Whatever. :-)
In the first place, using a lack of personal experience to attack someone because they've criticized you is inherently low-vibe. As I said, it doesn't get much lower. So it's not any the less low-vibe to use what someone has said about their personal experience to one audience for the purpose of attacking that person before a different audience. In the third place, it's downright moronic to assume that a person's spiritual experience is *static*-- that what they've reported at one point is never going to change. > Here's your opportunity to set the record straight: No, I don't discuss my spiritual experience on demand, as I've told you many times before. I'll talk about it when and if I feel like talking about it; I don't feel the need, as you obviously do, to boast about it or play dueling experiences in an attempt to put somebody down. > Have you ever had an experience of 24/7 witnessing > (the experience you yourself tend to associate with > CC) that has lasted longer than a couple of minutes? > For example, have you ever had such an experience > that has ever lasted an hour?

It makes no sense, for one thing, as noted. Also as noted, your tendency both to make boastful claims about your own spiritual experience and to use it as a weapon against your critics when they decline to do the same reveals that, as I said: > > It certainly makes the point that having spiritual > > experiences does not a spiritual person make, though. > > Yeah, we know that's your position. Interesting > position for someone who's never *had* those > experiences to take, eh? :-) :-) :-) It would be for someone who's never had spiritual experiences, yes indeed. Were you perhaps assuming that *only* those who had never had spiritual experiences would take that position? Now, would you like to attempt to justify your other major misstatement as well?
