Gotcha, i figured you had yer stuff figured out.

“In the short term, being destructive has distinct and powerful advantages, but in the long term takes you further away from your goals, and from benefiting others… Therefore, unless directly asked, I am simply not going to discuss other teachers of men’s psychology or ways of relating to women.”

I think this is wise, and a principle I see you keep to also, Stephane. Everyone is (rightly) aware of their own strengths, and it’s better to keep to these than highlight the perceived weakness of others by invidious comparisons. But the tendencies in all of us, and can sneak in unawares if we’re not careful, as my previous comment demonstrates. We all have our teachers, and get our ideas from somewhere, but it’s in how we uniquely synthesise and implement them that our personal magic, if we have it, lies.

A lot’s happened in my life recently, and you might guess that I can confirm from my 52 yrs perspective how right you are about how sh_t life generally is, and how well you’ve done to rise above it and really ‘get a life!’. My personal development teacher, Leo, who died in 2002 was always saying pretty much the same as this post. It seems scary, opening yourself like a flower, pouring your heart out in public, until you realise most people are just worrying about justifying their unsuccess, afraid, so who’s out there to be afraid of? Another teacher of mine, Don Cupitt, a way-deep theologian-philosopher, said this is the age of ‘coming out!’ (and not just for gays shine your light fearlessly. let your wisdom be a beacon. I still, at 52, have a few problems with that, but after a major earthquake, I’m getting there I think, and of all the people on the net, I find your heart resonates with mine. Scary to say that, huh? Sounds kind of ’squishy’. but not really. Because you know what I mean. And that makes it okay, no matter what anyone else thinks. I listened to your interview with DYD (which is in 8 parts on youtube) yesterday and it was awesome, man. Dr Paul recently said in his newsletter that he’d realised it was unwise to think yourself a cut above these time-served guys. DYD seems a genuinely nice guy, a kind of hub of the industry, and he’s helped a lot of people get established. But those last two parts! He was just listening, man. Like you came into your own and, well, there wasn’t much he could contribute at that point! There’s a kind of vibe you give off when you’re ‘in flow’ which I guess kind of ’sneaks into’ people, and they get mesmerised, their hearts are just there listening, you know, kind of saying to them, ‘He’s right, you know!’ It’s a joy to read and hear you. “Rock on, Tommy”

I hate it when jokes… ahhh text doesn’t carry my emotions through the ‘net

I do not “worship” Tolle.

I want to make man-love to him, that is all.
