anyhow, my friend thought this book on Imortality was great, and I did bring up the sayings about being careful about those who advertise such things, when money might be at root.

I know that i have talked and talked about selling yourself out for a service and what Linda said about it being okay to put your works into book form, because its your hard earned sweat, well I put this into account when hearing about the book, but I just felt someting strange about the whole event and I did discuss this with my friend.

Later it turned out that the Author of the book has a forum, but charges a small fee to join and also does a class or so, which has a small fee too.

Well my lovely friend joined, because they are such a curious angel, and of course being a Knowflake, asked all kinds of questions to the author-I want you to know that my friend sent this email "PERSONALLY" to the authors email, not to the forum, but right to the author. my friend just wanted to know what the main source felt....

unfortuanately..the main force did what I believe linda never would have, she posted the private email on her forum so that all could see it, and as i recall she said something to the point of: "I usually throw these kinds of emails away, but thought I would post it to all of you and see what you thought."

AND LIKE A MASTER FEEDING WILD ANGRY DOGS TRAINED TO BE ANGRY....

They attacked my friend..all her little mutts.

and i thought, "if she didnt agree with the innocents questions that did not attack her book, but were only questions of a person wanting to KNOW..if she didnt like it, then why didnt she just throw it away?"

so of course it affected my friend and I told them to stand up tall, like Linda and just remember, because that forum and those ones that think they are immortal or what ever....they are not really that highly advanced if they would attack my angel.

A true highly spirited person would put a wing around my friend if they thought she was wrong, and tried to explain the point...Linda would have.

I told my friend, "Linda probably would have said, come to my house..greyhound is cheaper..and we will talk", I dont think she would have shunned my friend off to the DAWGS.

it was such a shame..this forum..in fact when my friend questioned them again, well it seems that they have taken my friends name off the forum...if my angel of a friend payed a fee to be in the forum, should they be able to stay and speak there mind until there subscription is done...and they never ever said a swear word or anything.

I told my friend that i got a bad feeling about the site..the whole immortal thing and such, especially when i had already read much of Linda's things. I pointed out to the friend that Linda's forum was the best place to be, that we love them, and they would eventually find what they were looking for HERE, though a new member, a book recommened of hallucinaciting dizziness from reading all these topics....WELL....ITS POSSIBLE! LOL.

anyhow, i was looking through my Journal, and i found something I saw on the internet, while looking for a book on a certain subject, and I thought of my friend and others..so i am going to write it here for all to remember.

I told my friend that the author of that book reminded me of the saleperson and not a new age master (as the author of the page calls it)

of course i am not going to even waste your time with that site my friend was on. to read the forum, you have to join and that means a fee..and all that bumble jumble...I am just happy my friend figured it out...the leaves do rustle louder when you see the truth...BEWARE BEWARE BEWARE those after profit only.

HOW TO TELL A NEW AGE MASTER FROM A SALESPERSON.

so how can a ordinary consumer tell a master from a slick new-age sales person.

here are a few ideas:

FIRST:
email them. the lofty types wont stoop low enough to read your email, much less respond. the master shows at least some degree of caring.

SECOND:
Step on his or her Ego-so something ourageous like questioning his or her terminology-and see the reaction!

the ego-bond salesperson yelps with pain.

The master has no ego to bruise.

THIRD:
Listen to his or her message. the master will tell you to wake up and listen, while the saleperson will be touting his or her product line.

FOURTH:
Check the directions of there books! the salesperson kicks out dozen of books that rehash old concepts adn uses other persons experiences.

The masters second book carries the first book to the next level and the third book carries the second book forward.>>>>>>>>

Now, when i first saw this I of Our Linda the Mystical Master. and afterwards the author of the letter said this, which still was so LINDA..lol:

Now don’t get me wrong. I’m certainly not trying to tout myself as a true master. Far from it. I lack the discipline it takes to be a true master. Perhaps I’m being too hard on other authors, some of whom have forsaken six-figure careers to promote their books. They’ve got to eat, too, so those dollars are important, right? At least they’re out there meeting the people, spreading the word, generating the interest. Perhaps there’s no such thing as a true master at all, but we’re all just a bunch of Earth-bound students, struggling blindly to find a shred of truth. Perhaps it’s true that “those who speak, do not know” and “those who know, do not speak.” But sometimes I get fed up with New Age marketing, and then I have to ask myself: shouldn’t new age authors trust that the Universe will provide? Shouldn’t they attribute their message to God and put their egos aside? Shouldn’t they trust the marketing to whatever higher power they choose to recognize? And to the consumers, I’d offer the following advice: Instead of trying new product lines, look inside yourself for the answers; God loves to play hide-and-seek and He/She currently resides within each of us, disguised as ordinary people. At least, that’s what I believe.

NUFF SAID KNOWFLAKES!!!!

I am going to put the article in a part two so you can read it.

Be wary of the Isness business I say...

Thanks again for the reminder that if we are to ascend on a more enlightened path, we must practice patience, love and everything else that empowers us.
