well said, charles!

permit me to sit down at your campfire here for a few moments, and lay down some of our off-the-public-side of this topic for the rest of our campers to digest.

for perhaps about some high ninetys' percentage of the people reading this stuff, "shining the light " on something involves mega-candle-power type devices that really can be a lot of fun, and effective for "bringing the darkness into the "light," especially when you get up into the two to three million candle-power range, but i have found the expierience of trying to explain the "dancing in the light" thing to be generally a waste of breath when you're dealing with someone who has no concept, or consciousness of/or that are/is other ways. and the only way you are going to be able to effectvely communicate this other alternative is to communicate with your intended target/audience on the same level of conscious awareness, which usually means that you either have to drop down to their level, or raise them up to yours; i choose the latter, because the former can really give you headaches.

as we have come to understand that "knowledge is structured in counciousness," the simple path, always my favorite, is simply to always teach your children with a heavy emphisis on the expanding the knowledge aspect of the practice, and then just sit back, relax, and let the "son shine through."

if it seems like a jet airplane just flew over your head, just go back to the beginning of davids' "convergence series" the book and try again, this time focusing on the content; can't wait for the movie...
