i felt compelled to answer this statement... i've been a forum member since 04/07, i think number 400 something and have participated through the explosive growth, gaining much insight from many members and possibly offering a little along the way... anyway, i've never completed the law of one study guide or have read any "recommended readings"... i'd like to think that i haven't offended anyone here with my ignorance on a couple of topics, nor have i necessarily disobeyed any "rules" by "not" doing this. maybe its my sense of "free will", but i tend to get pretty "huffy" when told what to do... snip even with all of the fantastic information and knowledge contained within the law of one, it is still distorted in my opinion, just like all other sources are. art
