Despite your attempt to do exactly what Jim has been doing and make it all about me and claim that I am "freaked out," I'm not. It is simply that this comment of Jim's is a clear example of him having made a mistake. He has never admitted this mistake. It would seem that he cannot, because to do so undercuts what he says about the nature of enlightenment. But thanks anyway for your theory.
