Oh jeez. Do we really want to hear more? I'm getting to the point where I can't make it through his posts. All that sanctimonious gibberish is too much. I don't think he will improve upon further examination. Communication has effectively terminated for me. I remember when a friend of mine begged me to come to an Est workshop with her. After an hour or so I felt the same way there. It was the same meaningless crap minute after minute- finally I just couldn't listen to them anymore and I started arguing. After ganging up on me didn't work I was encouraged to leave, with two or three sturdy gentlemen to escort me. I think they hoped that by repetition they would overwhelm the rational side of our brains- it seemed to work for most folks, but that isn't the way I'm wired. If someone keeps telling me a tinfoil beanie will keep in the good energy I'll think he's nuts whether he says it once of 1000 times. All men are NOT created equal and it is clear to me that some of us are much more not equal than others. I am happy to be the extremely separate not-equal of FS. Which I KNOW he is ok with- since we are all in the right place, blah blah blah, and we can all forgive ourselves for being there blah blah blah.

Brother Steven....... >>>>Kids must drive you absolutely crazy!>>>> >>I spend huge amounts of time with kids. My life pretty much revolves around kids. They have never come close to driving me crazy.>> God Bless America!! >>I confess that adults who deliberately reduce their thought process to an endless loop of platitude do occasionally get on my nerves.>> God Bless America!! >>It seems that you think your recitations childlike, and that you think this a positive attribute. Nothing could be further from the truth. Children relate everything to the reality they experience; they have little use for abstraction. For you everything is abstract.>> Yes, "the children shall lead." Factual, direct, cut and dried, no nonsense. No wonder you love kids!! God Bless America!! >>You've heard this before, but I say it again: until you cite actual real-world circumstances, describing how you would react to those circumstances and how your beliefs influence your actions, your entire philosophy is nothing more than an overblown repetition of popular mantras.>> Facts, figures, proof, documentation, black and white zeroed out identifiable and verifiable and logical and completely rational stuff. Spitting nails. Damn these overblown mantras!! Damn the torpedos of factual, identifiable logic. GO!! >>You obviously define your basic terms in ways rather radically different from the definitions accepted by everyone else. This contradicts the basic purpose of language and makes communication difficult. So that we unenlightened ones may better understand you, perhaps you would present us with exact definitions of what you mean when you say "energy", "light", "black hole", etc., ad nauseam.>> Yea, radicals have not really see the light of day in this dark world of ours. The true "radicals" now how to laugh and have fun while risking, taking responsibility and owning outcomes. Scary to think that things like energy, light and love can actually be virally spread. Yikes!!! The Internet!!!! Invert the pyramid!!??? Erase the ego!!!???? Scary, scary stuff. Boy, if this keeps up kids will be running the world!!! Peace. .
