Guest guest Posted November 29, 2005 Report Share Posted November 29, 2005 Dear , I want to let you know that I give you permission to pull the plug on Loving What Is. I had an opportunity to do that after Carol Skolnick left and Tom Barron was no longer interested in moderating the group. I believe that this group no longer serves the purpose it was intended for. I decided not to end at that time because of the rich archives found here in the posts and also the text found in the files. Now I wish I would have! But,I don't know what would happen to that material once the group just ends....does Yahoo archive? I suggest folks visit Doing The Work yahoo group (Steve Cole's group) All the best....

There is no way for me to know if you don´t answer, I am not a mindreader. And as you know, we can always ask for things and that doesn´t automatically mean we get them.

Guest guest Posted November 29, 2005 Report Share Posted November 29, 2005 , I just received this. It's been so long that I have to ask you if this is about Byron . If it is, I would like to participate with this group. Please let me know. Thanks, olli_26 wrote: Dear Group members, I had a look at the vote results so far.

Guest guest Posted November 29, 2005 Report Share Posted November 29, 2005 The question is if the moderators should take any measures when " too much " " off-topic " discussions are going on, starting with gentle reminders, for example. I want to take the results of the poll to see where the contents go from " helpful " to " off-topic " to " annoying " for most of the members. Some may see all posts as helpful, some may not.

Which I have not. At this moment I am only interested in how YOU want me to moderate this list because you are the one who think I don´t take my job cerious, and want me to do it in another way.

Guest guest Posted November 30, 2005 Report Share Posted November 30, 2005 Dear nne, nice to hear from you! And thank you for your permission. As I understand it, this groups serves as reference point for people who have questions, and look for aid or understanding in matters regarding the work in *ANY* way. And maybe even as a place to find things to question their thoughts. Now, there may be enough places to find anything worth questioning already, and the group may not have to be one. Anyway, I can't see anything else in most postings - no matter how far off-topic it would be - than a cry for help. And I don't want to turn someone down who is asking for help. The rest of the postings are an offering for help. I highly recommend the doing-the-work group, and am glad for any assistance it would get. And I do ask anyone who posts there to respect the groups guidelines. That group was created for people who do not wish do discuss the work, as a method, but who would rather actually do the work. This group, on the other hand gives an opportunity to do the work, AND to discuss it. To keep it from getting too far astray, I have to find out what that would mean to group members. I do have difficulties keeping up with every post. Especially if I take an " offtime " of a day or two. I usually just skip the posts that have been posted, then. And I don't really see people discussing anything else than beliefs, here.

Guest guest Posted November 30, 2005 Report Share Posted November 30, 2005 nne, I am very grateful that you didn´t delete this group! Thank you. Being apart of this group means so much to me. I don´t know what stories you have about what the purpose of this group was intended for. My story is that this is one of the few Yahoo-groups that is not regulated with rules, such as " put trigger on posts that might upset someone " , prohibitions to discuss topics that might trigger someone such as sex, religion, politics. You don´t get thrown out of the group or get a warning if you attack someone or call people nasty things or use a foul language. Let´s say that we do as so many other groups, start regulate what people can say and discuss in this group. Do you think this will encourage the pourpose of this group, which according to this groups homepage is: " This group is intended to support people interested in experiencing the four questions and the internal clarity and kindness that enter our lives as a result. It is intended to focus on the sourcebook for The Work, Loving What Is. " I don´t think so. And maybe that was not what you ment either. What I want to say is that 90% of all the Work I do, I do either in this group or in the Doing the Work-group. I love both of the groups, but the difference with the 2 groups are that in the Doing the Work-group you are only suppose to do the Work and support eachother in that. Here I have an opportunity to let all my thoughts out. Isn´t that what the Work is all about, our thoughts? Sometimes I am not capable of doing the Work. Sometimes I just need to vent first. Many times a discussion in this group has made me to question painful thoughts that I wasn´t aware of was controlling my action towards my daughter, my sister, my father. Or myself. I just want to say that I am so thankful for this group and all the wonderful, wise, supporting, amazing people in it. Thank you. Deep gratitude, > > Dear , > > I want to let you know that I give you permission to pull the plug on > Loving What Is.

He annoys me a lot, with his try to argue what is instead of questioning his thoughts. But that is not a reason to throw him out, he give me material to do the work. Lovethework should not be annoyed from the posts in the group, and simply delete what he founds irrelevant for him. Is that true? NO How do I react? I feel uneasiness in my body I feel that he is wrong for wanting to control this list I feel that he is not doing the work to free himself I feel that I am mad at him DO I have a stress free reason to keep the thought? NO Who would I be without the thought?

Guest guest Posted November 30, 2005 Report Share Posted November 30, 2005 I can find a TA that goes like this. My thinking about LTW's posts annoys me. I love LTW's posts, they show me what I need to question about me. I annoy me when I think LTW annoys me. (sometimes) Then I can do the work and LTW is just LTW.

Can you answer these questions? > Hi , Here is a list of what I would like to do if I was a moderator, just my preferences I would limit members to 3 posts per day. I would delete all posts with inappropriate sexual references. I would warn members when they post anything without reference to the Work. I would warn members not to post one-liners expressing appreciation, love or attention for each other. I would remind members to edit out any unnecessary material from previous posts. I would permanently block the posts of members who consistently disregard the wishes of the majority of members on this list. I would remind members of the purpose of this list when the conversation begins to stray. Please note that I am not arguing with what this list is now, because that would be insane. I notice that from the space of peace and clarity within me, love would move me to act as above if I was moderator. As for what you should or shouldn't do as a moderator well that is none of my business, so I can't help you there. I want to be self- realized not or realized. Have a beautiful day " The old song asks, " Why do fools fall in love? " Actually, only fools don't fall in love. Only a fool would believe the lonely, stressful thoughts that tell him that anything could separate him from another human being, or from the rest of the human race, or from birds, trees, pavement, and sky.

Is there seriously > someone who thinks this is a good idea???? > Hi , I think that limiting the posts to three would be brilliant. If a limit is imposed people might think more carefully about which posts they responded to. They might think twice about posting one-liners of love, approval or appreciation, because that would quickly use up all their posts. It would dramatically reduce the amount of traffic on this list. People could actually catch up with all the posts if they didn't read the list for a week or more. I could go on, but I hope you see how useful a posting limit could be. Of course it doesn't have to be three, it could be four or five or whatever the group as a whole was most comfortable with. Have a beautiful day " Love is what you are already. Love doesn't seek anything. It's already complete. It doesn't want, doesn't need, has no shoulds. It already has everything it wants, it already is everything it wants, just the way it wants it. So when I hear people say that they love someone and want to be loved in return, I know they're not talking about love. They're talking about something else.
