I wasn't going to say anything, but as long as this discussion is continuing, and considering that my background is in psychology, I am going to jump in here. As a devoted advocate of Colloidal Silver, I can certainly understand anyone's frustration with Rosemary's rigidity and her repeated, inaccurate, negative public relations that has undoubtedly hurt the furthering of Colloidal Silver. However, that she has cancer, and why she has cancer, is really besides the point. It's so easy for those of us outside the situation to say about a person, "Well, s/he's very unevolved/negative/crabby/evil/whatever, and no wonder s/he's sick!" But is this fair? Or, more to the point, what does this say about us that we have to judge her? Admittedly, there is a fine line between making a critical judgment about someone (as in criticizing) and making an observation. For instance, if I were all huffy and said in so many words, "Serves her right!", that would constitute being critical. Being critical says as much about the person who's being critical as it does about the person being criticized. On the other hand, making an observation entails, "Gee, negative emotions certainly don't help a person get well, and Rosemary certainly has some anger in her." Do you see the difference? The first has charge on it, and the second one doesn't. The first one has charge because I'm angry that Rosemary has screwed up things for us CS people; the second one is neutral (although detachment doesn't mean "without compassion"). Now I have no idea, Marshall, what your tone or attitude are, since this is the printed word and I can't see your face or hear your voice. So I'm not picking on you or accusing you of anything. I just wanted to share my thoughts about how sometimes, our own anger can make us judge others. In the end, the person harboring the anger to a point that it simmers, can do great damage to their own self. I can have compassion for Rosemary and her circumstances, AND at the same time feel really annoyed that she's such a pain in the butt--AND be neutral about her illness. By the way, I discuss the role that emotions play in healing, in my Handbook of Rife Frequency Healing.
