Mike,
I have no problem with your point of view. My wife thinks I'm nuts, always has, but she loves me for who I am. She is totally opposite me. She keeps me grounded! Reread your responses, you do bring in negative statements and/or judgements about other points of view, as opposed to just stating your perspective. Words hold energy, just like everything else. I have no problem with this, as I choose not to react to it. We are living in a time of very polarized points of view. (Pick up the newspaper, and try not to react to what you are reading.) I think your intention is not to do that. Sometimes a sense of humor can be disrespectful to someone else's point of view, or at their expense. Your original post had to do with your physical condition. I think that is a good place to focus. Your health will improve by practicing Spring Forest. I think your awareness of a higher self is very positive, and will help your practice.
One last comment. In your response to Margeret > "Let's just call me a fellow who believes that the mind's purpose is to perceive reality, not create it." I work professionally as an artist. The creative process for me involves perceiving of something that does not exist in 3d, an idea, or vision. I then make that vision something 3d. It is a powerful experience. Although I work on a different level, it is the same way the universe was created. Nothing became something. For me, the creative process involves my mind(and the rest of me), creating reality. Otherwise, I would just be repeating what is already there.
