v, no hatred, smile, mere boredom about your projections and your redondant bla bla bla: *YOU* believe that I believe that I am an enlightened being
You are only speaking about you !!!
calm down and be reassured: I am not competing with you, I wouldn't want to
I have never even claimed to be a healer or a teacher in places where there are many healers, teachers and audience-in-need of family: there is nothing wrong about bringing solace to other's suffering
if the karma body that you borrowed from your parents had an injury who needed an operation, you would be pleased to receive an anaesthesy rather than have the surgeon knive into your 'awake' flesh ... I bet that you don't refuse an injection even when you go to the dentist
I may enjoy idea levels that please 'the artist in me', like a good song or show, but it is just that: idea colors that I tap from the ocean of ideas, ones that I chose to float on my palette and although I know that you are as little disturbed by agreement or disagreement with your prose, much like a computer, I resonate with all the buddha quotes that you bring forth: they stand by themself: using them as weapons for your own hateful agendas is abusive, a violation and degradation of the basic spirit of mahayana and a profanation of the sacred.
This is my sincere opinion
