What if?

Unknown userMember08 Mar 2018, 6:44 pm AEDT

What if?

I want to create a space where we can use our imaginations...

there are so many of us on here who are so very creative in so many remarkable ways...

I also believe that we are all intelligent in differing aspects of thinking

we support and show compassion to one another

many of us feel different...as though we don't fit in....don't belong...

is this really because of society's way of treating us....stigma...I am not diminishing in any way people's struggles...they are very real...

we have humour...

or is it another phenomena

what if:::

we have travelled here from another zone

we are here to observe the medical profession...I love this one...

we communicate with each other....in the real world?

which is our virtual world?

So what if

willing to add some thoughts? anyone?

Sooohhhhh anyone who wants to put forward an idea....add the far side....who is bored...

What if

I am just adding a few names .....not excluding anyone...just struggling to remember...

@CheerBear @outlander @Zoe7 @NameUnknown @Former-Member @Former-Member @eth @Mazarita @Former-Member@Silenus @Faith-and-Hope @PeppiPatty @Appleblossom @Former-Member @soul @Determined

@eudemonism @Friendconnect

please if joining in add names I have left out...Out of respect I have not included at this time those who are particularly struggling so as not to offend....

Re: What if?

Gosh some of your thinking reminds me of my son...some of myself..

you certainly have depth which engages me in further conversation...

I am usually far too deep for most people....

I am aware of this now and realise that I come across as aloof to many...that is purely my trying to find a balance between an intelligent..interesting conversation...a compassionate heartfelt conversation and an intriguing deeper conversation..

whilst I was overseas last year I spent a couple of evenings talking to my cousin,s husband..she was not really a conversationalist..lovely though..So husband and self tasted very nice reds and talked at great depth...was so refreshing for me as I said before hard to find as I think most people who are deep are busy not talking..coming across as aloof

I was reminded of the mask the other day whilst at the docks I spent time studying some street art...very captivating and well done..then Lo and behold to the right as though holding a sign was your mask on the form of a person...Hence my question..

@Friendconnect

Astrology and numerology are not part of my faith..

numeology holds some interest for me as the world runs on so many numerals..

dreams can sometimes for me be an image of what is going on in my life...dream interpretation can be a bit iffy depending on which article you read..

to have your dream come true is a totally different concept...quite an experience for you..

Re: What if?

That's way you think too sounds very familiar... more like a self talk.

I feel the same about most conversations I've had that are too shallow... views too selfish to hold any meaning or authenticity.

And here on forums... I've had some of the best talks with strangers.. they're just so authentic.

Re: What if?

yes @Friendconnect

I feel exactly the same...in fact have written about that very fact somewhere...

alas mind does not allow me to remember where...no matter..

there is a caring air ...supportive environment...here

I suppose to be fair we do not feel safe talking about ourselves to others in real life if we have been hurt..

here there is some common ground...

Re: What if?

Hi @Former-Member 🙂

Firstly, I so get the depth thing being seen as aloof... add a mostly introverted personality energy system, and it spells doom for a lot of social engagements I wish didn't end with such a misunderstanding...

I >>crave<< depth, and have rarely come across peeps who are similarly fired and inspired. I don't mean this in an elitist way. Everyone has a unique and precious story told in their own voice, and prince stands next to pauper forever in my world...

But... that said... a lot of people are flat stones cast at just the right angle by their parents to skim across the water in ever-shorter skips, seemingly forever...

We each need to seek awakening, for there are far too many sleepers... the third eye, the fourth eye, whatever eye is needed... needs to open up, to focus, and to see...

Only then does the processing and the putting into place and the reorganisation of value systems happen...

This is where the difficulty of the simple and the simplicity of the difficult meet... where personal evolution burns its painful path through every fibre of your being...

In the process, it burns away the shackles of decades, and past patterns become merely a cautionary tale for oneself and others... decades of suffering, transformed into a knowing warm crinkle at the corner of the eye, shared with those lucky ones that have also been to dark places and survived...

A depth borne of depths, if you will...

Re: What if?

@Silenus

you write of such depth within a person in such a tender..poetic style...

yes there is nothing elitist...no suggestion of society standing...education achievements about it..

there is an ache....a longing to be heard....a longing to speak...

Re: What if?

What if ?
... numbers 4 and 8 play their game together and bring out the best in each other.... so well thought through and worked out... that enlightens the self and humanity

That's all of numerology I understand...
