Your sharp, acerbic wit and style are
much appreciated. Please let them loose
and excoriate something or another.
I have been quoting a passage from you:
<<I have no idea what a "being" is supposed
to be, but mostly because I can't assign any

I tried to switch to motzarella but I somehow couldn't get it to work

If one can't afford children, one should not have children.
Thanks to Julian, halfawake, possum, Keynes, Raan, and Evelyn for your

Various scriptures do describe what sound like unpleasant possibilities
from meditation or meditation done wrong. I count things such as
Christians' getting 'taken over by the Spirit' in that or in the Dharmic
traditions things like 'bad Kundalini'. They're things I've never seen
