Maurice ........ Reverse logic has been your recourse. I have nothing to sell you; nor have I tried. There was no promise to improve the world. There was no promise of wealth. There was no hidden agenda and there were no personal put-downs ("I didn't think you had the wit"). Those are mechanisms to build up the self and to protect a fragile ego. If it will please you, of course I don't have the wit. But if you can find those conjectures anywhere on the web or in any printed form you must bring it to our attention, to prove conclusively that I cannot have the wit. I said my concern was with the operating principle underlying the marketing. I said that operating principle will continue to deceive. There is nothing I have to sell. I do not call you names if you do not understand this point, or look for words to demonize you. I did not promise you great wealth when you come to recognize this fact. Nor did I promise a better world. Once you get there, however, we will let you tell us what you have come to recognize for yourself. It is not easy to get there from here. That is why there is no shortage of people marketing ideas for a "better world," where better means personal, material profit for the one doing the marketing. ~ J
