well it was AWESOME !!! I thoroughly enjoyed it and deeply appreciated the skills and energy that were put on display. It started off quietly and progressed...
What can I say to get Dan on a roll. He never speaks unless it is immediately pertaining to Realization. How anyone could ever find anything to say about...
Hi Jill Jewell -- Nice to hear from you. Realization is a word, a toy, that people like to throw around and play with, sometimes enthusiastically, sometimes...
... Well how about transformation?Is there a wish to be transformed? If not a wish or desire to be enlightened which is simply 3rd state self reflective self...

... Hi Rob -- I like what you're saying above -- stands on its own -- doesn't have to be taken as an "explanation" of what I said. Explanations aren't worth...
