Lou,
Please listen to Barbara - she's right. I'm sure you have insight in to something great that has really worked for you and could work for others. Instead of blaming, scaring and belittling people on this board to listen to what you have to say, create a forum where those who want to learn CAN GO TO. This makes so much sense. You can never force or cajole people to adopt a different lifestyle. You can only kindly make the information available to them and hope they are READY to receive it. This may not be the forum for your teachings, but you can create that forum! I'd love to learn more, but I don't like being spoken to in an accusatory manner, assuming I'm a "bad" person. Like the path to enlightenment, people have to be ready for each lesson. If they are not, move on to the person who IS, insuring they get the most of what you have to offer. It's wasted energy to stay on this board. Create a site where you CAN actually help those who WANT to learn and make sure we have the link.

> I have a suggestion. It seems like your message won't get a chance to be heard if you insist on this board as being the vehicle. It's really not an appropriate place for what you want to do, and that's just the way it is. So why not start where you are, here and now, and work with what you've got? Start a Yahoo Group and write as much of your message as you feel is right. Let the folks on this board know how to find you. Then at least there would be a place to go to read your work and you might be surprised at how many people you'd get. You've gotten a few folks on this board who seem really interested in your theory. If you re-read the thread, many have asked for the website and pleaded with you to let us know how to get more of this info. It seems you're not hearing this and focusing on the fact that you can't say it on this forum, rather than on the fact that there are many of us who would welcome a chance to visit a site you've set up DEDICATED to your work. Think about it. Right now you're not getting your message out because you're not 'thinking outside the box' (or is it the bun?) By setting up your own group, at least it's a start and you'd have all kinds of great documentation (messages from readers) and stuff for when you decide to start a website, or write your book or whatever.
