My experience with conflict is that when I have tried to avoid it...it gets internalized and begins to fester within...then it comes out later its much worse than it needed to be if I had just addressed it in the moment. Through conflict and resolution we grow our bond of emotional intimacy with others...we learn to trust our bonds and ourselves...it is a path toward refinement and self esteem. The key is to see what you need to from the conflict either from your perspective or theirs and then integrate what you learn.All good! xo

I agree, open communication is a fundamental process needed to heal and love, which is what this thread is about, yes?

I realize of course that I was harsh in my perception(s) about Lotus. But, this perception didn't just pop up out of nowhere yesterday. I've point blank asked Lotus in the past to explain in layman's terms many of the things she says (often in rote mode, or repeating the same tired phrases). I've asked her to give stories in allegorical form or metaphors or a parable or two, because I so frequently simply don't understand her form of communication. She has ignored my pleas and carries on as if I am not worth her explanation. She has said that most will not get the "milk of Christ's teachings" as her excuse, which to me, in this day and age, is a cop-out and an elitist way of being.

If Lotus were really here to help people come to understanding and gain compassion and thus become wise, she would bend over backwards to HELP. Because she spouts her own rhetoric instead of clarifying herself, it leads me to believe she is in this for herself and not for anyone else, while SAYING she is here to help others.

Point in fact is throwing everything a poster says to her or about her back into their face as a "root cause of conflict" within the poster. She takes no responsibility for having affected a response or reaction in the person with whom she "accuses" of having conflict. In other words, it's never HER who has caused emotions in others because she claims she is above emotions and perceptions.

How is it possible to not have a personal perception? Wouldn't that be a robotic life? It is hard for me to understand and I've asked her for clarification to no avail. And I have noticed over the months that I've been here on GLP that many many people have questioned her statements. She picks and chooses certain posters to share her "wisdom" and it seems this sharing is based on whether or not they agree with her and kiss her feet, so to speak. She claims that those with whom she shares her messages from God (her Abba) are worthy, which of course is judgmental and selective, and then she claims Jesus was the same way. How convenient. What a great way to shut people up.

And that's exactly what it is. A way to shut people up and build herself up into a demi-god. Haven't we had enough of this type of control? Lotus has just repackaged fundamentalism and sells it as New World Ministry. And it is very elitist, imo.

I'll communicate as best I can. As Lotus and OrangeRay says, this is a "two-way street". Lotus, however, has blocked the other lane too many times for me to believe that she really means that. On the other hand, I see many people on this thread and elsewhere acknowledge and provide traffic flow as if it IS a two-way street. My kudos to you all for your open-mindedness and heart-felt attempts to see all sides.
