Show and Tell
This touches on the structure of our conversation. In that I am speaking as a seer while most here are, quite properly, speaking from their cognitive faculties - from their ego.
So in speaking from the ego, we are, quite properly, concerned about how what is said either enhances the ego or disparages the ego.
And the ego naturally takes offense when it is disparaged.
I don't know what to do about this - on one hand I don't want to diminish your ego; and on the other hand I want to share with you what I see as a seer.
I would like to enhance your ego but this would be therapy, whereas on this thread, I am not interested in talking about spirituality rather I am interested in sharing my immediate experience of spirituality with you.
I am more interested in showing rather than telling.

This is interesting - you have made a comment about my tone - that is, I am speaking in the tone of surety.
This is because I am speaking to you in a light to medium trance.
In a trance I leave some of my cognitive faculties and just say what I see.
This has the advantage of discovering new things.
But most important is that I can return to my full cognitive faculties at will and criticize what I have just seen.
You might say I am speaking to you as a seer.
And as you are probably not in trance, you are able to criticize what I see.
So you and I are point and counterpoint.
Quite like a musical composition.
