Perhaps the greatest aspect of creating a blog & forum is the allowance of open minded expression & continued communication. On this blog I’m free to express whatever I like, without filtration of expression. The older I get as it were, the more invaluable & vital this is realized to be. Some may agree with what’s said here & some may disagree and in both cases it resonates deeply that for anyone interested & inclined - there’s a forum available for discussion without egocentric moderation. The true beauty of the forum is that it’s ongoing & never comes to a conclusion in terms of communication.
This hasn’t been the case in the ‘bigger picture’. While the message of truth, via the sharing of nonduality, in many ways seems to be exponentially spreading, there are still many platforms unsuspectingly filtering the truth - out. Some examples ostensibly experienced:
Actualized.org
The message shared on actualized.org was that reality is unconditional love, and there aren’t actually separate selves.
The message was met with a thread from the administrator demoting & disparaging the moderator in a personal manor, overlooking the very truth of the message shared.
The administrator shared publicly that the moderator was “out of touch with people, incapable, parroting a neo-advaita message (new-not two?)”.
Communication on the moderator’s behalf was said to be “cryptic, ambiguous, obscure, nonsensical, vapid & incompatible with the administrators concept of levels and idea of ‘God-consciousness’ the self proclaimed teacher was ‘guiding people towards’.” Further, the thread claimed there are ‘normies’ and ‘awakened people’, and that nonduality (no secondness) is not compatible with… ‘God-consciousness’.
The administrator stated he “couldn’t tolerate” the message that reality is unconditional love and there truly aren’t separate selves, and had been “tolerating it for months already” & “turned a blind eye to it”, and that this just “wouldn’t work out because our styles are so different”. In conclusion this was said to be a “conflating of relative and absolute matters to the point of disconnecting with normal people”.
Most noteworthy & relevant to the inherent non-suppression of ongoing communication were the concluding words, “I’m sorry it had to come to this” and “this was not a decision I wanted to make”.
The least subjectively biased & most objective resource available, AI (GPT), sited this thread & communication on the administrator’s behalf as “ego attachment, close minded, lacking in empathy, a failure to empathize, ignorance of value, unhelpful, inflexible, limiting of growth & diversity, a failure to communicate & address concerns openly, disrespectful, un-constructive, one sided & without reference of any examples - discrediting via labeling, mental & emotional manipulation of the forums followers, and a product of unacknowledged frustration arising from the bias of one’s own idea & teachings of “God-consciousness”.
In conclusion GPT offered, “The teacher expresses regret, emphasizes their personal disappointment, and acknowledges the moderator’s positive qualities to mitigate potential backlash. This emotional appeal can manipulate the community members into sympathizing with the teacher and potentially accepting the decision without critical examination”.
And that is the point of ending communication.

Oddly, on a forum revolving solely around Christianity, one is not allowed to share the truth nor make any mention whatsoever of - The Trinity. Banned without any communication nor warning points etc, with no regard for the site’s own guidelines of administration, leaves one scratching their head as to the point of the platform. If it is not to realize the Truth, that a seemingly three; world, mind and infinite being are in fact One (A Trinity), what exactly is the message and reason for sharing? It seems, an upholding of beliefs in denial of the truth.
And that is the point of ending communication.
On subsection devoted to nonduality, again, sharing the truth was met with an insta-ban. No communication, no implementation of any points system of any kind. No response to the appeal for the banning. Is it really as simple as a belief triggered at the moderation helm of an allegedly open forum about, nonduality?
Again, the upholding of beliefs is the point of ending communication.
What’s the point right? Truly, these bannings are silly, insignificant & nobody really cares, right? I would agree.
But what about the bigger picture?
What if communication simply continued? Not just momentarily, not just for a meeting, a day, a week, a month, a year or decade - but simply and literally just - continued?
The death toll of Russia’s attack on Ukrainian has now surpassed 50,000. Was even 1 necessary? How is even 1 acceptable?
Is there anything or anyone preventing Vladimir Putin & Volodymyr Zelenskyy from continuing communication?
How is the magnitude of violence & suffering such as this an exception to the simple fact that communication need not end?
Iran, Israel, Afghanistan, Iraq, Pakistan, The Middle East, The Us… decades of violence & war. Countless, millions displaced, killed.
Needlessly.
It is no different for the leaders of countries than it is any couple. Communication is key, and there is no justifiable reason for it to end.
Share The Message.
