Gaia: Collective Wisdom: The Library of Community Threads

Pathological Guru/Disciple Relationships?

http://ADLIAC.gaia.com — Thu, 29 Oct 2009 06:16:07 GMT

This is a long and varied discussion in the Integral Pod, in the Chapel Perspicacious Room, started by Irmeli. Just about any perspective one could take is represented there, and lots of great analyses and insights and lots of wonderful personal stories. The thread is very uplifting and inspiring, not just challenging and expanding our minds.

Lots of links to related cool discussions, too !!!!!!

A Very Special Feature ~ Siona ~ page 2

http://ADLIAC.gaia.com — Sat, 17 Oct 2009 20:41:39 GMT

This thread in Gaia Networking Group showcases so much of the guiding spirit of this community, as embodied in our Director, Siona. In this thread we get to know her more personally and also with respect to her "work" as Director.

This is the second of two threads in the conversation, because the first got too long to load easily in most browsers. There is a link to the first at the beginning of this thread.

I'm contributing this to the Collective Wisdom about our community section of the Library, because it is a classic worthy of study and easy availability to all present and future members of the community!! And because it is so awesomely uplifting and heartwarming!!

Create meaningful community on-line

http://ADLIAC.gaia.com — Sun, 04 Oct 2009 17:22:27 GMT

This long and rich conversation in the Gaia Networking Group was posted last May by Terrill Welch.

http://groups.gaia.com/z_network/discussions/view/440868

We were asked to share our personal top 3 strategies for creating meaningful community online, and many people did, and the discussion also expanded to embrace related topics and strategies. This is a real classic of Collective Wisdom that needs to be a resource used by future community-builders, community-users, community-enhancers.

Siona, the Director of Gaia Community, participated, which enriches the Wisdom even further.

Forgot to mention that the discussion moved to another thread because it got so long. Here is the continuation:

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.

Thanks a bunch for the info and great suggestion for Tom, Meenakshi. If someone thinks THAT thread in One Light is of general enough interest as a compendium of sacred texts, it would be quite appropriate, methinks, to donate that thread to this Library! But it might get complicated. Probably that whole Library would be a great Collective Wisdom compendium, hey, we've never had a whole Room donated before, but, why not?? It might work!

I could appropriately retitle this thread if someone wants to donate here a thread from the One Light Library containing the link to the website Tom is enthused about!

Blessings, OM

This website is linked in the LIbrary of One Light Many Windows.

As Tom is seeking support for this website, perhaps the Gaia Lounge is a good place to post, as there are many members there.

Hi Tom, I am glad you found a great place. I am going to leave your post up, but for future reference this Library is for threads from the Gaia Community discussion groups or blogs.

A good way to call attention to a great website is to put it in Gaia Community Bookmarks section. Did you do that?? Access Bookmarks in the column on the left under "Me."

Also there might be Groups here who would be interested, such as One Light Many Windows. Suggest you let them know about this particular one; it sounds relevant there.

Blessings, OM Bastet

Tom, I've spent a little time on the site. Perhaps someone will see this and throw in a few buckazoids.

Internet Sacred Text Archive

There's a site online called the Sacred Text Archive and I was aghast the last time I went there to see that there's a chance they might have to go out of business. It's a fabulous gold mine for spiritual searchers and this is a request that we support it:

Pod Think?

Posted on Mar 9th, 2009
by mike S

A comment by the blogger on Group Think that seems to pervade groups on Gaia.
It led to quite meaningful comments and discussion by different members who may not have interacted elsewhere on Gaia; and also Siona of the Gaia team.

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!
