In the world we are now living in,
Y-F-G groups** are for grade-schoolers and lower, while
Real Time Face-to-Face Encounters
are for post-grads and higher.
Nothing is easier - and nowadays, more common - than copying some "interesting-to-you" section(s) out of an e-book (or YouTube video(s), or Flickr photo(s)), and pasting them into a Post or Message to your Y-F-G group and then commenting upon the item(s). Everyone will think you are so-o-o-o special for finding it, and putting into the stream (or, the opposite - so-o-o-o UN-special, i.e., typical, routine, ordinary), but in any case, now people have something to write about for another hour, or day or a little longer... to keep that ALL-IMPORTANT stream flowing.
THIS IS NOT CONVERSATION.
This is a major distraction from one of the main values of having a three pound lump of gray matter containing a hundred billion neurons and a trillion neural connections capable of comprehending the Cosmos and the Thought of Creation!
"Really? Is all that chitter-chatter
the best you got, Mr. Sam (U 'r I)?"
Samurai Warriors do not need to KILL their opponent on the bridge, nor can they disregard or dismiss their opponent - there they are, ready to do battle against you. The Successful Warrior in This Thing we are doing here, merely needs to get to the other side - over, under, or through - and that requires much more sustained intelligence than is usually possible in a delayed-reaction encounter over email! The timing is all wrong.
Timing is everything, and the main reason people are sound asleep and unable to remain awake even when circumstances arouse them, is their faulty Time Sense. Awakening, is expanding the Time Sense, to include the Fact - and continuing Realization - that all of human history is in me, wired into my DNA, my genetic structure, and the future of human potential is possible, even for me.
Real I is a "point" inside the expanding and contracting time bubble which begins at birth, of about a second or so at most, but over the course of one's life time, expands into years, decades, centuries, and more. Some suggest that "point" is localized in the pineal gland.

Here's something I found today, which was never advertised before. Some might find it strange, compelling, crazy, interesting (whatever words work for you.) Click here for the channel
