Kindly be mindful of the following points regarding the forum. Dialogue is thinking together - it isn’t debate - and it's inquiring together without end point or agenda. People come into the dialogue from their own place of understanding, which is not going to be your place of understanding. We’re here to communicate together, learn together and gain insight into our own thought; to receive and share our observations, not impose our views on others. Address the comments in a polite, considerate manner. By all means, ask for clarification, but challenge the comment, not the commentator. We don’t know enough about the others to make those judgments and we’re here to learn about ourselves, not to correct another's perceived personality flaws. If a comment brings an emotional response, look at that. Do you feel the need to defend? To attack? Time for some looking inward. Self protection results in war. Besides, the war is in each of us. Stop that war, and the rest will take care of itself. (For some suggestions on the nature of dialogue, please click here)

So what are you afraid of?

So what are you afraid of my friend? 
Of death, of abondonment, of loneliness?
Of rejection, of not being loved, of never being listened to...?

Tell me of your fears, your insecurities...if possible?

Re: So what are you afraid of?

when fear itself asks all these questions, isn't it frighting?

So you think fear is without you, outside of you, imbibed by your teachers, parents and so on, and nothing to do with your own lack of sensitivity, presence, attention as an adult, as a parent...is that what you're saying?  I don't know what you mean, and so read your latest posts and you seem to think fear is without you, is it?

Well, I'm certain the cicada lives it's every moment wholly without the interference of thought/fear... just wondering.  Is that what you mean?

Re: So what are you afraid of?

come in she said, the water's fine
spill your fears upon my spine

the fish all swam into the swirl
and soon enough it was their world

not so far from where they came
with nothing but themselves to blame

and so the swirl became familiar
and life went on under the water

Wonderful lines, did you write them?  Not that it matters who wrote.  All of the lines make sense except for the last two lines which seem just fine, yet remain unfamiliar in it's familiarity as nothing in life feels familiar to me as a humanbeing in the sense that people are so strange, completely unfamiliar... don't know if that make sense?  Not that it should.

Yes, it does indeed.  Sweet cicada and gifts of nature.  So much I can learn from nature.

Re: So what are you afraid of?

Now, you're dividing fear, drawing lines, but I see no such division, for fear is complete.  What say you?

Maybe she's just asking you to be real for a change. Instead of a second hand caricature. But if you want to be a clown...you should stick with pictures.

Ted Barco, if it's anyone here who knows what a violent fellow you are, it's me.  So don't run away and hide yourself behind an arsenal of images and pic's and empty, fake words and wishes.  Grow up and face up to your fears, your obsession with images.

Tree is a disturbed person, Bob, and behind those images is a lot of fear/violence which keeps erupting now and then.  Although he poses no threat to anyone he's creepy.

Re: So what are you afraid of?

Funny, then why did you start up here?  I too have no time to engage with disoriented perverts like you, Ted Barco, so carry on and find someone else with whom to engage.  Even better ignore my posts from now on.

Re: So what are you afraid of?

wow...I write a little poem in the morning and then off to cleveland I went to pick up my boy for spring break...just got home and opened this thread up first because, as natura intimates, addiction is the norm, and this thread and how it would develop ran across the screen a couple times on my long quiet drive up to cleveland.  So this is what I see that has developed.  Samata has decided to disclose things people confided to her in private here to the rest of us.  I guess this jsut really seems over the top to me, to do this.  Of course it just shows me the line where I become engaged, but still samata, it is such a dirty thing to do.
