Wow, Arbaline.... SEAL tactics find their way to the net.  How deadly :-)

Actually, it's brilliant... thanks... it gave me a good springboard to
wind down my own wind and express a few thoughts that didn't fit in with
my last letter re:dogma, etc.

Part of me is, of course, thankful for the tap on the shoulder, reminding
me of some important things.  And part of me also feels the ancient
Spiritual Guilt present in your words, that basically re-iterates a belief
that needs shaking: that the sounds of an emotional body moving are not
spiritual and are counterproductive.    And in the Perfect Flow of things,
I also see you expressing my own guilt at having expressed myself so
strongly and with such feeling.  Thanks for that reflection.

And yet, i feel you are correct in that threats were probably going
too far.... 

Kalki pushed more buttons than just my "belief" buttons that say dogma is
tiring.  Much of my letter, although perhaps it didn't come across clearly,
was expressing the Rage, yeah a Divine Rage that I carry towards the
grand Imposition that Separatists have foisted on Earth Spirits as long
as my soul can remember.  It's a Rage that I think that we, as a humanity
are TERRIFIED of touching, for fear of the sheer anarchy its unleashing might
bring.  (See Also: L.A. Riots, Summer of 1992).  But if WE as evolved spirits
don't do our part in releasing the Rage, then events like the Riots are
going to become more widespread, because this stuff is going to rise up
either way.  We can either embrace it or try and stuff it away even deeper,
its our choice.

I know it's very NewAge P.C. to bow and honor
and love and be Light and give everyone space... and that my letter(s) may
very well have violated that.  Heart says that there must be room for
everyone and everything, and often in denied Guilt also says that one
is not loving Good Enough unless tolerance is perfected.

But I believe that those that would perpatrate limitation or manipulation
upon other spirits-- be it spiritual,
emotional, physical, or mental-- need to start hearing
the oft-denied Rage at such behavior.  Most "spiritual" people would prefer
to "forgive and forget" and we have all kinds of sparkly, starry meditations
to attempt this.... but there is SUCH a deep wellspring of denied rage in
our Humanity against those that have come and foisted beliefs and systems 
upon the "Us" that was content in our Oneness.  It's very, very complex, and
I don't think I can fully communicate what I see here... after all, God
required 5 books to even touch it (The Right Use of Will series of books
by Ceanne deRohan).

Although some might consider it unfair on the individual,
I feel that maya-avataras like
Kalki Das are indeed "gateways" to group conscioussness that lies behind
a belief system... and by commun(icat)ing with them, you Speak to that
Consciousness.  My rage expressed, as I see it, echoes back,
back layer upon layer, and I hope to the very ears of God...
for I know that He/She/It knows what I'm talking about. 
My Rage is NOT at Kalki, but at those that have performed his
behaviour again and again.  Yet, I feel it is OK that people like him have a
listen to the Rage that the Emotional Body feels about dogma.  And I also
can see it has gotten other people's emotional bodies moving a bit, as well,
which is good!!!

My own article that Arbaline reposted, I would say, for all its apparent
clarity and upliftment, still carries within it an ignore-ance of the
vital importance that we allow how we feel about EVERYTHING to begin to
MOOOOOVE!  It [the FeelingExpression] doesn't always have to
move towards those that trigger it... most times its best if it doesn't.
I probably would have been more effective to vent my rage in my own space..
but I am not beyond ego and the cheers I received in my mailbox perhaps
clouded my discrimination somewhat... then again, sometimes it
IS OK to vent at the one who triggers you.... right or wrong I
don't know... but it happened.
I also know that my expression was aimed at Kalki's behaviour and NOT at this
Beingness.  And then beyond that, I realized and claimed that it was as much
aimed at "Me" as it was at "He".

In all fairness, then,  I must be willing to hear about emotions
that move due to my own behavior, and I practice this in my life, although
it burns like Hell sometimes.  And the more I am willing to listen, the more
I strengthen my vision that we truly are a One doing this journey... that the
Rage or whatever emotion I hear is in my reality for a reason, for a reflection.

Peace and Love or Whatever Feels 
Good to Feel in the Moment....

I *Love* You Humanity!

Steve
