ORIGINAL: SimplyMichael So, some would and some would not trade a year of phone for a single night in person. Besides being clearly biased toward real life, it isn't the point. I have yet to hear what you can only do long distance that an equally talented/deep person can't do in person. Look, Michael. I have spent a good deal of time and energy trying to share my view with you. On occasions when you thought you saw a chink you could slip a rejoinder into, you responded to what I said. Other than that, I don't recall you acknowledging any value in anything I have offered so far. In fact I have, even before my last post to M&B, discussed things that can only happen remotely. You either are not reading my posts (fair enough) or are selectively ignoring important parts of them (also fair enough.) All of that taken together doesn't really motivate me to give you lessons in a whole range of aspects of remote training that have just escaped you. From your first paragraph I glean that you intend to cling to your bizarre metaphysics of multiple reality levels. It may just be that our world views are incommensurable. It may be that you are willfully ignoring my best efforts to come to share some of my understanding with you. It may be that I'm a blooming idiot. In any case, I'm not interested in continuing this conversation. I look forward to your posts on other subjects and will surely respond from time to time. I can very sincerely report that I expect and hope to learn from you, again, as I have in the past. This conversation, however, I leave you to continue with anyone else you care to. Maybe on adjacent barstools we could find a way to get somewhere with this stuff. If the occasion ever arises, the first round is on me. I hope that's fair enough.
