Hi Menski. (observe attempts to capitilise eyes below) Hi, thanks for sharing. As to Ruthless Truth, I have been following them, but as I am not 'a graduate of their system' as of yet, I cannot claim to be 'from' them.

Freeing yourself from one delusion, you'll just create another, and yeah you might find it interesting for a while. But the cycle wil...
