I have myself been long times and many times as a child at hospital as a patient and suffered terrible pains--so that surely has *decreased* my identification as a body, but surely not lifted me above the bodily platform. I have not been living a safe life in a temple. I stand behind what I have written and if you read carefully what I have written then you maybe can understand me and my situation better.
