Well, while I'm nowhere fluent in English, it still is not language barrier I think. But it is not an attempt to insult or belittle Laura's merits in making contact and doing research either. More like little sharp attempt to 'budge' things from what I perceive as somewhat 'stale' state. Where is excitement? People standing on the brink of a new world? I believe 'work' should not be always daunting. So i definitely say - it is frustration seeping in. It has mostly to do with my personal problems/lessons of course. I try to control it or vent in other places, but not always successful in doing it.
I still believe in my essentially 'good' intent (I know how it sounds, but still...).
Not quite understand about greener pastures - searching for other data, perspectives and understandings is my slow but constant activity. Part of learning/development process. If Forum want me to withdraw, so be it.
Hmm...ok, thanks for the reply, because now I can see the position you are coming from. Also, hope you understand my somewhat harsh response, because in my personal case, this forum and its members are more like a home, so you can understand the reaction when someone comes to your home and isn't being gracious toward the owner of the house.
Having said that, it may clarify some things to you. You see, guests, or those who come from time to time (and even if it happens quite often), don't always know everything that happens in the house. All the hard work, all the effort, dedication, the constant changes, and yes - a lot of joy and hopeful excitement that comes from doing all of that. And that's quite normal for any house, family or community. So it's quite understandable how wrong conclusions can be made if they are based on a limited data.
In this particular case, however, many, if not most of the things (especially their results) are being shared with everyone. You don't even need to look that hard! There is nothing stale or daunting about the SOTT radio shows, SOTT monthly video reports, Laura's new Knowledge and Being series, and so on...It's quite practical, dynamic and to the point. Yes, what is being presented on SOTT isn't jolly or "happy, happy, happy", but that's the reality of our situation. It's hard and depressing, and really hopeless for some people. But we can still try and do something about it, regardless if it will be based on the guidance from the C's or not. Hope for the best, prepare for the worst, that the motto.
Also, the C's repeatedly said that we need to learn to use our brain and not to depend on them for any confirmation. The personal growing in this case is akin to an actual growing of a person. While it's ok to depend on one's parents guidance in childhood and in adolescence, when one reaches adulthood, one should take responsibility and learn to navigate one's life by his own.
As for venting frustrations, we have a swamp section just for that! We will be happy to listen and assist, if possible.
