In all seriousness, Chuck, I want to thank you for responding with "I don't
know" instead of providing me with some long-winded yakkity which serves to
try to make me feel ignorant and you too knowledgeable to discuss my points
(even though you just may be).  Not to embarrass you, but, I consider it
very courageous.  It is rare to come across someone who is not afraid to
plainly say "I don't know" (I, myself, fall into that trap many times myself).

And I did miss your attempt at "reverse psychology" - that may be due to
the very suspicious nature I have developed while interacting on
theos-talk.  Which is not a good thing on my part, I admit.  But I have
seen the spiritual damage done by those who claim to be clever and privy to
the "Masters" thoughts - and this damage has obviously effected me, for my
"idealism" is in dire danger of dying.  My grandma warned me that this may
happen as "idealism" is not welcomed and considered nothing more than
childish ignorance. . .she told me to beware lest I lose it. . .and my
heart breaks with the thought that, perhaps, I have disappointed my
grandma. . .after all, I did promise her it would never happen.

A hardening of the heart and soul is not a good thing - and after my
exposure to theos-talk, should someone touch my heart they may now find
fewer places of non-resistance.  Definitely not a good thing.
