Slow down please

OK could you all slow down with the "creation" of new spirituality threads that talk about the same things? OK if you don't, no problem. but if you think you are expounding wisdom for the masses, on things that can't be told apart, we can't and won't keep up.

I know exactly what you are saying, and it is an effort saying many things over and over...

I am still trying to have the discussions go in a forward direction, but I am stuck with many persons presenting error and they are not willing to give it up.

We all know that in a discussion about anything, that someone might say something incorrect, and if it is a healthy and truthful discussion, then the error is quickly resolved and the discussion continues forward.

I might say the Red Sox won 16 to 10....but that might be in error, and the other person will correct me and say it was 16-15....and I will accept that correction and the discussion moves forward.

But in this forum this does not happen, and many persons stand to fight in defence of their error.

Its puzzling...

And I cannot go forward with the discussion, and find myself posting many comments just in relation to that one single error that in reality should have been cleared up and done with in 2 minutes..

Yes it is puzzling. Why do you keep trying so hard to defend your errors?

In the context of open-minded and tolerant discussions about spiritual belief systems, you are misusing the words "error", "incorrect", and "healthy and truthful discussion", Dasa.

Of course I am.

Eveyone will understand when you give up casting your pearls before the swines.
