Hello everyone,

A Cup Of Tea said:
on the top of this thread at the level of "Page 2 of..." but on the right I have 'Watch Thread'. Do you have the same or something else?

I've got 'unwatch thread' which is right, because I'm watching it. I have uncrossed 'And receive emails' in my 'preferences' and 'alert preferences'. I can also go to 'more options' at the end of the thread and untick 'And receive emails'.

Done all that.
Thanks

From what I have seen...the higher you are on the spiritual chain, the less likely you are to have a need to convert others.

Agreed, and yet the Great Names at the top — the Abrahams, the Moseseses :confused:, the Christs, the Buddhas (no, I am not suggesting multiples of any one of these), all of 'em, did just that. Why did they not just sit back and say, a la Vonnegut, 'So it goes ...' or, in todays's rather more mundane parlance, 'Yeah, whatever ...'?

Or maybe they work through more discreet ways ... I am not sure I would agree that someone who knows the love of God / the light of truth / the freedom from suffering would not try and brings others out of the proverbial darkness. Does a man who does not thirst feel no need to offer water to the thirsty? Only if he's a selfish s.o.b, surely?

No I think you should try klicking it to unwatch it.

Ranking things that are unmeasurable always bring complications.

Yes, they didnt have to actively recruit by beating on doors or arguing on forums I'm right.

They converted by being, by walking their walk and others wanting to know, begging to know what it was that they knew that others didn't.

When everyone is in flumox during the storm and one is calm and serene... If you ain't crazy you must know something...

A tad romantic perhaps, but I'm not inclined to disagree.
