I mean no disrespect to him or to you, but if it is that subtle, from a practical standpoint, who cares? My benchmark for such things even as a child has been if it is creating undue strain, don't bother. On the other hand, if something seems readily available, take advantage of it... Reminds me of a larger issue, sort of related to the emotional healing vs TM discussion. After I had been meditating for awhile and been exposed to all of the esoteric Indian stuff and tried some of it on for size, I realized that as a person of the world, with a finite amount of time to devote to spiritual practice, I had to use common sense in what I adopted vs not. This then led to a growing sense of freedom that it was I who was most interested in enlightening myself, vs blindly accepting and following the precepts of the saints. It eventually made for a much more interesting journey, being empowered to deliberately choose from a menu of thought and practice what best suited my personal spiritual development. > Until we have a clearer idea, it makes no sense to > assume he's contradicting established scientific > fact. > ------------------------ Yahoo!
