OK, then I'll help you a bit with that: you have so often been wrong with your seeing me, that it's very hard for me to accept other things you say you are seeing of me.
Of course people make mistakes, but that many makes me doubt your capabilities as a seer.
I'll bet you won't believe it but when I know I am wrong, or someone tells me something that maybe isn't nice but true nevertheless, I will accept it and say it too. In your face or in writing (forum).
But if nothing convinces me of the truth of your words, then no, I won't accept it.
I know you believe in reincarnation, so that's why I am saying you this: maybe you were a zealot priest in one of your past lives and are still trying to get rid of some bad habits you took up during that life.
Oh, and if you don't want to hoard hard-won knowledge, write a book, and throw it in the mob.
You say you are often pointing out your own foibles. But how do you feel if someone else points out one of your foibles to you? *I* know I'm a stubborn ass, so people have to do a little bit more than just preach their truths to me.
BTW: It's the 4th of July now (in Holland that is) so I wish you all a happy..eh..what do you call it? I should be celibrating too (being 50 yrs old for about 15 minutes now), but I am not interested in celebrating having survived for another year, lol!
