog.

Jon,
Thank-you so much for your kind words and you very direct link and recommendation for my writing. THANK-You!
Sue Ann,
I am sorry that you felt that we had conflict. I felt that we had healthy exchange of ideas and I always enjoyed your comments/thoughts. I encourage you to stop back by. I surely do not desire conflict. I believe the questioning each other is a great way to learn. I felt that you were someone I was learning from.

I apologize {{mark}}, for not being more open. You write excellent posts with much inner searching and genuine seeking. But yes, there is a conflict of interests. It is not intentional. And there is nothing *wrong*.
There is just much energetic feeding going on, emotionally, that I cannot in Integrity support but I also in Integrity cannot deny the Liberty and freedom of. There is much we think of as “love” and “loving” that’s not, really. Not at all. And it is in how we approach this issue, where we differ.
There is a sexual energy virus, a consciousness virus, that I have developed immunities to. And it’s all over the place so no need to worry about getting it. All of us already have it. It operates emotionally for the most part. And this is where not claiming creative responsibility over our own emotional states and responses to reality comes into play.
For instance…an “unkind” word. Where I’m coming from the one that judged the word as “unkind” is the one with the emotional problem in need of resolution. With problems in regards to emotional coping skills due to beliefs in conditional love and acceptance. Whereas, what Society has taught us, is that it is the one that has said what another can’t cope with, that is judged, not the one with the coping problems.
When Liberty to live as an Honest and Truthful human being is denied because of emotional incompetence, our Value system is in need of a spiritual overhaul.
