     The difference would be that I, unlike you, am not based in
knowledge, but in the spirit of understanding.  I do not express what
I know; I express what I see and understand.  It is quite beyond
knowledge. Direct perception is always beyond knowledge and can only
be approximated when words are used to communicate that which is
beyond the ken of knowledge. This is rather self-evident to anyone who
lives life at that vibration of intelligence.  There are no "in so
many words" to it.  It is a fact.  See it or not, get it or don't.
That is the simplicity of it.

     Example:  You are upset with me. Why?  Your pride is hurt because
you feel insulted (unless you are speaking for others, in which case
you are way out of line).  I have not insulted you or anyone else.  I
have merely expressed my observations as accurately as the letter of
the words used will allow.  You can judge me all you want because of
your feeling of inadequacy; but sooner or later you will see that if
you have not linked with the spirit behind the words used,  you can
not hold another responsible for what you cannot understand.  That is
what is behind Christ's statement of "judge not lest ye be judged."
You may not  twist another's meaning of their words to suit your
agenda. That's reserved for lawyers and politicians.  To what you and
others write, I pay close attention attention--not only to the letter
of the words, but to the spirit of the words.  If it is true, I
ackowledge it and adapt.  If it does not ring with truth (and I am the
arbiter of my truth), it is let go. All of this happens in a moment
out of time.  There is no intellectual analysis that goes on.  Aside
from technical matters which require intellectual analysis, my mind is
relatively quiet. 

    Does that answer your question?  By the way, what you have said
so far in the post is nonsense, as I perceive it.  It is argumentative
and has no spirit of love attached to it.  There is no energy
exhibited of a true desire to understand.

    I can  say that I do not share your problems.  That's the honest
truth of it.  I've understood the lesson of pettiness long ago and
will not participate in any of it.

     No, that was based on an actual "Saturday Night Live" skit.  The
truth of it was overwhelming, and so I thought I would share that with
people on the net.  Your inability to see the clarity of something in
and of itself without twisting it is some way is indicative of your
level of consciousness.  But that's your business.

     Again, to understand, and not to argue, requires a quiet mind
capable of seeing "What Is" unfold in the moment without adding
interpretive judgment to it.  If you can't do it, another cannot tell
you how to do it. It is like a baby learning to walk and talk.  At
that level, their intelligence guides them.  They are not subject to
the dumbing-down process until they reach school age.  I recognize
early child abuse can affect the intelligence of an infant, but the
process I am speaking of is the state of prideful ignorance based in
the acquisition of knowledge.

     Rob, are you blind  to your preemptive word twisting?  Are you
unaware of the seething, angry, argumentative energy behind your
words?  How is communication possible with all of the psychological
noise going on inside of you?

     I am aware of and take responsibility for what I have expressed

    It is the spirit of the words that we use in order to express
ourselves which reveal us to all who are perceptive.  The spirit of
the words contains within itself the "vibratory ring" which
discriminates truth from deception.  The letter of the words are where
all of the word games are played.  One must examine for themselves to
determine where their attention, their awareness is drawn.  The seeker
of truth is drawn to the spirit, while the hypocrite game player is
addicted to the letter of the word, for that is where his need for
power lies.
 
   If all of us were to apply this question to all communications put
to us, whether favorable or unfavorable to our self image, our world
would change rather quickly.  What is the Question?  REGARDLESS
OF HOW I AM REACTING TO THE PRESENT INFORMATION
I AM RECEIVING, IS THE BOTTOM LINE STATEMENT TRUE?
