Like when you have known the pulse and power of the ocean and have been bobbing in it and are carried away in it and taste its saltiness and feel its character, and then you have to move away inland, but you remember that the ocean is still there in all of its energy even tho you are not in direct contact with it, the memory has some power left in it. Don't let Len bother you. He is intensely negative and a skeptic in nature and only sees his own view of things as real. He is convinced it is possible to understand yourself by picking away at the edges of his thinking, but you can't understand yourself, you can only be yourself, and by letting all that go, which he refuses to do, the self will disappear and rise again restored and refreshed. Just relax, don't worry about it. I agree with what you write about reality. You are doing fine. No problem. Larry Epston Thank-you.
