*That's* what Lawson was saying. (BTW, I reiterate what I said in response to Lawson's characterization: I agree with him that meditating and living life contribute a lot more to what is worth knowing than the discussions on this forum, but not because I've "drunk the Kool- Aid." Rather, it's based on my own personal experience, both pre- and post-encountering MMY's teaching.) ------------------------ Yahoo!
