Well, Denis, I suppose you've gathered that if I talk about Tao or
spirituality it's from my own reading of the text to which I refer. I haven't
trained under any senseis unless you count my Greek-Orthodox upbringing, but I
don't even think about their interpretation of the Bible. If I come at you
with heirarchy, it's going to be presenting what I think and leaving it
completely open for you to respond. Ex: My joints are feeling extremely sore
today, and rather than considering seeing a doctor or taking any
over-the-counter medication, I'm going to meditate pretty intensely to figure
out what's going on. Heck, I'm in medical school.
