You are course free to do whatever you like; I am not here to try to run your life for you. If you are asking what *I* would do, then I suppose if I were hearing the same diagnosis over time from a number of people whom I considered to be enlightened, and if I considered myself to be in ignorance, I believe I would try to be open to what they were attempting to awaken in me -- and not merely continue to lose myself into the inevitable pain and resistance their diagnosis brought up. :-) > > Otherwise, why would I consider them enlightened, > > and myself not?

No! There is the Third Way, which embraces the other two whole- heartedly -- and I recommend it whole-heartedly :-) > > > I'm really kind of astonished at how *prickly* this > > > topic seems to make many of you, as if it were > > > bringing up something you didn't really want to look > > > at yourselves.

So you are really saying you are feeling pricked *by* us, as opposed to how prickly this topic seems to make us? I can only speak for myself, but I am not attempting to prick you, only to hold a mirror up to your primordial splendor :-) To subscribe, send a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Or go to: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/ and click 'Join This Group!'
