Merle,
Jesus, I thought *I* was supposed to be the poor soul who was enmeshed in
concern 24-7 for the almighty ignominious Dollar. The way you carry on about
it, I think you are trying to compete with me, and steal my title. Cut it out!
I am, reluctantly, clearly King.
Merle, see the way the false mind works? Already, you are ready and able to
impute all sorts of motivations to Subhana's role as a teacher in two Wisdom
traditions, and her work as a Doctor. Don't "buy-into" what the false mind so
fleetly offers, Merle! Be a good Cousin? Trust your Cousin?
