Josh, I feel like your words have cut a few petals off your orange and yellow flowers! (chakras)
I know that whenever you listen to another's teaching, or even your own, you should do so with a grain of salt. On these forums, there should be salt flyin' around regularly! Even the Buddha said "Believe nothing, no matter where you read it or who has said it, not even if I have said it, unless it agrees with your own reason and your own common sense." I can be sure that the Buddha examined his own words regularly and laughed at them.
I believe your post had an element of "snideness" to it. There wasn't much content other than a peck at dolphin. I'm sorry if these words are coming on too harsh. I know the power of words and sometimes I stumble around them.
This has been said several times on these forums: "Sometimes I look back over what I've posted and I can't believe it was really me that said that." And I know this holds true for me. I laugh at a lot of what I say.
That being said, I believe I owe dolphin an apology. I assumed what he wrote several years ago were problems he was dealing with today! I'm sorry, dolphin. And I'm sorry if I'm taking this thread off course.
