Q: (M)  That is so true.
A: And they can be particularly nasty when one jumps off in haste upon realizing that fence sitters are prime targets for snipers.

--- Quote from: Galahad ---I can't stress enough the importance of participating. All of you lurkers on the forum, all of you who read and then don't post, finding all sorts of excellent excuses, do you understand that you are hurting yourselves? Maybe you are here only to get the latest news from the Cs, or the latest bits from Laura. Part of you may think that you are special because of that, or that you'll be able to save yourselves because you have information that others don't have.

And maybe there is some information here that can help you in 3D, help you to better face a future that isn't looking too bright.

Maybe you think that because you are trying to apply the information there, alone in your corner of the universe, that you are doing the Work.

But at some point, you need to make a choice and get off the fence.

If we are going to pull our buns out of the fire, it takes a group. And if you aren't participating, then you aren't part of that group. And if you aren't participating, then maybe those who are won't be enough. The group might not be strong enough. Will you really want to look at yourself some day and ask "What if?"

Mr Meowgi:
It takes me a while to warm up to things, but it is a work in progress. I made it a point to change this year and well it's moving in the right direction so far. Thanks for the input

I often feel this desire for a meet-up group, and on closer examination it is not about discussion, but rather the actual physicality of the presence of others. The seeing and exchanging our 3d countenance.We are in this reality and for me I like the idea of this getting together if only to listen to someone speaking,like the conference that would of been great to attend.Most of all a meet-up group  say "i"exist.To me it is STS and good intentionally STO,I think,and quite natural and may for the most part turn out false. False insofar as what interactions these potential meetings will produce.After all we don't have Gurdjieff sitting at the table holding court,and speaking of him,I'd bet he would hoot at the idea of these get to-gethers of "us" for reasons of discussion.There are forums where we could ,if we were sincere about investing time,meet potential friends or significant others with similar interests.That takes time,commitment,patience,tolerance and energy.Icon where 2 or more,or is it 3?,meet is considered a meeting,but I've yet to see it not turn into an egofest.Theres a lot of structure on this forum,and if there was'nt I wouldn't be on it. And I have been the perpetrator of ego-driven nonsense in the past on this forum also.You never know where someone is really at.It takes time and loads of self-study to even begin to have an adequate truth in observing someone else. I embrace my frustration or loneliness when I crave the GROUP discussion, and consider the in balances of my machine,and by golly it always works when i get lazy and dont want to consider my motives. But its work and I get overloaded and short-circuit when I dont clean and scrub this being with the tools that we are given. There are no free lunches.And on that note I will say that I thank you for this thread,it is one that I feel is important to address.And the sanity that this forum produces IMO is my grace.
