Ones value within a group
Since I am human I need a sense a value I am giving and learning from the group. I do have a lot of questions and that's my way of contributing to the group. I tend to babble or go off from the mark of trying to understand from the group their different way of explaining there understanding of my question to them. I think it comes down to my understanding is not your understanding and vice versa, we must understand our thoughts, first then equate synonymously the others thoughts to our understanding. I understand with Dyslexia that person is wired differently neurologically as well as mentally, which I have.
I like Theosophy because it guides me toward more understanding about God and his love for us. With all this said, my question is, do I give some value input to this community and what is that input? Thoughts please. Paul
The wisdom I have gained from this community is invaluable to me.

Absolutely you are valuable here. Even this post right here is of value, you're reminding us of what some of humanity's basic core needs are, and you're also reassuring us that this site is helpful to others. And you're right, its extremely important to make sure we understand the other's thoughts accurately before we begin to draw conclusions about the other's thoughts, because so often we don't actually understand what the other meant at all. Especially when dealing with the topics on a site such as this one... So much is lost in translation from one mind to the other.

Seth,
You are a excellent writer, I see your value here. I now know I am in good hands. It seems our experience and words place a shadow over us as we sometime ponder, if we are doing what we think is good in our world and for others plus our self's. I sometime feel my spirit and I wonder why I have not felt or sensed it before. Everything in me is a total peace and around me at the same time. These (spells) come and go.
I meditate by constant thinking. I get involved with nature the peace within it within myself and quiet soothing music reading the net writing studying others. My favorite disciplines are philosophy,psychology,theosophy with a close eye on science. But the esoteric side interest's me most. Especially the peaceful side inside. I have been chaotic and chaos at the same time. But after my experience spiritually the spiritual side always draws me to it.
I would like for others in the search for spiritual peace to have the same wonderful experience to. I have had pain and suffering as have others in this world and have experienced the opposite pure absolute spiritual peace. Paul

We all need to have that value set in our life, sometimes even from others... that's part of being in a community with like minded people. What you bring to the table is worthwhile because like Seth said it's a reminder of what the core needs are, and what people are trying to get to. It reminds me that people have that want and shows me that there are many people out there that have questions and aren't afraid to ask them. Some people are afraid to ask about things they don't know or are willing to accept the fact that they don't know and they leave it at that, and their life seems to be at a stand still with matters of spirituality. With that it is sometimes a struggle to gain that knowledge but it's like digging for diamonds, if we don't quit when the going gets tough, we are finally able to hit that final stroke that releases those diamonds of knowledge that we seek. And this is what brings bliss, peace and hope for humanity that we are not alone searching in the dark.
