Faune,

Thanks for your reply.

I will reply to your points in the same numbers you used to keep all this tidy as possible.

1st - I had read the entire thread before posting, and I think I have a pretty good idea about what your ideas are. I need to make it clear that it is not actually my intention to 'convert' you , but I have always believed that if people are to criticise anything then they should provide reasons for doing so. I appreciate you have covered this to some extent. But this seems like the kind of forum that is conducive for rational discourse, therefore you won't mind me using it. Good arguments hold up on their own.

2nd - I was under the impression that the nature of our efforts apply to all that choose to take any path of any sort.

3rd - I am interested in what your notions on the nature of enlightenment actually are. Do you have any examples of enlightened beings that somehow define how one should act when enlightened? As far as I am aware, historical accounts of enlightened beings have no doubt been contorted to fit the dominant paradigm etc, to influence people one way or the other. Also, I am not sure I can really agree with the fact that Eric 'constantly boasts' about being enlightened. He has a certain way about him I agree, but he aknowledges this, and let's face it - anyone still on planet earth is bound to have issues. It doesn't matter how enlightened you are, you still have an organic body that can only interpret so much from 'higher sources'.

4th - Of course, you have the right to your opinion. As far as I am aware, you are yet to really describe where this description comes from, and is so less of genuine substance and more argument ad hominem.

Would you mind disclosing how as an older female you found your experiences much less than satisfactory?

You are correct in your assumption that I am a young male, but I don't think this removes anything from my arguments. You are incorrect that that Coyote is what would normally be considered a 'young' male. A community site of members who commit themselves to a higher level of dedication, and therefore could be considered to have a higher level of knowledge/experience, are in in the vast majority not young males accepted as 'chosen ones'. I think it is also worthy to add that I practised the HBI methodology long before they knew I was a young male.

I am also prepared to admit that I am new to HBI, but this only leaves me humbled as to the length and nature of the journey I am packing my bags for now. Not at one point have I been infatuated with Eric Pepin. If I follow him it is because he has demonstrated his worth to me in ways that have nothing to do with psychic prowess. If he struggles to this day, then so be it. Before enlightenment, you carry logs. After enlightenment, you carry logs.

I am interested in where you consider you path now to be taking, what systems of knowledge you now follow (if any), and what successes you have had.

You also pull on the ideas of the white cell/red cell analogy as being devisive. I can see where your coming from, as I still struggle with this concept to this day. However, again I would like to hear of an alternative, and not just the two famous words of 'universal love', which I have read much of in the past.

I hope you appreciate that my intended tone of this post is not slanderous, but inquisitive.

Peace,

LostCameleon
