Cheryl,
I think you are “inhistime” on this board, is this true?

FWIIW, I have participated on some Internet forums, but it all can seem very chaotic to me as so many people are coming from so many different places (worldviews). It is also very easy to be misunderstood and misunderstand, think you are getting somewhere and finding out you are not, getting frustrated, etc.

It seems very difficult for this method to actually result in any major paradigm shift. From what I have seen, it is each person explaining why they believe as they do; this is not necessarily bad, but is also not very fruitful if one’s goal IS a paradigm shift.

My current view is that Internet forums are fine if one is trying to give a small insight or “tweak” as long as it does not cross the line of whatever that person considers a fundamental belief.

There are just some teachings that take some time to explain.
