Excuse me? You think I'm proselytizing? My words echo Truth, which I have voluntarily shared to help all who read it. It has nothing to do with religion nor did I even bring one up.

You are merely be defensive against the greater Truth, and your ego is smug in its defense. I walk the holy path that only healers walk -- what path do you take? Smug dismissals that offer nothing of value? What path is that a part of?

Proselytizing need not be linked to religion, you are promoting a thought system (one that I agree with, for what its worth).

Forgive me if I came off as dismissive, that was not the intention. I only meant to suggest that there may be a better way to accomplish your goal, one which is more subtle and gentle.

Oh my mistake -- were you referring to a manual for teachers? You know what I speak of?

Tolerance and gentleness are not absent in my message. However, it's bound to be misunderstood if it comes across as if I am tacitly attacking religions and promoting my own unique one (the connotation I would say proselytizing has behind it). I'm not because there's no point in this kind of behavior. Truth will always be true, and the journey toward it is going to be unique for each individual but the destination will always remain the same.

If you do know what I speak of, you will also have learned that ideas only increase by sharing and that learning necessarily involves teaching. You are potentially misrepresenting tolerance as acceptance; the two are not one in the same. There is only one truth, but that does not mean you accept falsehoods out of tolerance. It means you tolerate them in your perfect forgiveness, which does not judge. I have no idea how my message could be construed as not gentle, but tip-toeing around what it is you truly believe out of fear of offending others is not the definition of gentleness. God has ordained my mission and that was just something that came to me to write -- it probably took me 5m because I didn't have to do much thinking. I only wish the best for everyone and the +8 upvotes meant it clearly resonated with a few people. This is enough for now and certainly does not backfire on my purpose here.
