My disagreements with MMY's perspective on human consciousness has nothing to do with emotions. it appears that the residual "vasanas" > or areas of anger, resentment etc. are so ingrained as to belie any > possibility of integrity in those areas. This is a Vedic sounding poopy pants argument. Claiming to perceive "self-evident truth" reveals a lack of understanding of epistemology. I don't portray your perspective as being the result of some psychological flaw Rory. I give you credit for having good reasons for believing the things that you do based on your experiences and your conclusions. There is a way to disagree with a person's POV without demonizing the person personally as having a psychological flaw or denial patterns. And a smiley face at the end of a negative personal putdown doesn't make it positive. >
