May I kindly enquire what the hell you are talking about?  You are the one
who said that ego and unwillingness to learn were preventing progress in
the subjects under discussion.  I asked why you thought that way because
as far as I can tell the recent discussion has been productive and
informative to people. How does that imply curiosity about your mental
attibutes?

I do not know you from Adam.  Why on earth would I feel curiosity, anger
or anything else about you?  You asked questions on this list as do many
people and I answered them.  Maybe you don't like the answers or maybe you
do.  It makes no difference to me.

Uh no.  The example was to show how an analogy works, something it didn't
seem you were getting.  Like the train and the tracks, the rope and the
snake illustrate an underlying principle and are not important in
themselves.

The track this list is on is Advaita Vedanta.  Is that your track or not?
