Steve, you've quoted me but have responded from a rather high horse. I'm not sure I can see up so high, there's a glare coming down from the heavens. Perhaps there's some additional experience missing to what merits such a heavy reply or this worry over someone, "looking for chinks in your armor?" In either case, thank you for all the time and energy you do spend with helping us gain spiritual insight and perspective with our lives.

As a treptasaurus I find the mud rather comforting. It helps me feel grounded!

Just dismount, lighten your load and give your horse some fresh water. The glare is most likely from the presence of maya we are all attracted to and often find ourselves misinterpreting. No doubt though if there is any additional experience missing it will manifest more as time moves on and we witness it’s manifesting all our inner thoughts and attitudes. You may need to wear sun glasses for the rest of the ride. I do not think you are looking for chinks in anyone’s armor here. And I thank you as well for giving us help in gaining spiritual insight and perspective! Yes, i have quoted you and i have again, i appreciate your responses. At times we see friends and those around us who become self satisfied in their outlooks and therefore find no reason to make an introspective attempt to understand their own feelings and attitudes. i find that you are attempting to understand this as I am myself.
What I see happening here are lessons in perception. We all look at life subjectively. But what is the real intent of a persons response or post? Do we really know? It is a humbling experience to recognize that we as yet not enlightened beings see thru the focus of our own minds and attitudes, not necessarily what is reality and recognizes the inner intent of someone else. Astrology for the most part is an observational science. To the extent that spiritual perception and intuitive wisdom is interjected often shows the validity of the astrologer on a higher level of consciousness to just observation and empirical evidence. An astrologer like Sri Yukteswar has a road map far superior to most of the human race. Who would venture to contradict such wisdom. It is at times difficult to even comprehend the various approaches of Masters from a human perspective. 😊
