Welcome to General Chat - GAW Community Area
This General Chat area started off as a place for people to talk about things that are off topic, however it has quickly evolved into a community and has become an integral part of the GAW experience for many of us.
Based on its evolving needs and plenty of user feedback, we are trying to bring some order and institute some rules. Please make sure you read these rules and participate in the spirit of this community.
Rules for General Chat
-
Be respectful to each other. This is of utmost importance, and comments may be removed if deemed not respectful.
-
Avoid long drawn out arguments. This should be a place to relax, not to waste your time needlessly.
-
Personal anecdotes, puzzles, cute pics/clips - everything welcome
-
Please do not spam at the top level. If you have a lot to post each day, try and post them all together in one top level comment
-
Try keep things light. If you are bringing in deep stuff, try not to go overboard.
-
Things that are clearly on-topic for this board should be posted as a separate post and not here (except if you are new and still getting the feel of this place)
-
If you find people violating these rules, deport them rather than start a argument here.
-
Feel free to give feedback as these rules are expected to keep evolving
In short, imagine this thread to be a local community hall where we all gather and chat daily. Please be respectful to others in the same way
The goal was never to awaken everyone, regarding consciousness, "let those who have ears hear". It is understood by God that not all evolve at the same rate, we do what we can in our own circle of connection. All we can do is to get people thinking, that is what a good teacher does.As I have grown and aged, my circle has grown smaller to the ones who do want to expand awareness. I have suggested to people to be aware of the energy they consume from what they expose themselves to. To compare how they feel after something that is approved and sanctioned by God, and to what is not. Right down to the music that they listen to and what colors they use in their homes. We know that the closer the food we eat is in it's natural state as oppossed to overly processed food like substances that pass as food. That is a good start. We use the word "closer to God", but God is close in the natural world, and HE works through others in the terrible cities and corners of depravity. Still, God in Christ, who loves all, speaks in scripture of who is chosen and who is not. HE will not choose weak people, too weak to bare the truth, he will choose those who have ears to hear . And I think that burden is on us to discern who to help in their blindness and who not to help. God will save the world, but getting there is not going to be a carriage ride.
