Yeah, except that the focus here is your hypocrisy in "instructing" Jason on the importance to one's spiritual development of always focusing on what is productive and uplifting, as if that were what you believed and how you behaved. Obviously you'd like to try to obscure that focus, but unfortunately the only way you know to accomplish it is by shifting the focus to what you call the "dark stuff" of the person pointing out the hypocrisy-- which is what you just told Jason is to be avoided, compounding the original hypocrisy. I'm just exposing your "dark stuff" to the light, you see. And I suggest that "operating in the Now" is not a sign of your great spiritual development but rather a means of avoiding accountability for your behavior. > With that kind of focus, what do you think they > will become? > > :-) :-) :-) If we were to go over your posts here (not to mention on alt.m.t), what percentage do you think we would find focusing on "dark stuff" as opposed to what is productive and uplifting? ------------------------ Yahoo!
