There are some lesbian people at my workplace that are regularly judgmental of others and foster gripe sessions at the expense of others. This probably has to do more with human pack mentality and people that don’t fit into the norm. I don’t think spirituality or sexual orientation has anything to do with it, but I did once read a zimbabwean proverb that said “never laugh at anyone worse off than you, it might be you tomorrow”.

My only point with my reference . . . and other posts I have
made in regard to prejudices/judgements with regard
to sexual orientation, race, what have you, is that
such things demonstrate to me SPIRITUAL WEAKNESS.A loving spiritually advanced person does not behave in such ways.
If someone supposedly spiritually advanced does demonstrate
such things, they have provided evidence to me they are not at the
level “they claim to be”.S
If you felt reading such an interchange of posts
was a waste of time, I’m happy to restrict them
to private email to relevant parties.I only post publicly because I assume others
may find the discussion interesting.If I’m in error, I’m happy to discontinue with
no hard feelings.S
I just lost track of all my thoughts, its all your fault.
To me, the yin resting phase of alchemy is still dynamic, and doesn’t have anything to do with following the breath or letting go of thoughts. It’s about experiencing the qualities of energy that are in process, being more “deeply in process”. This also implies that there is an awareness that is aware of that experience, and is more deeply embodied.
Yes
Though this also implies “spiritual strength”…another duality. But I hear what you’re saying. It makes me think of the part of ourselves that is comfortable being closed off from the boundary-less mind of nature…people feel comfortable putting down others because it makes them feel questionably safe.
that’s a good question…It does feel like things have shifted. I have dropped some things that clouded my life, and feel a little clearer now in many areas; work, general emotional condition, and maybe seen some areas that have been lacking and am now attending to them.
