Again, I thank all of you for the kind words. Seeing and transmitting a greater truth is not as much a gift as it is a practice for me and a craft that I have honed over the years.

I'm even getting used-to the god-like associations here!

I will be your GNU - if that is what you want me to be!!!

I'm afraid it's a fair analogy, Bill, I have to admit it. One notable difference, of course, would be that the lions in our scenario have no use for the animal, should they eventually overcome it.

Bill, this is a reasonable and thoughtful question:

Are you aware how much you make up in these moments where you THINK you are seeing and speaking the truth?

This is in direct response to YOUR statements.

Why don't you stop being a big baby and a coward and answer such a question, instead of avoiding responsibility for what you say, by doing your victim routine?

Shouldn't a man your age be more mature?

I realize that whenever we use the intellectual function we are dealing with, at best, half truths.


This is true when we read, when we express our thoughts as we type or write, even, to a large degree, when we speak.


Thank you for asking a really important question. Hope my answer helps a bit...

By your own accounting, it is only half true.
