The Living Force
Thanks BHelmet, you made me laugh & smileBut yeah, there are people here I almost feel like I know and like them and that they are almost like friends. And I don’t say anything about that.
I feel the same regarding the sentence i quoted above, i will just add that i would enjoy meeting all if this was possible.
I don't look my stats, but can't help to notice the numbers near the bell on top and it remains useful to check it, just to know if someone answered directly to one of my posts (or quoted me) and maybe answer back. And i agree that there's a part of my machine (my creature, my 3D ego thing), with all its complexity, being around the corner and who like to be loved. But it's our nature, it's at the same time natural and funny to observe how our egotic part of us is ... in a way ... feeding itself.
But, or at least to me, this remains important, i explain it like this : networking means exchanging, and it's not only exchanging information but also feelings (and other things when you meet the person in real, but it's not possible here). These feelings are part of the impressions , it's another kind of food we all need to grow, and we have 2 ways to express them here : by replying to one as you did or by "liking". We have to do with what we have, this would be easier (or not for some) if we could meet face to face, the possibility then to smile at someone, to watch each other in the eyes, but we do not have that, the forum is like a degraded but functional way to network, and i wanted to point out this "like" function as being the tool we can use to send someone a smile, an encouragement, and even if it's also used by one's ego to be fed, this remains natural because we are STS beings, or STO candidates who understood they were implanted a mind which is not ours (this remember me Don Juan's explanations to Carlos in his last book).
The lone word that come to my mind here is gratitude. Thanks all to be there, thanks to Laura to have succeeded to build this wonderful community which help(ed) me to discover that ... i do not need anymore to read science-fiction or fantasy books ( ), I live already in, there are many secrets to discover, treasures to find (together) and a lot of nice people to meet.
