Yes you are right, I did take offense and I was waiting for Denise to leave before responding - poor lady didn't want to scare her. I have also read your other posts, I felt that you are indeed a complicated egoist much fascinated with your intellect but I wasn't so sure so I just lobbed a little something at you. I would love to be proven wrong in my assessment. I appreciate your thoughts and the irony. To clarify your other comments - no, I don't consider myself a Hindu though I have lot of Hindu conditioning, you are free to hate the Hindus - wouldn't bother me a little bit and yes the beloved is the Self.
