Re: There is no going back... only moving on...

there is no going back... there is only moving on... to where... no one can really be certain...

it is true... when something arises that is unique and as full of life as I-supp forum had become, it is rare phenomenon. In the beginning things are new… fresh… it occurs out of a spontaneous flow of creative energy... alive … moving freely …it has an attraction… that draws others… inviting and alluring to others… welcoming to all to take part in…

Unfortunately, this newness will not remain.. it [sooner or later] becomes stale and old… like other establishments that have preceded…

and it happens in this way…
when human mind gets involved, as in the moderating of one's own forum, it is most probable that this creative energy will move toward becoming more stagnant.. unless one, as a moderator, is truly aware himself… knows himself … knows what his mind is capable of…

Everyone has the same potential... of going over the deep end... by the positions of power and prestige that one attains… this can easily be seen in this world at large…
As the old adage goes "power corrupts..." And everyone is subject to this corruption... everyone!

It is a matter of whether one has achieved the position of power or not...if he does, then, this is when the test begins... the position of having power merely magnifies the potential that lay within each one of us... failing or passing the test depends on the sharpness of one's intelligence... and more so, the ability of tapping into one’s own intelligence in order to avoid taking the fall or taking the road less traveled …as most politicians are unable to do… as most people in positions of power seem hopeless to avoid… and can not resist from doing. It runs on all levels of human endeavor…

Intelligence is the direct connection with the source of one’s being… everyone has it… it is the very energy that wells up from the depths our existence... from where we all are connected to each other... it is the source of all truly great creativity.
But this access has the potential of becoming blocked and covered over by obsessive mental activities… emotional repressions… over indulgences, etcetera... Understand that intelligence is different from intellect… as the intellect serves the ego… and the ego is a false entity… it does not have a real existence of its own… it lives off the accumulation of knowledge from others… from borrowed information… and from past experiences.

Ego [intellect] wants to claim it knows… and knows it all … and that it is the one that makes it all happen... wanting all the credit. But in actuality, it knows only about the past and what it has learned from others… from other sources… it is not capable of dealing with unpredictable events… of the day to day life experiences… it is powerless when it comes to that which it knows nothing about… the new… the different… the unknown parts of existence… it cannot be creative. It is only good at being destructive...

Because of this, ego becomes very good at hiding this inability to be spontaneous... so others cannnot see it… it becomes so good at concealing and covering this up that it is able to hide this fact even from oneself... And so with this... to help keep this fact hidden... the ego becomes very skilled at calculating... manipulating... planning for future... making agendas... and keeping situations well controlled… for in a contolled environnment, situations can be more predictable, so the ego can become more successful... as a result, those that are thought to be a threat to establishing a controlled situation... those that are thought to be antagonists, agitators or disrupters are either evicted and/or persuaded to depart the scene...

Soon the energy is not moving as freely… becomes more stagnated... the situation becomes less attractive to be around… and people become more and more dis-interested… and the situation spirals downward... The entity that once was very alive, becomes more and more like any other dead establishment… old, unchanging… part of the past… another part of the graveyard.

This is just another repetition of the past. The past keeps repeating itself because man [as a collecticve] remains unaware of himself… of the workings of his mind… the ways it clings to the past… hence, history goes on repeating itself…
It can not be avoided unless man is truly dedicated to waking himself up… becoming discontinuous with his past. It is an arduous affair, but not an impossibility.

This is not to say that Iodine supplementation is not a good form of therapy... this only pertains to the forum as such. All therapies are good when they can bring the dis-eased or ill individual to the point where he can take care of himself. At which point the therapy will no longer be needed.

peace...
