You should not post in the Study Group Forums if you are not an adherent of the path or sincerely seeking inclusion within it.
While discouraging those that are not adherents or sincere seekers, limits the dialogue, it also limits the disruption.
Determining if one is sincerely seeking inclusion, and asking questions from that perspective, is going to be difficult. The Moderating TEAM and/or the adherents of the path will ultimately make this decision. So if you are asking from this perspective, please couch your queries in the most respectful and humble way possible, as not to be determined in violation of the rules, as it will not be your call to make ... and the standards are high.
It's a noble venture we're trying to achieve, giving the adherents of each path a peaceful place to grow and study together, while allowing us to be privy to their discussions (in essence learning and growing with them). The good thing about it all ... is that even though you may not be able to ask the question in the Study Group Forum ... you can ask it in the Main Spirituality Forum ... and anyone willing to respond, can. So no one is being denied the opportunity to ask a question, which is a very important piece.
The Study Group Forums didn't start out this way, and may not end this way, but that's a characteristic of a work in progress, ever evolving. There's so much more that i need to share regarding the Study Group Forums. They are bigger than even this post, with a rich history at this point, and it's hard to articulate it all in a clear, easy to understand way.
At this point though, until we get to where i can lay it all out ... let's all act prudently ... and not post to the Study Group Forum if you are not an adherent of that path or sincerely seeking inclusion within it. Again, you're welcome to have and post questions in the Main Spirituality Forum without being concerned if you're possibly violating a Study Group Forum rule.
Sister Honey Chile ...
... i've moved your post and my response to a new thread in the Main Spirituality Forum, so all can respond, take part, share their thoughts, suggestions, etc., regarding this challenge of our home.
Love You!
