August 22, 2007 “My Higher Self explains why I left my political forum yesterday”

I just took this down from my Higher Self, She is explaining why She had me leave my political forum yesterday. I needed to hear all this to understand, but it may not interest anyone but me.
All my love, Lulu

Annie was not going to blog this morning, it was my idea. Yes she opened her eyes with “o no another day,” but to her surprise she discovered it was just an expression of anxiety about facing a new day. And after she made her coffee and ate her glazed donut with it, there was a happy feeling of well being. The desert has turned into a garden from all the rain, and she was surprised and happy with all the greenery. And there was just a sense of “all rightness” about things.

But yesterday evening I had suggested she leave the political forum where she posts, and go over to a new one. And since she does what I suggest, she posted a good-bye on the political forum where she posts, and registered at a new one. And I want to talk to her about this. She woke up feeling OK, so the decision must sit well with her. But that is not the same thing as understanding it. And it will help her to understand it because some posters will plead with her in private mail to come back, and she won’t understand why she left.

What triggered the leaving was: out of nowhere, when she had been posting there yesterday, she received a totally hostile post. Since she has received gazillion totally hostile posts over the years of posting at political forums, she assumed I would smooth out her ruffled feathers, which I always do, and that would be that. It would pass into nothingness. Which is what always happened in the past.

And it was quite easy for me to smooth her ruffled feathers, by merely pointing out the post was crack-pot. The hate was palpable but the "cause" was crackpot. Its content was as far fetched as saying “I hate you because you are an elephant and spend your days flying around the Empire State Building and I can’t stand it.” It wasn’t as obvious as this because it was all couched in political terms. But it was as crazy as that. "He's nuts" I said, and she calmed down.

She was watching an old Gary Cooper western on TV, which wasn’t holding her interest, she had seen it before, it wasn’t her favorite movie, and to her surprise I kept returning to the topic of the unpleasant post, which she couldn’t understand since I had already succeeded in calming her down from it.

And finally by the time the second Gary Cooper western came on, which also did not hold her interest, and I had returned to the topic for about the 5th time, I suggested she leave that forum and go to another one. All she really did is check with me that that is what I really wanted, she didn’t ask for an explanation, just accepted that I said it was a good idea. And she got up to do it.

And so I helped her compose a good-bye post under the hostile post where I made it perfectly clear it was not in response to the hostile post, but just a good idea in general. And I had her express gratitude for all the friendliness she had received, and ask God's blessing on all the posters there, and she gave all her love. And that was it. And then I had her go over to a brand new political forum she had never been on and register there.

And even tho she had not been on that forum for that long, she had made friends there, and there was a tiny tear about leaving. But when she came back an hour later to click on private mail -- she had already posted one tiny post at the new forum and was learning how to navigate that forum, but it was still new and unknown to her -- in private mail on the forum she had just left, she received a letter from Calamity, saying Lulu, please don’t go, you have brought love to this forum and love is sorely needed here.

And of course she weakened and melted, because she thought “how can it possibly be a good thing to leave a place where I have brought love and the love is appreciated.” And this is why I want to talk to Annie about the decision now.

Darling, it is a very small forum, and it is a forum which cannot grow. It cannot grow for two reasons. One, half the posters are into ethnic hatred, and that turns off normal posters who might be otherwise attracted to it. And even if they, like you, were willing to overlook the ethnic hatred problem, they would then run into the other problem you have there. It is group think. You are not allowed to see anything differently than how the group sees it. And since how the group sees it, is totally false, they like you, would have to keep their mouth shut on every other topic, beside wanting Ron Paul to be President. You are willing to stay there and have had a nice experience there, because you give so much love, it enriches your experience. The third problem with this forum, and this only affects you, is that you have history with its owner, from when you were both posters together on a previous political forum. And you have zero faith in her integrity.

If you remember, when I first suggested you leave, I did give you a reason, I said it is not a wholesome forum. Already here are 3 reasons why forum is hampered by lack of wholesomeness. A problem of ethnic hatred on it; intolerance of other points of view politically; and a forum owner who believes the false ideology espoused on the forum plus practices quixotic personal behavior.

Fourth, and this is very serous. As many posters who love you because of the love you offer to all, there are just as many posters who hate you for this. As ego recognizes this love comes from Me, and hates and despises Me.

So darling I beg you. Even tho you have made many wonderful lovely cherished friends there, who you love, and who love you. You are on a tiny forum which cannot grow. You have to repress yourself from posting on most topics. And you will never be able to relax there. Hate will break out towards you when you least expect it.

Maybe it will be easier for you to leave, if you realize you are doing them a favor by leaving. Yes it is an unwholesome forum, but the unwholesomeness had not broken thru the surface. Many posters were content and happy there. If you stay there and continue to let Me pour My love into the forum, it will push the unwholesomeness to the surface. And darling, no one there wants that. So our loving goodbye is just what the doctor ordered, let us leave it at that.

All my love to all of you, Lulu's Higher Self
