Hi, he_who_supplants.
Thank you for your candid honesty. If I had a dime for every wrong turn I made, well, I'd give a lot of it to Laura, the Signs of the Times team, Fellowship of the Cosmic Mind and the Quantum Future Group, for helping me adjust my tool of discernment.
Like many here, I have wandered a winding path, full of dark corners promising illumination. One thing that was really hard for me to learn was the concept of things resonating with me was a planted program, thanks to the new age. I thought that the sense of things resonating with me was quite an accurate way of discerning appropriateness.
Sadly,this was so untrue. How could I possibly know my own resonant frequency when there were (and still are to a large degree) the added vibrations of programs, emotions, wishful thinking and an unhealthy body interfering and overpowering any true vibration I thought I had.
Geez, I hope that made sense.
Anyway, all this to say, it's a learning process, this life of ours, and the more we learn, the better equipped we are to live in authenticity.
Learning to walk usually involves falling and, as long as we get up after each fall, dust the embarrassment off so we can learn how we tripped, we will eventually become stable enough in our stride that we can lend support to others still awkward in step.
Welcome.
Gonzo
