Hex 20 line 5 & 6. Discuss??

Hi Trojina
Again you are right. Green Hazel did not make the comment about wisdom being ageless and never dying that was my comment. I see that you did not cite me as the author of these words that you included in you post and took time to comment on.

Just so you are aware, I wonder why you conflate my post with that of Green Hazel. I was purely making comment and supporting him with my words without any reference to his original post. That held little interest for me. Then having read through the thread I was again, in my own way, struck by the wisdom that was held in the thread.

For me and seemingly for Green Hazel - The date of the thread is immaterial, who the comment was addressed to and who it was written by is immaterial.

What is material is that they observed something in those words that inspired them to repost the words with the single intent, held within, 'THIS' of bringing it to the attention of others for them to see. This carries the true weight of inspiration and sharing.

Similarly whether the OP is dead or alive matters little. What is alive is the post she started. That is her remaining gift to the Forum, whether she is still a member or not, and I am grateful for and honour that gift.

This is my take on what I have read in the thread and what I have written here and I do not intend these words to be an answer for Green Hazel. They can do that if they choose to.

Wisdom not only is ageless - I glad to see you agree - but is something that creeps up on us from, at times, the unlikeliest of sources. All is incumbent on us to have our eyes wide open to see it. Whether directed at us individually or not, if we are observant enough, then we have opportunity to become wiser, through seeing clearly what is on offer in any situation. There is nothing logical, nor are there any hard and fast rules, in the ways of how wisdom is seen or where it emanates from.

Take Care

Of course it isn't 'immaterial' but if you find it perfectly usual and a good use of time to spend time writing replies to those who haven't been here for 16 years or are dead or left then that's up to you. For me it is certainly relevant and I will continue to give a heads up where I see that happening.

Your confusion here is that I never said anything at all about GH saying 'this', my last post was from 2018 addressed to someone else not her. It was GH who began asking me about a comment I made to someone else back then as if it were addressed to her.

Similarly whether the OP is dead or alive matters little. What is alive is the post she started. That is her remaining gift to the Forum, whether she is still a member or not, and I am grateful for and honour that gift.

Suit yourself. I actually like to know if I am writing to someone who is there because time is short and I prefer to spend my time writing to those who exist. You can do what you like. Not sure why you need to tell me how grateful you are, it's not relevant to my reply to GH. And the absurd thing is GH was replying to a 2018 post of mine.

Yes of course it matters if the OP is alive. If you don't think so that's your opinion.

You completely missed the point...that I made to someone else in 2018 that GH replied to.....but it's getting ridiculous. Personally I'd rather not take it as incumbent upon myself to feign not minding if the one I write to is dead or long gone. That would be a highly inauthentic position for me to take, one that denies reality in favour of appearing quite far above it all. I mean one doesn't get much more above it all than lecturing someone that it doesn't matter if the one they write to is dead or alive. Good Grief. I think your wisdom is best kept for those who are more appreciative of it.

Take Care

You take care if you want.


I do wonder why you felt the need to come and dismiss so fully a post I write in 2018 to someone else that wasn't even ever addressed to GH. The gist of your lecture appears to be that it really doesn't matter if people want to write to dead people or people that left 15 years ago. Well the world doesn't stop that's for sure but it can mean some people waste their time answering those who aren't there and that's a pity when there are so many who are here who could use that respondent's time.

But if you personally love to write to the dead and those who have left the forum there is no reason you shouldn't, there's nothing stopping you advising them on how to be wiser and more spiritual and all that. It is relevant however for the thread in general merely to have an awareness that the OP has gone. That awareness was all I was giving back in my 2018 comment GH replied to. To say the fact that the OP has gone is not relevant to the thread is to my mind an absurdity. Hence I think it is fine just to point out if the OP has gone so that other members don't waste time through being unaware. If they are aware but still want to advise the dead/long gone on an issue well it's up to them.

And be clear people might be replying on old threads to other members not the OP anyway and that's a different matter if the discussion had moved on from the OP's question.

Just so you are aware, I wonder why you conflate my post with that of Green Hazel. I was purely making comment and supporting him with my words without any reference to his original post.

I was clear it was you so there was no conflation. However I will edit so it is clear who I am quoting

Hi Trojina

The one thing you are not seeing is that my original post was not directed at you or anything you have said in the past. It was directed purely at Green Hazel and then in expressing how useful reading this old thread had been to me. If you believe it is directed at you then, that is what you see, and clearly that is your belief.

You have clearly expressed what you see as unreasonable and what you feel are the points I missed and have defended your views vigorously. Your post carries many projections about what you have seen in my words. As I have explained to you before, both publicly and privately, what you read into my words is all a matter for you to reconcile yourself with. I will honestly tell you when what you have said reflects my intentions.

Perhaps, what you are seeing lies more in the realms of 20.1 - 20.4. You though are the only person who can see what wisdom there is for you to observe in this re-energised thread. Perhaps, there is none at all!

I am taking the stance again that we will have to agree to disagree.

Take care.
