Re: The Witch's Corner
You're right in that some people are lost causes. But if in dealing with 100 lost causes, I can get that one person to open their eyes a little, then it's worth it.
 Quoting: Green Witch


Stated differently, you’re willing to waste 99% of your time and energy on those not actually seeking to learn.

Why not invest 99% of your time and energy on the 1 out of 100 that’s actually seeking to learn?


If I treated it any differently I'd be as bad as them.
 Quoting: Green Witch


Well, then! It’s always nice to know where we stand in the Mind of others.
In that case..... show me a clean corner of your house I can soil, then I’ll join the cockroaches for drinks.

It gives you the illusion of freedom,

-Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

You are not free... everything you are has been manufactured by Minds that have not your best interest. You are imprisoned by beliefs and not reality.

If someone gets in my face and starts preaching or telling me how bad I am, depending upon the circumstances, I might consider that an opportunity to reach an understanding. If not then I move on. I don't waste my time with those who can't be reached. But I won't know until I try.

Even Jesus left the 99 in the flock to reach the one lost sheep.

Now you’re using the same evasive tactics the cockroaches use to argue (what was that you were saying about being as bad as them?)

These two have clearly and unmistakably shown you their true colors. Repeatedly. How many times do they need to shit on the carpet and laugh at you before you accept that their intentions are NOT altruistic?

I’m fairly certain Socrates and Plato didn’t put up with that nonsense.

Re: The Witch's Corner

 Quoting: Green Witch


It’s perfect. I was concerned she would push Wicca but she does nothing of the sort. There is nothing dogmatic about her approach at all. I’m in Chapter 6 and I can attest that thus far there is no agenda. Quite the opposite. She’s written on the subject from a broad perspective that encompasses all forms and styles. She simplifies, clarifies, and makes understandable all of the confusing and contradictory “instruction” that pervades the internet.

This is a woman with a LOT of experience but is modest. She’s knowledgeable and well versed, yet doesn’t hesitate to show her humanity and vulnerability. She isn’t afraid to be herself to the reader. There is no effort on her part to persuade the reader she is “enlightened”, nor does she adopt a false persona. She’s real. She’s frank. She’s down to earth and straightforward. She writes casually as if she’s having a conversation on the patio with a friend, and she discusses her weaknesses and mistakes.

She cuts through all the bullshit and gets right to the heart of matters, yet she’s thorough.

It’s an excellent read that I would recommend to anyone.

I greatly appreciate the recommendation.

Laughably, everyone regards themselves as a free thinker.

Everyone.

...and yet, we can point at a number of people whose Minds are fully imprisoned. Those people actually believe they’re free thinkers and believe people like you and me are the Mind-imprisoned.

Not one person will read that Tolstoy quote and think, “oh my gawd! How could I have been so blind to not see that all this time I’ve been a hive-Minded automaton operating on Fear, emotion, and animal instinct rather than logic, reason, rationale and critical thinking!”

Not one.

We should call it “The Tolstoy Dilemma”.

Indeed. On one level I don't think of myself as a free thinker. In some ways I'm tied to my beliefs as strongly as the fundamentalist. I'm willing to learn and question and I'd like to think I'm open to new ideas. But some beliefs are so ingrained in me since childhood. Does recognition of that and knowing that some things about myself are unchanging make me more or less a free thinker?

Can anyone absolutely, 100% call themselves a free spirit/thinker?

Re: The Witch's Corner
Today has been a quiet day for me. One of reflection. Since I got to hold baby Elizabeth, I've been going through mom withdrawal. If you are a woman, especially a mother, you know what I'm talking about. There is something about holding that precious little life in your arms that just triggers you.

My daughter said it would happen and I knew it too lol

"Mom, you hold that baby and you are gonna go mental" lol

Unfortunately my baby factory was shut down years ago so I'll have to settle for a puppy.
