Before you go, this from an earlier exchange:
Steve: "Yes, I trust our experiences. Experience trumps theory, always. Do you trust my experience and hold it equally valid to yours, josef?"
Josef: "No, I don't hold yours equally valid to mine. I don't know you well enough."

That's very sad, and sums up our differences.
You may want to go back to the cultivation drawing board, josef, because the Big Bad Voracious Ego you so adamantly believe needs crippling has been running a bit amuck of late.
Your views of Daoist practices and principles are uniquely yours. Despite your frequent protestations to the contrary you want them to belong to all with whom you commune, because yours are the only 'authentic' views. The only 'authentic' Daoist way. That this is the case is obvious to any careful reader of your posts.
Good luck in the nirvana you've carved out for yourself, josef. Pray for us souls adrift in the glorious frenzy of existence.
