Neither Tom nor Barry has the *foggiest* idea of what
my approach is. Neither seems to be capable of
conceiving of an approach that is neither "throw in the
towel" nor "Waiting Mode" nor "a heavy regimen of focus
and focused intent."
And of course in his current little rant Barry is
contradicting himself six ways to Sunday. In earlier
posts he's mocked those who take the "seeker" approach
of *trying* to become enlightened instead of simply
being open to enlightenment; likewise he has dumped
on people for not trusting their own experience.
And here he's advocating that I do both.
