I have a saying that is my personal "mantra": "I will never be as Godlike as I aspire to be, but I will continue to aspire in that direction". Well, that aspiration has never been so challenged as it has been in this forum. It has the feel of "the inmates running the asylum", with inane personal attacks being a favored and supported game.
Which is not to say that it hasn't been a pleasure to engage with many of you, who have more to offer, and make that choice. Before joining, I have viewed posts and threads that I found interesting and engaging, while being reticent to join in what in the original ESMB incarnation was all too frequently inundated with unhappy people circling the wagons to take potshots at convenient targets.
When I saw my video posted here, I was moved to clarify one or two things and give it a go, and it took about a week for the weasels and hyenas to come out and do what they do best. Frankly, I'm finding it too demanding to try to maintain a line of conversation while several people inundate my conversations with inane pretend logic to distract, annoy, defame and belittle. Those of you doing this, you think you're an example of being outside and above the mentality of the Church of Scientology, but in reality you are manifesting the same mindtrap. Just because its anything you can find a way to relate to Scientology that you're "fairgaming" and "dead-agenting", that doesn't show that you've "escaped the trap"; you are squarely right there in it, in that game, refusing to actually connect, have empathy, appreciate, and attacking with a rigid, refusing to actually listen, totally defensive attitude. You are not acting or behaving the slightest bit better than the C of S. I invite those of you who are so inclined to connect with me through Facebook or my website, I quite appreciate many of you. That being said, thanks for the experience. Best, Dex
