Therefore, my question here: you like that > '[your] position keeps going poof', don't you!? Marsha: I'm an introverted thinker, so it's mostly a private adventure. Strange question construction... :-) I don't like or dislike my position, but recognize that static knowledge is relative, all interconnected and co-dependent. Meditation gives one some special insight into the nature of all the thoughts we hold so important. They go poof. That understanding seems to leave room for one's heart to participate, but is that always good? I'm a student, a novice, and still have too many questions.
