Mysticism Forum
    #6355744 -

I would like to post there, but feel I don't understand the rules at all.

Some beliefs can be questioned and others cannot.

Some posts merely expressing the belief of the poster are considered baiting or trolling if the majority has a counter belief.

Some posts ask specifically for opinion on the validity of a proposed idea, but only supporting data may be presented.

Can a senior member please explain so that I know how to play.

I like to fly by the seat of my pants and hope that I can bully or whine my way out of any trouble I get in. It also pays to suck up to Geokills any chance you get. Having him for a friend is really a plus.

The mods in that forum can be a pain to deal with sometimes, but just try to tread lightly. Questions should be asked out of curiosty, not confrontation. Contribute your own thoughts on a subject only if you can phrase them in a way that doesn't seem confrontational. Basically, try to do what you can to not appear dismissive or hostile to other people's beliefs.

And WHATEVER YOU DO, do not post about Vernon Howard, sheep or banana nut bread. These subjects are verboten.

Merely holding certain beliefs may be construed as confrontational. Why all the fear of open discussion?

No, you have it backwards: the ones who bash ideas are afraid of the truth. Only the fearless can post in MR&P.

Beats me. I vaguely remember the split, and thinking it was silly. I think some people just wanted a place to spout out random ideas and superstitions that probably wouldn't hold up under a candle flame.

Eh...whatever, this board is where it's at really.

People wanted a safe space to express ideas without having to provide any basis for holding said ideas.  :shrug:

It seems to keep the peace in P&S, and there are rarely more than 2 people posting in MR&P, so apparently the problem is solved.

Well personally, as a mystic, sometimes I want to discuss mystical topics with other people who get what I'm talking about, and I don't want the topic to be derailed by people asking me for evidence of my claims or telling me that my mystical experiences are just products of my imagination. When I want to debate such things, I go to this forum. Now, some might counter that this is weak-minded, but I'm not against debating these topics in their proper context. There are some topics that need to be discussed among like-minded people.

As far as certain beliefs being construed as inherently confrontational, I don't personally hold that view, but I'm not a mod in that forum, and I've seen those mods being a bit overzealous about that before. I'd like to tell you that they're fair towards everyone, but that would be a lie. I think the idea behind that forum is a good one, but the enforcement of the rules can be a bit shady.

Superior?  No, we are all (apparently) 3D-bound, fear-filled, spirit-hating, immoral and damned to Hell for all eternity.

Some of the more speculative posters in P&S were upset by all the cold-hearted skepticism, so they seceded from us and fortified themselves in MR&P. "Wolves and sheep do not look lovingly at one another."  :laugh:

Oh, so you're a "mystic"?

Don't you know that mystics can't become enlightened?

I became enlightened several years ago.  I lost over 30 lbs., and my scale clearly reflected this enlightening process.  :grin:

You are, of course, absolutely right. But in the words of Zen Master Seung Sahn, you must attain no-attainment.
