The Need To Get At Par With Every One
Saidi
I have received some messages from zaadzsters that try to connect my Krishnamurti quote and the 'God-fearing' word that both appear on my profile page and writing back to me to "think about it" and change the God-fearing stuff (for another word) if I follow the quote.
Right, I admit we understand english differently and that's why I'm reluctant to edit my profile (for that particular reason) at the moment. I would love to update it so that we all get at par but still we need to learn from one another (before I do so). For that matter, therefore, I explain what the two 'fears' tend to (in simplicity) according to my understanding:
1. Krishnamurti's fear: To be afraid or frightened of or a feeling of agitation and anxiety caused by the presence or imminence of danger. We should not fear to take chances because it's those who have put fear aside that have had life success stories.
2. The Fear of God (or any Supreme Power depending on an individual): Extreme reverence or awe toward a supreme power in which case, REVERENCE is an act showing respect, especially a bow or curtsy (or to regard with great awe and devotion)
Thanks for understanding.
Peace and Light.

Namaste,
Dear Saidi,
I only know this tiny bit of this story but …
I think your approuch is very good. Even when we all speak the same lanuage we get confused over meanings. Many people do not understand the idea of “fearing” can be used as “reverence, or respect” because we use the word fear so differently these days. I've known this and have tried to educate about it as well.
Thank You. I read all your blogs and appriciate all that you bring to us.
Love & Peace

Thanks BeLynn.
Sincerely the way people purceive fear according to the messages I receive has shown me that we really live in total fear. We only tend to live in the fear of Krishnamurti's context.
Thanks for trying to enlighten people more about it.
Peace to you.
Hello Saidi,
Please, don't change your information to please others, only to please yourself. If the way you have expressed yourself makes others uncomfortable, that's their problem, not yours, and presents them with another opportunity for personal growth.
We all need to remember that we cannot change others, we can only change ourselves.
Your friend,
Steve
