Jerry,

I think the point Leon is refering to is that you spent so so many posts
arguing that 'liberation in a single lifetime' was the only valid view to
hold.  You argued repeatedly that any other view that included believing in
a number of lifetimes ahead of us or even just the *seven* of the Chela was
"self defeating".  According to you, Theosophists who believed this were,
fearfull of liberation, afraid to Try and Dare, would be reborn because they
believed they would be etc and on and on.  And yet at the end of all those
posts you said you don't agree with this view either, but consider it as an
extreme.
