Peace and Blessings Family,
I've been online a long time, have met lots of different folk, presenting themselves in all sorts of manners.
I mentioned in another thread, how we are often able to only present our minds (knowledge), and Spirits, without ever revealing our bodies. I spoke about how folk can pretend to be one thing, conscious, whole, balanced, spiritual, etc., never actually being that. This medium allows for such. It's not a bad thing necessarily, just the reality of it.
In my travels on the Internet, I have heard and seen our people demonstrating all kinds of untoward, disrespectful, actions toward their own people. It's detrimental not only to those they are issuing this treatment out to, but to their own selves as well, for it is a reflection of them. It seems as though some of us don't realize that the way we act, respond, etc., provides far reaching evidence of things we may not want folk to know about us ... certainly things we're not saying with our mouths ... yet by our actions, we're putting it all on the table.
I've heard folk say, yeah, I'm doing this right now on the Internet, but it's not how I act in real life. In real life I'd not respond this way, I'd demonstrate the wisdom and knowledge I have. I've heard this so many times! I'm often left to wonder, do they not know that in order to demonstrate such behavior at any time, means it is in them to do. It is a part of them, one that they can't just take off when they shut down their computer. Even if it isn't manifested offline, which I doubt seriously, it's an ugly thing no matter where it rears its head. It's really the weirdest thing, to see folk acting in the most unbecoming ways, yet claim it's only how they act online for they are truly wise beyond their years.
While I mentioned in the previous thread, how we might be a bit reluctant to get to know one's mind, and Spirit, because their body has been so neglected ... i have to say ... there are some minds and Spirits presented online, that would make me not want to know anything else about them.
We claim to be knowledgeable, having wisdom from on high, yet we deal with each other, project energies in such a lowly manner ... contradicting our own selves.
This community though is unique, in that i believe we're challenged to take all of our people, no matter the condition, the energy, they present. It's trying at best.
It seems that those who lay claim to advanced knowledge, insight, and wisdom, would know that all of their interactions are precious opportunities, and should be dealt with in the highest regard, with the greatest of compassion, understanding, and foresight, but they don't ... or they don't care, which would be worse.
It leaves me wondering, if they really have all the knowledge and insight they claim, for something is amiss.
Love You!
