Forfucksake:
Greetings.
You said,"I realise now that what seemed to bug me about his/her style was the fact that I heard my own voice sounding just as preachy (remembering a few posts I've made). So for that, I thank you, true."
So basically, you see as you think and think as you see.
Wouldn't you like to get out of that cycle?
You said, "True, a little reciprocity for helping me hear the voice of my preaching...a recommendation actually. Seriously.
Since you seem to like writing about what you are involved with, give it some purpose: Write a book. But don't just regurgitate the same information. Make it useful for a reader, give it some context, come from a different angle; talk about how it has changed your life so maybe a person in a similar situation can apply it and benefit like you believe you have."
Usefulness isn't something I can make for you or anyone else. You know very well that it's a matter of personal power.
People love to hear stories... personal stories about persons... because they're afraid of the non-person, the impersonal awareness, that we truly are. They want to shield themselves from that fact with personal stories.
Could it be possible that I am already aware of how I am posting, and that I strategically choose to post that way to avoid the personal? Knowledge isn't personal. There is no person to whom knowledge belongs. It doesn't have angles. People have angles. My life hasn't changed! lol! And I don't believe anything.
Sincerely,
true
