The Luminary Blogs

"I ain't never been smacked by no dueling glove before"

I would love to see more interaction.  

I also enjoy reading blogs and thinking "wow or whoa" and allowing it to marinate throughout my day.

I love reading what people have to share.  I hope the lack of comments won't deter anyone from posting.

Oh, how I love to tango with the needs & attachment conversation... not to mention the instant gratification era we're seemingly thriving in, yet so quickly with which we're being jettisoned away from true connection in the same breath (in my humble opinion).

I am delighted to reply to this post, as I, too, long for interaction... much like a young child on the playground of life longs to be the center of the universe, sometimes forgetting by just exiting defaults you as part of the center of the universe.

I could write all day long to share and savor the intimacy that I receive from people I don't even know responding to me online.  And, how for that very reason I beg for more.  Yet, my own blogging is effected by daily priorities and life things that push their way ahead of my preferred creative writing time.  

This post reminds me to never let response be a dictator for my ability to open up.  If I feel like blogging, and you too, let's blog away.  When you want to- do it.  When they want to reply- let them do it.  Simply by asking for more people to come visit our playland online, they will start coming again.  I trust it.  Thanks for giving a shout out.

Further, to tastefully jump into this "marinade" of delectable concoctions we're delivering for YOU ALL by blogging, let me say that all great things take time.  Patience my dear, Max, patience.  They will come.  They will seek us out.  They will see what they've been missing.  They will stay to play, delight, and dive in to the original, divinely stimulating-beyond-their-wildest-beliefs element we serve up so especially for them.

Just you wait!

Yes, Max, we are out here.  I have been reading the Luminary Blogs regularly for about six weeks or so, though I have posted very few comments.  I have been reluctant, not because I don't often have strong opinions about what I read - on the contrary, I often have very intense, visceral reactions, but they are not always positive.  I am an agnostic existentialist, and I often seemingly have a drastically different philosophical perspective than the authors of many of the issues raised on these pages.  To answer your question:  The exploration contained herein is not boring but, if I may be so bold, it is somewhat predictable.

The tone that seems to have been established on these pages is that of an extremely supportive environment, perhaps too supportive.  It is the kind of support that is reminiscent of group therapy, and to which a have a violent aversion.  It seems to be support for support's sake, and if it stumbles upon the stuff of real constructive challenge, it seems to do so accidentally.

Please don't misunderstand:  I am quite supportive of what you are trying to do here, I am interested in what you have to say, and I wish to remain so. However, I do not always agree with what I read or have the same perspective as most of the authors and those posting comments.  Thus far, it has been unclear to me if these pages are intended to serve merely as a cheerleading section for the movement as a whole or, in fact, a forum for real

exploration and debate which, although need not be acrimonious, is not always warm and fuzzy.

I will continue to read and feel this out.

Ally,

These are EXACTLY the type of posts I was hoping for!! Disagree, be honest, be bold, create CONTROVERSY!! This forum is supposed to be a space for exploration. Diverse perspectives are what make the world interesting. Please feel free to share your genuine thoughts at will....in fact, I DEMAND IT!! haha.

I always love what you do, what you write and your positive, grounding attitude.  But I wish everyone could post blogs... and not just the Architects.  There have been times when I would love to post something inspiring that happened that day, but with no avail:(  Anyway, thats possibly a way to get more feedback:)

Laura, within the next 60 days, we will be launching our new site where everyone can post their thoughts as a forum or blog. Your wish is my command..... soon

Wish you would try to kick my cat.  You know darn well that he would put a hurtin' on you if you tried.  Mr. Bubbles is a mean one.  

I am very frickin' new to Blogs-who made up that stupid name anyway. Maybe we can call it something else...how'bout...shizer, can't think of anything right now, but I still say we should come up with a new name.

I will say though Max, now that I finally found a group of people that are on the same page as me, I will be commenting on these blogs or posting my own!!
