I read about a third of it. And you are right, I *couldn't* read anymore. But I don't think it is because it exposed Barry's weaknesses. I think I have a pretty good idea of what are Barry's strengths and his weaknesses. But I am not sure if I see the value of such a detailed dissection of his personality or anyones personality for that matter. Actually I think I would welcome it for me, and I think you have given me a little taste. I think it is a basic tenant for anyone who professes to be a spiritual path, the notion that those ideas or thoughts that make us uncomfortable are the ones at which we should look more closely. I had thought that I had incorporated that idea into way of living. But perhaps you see that this is not the case. That said, I do like Barry. And I am not embarrassed to say that I have at times looked up to him as somewhat of an "elder" in this path of discovering the truth about things. That is not to say that we haven't had our falling outs. I think those have defined the relationship much more of late. But it is also true that I dislike being critical of him. But like anyone else, there are times when one feels they must speak out, and I feel I have done so on many ocassions when I have found myself in disagreement with his opinions. The game tonight had an unhappy ending, for me and the family, at least. Unfortunately a questionable penalty was called in the last minute of regulation, and a power play goal was scored by Vancouver shortly into overtime. You may recall that one thing that made the Stanley Cup playoffs so exciting last year was noticeably less penalties called. The "Great One" was in attendance. When they panned to him he was sitting in the regular seats, I guess to give more the appearance of the "common" man. But after the first period it appeared that he retired into one of the private boxes, which is as it should be. He looked great. ["You scored, dude. You scored!"]. Understand? Reality has to remake us; we cannot remake it. Or rather we can; but if we decide to do this with any kind of dogged determination, then we will wake up in St Louis wishing to find something which would prove that O.J. really could not have killed his wife. > > > > --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, "seventhray1" steve.sundur@ wrote: > > > > > > > > --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, maskedzebra <no_reply@> wrote: > > > > > There is little real courage among the posters here at FFL.
