Ian,

Develop meditation first, and then your questions will change, and you 
may understand the answers differently.  I do not get the violence, by some,  
towards Bo.  It represents such disharmony, whether he is understood or 
not.  After all these posts ARE comprised of "just" words.  I think nobody on
this list gets that these are just bits and pieces of pattern, and not swords 
and rocks.
