When did HE turn into..

How come the people here that complain the most about topics never post anything about what they want to talk about. I actually agree with @ijesuschrist for once, that if you dont like a topic keep scrolling, and relationships are a part of life so they should be talked about. There is too much dam complaining that goes on here. The site is full of knowledge and if you want to find something you enjoy its here, so go and look for it. @lytning91, just had to say great reply man.

@manimal, Thats what I am saying. If it was so great before and people are so outraged about it why cant they post some interesting things. Maybe it will spark more interest and ideas of others.

@vernalsoul,

I see your point. But I could ask you just the same question – when did HE become a page for people to rant about things that they could ignore without any effort? It would make your Life so much easier.

To a lot of people here relationships may not seem ‘interesting’ and those who seek advice may appear as rather annoying. But everyone of us has different interests, and I do find it interesting to exchange my experiences – of any kind – with anyone who’s willing to listen. Love is something we think we know all about, but there’s still a lot of things we haven’t quite understood about it.

So to finish this, posts like those don’t really bother me that much (even though sometimes I do think one should not look for advice on the internet). It’s still a part of Life – now don’t tell me you’re not interested in that.

@vernalsoul, Do not get scared away and/or change your believes because your topic creates controversy and/or people do not agree with you.
The fact that so many people discuss in this topic means that it is a subject worth discussing I reckon. It seems like more people are trying to denigrate you because of the topic that you opened rather than discussing the content what it is about, quite sad in my opinion.

You have a valid point as I already said, let the cobbler stick to his last.

@nosorozh, you are putting words in my mouth that I did not say, plus you are taking my words out of context.

“so basically, you value the posts which interest you as those of “higher interests” and ” deeper meanings”, while those you do not wish to read are “low graded absurd stupidities” .”

Basically that is not at all true, I never implied this. I agree with you that the purpose of HE is to be open minded, being able to discuss all sorts of things, but those kind of topics should be in line with HE’s mission.
Sure I can discuss the color and consistency of my poop on HE, or the type of clothes I wear, or the type of shampoo I use, but there are plenty other forums where these kind of things can be discussed. I am not saying that this is BAD or WORSE than the other topics that are discussed on HE. I am just saying that this is not the place for these kind of subjects.
It is hard to draw the line what is in line with HE’s mission statement and what is not, I agree with that.

The topic of this thread is about how HE is becoming irrelevant to what it use to be. Ironically, this thread is essentially about a relationship advice. Its about the relationship of you and High Existence, so this thread is also the cause of your problem.

I do agree that this site has lost its ‘magic’ compared to when it was a newborn, but everybody has the right to start any thread they want. Its the internet and if people start restricting on what you can post, then the internet becomes dead.

Instead of bitching about this, lets find a solution? START BUMPING ALL THE GOOD OLD SHIT BACK!

@vernalsoul,

meh, its one of the functions of the site, seeking help, the reason why there are so many is because there are now so many people joining, just bc we had advice thread the day before, doesn’t mean someone new hasn’t joined, did not see it or found it relevant and posted their own, specific to their circumstances,

i think you are just realizing what most ppl do when on this site for awhile, everything is recycled endlessly,

use this annoyance to spark new convos and ideas

@vernalsoul, I completely understand but I also feel that the relationship threads have value. Relationships can be a very difficult subject for some people, and I for one feel the advice you get from people who don’t know you and don’t have any reason to be biased works best. Asking the same thing to family or your friends will result in biased answers usually. Not only that, but there are aspects of relationships that can be intellectual. Part of what this site’s about is being a community, giving help where it’s needed to make better lives.

I feel that these threads are in keeping with the site’s ideas about personal development and increased understanding, from personal experience…..I’d say I’ve gotten some of the best relationship advice in my life from here, it really helped me out a lot.

@beyond, Pour your heart out mate, we are here for you!

@beyond, In the end you need to resolve the problems by yourself, but sometimes it may help to get a second opinion, another viewpoint from a stranger, to see things clearer, more objectively, not being overtaken by your own emotions.

When did HE become a site where people desire a pre selected list of new age topics to be discussed? it’s good to mix in some topics that are rooted in reality. We can’t always be talking about karma and past lives and mushrooms

It’s no coincidence that spiritualists really don’t have any incite into the practicalities of life other than reassuring the person they are an eternal soul.

I think everyone always knows the right thing to do in every situation, they just suck at actualizing that sense. Conditioning, fear and conceptual interuptions, own these and Bob’s your uncle. People usually hear the same rhetoric over and over again then just go do whatever they normally do, same-old same-old.
