I get what you just said, I don't expect Don to get it. In the ten plus years I've been at this forum, I have never seen Don budge on any of his viewpoints. He is too emotionally attached to his viewpoints to consider what any so-called new age ghetto people have to say. He is so emotionally attached to his viewpoints, that it isn't surprising that he is as intellectually dishonest as he is.
It is very arrogant for him to believe that he understands what other people have experienced, better than they understand. It is laughable that he believes this. A reasonable person wouldn't believe this, only a person who is so emotionally attached to his belief system that he feels the need to strike out at anybody who discovers something that differs from what he believes.
His declarations of being intellectually superior to other people is pompous.
I didn't bother with reading his last post, because until he learns the importance of becoming free of his psychological conditioning, his judgment can't be trusted.
If somebody believes that I am being too blunt, remember that Don has no problem with speaking towards people he considers new age in an arrogant, condescending and disrespectful way. Not only does he do it here, I've seen him do the same at astral pulse and Robert Bruce's forum. Consider the below example from Astral Pulse where he said along with other things "Well, now that you've had a chance to see and sniff the broom up each other's New Age butt, it's time to resume more sweeping astral discoveries."
http://www.astralpulse.com/forums/welcome_to_out_of_body_experiences/swedenborg_... Don, do you really expect people to listen to you when you won't show them the respect they deserve?
What kind of verifications do you need in order to understand the importance of speaking to other people in a respectful way?
