A Disturbance in the Force
Gonzo said:As often happens on this forum, a person might respond to a post, speaking specifically to the subject at hand. However, if appropriate, someone with insight might notice something in the respondent's words with respect to their programs or illusions that is worthy of pointing out. Upon reading the comments, the respondent misses the deeper message and deals with the superficial context - the original topic of discussion, not realizing (or willfully ignoring), for whatever reason, that the topic has temporarily changed away from the original subject to the new subject: whatever the insightful person recognized.
This, I believe, is what is happening with you transientP. You seem to keep coming back to the original subject and the substance of your post and cannot let go of it enough to shift the paradigm and see the discussion is about you (or one of your programs) and not necessarily the subject of war, minutiae or the right use of energy. Is has become apples and oranges.
This is why you seem to feel an argument is forming when, in fact, effort is being made to have you shift the paradigm away from the apples and over to the oranges.
If you go back to the beginning, you will see the shift was away from the topic to your suggesting t bngenoh's energy might better be directed away from the minutiae and toward the work. Anart commented that bngenoh was merely paying attention to the reality around us, as SotT was also doing.
If you hadn't reacted at that point, you would have been able to receive the information. Instead, your predator or wounded ego created several dance steps to fool you into a thought loop to avoid dealing with anart's comment.
Everything that came after was in response to the dance steps you laid out and efforts of others to steer you back.
At least that's how I see it.
Had you allowed yourself to feel the heat and delved further, you might have benefited greatly from the momentum. However, things have cooled down so it might be that the best you can get from this is an understanding of how to take advantage of the next opportunity when it arises, if you are able.
I hope this makes some sense. I don't feel proficient in explaining it, but I've seen it happen enough, even with me in the hot seat, that I appreciate these opportunities when they arise.

That sums it up. So, it might be worth your time, transientP to re-read your posts this thread as if someone else wrote them - and see if you can see what others see. If you can, then you'll gain insight you seem to be currently missing. If you can't, then, I'm sure other opportunities will arise.
