Well, I noticed this about him back when I first found this site and he used computer programming analogies to explain "The True Nature of Reality" and I knew immediately I was at a great disadvantage on this website and probably wasnt' even "smart" enough to be here - analogies in blog posts relating to vectors, mathematics and the workings of electricity have further confirmed that .

I can't apply things or change myself by consciously analyzing them in order to understand them first. If I like or accept something, it feels true or good somehow, I want to incorporate it into myself and it seems like that just happens without any intellectual effort through ideas and feelings that come in my head based on a general idea and understanding of the thing in question. Anything I try to apply my intellect to turns into a mess and I lose the flow and all of a sudden, I don't even know what I was trying to do anymore - until I withdraw from the intellect and do it naturally again. (This applies to virtually everything I can think of, including things like dancing)

I have never thought it was stupid. I don't even understand what he means by it and all of the things associated with it, so I can't conclude something is stupid if I don't even understand it. I gave up trying to understand it, because he is not answering questions and I don't really believe anyone else here understands it thoroughly and properly.

That's a worrying thought...whose messenger would he be?

Despite the differences, the things you have written that I have read and understood, I agree with.

But enough about me

Does all that mean that you were not familiar with polarity prior to Steve's article about it?
