Finduilas495, I think you are pretty well explained your point of view. :)
Ignite, maybe it was because of my English, but I'm not sure what do you mean by "radiate knowledge."

Right on andi
Yes, I agree with you, I do not think it's a black and white, and there is the time for taking and for giving.
Who can actually know when the balance has been achieved?
The only thing I know is that I must strive to participate in the forum, to do EE, detox my body, to spread knowledge about that people around me (if asked).... and to hope the time will come when I'll be able to give back for everything I received.
It is in my mind that one gets to a stage where one radiates information. One cannot help but include the higher truth in all ones interactions and words. Waiting for someone to ask before radiating this knowledge can be like holding back an explosion with a sack - cannot be done. But that does not mean we are inconsiderate of others, it is just that we ARE and cannot 'not Be'.
But by that stage of unified awareness, we are very careful of our companions. OSIT at the mo.
To give when asked is STO principle and it was discussed many times before in this forum. It is in many Cc transcripts.
And I learned it on my own experience because to impose your knowledge could cause just the opposite result or put you in situations from which you can not leave.
Of course this does not mean just sit and wait until someone asks.
So far I have learned that we need to choose the right time and right way to encourage others to think or to do something. For example, when someone from colleagues talks about how he can not sleep and how is under stress, I try to explain to him the breathing that I learned and how I sleep well after that..., or when you talk about nutrition try to talk about the harmfulness of some food, about detox diet, and with my "new age" friends, trying to talk how to spread the "love and light" is not enough.
The next thing what I intend to do is to order the Eiriu Eolas DVD, to copy it and give it to those who are interested, asking them to do it and to continue to spread it to others.
I'm not sure how my words sound when translating into English and if it makes sense what I wrote. :/
