Hey, Ravi Yogi, I'm new to FFL. I probably should read some of your
other posts before responding to this one. However, I just want to
say it: You really know how to hurt a guy. I am sure you're right
that I am an egoist, but could you explain what it is about this
response to CurtisDeltaBlues that reveals this so decisively?
After all, if I thought someone would see through me so easily and
expose my inward cunning (and narcissism) to the world like this,
well, I would never have posted anything. I need, I suppose, a
"beloved" like you have—What pray tell COULD be the beloved I could
"stay home with" so as to relinquish this illicit infatuation with
myself?
Seriously, Ravi Yogi, I merely wish to know what there was about
that response to CDB that disqualified me in your eyes from
contributing something honest and serious to this conversation?
You see, from this response here (the one I am making right now),
that I am very determined to not have any of the readers of this
blog find themselves agreeing with you. That could prove
devastating to me—and my shaky self-esteem. After all, the beloved,
is that the Self?
Excuse the very limited perspective I have, having not read your
other posts. But I sure will read them NOW, after you have revealed
me to be what I have always secretly suspected I was. It feels good
to enter this next phase of my life knowing the truth about myself.
No, Jesus Christ, Ravi Yogi: You gotta tell me in what way I
unwittingly f****ed up in this response to the hard-hitting and
entertaining CurtisDeltaBlues.
Otherwise I am likely to become hostile to all Hindus. And I am
sure you are a nice guy. Just a little too powerful and accurate in
your put-downs of us de-Hinduized fellas.
I believe Ravi did an interview at Buddha at the Gas Pump where he
talked about his enlightenment.
