The word "magical" is not what I complained about at all.
To work withI agree with this, as I've already said several times in this
land and with plants is to work with the mystery of life at some of its
deepest levels.

requires belief in a discorporate being who is channeled through someone
else's body.
As to science, those that travel deeply into fields of science are witness

So, before you imply censorship, think again. Some of your ideas areI'm not trying to "censor" anything. If you don't see the reasoning

I was not aware that anyone was playing 'teacher' on this list, but thoughtI don't think it's so much that anyone's "playing teacher" as that
that everyone was here for their own purposes. If that purpose is merely to
gather students, I would not say that would be a list that I would feel as
comfortable in as one where everyone felt that had something to gain from

sometimes we can lose sight of the fact that there are folks joining
(who may not participate much if at all) who are entirely new to

not feel the same way, but you can expect my responses to be in
consideration of those folks.
