Exploring Self
  The shift is not a thing. It is the action of increasing your self-awareness.

Thank you for that, still learning and still reading.

I tend to let people do all the talking while I just listen, I used to think it was because I felt I never have anything interesting to say, a well meaning 'friend' says it is because I am a good listener, however in the past year I have discovered it was more to do with my inability to discuss MY relative aspects of anything, due to other people refusing to climb out of the box that is standardised along with everything else, thus felt uncomfortable discussing anything out of the norm. I guess from that comment I sure do disagree with most people, after all at times I feel as if I am the only 'one' that thinks as I do! Do I make any sense?

I haven't been on the other forums as I have still yet to master the Elias linguistic and interpretion, but as so far I am confident that should I have difficulties in understanding or trying to grasp the concept, I'm in the right place to ask, so

Steve, sorry that I disagree with you (but this hasn't to do with me being intermediate but with my experience …). Whether its easy for me to communicate with somebody or not hasn't to do with his/her orientation. There have been intermediates I met at BF where I hardly felt familiar with and there are many commens I feel very familiar with. I don't think that you can use the orientation as the reason how familiar you feel with some material or somebody or how challenging something is to you .

I warned you, Batty,
