Lance,
I want to try to glean from TT the general interpretation of this before
I present my insight, and see if there is a general consensus on a
"standard" interpretation.
I want to try to get a feel for whether I have indeed received some new
insight I did not have before, or if I have merely learned what everyone
else already knows. It certainly is a different interpretation than I
expected. It differs greatly from what I have been taught that it means.
Besides, people like to hold onto their own interpretations so strongly,
right or wrong, that if I present my understanding of this before everyone
else comments, and my interpretations DOES step on a few toes, as I think it
may, I will get blown out of the water before I even get a chance to explain
it! You know how hostile it can get on TT, right?
Based on your understanding of these verses, what is your answer to these
two questions?
