I did find all the exchanges very engaging. But my reaction is my recap or personal take on Michael's initial reply to the post.

I was particularly thinking about his last 3 paragraphs:

"One should not form the idea that every transmission can be avoided because that is just not a fact. However, one should develop insight to know of the transmission as I stated in the paragraph above this."

....

"I know that many students of inSelf Yoga™ get this idea that the practice will correct everything and give every possible resistance. However, that is not true because a limited being cannot correct every circumstance and cannot resist every possible influence. Unless one moved into a dimension where there are no negative influences, one will encounter negativities which one cannot buffer. Therefore, insight into these overpowering factors is the aim not full conquest over them."

And, so yes the creation flows in every direction. And ultimately, the change has to come from within, even as we meet the external. Therefore the attitude in approaching the situations is to be taken into consideration. It is not really what creation throws at us, that is all it ever does! It is about our attitude in facing those innumerable circumstances.
