Yes of course I was stepping in, in exactly the same way I stepped in a while ago and told Anna that if she didn't stop criticising Irina I would delete her membership.Hi Tony,
And if you do not stop making this forum into some sort of contest I will do the same. The forum is about peoples dreams and not choosing sides.
Tony
In the interest of providing some clarity to any who may follow after, reading this thread, a key player in the exchange here has gone back and wiped clear tracks of their involvement (deleted posts)...and, further, altered what contribution they left remaining. This person, Anna, is apparently an assistant of some sort to Tony. How or why he would choose her or allow her to remain providing advice to others when her integrity and behavior is questionable, begs an answer. As I doubt a reasonable answer is forthcoming, this is a forum where, presently, I doubt whether or not I will remain.Yes of course I was stepping in, in exactly the same way I stepped in a while ago and told Anna that if she didn't stop criticising Irina I would delete her membership.Hi Tony,

I truly was not instigating a competition. It seems more likely that due to my perceptive skills I honed in on a problem that already exists here. I simply cannot allow mistreatment of myself, here or elsewhere. I do understand more clearly now, but being of humility and compassion should never mean that we allow ourselves to be walked on.
Clarity
The world you see merely reflects your own internal frame of reference—the dominant ideas, wishes and emotions in your mind.Of course you would now say that, Dear Anna.
"Projection makes perception".

What transpired here was not in my imagination and evidence of your behavior even prior to my arrival and posting here is contained in the words of Tony himself. Surely, I did not make up Tony's words for him...
I “think” this is because he has been picking at his scalp. It is like there are large gaping sores, which I “think” need stitches. END.
Tony and I let go of that past and now we are very dear friends and co-workers.
Anna :-)

And I do wonder why you would want to hold on to our past.

Who now is trying to get a reaction out of who? Oh, wait, you deleted that post, along with hundreds of others on this forum.

Because "you" ask, it is because earlier this day "you" made a post in the Greetings and Introduction Section, introducing yourself in a role with Tony, which you promptly deleted after I mentioned here in this thread that you were some sort of assistant to Tony. You did identify yourself as being in such an association with him.
I am not sure what other past "you" are referring to...
But I do see that you show a little more of yourself each time...
Capturing it for posterity before it also gets deleted.:) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :)
Life’s simple secrets are that your being knows how to deal with the things you carry in you that have harmed you, creating despair, emotional darkness and even physical pain. The process of life in you is also part of the life on this planet. It can read the signs of change and will ready you if you let it.
We are a culture trained to need experts and to pay them; such experts are greatly needed, but our greatest expert is our amazing and wonderful process of life. To let it heal us it needs to be released from its years of restraint, of suppression, and being pushed into unconsciousness.
The simple secret is that inasmuch as we can allow our being to do its own thing occasionally – to move, cry, shake, discharge, laugh and cry or sing spontaneously – to that degree life in us keeps us balanced and healthy. Most ancient cultures had situations in which this was allowed.
Caged Bird.
By Maya Angelou
A free bird leaps
on the back of the wind
and floats downstream
till the current ends
and dips his wing
in the orange sun rays
and dares to claim the sky.
But a bird that stalks
down his narrow cage
can seldom see through
his bars of rage
his wings are clipped and
his feet are tied
so he opens his throat to sing.
The caged bird sings
with a fearful trill
of things unknown
but longed for still
and his tune is heard
on the distant hill
for the caged bird
sings of freedom.
The free bird thinks of another breeze
and the trade winds soft through the sighing trees
and the fat worms waiting on a dawn bright lawn
and he names the sky his own
But a caged bird stands on the grave of dreams
his shadow shouts on a nightmare scream
his wings are clipped and his feet are tied
so he opens his throat to sing.
The caged bird sings
with a fearful trill
of things unknown
but longed for still
and his tune is heard
on the distant hill
for the caged bird
sings of freedom
