Theos-Talk Archives (September 2002 Message tt00057)

I think most of us know that Brian and Brigitte are the same soul. The
truth is that she acknowledged this several months ago on another list. Her
games amuse me. It is equally amusing to see so many of us feeding her
enormous appetite with fleshy ego-bits of our own.

If we conclude that we cannot teach her anything does it follow then that
we also cannot learn anything from our various encounters with her? Might
we have a discussion on why we are responding to her as we are?

Jerry (on another list now) talks of using love and compassion as our
shield. There must be something to that. His is the only discussion with
Brigitte that has not ended in a shouting match and bruised egos.

Of course, not responding remains the option I most often choose. But I
must admit that I appreciate other's various responses because, as I said
earlier, I find Brigitte's games amusing even if I don't wish to play them
with her.
