Thanks for the reply Morgan.

Your questions have led to a lot of contemplation on my part.

I realize that to give you my most honest, heartfelt thoughts, I will
need to share much of my early days of sadhana and much about myself and
my path.

Needless to say this may take a few days, and when I am satisfied with
what I'm sharing, I will post it to the list under this thread.

Again my thanks for your sincere expression.

Take care.
