Running an open forum with hundreds of people from diverse countries, professing sundry religions, various political persuasions and many of them strong-willed is an interesting experience. Not to forget all the weird and cunning spammers, drug pushers, sex-fiends and hackers. Everyone ought to try it for a spell. It builds character if you don't quit - something I've often thought of doing, btw. All in all the experience is great for learning forebearance, tolerance, PATIENCE, brotherhood and especially about Self. In the end we do what we gotta do the best way we can get it done. Dale PS: The other day while waiting in line at a restaurant I had an epiphany of sorts. There were maybe 50-70 other people waiting in line and they seemed to be all talking at the same time. I remarked to my friend Howard there must be, by extrapolation, 2-3 billion simultaneous conversations going on all around the world at that moment. Imagine all those people talking to all those other people simultaneously. There is a huge chorus (or is it cacophony?) of words and thought streams all stemming from and permeating the Global Mind - God conversing with Him/Herself...... Likewise there must be a million or so forums on the web like ours. People from all over the world communicating with people all over the rest of the world. Never before in humanity's history have so many spoken and written so much to ourselves - about ourselves. Is this THE AWAKENING or what? |
