L.E: If this is the condition of a true friend, rare indeed are those who share this beloved state. Larry P: Indeed! This kind of people are rare, and they have few friends because they tend to say what others need to hear, and so they are viewed as enemies rather than friends. So Jesus said, " Love thy enemies. " He said that because he knew people hate those who point out their shortcomings. And " they " proved him right by nailing him to a cross.

Or mixing levels? the first level of awareness is unaware. the second level of unaware is thinking of being unaware the third level of unawareness is seeking awareness the fourth level of unawareness is being aware (the mid-point) the fifth level of unawareness is aware of its unawareness the sixth level of unawareness is aware of its awareness the seventh and final level is unaware of its awareness, (returns to no-thing in noOne) (and it brings us back to doe, a deer a female deer, fa, i'm on the way to run, so, oops hijacked again) or mix any level and it's still the same old bull shit in a different package, calling itself I Am, a schizoid personality, or I have finally confused myself enough to forget about this enlightenment stuff of dreams, oh horatio hornblower. who is the captain of my ship?
