While I applaud both your insights and your attempt Jim, I think that at this point trying to talk ration- ally to Off about 'balance' is sorta like trying to sit down with Pat Robertson over coffee and convince him that 'sin' is all in the mind. :-) I didn't mean to set him off so badly; I was just struck by the fact that he was doing what many TMers seem to do -- repeat the things they've been told by TM teachers, over and over (and in Off's case, using cut and paste to repeat them *verbatim*) -- with the idea that if they just say them enough times, people will believe them. It's just the strangest thing; it's almost as if they were trying to pass some test, and if they repeat the things they've been told exactly enough, they'll get an 'A' in the course. :-) ------------------------ Yahoo!
