I deeply appreciate good natured questions, whatever their purpose brother. You certainly have the credibility with me to deserve a good answer.

It is something very easy to discard if you haven’t had the experience, so I try to not be offended by it. I was once them. Nor do I find any superiority in it - I just consider myself extremely lucky. I wish a similar experience for everybody because of the good and the value it has had for me.

I think the disregard can go both ways. Those who have had that experience, or even worse those who by pride assume themselves the possessor of some obvious truth that only a blockhead would miss, are equally hurtful as the individual who has not and believes it must all be hallucination, or made up.

That’s one of the things that draws me here. We start by saying “stay humble.” It’s hard to truly do, but I think it’s one of the best pursuits.
