hi nelson,

i'm not sure what/who you meant by 'rookie' - whether you refer to the newer members of this forum (me being one of them), or those who seem to be, as the phrase goes, 'wearing rose coloured glasses', although in reality are simply beaming with positivity. i don't think it was necessary to divide between and some and others. because...

from what i can tell of the people who use this forum, we are all intelligent enough to understand the basics of what is needed to help co-create a positive existence. i think we all here 'get' what it means to be positive and live positively, radiating love to all others (otherselves), however just because we wish to believe, or state our belief, in one thing being the best outcome, it doesn't mean that we are ignoring all other outcomes, or disregarding all other messengers or messages just because they don't say what we want to hear, or say it in a negative way.

i, personally, don't feel i need to read this or read that, or even watch this or that, because i feel i know right from wrong (as we all do). so, while i may not have read george's books, or the entire loo series, or all of david's work, i do 'get it'. if i ever choose to listen to or debate over the advice of others (how ever strongly they put it across), it's because i want to understand it, or learn from it. not because i fear it, or don't fear it. fear is normal, natural, and something to work with, not work toward.

i don't know where i'm getting with this, really. i guess i just wanted to point out that i think we all are capable of using discernment in our own way. and while the 'rookies' (where ever they may be) might be focusing on the negative (or ignoring the negative) of any situation, they too, will learn to balance or overcome the things they need to, in their own time.

i'm not necessarily arguing with the point you made, or judging you for making it, but i do think you could have said the same thing in a little less of a threatening way.

love to you,

tamarie
