A Call for Cordiality Among FE / OU / NE Compatriots
It is one thing to try and steer a person in a
direction which you believe to be the right way, however it is another to
attempt to drag a person into the same hole you have fallen into just for the
sake of company.

Subject: Can't we all just get along?
Hi Group,
I would like to first say, that this is not a letter inferring to any one
particular forum or organization, but is a widespread problem that I have
noticed among all NE/FE/OU advocates and organizations.
People, I believe that there is already more than enough resistance from the
main-stream out there to have to deal with in matters of NE/FE/OU tech. Can we
just agree to disagree rather than let our time be wasted by bickering amongst
ourselves.
I hope that everyone would agree that we all have a right to voice our own
opinions, and I believe that this is a good thing however, let us remember that
views on physics have and will continue to change for a long time yet to come.
Whether a person is right or wrong will eventually be proven by experiment not
by words alone. It is my own opinion mind you, that every single individual in
this world who's intentions and motives are for the betterment of mankind and
our world, deserves our help and admiration not to mention, respect.
If our motives and intentions are not for the betterment of mankind and
our world, then they are the same as those who stand against us and as the
saying goes, a house divided can not stand, no matter how strong the foundation!
The fact that we are all individuals with our own views and means of
understanding is actually a strength which should be encouraged. Let's learn
from the past and remember that every new idea and invention has met with
doubter's who proved nothing except their own arrogance and ignorance about
things they really did not understand completely.
None of us, no matter who they are, knows everything about everything. That is
the only thing that I know for an absolute certainty. It is one thing to try and
steer a person in a direction which you believe to be the right way, however it
is another to attempt to drag a person into the same hole you have fallen into
just for the sake of company.
The reason that I resigned my membership on the [*****] forum was because of the
constant in-fighting and narrow minded ways in which that forum was conducted
and so, rather than continuing to feel as though I constantly needed to defend
myself from attacks, I walked away.
It seems that no matter what a person says or how polite and cordial a way a
person tries to state something, there is always someone who just wants a fight
and will do anything to provoke one. This to me is expending far more energy
than is necessary and is extremely illogical and irrational. I am afraid to say
anything anymore in any of these forums other than my own, for fear of being
attacked. This is not a good thing and to me, indicates extreme insecurity
issues in a person rather than any sign of intelligence.
I do not claim to be the best or the brightest crayon in the box and I would
hate to have to try and live up to such an image. Also, a persons true
intelligence will be directed by wisdom and this will be evident by how he/she
conducts themselves. Sometimes, the wisest decision is to simply not say
anything, but I believe that this is such a huge issue among all the groups that
I have had contact with that this cannot be ignored any longer.
There will likely be some who will attack me for saying this and who believe
that this is not a free energy issue. I believe it is a big issue and one that
needs to be dealt with now before much more time is wasted. I send my
congratulations to those of you who understand and can see the importance of
ceasing and desisting from participating in such behavior.
Hopefully we at least can move on to better and more productive things.
Best Regards All,
James

What difference does it make how I present the
information? If I feel strongly about something
then it most likely will sound confrontational
no matter how I choose my words.

A Kind Heart Makes All the Difference
Charity of heart is the greatest gift that we can seek.
Have you given up on such a quest?
It does matter how we compose our words.
Remember karma.
That which you send out shall return to you again and be restored.
Will you send out good or ill?
You might think you know something, but even you know that you know much more
now ten years later than you did ten years ago, including some new insight that
ten years ago you thought you knew for certain.
One who insists that his way is the only way makes for miserable company.
You might have great knowledge, but your words are as poisoned darts.
The substance is lost in the tone.
What a shame.
Knowledge without charity. The devil can claim the same.
We aspire to greater things than that.
How about some charity.
