And some get so attached to it that they're unwilling to give it up. The "trick of the mind" that believes it is "overshadowed" becomes for them the ground state of reality, and something to be "overcome," something "real." IMO, this is called missing the point. It's the feeling of being overshadowed that isn't real. To subscribe, send a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Or go to: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/ and click 'Join This Group!' Yahoo!
