Oddly, thats often the response of people when they are told they are
not clear -- or not being clearly understood. Just repeat the same 
obtuse thing -- just LOUDER. Repeat something often enough and almost
anything can start to sound true (to some).

So as Peg Leg says, "I could fulfill a desire to end the war in Iraq,
but its Iraq's fault for not surrendering to "MahaME"." (Or MiniMe if
they care to surrender to Jim instead of you, :))

Funny, you see and hear should when I see "could". What is can "could"
always be more divine, more and expression of heaven. if you or it
don't like that, then sure, leave it as it is. But if vision of what
could be has not been snuffed out within you, then seeing what could
and helpingto enable that change is a good thing, IMO. Wallowing in
yesterdays news (now is what was conceived yesterday) is not a huge
virtue, IMCO, unless you want to gloriify something then worship it.
Pesestalphelia.

And if you want to continue to talk past me, not to me, I am certainly
not saying you should change. Its your call.

I said nothing about shoulds -- but you apparently saw "shoulds" in
what I wrote. Projection could be an explanation.

But if my words are a good catalyst for you to sermonize on other
things, wonderful. Thats your creative urge to change the topic and
unload whats on your mind. Thats always an option.

We are sympataco up to here.

I say its our resistance to use our divinely granted and enabled spark
of creativity and insight, inertia, stagnation in the present, that
restrict the application of our skills to remove blockages to things
moving towards greater fields of happiness. Now is one level of
happiness. Feel free to worship and be stuck in that. Out there is a
greater  field of happiness -- and if its within my power to enable
it, I will use apply my divine right to reflect the virtues of of that
creator / divinity.  

I don't say everyone and everything should be happier, whole and
radiating creativity and love. I am saying, they Could be. And to the
extent I can enable that, that is my nature. why restrict nature?

And in your story and projections, do you see me as advocating action
"arising from pain and suffering and contempt and hatred". If so, I
see what could be -- you enjoying a happiuer, fresher, less
restrictive and conditioned view of things. THAT Could be. Its you
that appears to be saying it shouldn't be -- by staying stuck in the
quicksand of what has already happened.
