Two Schools

Woody states:

There are two schools of thought, and each promises peace and prosperity thru Unity. One teaches the power of disagreement and the other the power of agreement.

Then he tells us that I basically represent the school of agreement and Dean that of disagreement.

I will admit that Dean represents the spirit of disagreement--at least as I define the term. He is so determined to be disagreeable that if I reject a post of his here, he broadcasts his bitter arguments with me wherever he can post around the internet, even comparing me to Hitler.

I don't have time to recap your post, Woody, but I do not think I fit in either camp you describe. Like most other people I seek for agreement, but do not demand it. Neither am I disappointed if it does not occur.

On the other hand, I disagree with a lot of people and have no problem in voicing my opinions. I have no problem with other people disagreeing with me. Some of my strongest supporters have strongly disagreed with me in the past and have not been censored in the least. I would guess there are over a half million words on file of posts from those who have disagreed with me. I think we are as tolerant here as any list of any size on the internet I know of.

That said the path to the union through the soul can begin with either agreement or disagreement. If two people already have soul contact and see how principles play out through the soul they will usually start and end in oneness. Only if the personality of one gets in the way will there be a problem.

If two disagree on something related to a principle this tells us that either one or both of them are out of harmony with the soul. As soon as both of them achieve harmony through the soul they will be one in spirit and see eye to eye.

This applies as far as the language of the Holy Spirit is concerned, which is the language of principles. When it comes to details, taste and data two people in the soul can disagree, but if they are in the soul they will not be disagreeable.

Woody:

Notice what I have done. Dean and I are friends. I have disagreed with him. He and I are of the school of disagreement, and I know my friendship with him safe. It is a wonderful, wonderful moment to know the friends that you have don't place their love for you on whether or not you disagree with them. He has his opinions and I have mine. I am free myself and One with him at the same time. Cool system this one of disagreements, huh?

I haven't seen you disagree much if any with him. You even joined his fledgling list and have been throwing in your support. Certainly you have not attacked his posts line by line with nonsensical negatives as he has done with me. I think if you did that the oneness feeling you have with him would evaporate quite quickly.

There are a number of people on this list who disagree with me periodically that I feel an inner oneness with, but if I were to attack them line by line with a shotgun blast of negative words that inner oneness would be shaken.

Blind agreement does not bring soul contact, but being as agreeable as possible certainly helps.

Global Warming Enlightenment:  Arctic sea level has been falling more than 2 millimeters a year--a movement that [supposedly] sets the region against the global trend of rising waters. A Dutch-UK team made the discovery after analyzing radar altimetry data gathered by Europe's ERS-2 satellite.   http://www.iceagenow.com/Arctic_Sea_Level_Falling.htm
