Respectful disagreement. The 'image-management' here is one of detachment, non-emotionalism, a smug superiority among sometimes bickering boys, and that is very different from an internal state of inner union, as well as what might be called 'cosmic union', like some of the sages of India, or the Bu...

I can't do it Diebert, for the reasons I have been telling you. We're gonna have to take another approach. I sent you an extensive PM. Take any singular idea you want from that and bring it forward.

Sorry Diebert. I'm not going to take the bait this time. Well, I will, but just a wee nibble. I would suggest that what you are doing is part of the 'pack' game I mentioned earlier.

I think it is actually largely accurate to equate women with unconsciousness, as long as one does it with a great deal of care. And to think in terms of a dualism between 'spirit' and 'nature' is a good place to begin, for a man anyway. (I have no idea what the starting point for women should be). A...
