I enjoyed participating in the conversation yesterday, it's a pleasure for me to engage in spiritual debate (it doesn't happen all that often these days), but today I have felt heavy and disinclined to log in. After Sree disappeared, I felt the same heaviness and haven't participated much there since, though I didn't know he'd been banned until it came up recently. I don't think I have it in me to question your banning there, but based on my sense of heaviness when these things happen, I don't think it's a good thing for the forum to be banning folks in this manner. Both you and Sree are clearly spiritually inclined, and have valid input on spiritual conversation, regardless of whether I agree with both your views or not. I'm not even sure why I've just expressed this. I'm uncomfortable with something, and guess I wanted to say it. I'll also add that I can't fight it, but I don't support it. I don't quite have it in me to apologize to you for that, but the sense of apology is swirling around my energy a bit. I appreciate your expressing this Andrew.... the epitome of transparent...honest and sincere when it comes to this stuff...very refreshing.  But yeah, I agree, both Sree and now Robertk were genuinely and sincerely engaging and contributing, which meant, finally some really decent 'spiritual' conversations happening over there. It's a shame those convos were cut short like that. I hadn't realized Sree got banned. For what specific reason? Jeez, Reefs is such a tyrant! The forum is his/her personal fiefdom. What are Reefs personal pronouns anyway? |

Hello all, This is 'robertk' from the spiritualteachers website. I recently got banned by admins there (I'm assuming Reefs). I tried to create a second 'ghost' account, to simply announce that I was banned, so that people knew why I wasn't responding to messages, but that message was deleted and that account was banned as well. Haha. Anyway, I thought I'd say 'hi', because I think it's funny that I was banned, and I remember this site as a forum for exiles. Robert I enjoyed participating in the conversation yesterday, it's a pleasure for me to engage in spiritual debate (it doesn't happen all that often these days), but today I have felt heavy and disinclined to log in.

I don't quite have it in me to apologize to you for that, but the sense of apology is swirling around my energy a bit. Thanks. For what it's worth, I don't think you have anything to apologize for or that you or others should be fighting the bans. Sometimes I really laugh about the forum conflicts. Other times I feel more of the unpleasantness, or I start to worry about people's mental stability. Like I said, I go back and forth on when to push back or fight. |

I know Zendancer is a real person, but do you know the other admin(s) over there, "Peter". I think it's just the three of them. (?) He's never around, and today he logs into talk about that "Seth" psychic medium stuff. 🤔

[...] Exactly. Throughout the years I've shared some personal health stuff, both back on ST and now on Gab. There are pages of conversation where Reefs used my sharings in precisely the way you describe. And more recently, when I shared here that I was dx'd with breast cancer back at the end of 2021, Reefs started going extra hard on the whole Ramana/Niz cancer issue. I've engaged long enough with Reefs to know all the insidious moves of that sort. Reefs has a deep mean streak. Way back she reached out by PM, knowing Enigma and I were clashing in our post exchanges, and used that as a basis to trash E to the nines, simply because he dared to question Reefs LOA assertions. Previous to that, Reefs was as buddy/buddy with E as one could get. It all felt incredibly manipulative and it became clear, the only reason Reefs reached out to me was to try to garner support for the trashing. So it's really clear that Reefs is very, very intolerant of those who challenge her views. I smell a bona-fide narcissist. Thanks for sharing that. I guess i have to keep in mind that others ARE wired differently in terms of personality that way. All good. However you slice it, it's absolute bs the way she blocked you when you already had said you were gonna lay low for a bit. Clearly she was spinning off in a vindictive tantrum of sorts and wanted to stick it to you...let you know she had the power to wield it over you like that. Messed up individual, all around. Sorry to hear about that diagnosis. I'll say a prayer for some healing energy for you. Thanks for some of those gory details. Interesting to know some backstory of the forum dramas. |

It was after that comedy situation I told you about. I asked Reefs if he could use deliberate creation to swim faster than a dolphin. It went downhill fast. Sree kept talking about Reefs' behavior and then suddenly disappeared. Eventually someone asked where he was, and Reefs said he had banned him, I think for a month. I may only have a month too, but it doesn't tell me. I just get an empty screen that says "you are banned from this forum". |

I actually prefer the Facebook groups like Enlightenment Now and Advaita and non-duality because there's a much wider range of opinions from many more participants. |

Oh, that's so kind, thanks Robert...appreciate that.... Am currently in remission...cancer free......strong sense things will remain this way...but ultimately, well aware, ultimately, as far as bodies go....not one of us is gettin outta here alive.  Hehe..&..yeah, definitely a bit of a 'gory' story all that forum stuff....very dramatic indeed...& really, when looked at re: the big picture, all ultimately kind of silly, but nevertheless, how it went is apparently still well in play, as far as unfolding story goes. |

I wasn't told, but you can see the thread. I tell him I think he's full of it about the cancer/alignment stuff. He gets worked up and tells me I'm too worked up. Then I made the Nurse Ratched reference to you, and that was my last post. Technically I don't think he owns the forum. So if people wanted to get rid of him, they probably could. I'll check out those other groups. For now I'm probably fine with nothing for a while. |
