You sound like a guru dude. Some walking dude that thinks he's a god among mortals and I've experienced this but its a BELIEF covering up an even purer existence. Thinking you know the answer is different then never having to prove yourself because your experience is it and you obviously have some pretty strong and demanding convictions about how people should live their lives.
Please stop writing these unhelpful posts.
Simon sounds, not like a guru, but rather, like a person with some serious mental health issues/challenges (he's clearly stated as much in fact). I'd like to suggest that we do him no favors by responding seriously to the contents of his posts. Confirming or denying his claims and beliefs are both inadequate responses on our part with unpredictable results in terms of his reaction. Posting on this board at this point in his life may not be helpful in his struggle with mental illness, and he won't stop posting (and start seeking legitimate help for his condition) as long as we continue responding to his posts. As much as I see genuine helpfulness, patience, compassion, and etc. being demonstrated by some posters in their responses to Simon, perhaps it would be wise to accept that in this case we may not have the skillful means to actually benefit him.
