I completely agree with this, I will not agree with Robin usage of the terms enlightenment-de-enlightenment, Unity theories but I have been able to clearly discern all his views and do agree with the majority of them, at least the terms he uses to describe them. It seems one needs a certain level of intelligence to understand Robin that clearly the majority on FFL lack. And so I'm not surprised at his reluctance to post on FFL anymore.
