Which is why I posted that "OT: ‘Exorcist talked me into sex’" thread. But again I couldn’t get anyone interested in discussing imagination. All anyone (iirc) seemed to talk about was that the woman was stupid to let the guy have sex with her. No one seemed to want to consider that she may (and I’m not saying that this is how it went) have believed his smooth tongue because she needed company so badly. I don’t know if you’ve ever done something crazy because you think it’ll please someone else, but I certainly have. At the moment we’re busy watching a friend walk into a high risk relationship and we know there’s nothing we can say or do. He’s just gotta go through it and hopefully eventually learn his lesson. Or perhaps they’ll surprise us all. I know I certainly hope they do. >>> Back to the point about the paradigm shift – that is important to >>> us, >> Arie spoke about getting rid of all paradigms.

Without getting too into it, I would say it means "model of the world". So getting rid of all paradigms would end up with oneness; a single wholeness.

Everyone’s only doing the best they can, Harvey. So you think you know better, write a book about it. But I’m not sure all this finger-pointing is going to do much good. > If you view it as ‘idea’ – then, there’s nothing wrong with old > morals, such as ‘be honest and truthful’ or more specifically, ‘only > speak the truth’ or ‘don’t lie’ then do it.

Harvey. Of course the ideal is "do not lie." But we are also humans and as such we *do* lie. And we must learn to put in our own effort not to lie. But the problem with pressuring people not to lie is that in itself pressure doesn’t help the person not to lie and it doesn’t stop the feelings of guilt
