Theos-Talk Archives (June 2007 Message tt00149)

  Well, Dan C., as usual in your "arguments" you didn't post what else
I said on that point.  We also each "have within us a potential" -
school teacher, car mechanic, mathematician ...or transvestite street
hooker (in some cases....)  It is Dugpa BS, taking an idea with some
truth in it, mis-stating it, to give the wrong impression. (Hmmm....
seems like that is what YOU sort of do....
