DWA: "How have IHXENs, specifically applied, changed the traffic or debating quality picture? That is, by anyone's judgement other than your own?

The words DWA cites, appears as a description of the Truth Tree and its founder, Bob Scott. This description appears before the testimonial. In the testimonial there is no mention of IHXENs. None. Furthermore the heading to the Testimonials is "Some Testimonials on the quality of coaching and writing provided by Angus Cunningham". The testimonials are not to the issue of the value of IHXENs, but to the value of my coaching and writing. Since my coaching is significantly based on my personal practise of IHXENs, IHXENs have had some effect on the Truth Tree's volume and traffic.

What effect? I know for sure that the traffic of visitors to the Truth Tree has increased since I began posting. DWA may wish to check the numbers out because we know from previous posts he has the know-how to do so. That is, IFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF he has interest to do. Based on past history, any of us could be excused for suspecting that his question on traffic was rhetorical.

As to the quality of debate, my sense is that it sometimes rises these days to a much higher level than when I first began posting. But whether this is truth is not something that can be established except by discussion with others, I don't know. If DWA wishes to have that discussion, and IF the reciprocity of his posting behaviour has earned him reciprocity from others, a very big IF in my opinion, nothing stands in his way of orienting his posts to making such an assessment.

DWA quotes Silverfox commenting on Angus' description of an event that occurred many years before Angus began posting on the Truth Tree: "Correct me if I am wrong....You were a person carrying, or manifesting quite a number of inferiority complexes, varying in degree to each other. Certain rejections, or perceptions of rejection, may have led you to perceive your being as being unwanted & consequently, lonely."

I corrected Silverfox's observation as follows: "The term inferiority complex is a diagnosis. As you, SF, and I have discussed before, following your much appreciated comments on my essay "Time for a Gnosis?", diagnoses are oxymorons from a healing point of view. This is especially the case with the term "inferiority complex" -- as is proved by the fact that today many people in the healing professions recognize that people with a superiority complex also have an unrecognized inferiority complex. Now I think I can understand that, but most people would shake their heads in disbelief at how wishy-washily confused anyone could be who said that of a client/patient!

There's no question that I uncovered/rediscovered a self in me in which today I feel a lot of confidence. I experienced this following what was for me a slow and lonely process of recalling and reinterpreting memories (going all the way back to my early childhood) following an overnight answer to a prayer. Yet when someone asked me recently who I was praying to, I could only reply that I didn't have a name for the addressee of my prayer, and then after some reflection, I added "someone or something much bigger than me". The answer to my prayer, after a day or so of trying to articulate the non-verbal insight that had arrived overnight, was that I could safely express my unique dynamic truth at any time with an IHXEN, and later I came to recognize that that was just as true for anyone else who could name the emotion he or she was experiencing as his or her temporary possession as it was for me.

There was no question I was being actively rejected by some people. For example, I had been fired by an employer. There's not much doubt about that being a real rejection. But I agree there were other instances where I interpreted that I was being rejected. I remember a particular instance when I had two friends over for lunch and they started laughing over my plight. I had anger over that. I felt they were mighty short of empathy and I simply could not laugh with them. I do recognize, however, that people who go through wars often develop a remarkable ability to laugh at the most miserable circumstances. I think that is possible when all are "in the same boat" and it is "the waves" that are impersonally precipitating challenges for everyone. In this case, my friends were definitely not in the same boat as I was: they were, ostensibly, in cruise ships by comparison with my very small and precariously floating lifeboat! But the proof of the pudding is in the eating: my relationships with those two friends has since become almost non-existent -- but not because any of the three of us has actively rejected the others. Both of them, by the way, eventually learned IHXENs and thanked me for sharing my discovery with them. One gave me a testimonial that I have published at this link and the other gave me a testimonial I have lost.
