MessageHi Eric,
I just wanted to say quickly in passing that:
1. Any comments I made about my feeling of the "master" concept
were general feelings, and were in no way meant as commentary
to what I think of you. I meant no disrespect to you personally.
In fact, personally I've never met you and as I've said before
I'm happy to see you come out of hermiting and add your voice to
the choir. Again, there was no disrespect toward you intended!!
2. When you were discussing your overlooked practice of the tip
of the nose, my comments about Michael's micro practices were just
to present other practices in the same vein that are overlooked
by the community--in the same way that you describe some of yours
are overlooked. i.e. my comments were about the practices.
I in no way meant to imply that I think Michael's stuff is better
than yours, or that Michael is better than you or whatever.
I really really didn't. If that was what you felt, then I
greatly apologize! I've never done your practices before,
so I can't evaluate them (even if I wanted to); and if anything,
hopefully you saw that my initial questioning (before things
got heated) was of curious interest. I'm interested in all
what can be shared, yours additionally.
3. All I'm really interested in, is in talking about the practices.
Not making judgements about this person being better than that
person etc. (which is ultimately the main reason for my prior
comments about master-disciple etc. to tell the truth here)
4. Truth be known, I think you are highly accomplished! To be
doing esoteric practices for as many years as you have is incredible.
You know a wealth of information from your many years of experience,
and that's definitely worth comment. The fact that you have two
comprehensive "textbooks" on the material from your system
is incredible. Writing such things, I can only imagine the amount
of time and labor involved in doing that. I'm presently writing
my own book (math, and separate from dissertation) and it
such an incredible undertaking. It's like giving birth! And
you've done it twice! I think that's astounding, and commend
you on your effort.
5. Usually roses are better than sledgehammers and/or being
confrontational, but sometimes to move a large couch you need
to apply a large force. ^_^ Of course, sometimes the people
involved can take it too far and then all involved get hernias
and strained backs. At that point, it's time to stop and let
the body heal; you know what I mean? :) All joking and
light-hearted humor aside, I think it time to be silent for
a little bit ... if for no other reason than to let this
particular conversation die off and let emotions simmer down.
We can all play another day, hopefully.
Peace and love,
Steven
