Hi kirolak,

I  got a brief version of that -- "no help needed now."  I'm glad to hear you got more of an explanation of why.  It speaks so well of the Japanese people.
Other earlier retrievals from Japan have been posted on another thread here. 

I find that this Retrieval Forum is still very inspiring. I do agree though that the character of the site overall is no longer the same

That's interesting.  Not sure if it's related, but i've done a few meditations with the intent of being of assistance and it seems most of my efforts/energies were directed to the inphysical people, but then again i do most retrievals during sleep state.

  I agree that it seems the Japanese are a bit less individualistic and more collective oriented than a lot of westerners but it's also been my experience and perception that a large percentage are quite focused on things and external stimulation--Tokyo is a good, though somewhat extreme example of that.

  RE: the forum, personally i think we need more active female posters to balance the over amount of male posters.   Or, conversely we could use more posters who are more internally balanced between the Yin and Yang whatever their respective physical gender.

  Men (or over Yang) as a whole tend to be a bit more in your face and bluntly honest in communication style.  Women as a whole tend to be a little more gentle and diplomatic.

  There are pros and cons to the different ways of expressing, and sometimes in one situation the more Yang approach is more helpful and sometimes in other situation the more Yin approach is more helpful.  But the site seems to lack of balance of the Yin, maybe partly because often it's the Yin which is less tolerant of the Yang ways and leaves or retreats.  Yin is more sensitive, and so sometimes doesn't realize that the Yang doesn't perceive the interactions in as extreme manner as the Yin does when disagreement ensues. 

  If all the helpers, especially the more gentle ones abandoned this site, where would it leave us?  Part of the reason of why we come to the Earth to begin with, is because friction and discord can be experienced here, and some of us come partially to help in the process of harmonization and also to deal with our own stuff via the friction.  It's what helps us to spiritually grow the most. 

  Btw, i think you've met my wife (Becky, she had a vision of you doing Qi-Gong) and i, at the Gateway Voyage program?  You look a lot like one of the fellow members we met there.  Mid-latter July 2007.  If so, i enjoyed meeting you there.   

 

Hi Kirolak, if I may bend a little verse for you, in jest, because any turmoil and conflict only echoes the truth of who we are, as humans, no avoiding it. We participate in it, despite any misgivings, because we are alive...  I was thinking to myself, "peas porridge hot, peas porridge cold, peas porridge in the pot nine days old...." Just an old jingle about food or lack thereof, and the boredom that might settle in, for someone with such a simple existence. Long ago, and far away, I thought to myself that perhaps I should 'choose' a forum, choose 'better' people, etc. etc. Then, I decided to be bold, to wade through the mud of my own perceptions, to let go of being one or the other, to just be, to 'participate' and damn the rest. In my reality, there seems to be no other choice. One can ebb and flow like a tide. One can hide in a crowd. One can 'stand for' something, anything. It is a huge gift, and one no one, I think, would give up easily, no matter how noble. But I rant. Thank you so much for the listen, and the opportunity to say such things, always.         b

All the positive reactions have inspired me (for one!) to start interacting again - thanks, i needed that!

  My apologies Kirolak, you really look similar to one of the people i met at that Gateway program.  But then again that was almost 4 years ago now, and my memory of that is a bit fuzzy.

  Nice to meet you in any case. 

Hi Volu,

Yes I agree!  I enjoy being positive and trying to make things better for anyone involved, and I agree to just ignoring other people's issues/needs that don't involve me if I can't help.  This is a great site for many different types of people from different perspectives and backgrounds, as is plain to see.  I'm not knocking the conflict here on this site, I just don't see the point in butting heads.  I take the road of "agreeing to disagree" most of the time.  That attitude has helped me to grow and come out of my shell and not be afraid of what people think, do, or believe about my beliefs and experiences.  That's why I don't need to enforce my beliefs and engage in conflict.  I simply just don't care about that.   

By the way, Bruce wouldn't just "say so" as you suggest.  He's really a guy who "lives and let lives" and allow people to be and do under their own will and power. 

Anyway, I'm happy there are those who stick around on this site and get something great from it.  There are a lot of great contributors here.  A very strong group of supporters and achievers.  I've seen many grow and develop in their own way.  I just feel so positive about it so I guess that's why I stick around too!  Always something interesting to read here!

Hello, Shiro, nice to meet you & thank you for your kind words.  I am glad & amazed that you have heard the same thing about "No help needed" from japanese hemisynch users themselves, I was wondering if I had misunderstood the message I received.  I think it is a wonderful indication of the high spiritual development of a nation, that so many who discarnate so suddenly, are able to find their way.
All the best to you,  & btw your English is excellent!

Sometimes I wonder if there are more need elsewhere. Each day 25 000 persons starve to death, for example -> http://wiki.answers.com/Q/How_many_deaths_of_starvation_are_there_worldwide_annu...
