You declare a judgment on another's comment (which there is a certain amount of irony) citing your basis on your mystical experiences.<BR/><BR/>At another cafe ... the counter at Denny's, there was a regular that other of us 'fixtures' all knew, he was a dragon slayer and would regal you with tales of all his exploits, woe to you if you challenge his profession. Sometimes openness is best not explored.<BR/><BR/>So personal mystical understanding meeting centuries of time tested ... sorry, mysticism ungrounded can lead you into all sorts of trouble.Kevinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00261766465382455822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23327221.post-89156194664727651452008-02-29T09:06:00.000-05:002008-02-29T09:06:00.000-05:00Well Kevin I give thanks and praise that you put t...Well Kevin I give thanks and praise that you put the question mark at the end of your sentence!
