Since when did I say that I cast stones? Or meditated? Or PRAY? All
I'm saying is that I've seen pus-seeping wounds open on exposed flesh (1/4
inch deep and 3 inches long) with no one touching it. Call it psychosomatic
if you will. I'm sure someone else (yes, you, Wade) will call it
hallucination.
I don't care. I've simply found certain techniques useful and the
effects repeatable. I don't claim to know how it works. I don't claim that
it comes from God or anything else. However, I'm not going to drop
something that consistently (that it, with a success rate of 90%+) produces
the effects that I am looking for, just because someone else _thinks_ that
it's bunk. And I'm not going to consider my perceptions flawed for that
reason, either.
I don't astral travel.
I don't do Reiki.
I don't consider myself a shaman.
I don't worship the Mother Goddess.
I don't talk with God.
I don't talk with Satan.
I don't read Tarot cards, or runes, or geomantic sigils, or palms, or
tea leaves, or the flight patterns of birds, or the entrails of animals.
I do try to keep up with nanotechnology.
I study Neuro-Linguistic Programming.
I am a capitalist.
I am somewhat versed in syllogistic, symbolic, and predicate logic.
Does this fit your view of me?
In fact, it's evident that you don't know _anything_ about what I do.
Be a little more informed before you insult someone, eh?
Don't be too rash waking me up, Reed: I nap frequently, and carry a
knife....
