No, no! Please don't' feel bad. I only wish that we had this discussion in person, instead of this forum. I am confident it would have gone on very differently.
This interaction with people like Paragon has taught me how to stay on the esoteric path:
1. One of our most useless weights is to believe in the necessity of conflict.
2. I must work on my anxious craving for approval from others.
3. I need to be aware of involvement with interesting but immature people. "Do not trade your gold for their gravel."
4. Be aware of hostile attitudes in others, then realize they need not influence you any more than "a slashing storm can affect a beam of light!"
5. Inward right action relieves us completely of concern over results in our outward actions.
Thanks James and all here, you are great teachers!
