Call me KD 67.<br />Male,<br /> Oh my.reread my posts. I make no claim that my assessment of yogis correct. But, some of your responses are telling. Your post of 5:04 is telling. <br />I never mentioned sin. Yet you glibly post about going and sinning no more. That is, as you know, from the Gospels. And I suspect indicative of the fact that you know your attachment is disordered. It is a common problem amping Christians. A disordered desire is, off course, not a sin. Acting on a disordered might b be. That you have conflated desire with sin per se, once again, underscores your mistaken ideas about the world.<br />As I said earlier, I’ll say a prayer for you. But I’ll say twice as many as the dogs under your care. I sincerely believe you don’t have the mental acuity to know what’s best for them.<br />As one of the other says..<br /> Peace and good will to allAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35115061.post-11300806251682483322021-05-18T21:36:52.894-04:002021-05-18T21:36:52.894-04:00"I'll put my devotion to my dogs up again..."I'll put my devotion to my dogs up against anyone's" says Anon 4:03.<br /><br />Well, paws down to that!

You have elevated your mortal life by assigning to your pile of flesh <br /> an immortal soul. You think you will see humans (but not dogs)in the "hereafter". You have an out-of-proportion attachment to "heaven", a place that doesn't exist. It's a theory based on your own deformed sensibility.
