Barry can say this only because you guys *haven't* been there. If you had, you would have seen hundreds of posts from me over the years that positively *revel* in contradictions, including those in MMY's teaching. I've said many times I wished MMY would make more of the contradictions than he does. Barry and I have had many exchanges on this very topic, so it isn't as though he'd missed those posts. There is, of course, also a value to consistency, in its place. The irony here is that Barry is having trouble dealing with the apparent contradiction of someone valuing consistency, on the one hand, and valuing paradox, on the other. ------------------------ Yahoo!
