It all depends doesn't it? On each and every one of us-- what kind of environment we co-create with our mere presence. After all is said and done, all we really have to offer this world in which our individuality is born into is our presence and our absence, the poems we leave in one another's hearts. The thoughts about ourselves we leave in one another's minds.

"So bring your laughter
And bring your tears
Your busy lives and your careers
And bring the pain
you carried for years
All is welcome here
Freedom is not so far away
And there's only one price
We have to pay
Live our dreams till they fade away
And let them go."

So by now, *We* should have a better idea of what constitutes personalization, attacks, and know enough to have rudimentary glimpses into the nature of who we are and depersonalized ourselves from the inherent nature that seeks to define things in categories of *either* *or*. If *this is true*, than *that could not possibly be true*.

Yes? No? Maybe?

If you are terrified of your own death,
and want to escape from it,
you may want to write a poem,
for the poem might carry your name
into eternity, the poem
may become immortal, beyond flesh
and fashion, it may be read
in a thousand years by someone
as frightened of death as you are,
in a dark field, at night,
when he has failed once again at love
and there is no illusion with which to escape
the inward pull of his own flesh
against the narrowing margins of the spirit.

Let's define what a personal attack is first.

1. Is it something that hits *home* with a sledgehammer truth...and we'd rather not *hear* it?
2. Is a personal attack a veiled or overt reference to our physical, mental, emotional being in a way that always pushes our buttons? Something that is too personal, like characteristics of our weight, age, intelligence, abilities, disabilities?
3. Is there really a *person* to be attacked, or are we fully the thoughts we have about ourselves and each other?

Love is the New Religion / The Spiritual Conspiracy

.........

On the surface of the world right now there is war and violence and things
seem dark
But calmly and quietly, at the same time, something else is happening
underground
An inner revolution is taking place and certain individuals are being called
to a higher light
It is a silent revolution
From the inside out
From the ground up
