Devi, You are also doing the judging, saying things like: " negative " " how old are you 17? " , " jerk " " get lost " " who the fuck do you think you are " . You are really deluding yourself if you really think that you have this beyond judgement thing going. You have been the most egotistic person on this list! " unconditional love, " is not the same as gleeful cultic enthusiasm. You have a bigtime holier than thou attitude and it reeks! The sooner you see this, the better I didnot ever say I was beyond this duality stuff, you did. Unfortunately, your words betray you. ))))))Shawn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
