Something worth considering: if you're able to discern, or feedback from others has lead you to believe that you may have or hold some narcissistic tendencies, could it be you are overestimating your own intuitive powers? Is that at least a possibility? For example, I always thought your sussing of Doug K. as "an old sage" (or was it "ancient"?) was at least apropos contextually. But it could have been a mis-extrapolation of the fact that D. left numerous natural pregnant pauses in his speech - a natural part of who he was, the natural silence I felt he had, in his mindstream. As the Rig Veda says, some friends are like mud puddles - others are like deep lakes you can vanish into (gross, rough paraphrase). D. was the latter in my opinion. It was actually those deep silences that made him so pleasurable to be around. I remember asking him, after the fact, if he knew who the sage was you had suggested. My memory's vague at this point - but I thought he said he had asked you, and you either did not know or gave a vague answer. Surely you remember this?
