  1. I'm not going to dispute you on this. I feel like you think this is legit and I believe you.
  2. How is he an act any different than anyone else? I feel like there's a need sometimes to put down another to elevate anyone's own imperfect ego from criticism.
  3. But once you say this you're stuck with it, right? Then it becomes a belief.
  4. This is imputing a lot of motive on a class of people instead of actual individuals.
  5. I didn't think you believed in God. What is God to you?
  6. We are all humans. We forget this.
  7. I sense a lot of trauma being projected outward. I don't see a need to demonize anyone like this. Especially not him. It's a slippery slope obviously.

  14. But have you seen another person enough?
  15. I feel like the Feminine in general is more focused on relationship, and the Masculine is more focused on the individual; and this creates a natural conflict in reality that we face every day.
  16. Why is it nothing? I'm not understanding.
  17. To what degree is Consciousness filtered, and how can we come to know this? Is this regarding us or others?
  18. I like this guy. He does seafood.
  19. This is a hard question. Afternoon In Paris, In Walked Bud, Darn That Dream, Four, Minority, Misty, Tenderly, There Will Never Be Another You, Yesterdays, Yardbird Suite.
