[quote=“The Eye, post:18, topic:2863”]I feel a lot of insecurity in that thread.
An idea of meeting each other in dreams is proposed and immediately all particpants are warning all the others “watch out, dont try this or that or it will end bad for you bla bla”.
RELAX people.[/quote]
I’m not seeing the dick-waving you’re talking about. Very early in the thread, The Cusp kept talking about dream combat. I’m not very interested in that, and that sort of thing doesn’t last very long with me. It wasn’t a threat or anything of that sort, just a statement. It would be a waste of everyone’s time that could be spent in better ways.
When The Cusp went on to explain that there are different forms of “combat”, such as manipulation of the dream realm, then it took a different form.
Before you assume you know what others’ psychology is about (such as mine and defectron’s), you also have to consider the context of this forum. It’s a bunch of self-professed black magicians, along with a number of those who are pushing in that route, and then a variety of others who wouldn’t identify in that way. That being said, I don’t think it is unreasonable to suggest that more than a few would find it amusing to try to get horror show on someone in dreaming. Letting them know that that is ill-advised and unwanted isn’t as much insecurity as it is practical for all parties involved.
I agree with your statements that it is a great opportunity for connection. Let’s leave it at that.
You do know that you’re talking about me and defectron specifically, not “people” in the generic sense, right?
I don’t see either one of us blowing up our egos. Suggesting against an unwanted and undesirable course of action is not self-aggrandizement. If you were a boxer and you saw people looking like they were wanting to get punchy with you, would you not attempt to redirect them? This isn’t the same at all as being all “I PUNCHED DOWN ALL THE DEMONS OF HELL, I CAN PUNCH A HOLE IN A MOUNTAIN, BLA BLA BLA.”
Calm confidence and polite redirection is not an ego trip. Let’s not get too carried away here.
