This thread continues to be quite active and ever-deepening. At this point we're talking about confession, absolution, imprisonment and other topics in relation to forgiveness.

Blessings, OM

Forgiveness - How it worked for me

http://ADLIAC.gaia.com — Thu, 10 Sep 2009 07:15:15 GMT

This awesome current thread in One Light Many Windows is an amazing collection of wisdom on this important subject of life. I suppose it could also be considered for inclusion in the Room here about Collective Wisdom about Spiritual Matters, but I think there are so many physical and psychological, Quality of Life benefits involved in forgiving, I am putting it in this category of the Library.

This is not an abstract discussion; there are many personal examples and heartfelt comments.

Many people get frustrated when their partner isn't into spiritual or personal growth or improvement. Here's a discussion spanning several years, on this classic and important relationship issue. It's a very alive topic, and you can contribute to it here!

Defining Masculine and Feminine

http://ADLIAC.gaia.com — Fri, 30 Jan 2009 07:15:57 GMT

http://groups.gaia.com/ii/conversations/view/387170

This thread in the Integral Pod, started by Pelle, is relatively free from Wilberspeak, and contains so many profound -- intellectually and emotionally profound -- perspectives that it really does reflect a great deal of Collective Wisdom on this topic of universal interest. This thread goes beyond the usual level of discussion, beyond the labels and stereotypes.

tags: masculine, feminine, agency, communion, feminism. labels, history, suppression, violence, wounds, Muslims, gender, language, healing, growing, evolving, perspectives, communication, research, child-rearing, biology, culture, male, female, patriarchy

At the time of this posting here, the thread is still quite active.

Blessings, OM Bastet

Hi Sherri, happy that you stopped by and gave us some background about how this blog emerged, for you!

Thanks for that and for the blog itself !!

Sorry to be so late in coming by. It has been a BUSY WEEK.

Thank you so much for the honour of bringing my blog to this fantastic pod!

I like the Q&R's because they get me to thinking. And I get to practise my writing and spontaneous expression :D

This one made me recall my life experiences, particularly those involving voluntarism. I don't endorse voluntarism in the way I used to, in recognising it is often the same clan doing all the most distasteful bits. But I do encourage generosity in spirit because of the wonderful sense of meaning and satisfaction which comes from giving from a very joyful place. It's like a major bonus for helping another out.

Seeing so many others are waking up to this deeper blessing is really really inspiring to me! I hope it will become the norm very soon!

Thank you again,

Sherri

Remarkable insights about agreeing and disagreeing with people and how it is perceived as love or lack of it.

EYE OPENING DATA - humankind knows...

http://Meenakshi.gaia.com — Fri, 16 Jan 2009 03:56:40 GMT

It is a short blog, an explanation of an embedded video; but the timing, informativeness and subject have caused this to be a life affirming blog for many, not least Sherrilene, whose blog is also featured today. At this time, there are 33 comments. ~KES has given her consent to her blog being added here.

What question would you most like answered? Why Bother?

http://Meenakshi.gaia.com — Fri, 16 Jan 2009 03:49:12 GMT

Sherrilene started with a pithy, potent question:

Why bother?

Events transpired that caused her to change her mind, first as she was writing and then even more strongly as she was led to ~KES/Kathy's blog Eye Opening Data that helped her tilt towards 'why NOT bother'. [That blog is also being entered in this board].
