in terms of "helping others", I have been helped here by stating things truthfully as I see them, and maintaining a position until I must change it in the face of overwhelming ignorance on my part.
This board serves that purpose of testing our stories and assumptions very efficiently if we are open to that; far more than everyday life, with regard to our thoughts and feelings of methods and teachers and concepts and experiences related to spiritual growth. I am really liking that word 'disillusioning' now. And thanks Rick for this place, FFL. --- In [email protected], Rick Archer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > on 5/22/05 7:24 PM, sparaig at [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > >> > >> I don't presume to be helping anyone in the sense that I'm wiser > > than they > >> and I'm here to enlighten them.
