I for one don't care so much about norms as I do about
honesty. I would rather you write your real opinion
about something you know about (yoga perhaps?) instead
of someone elses words cut and pasted without giving
credit where it is due. Don't worry about trying to
impress us, you're not going to. Even the geniuses on
this list don't really impress anyone on it. I guess
we are just an incredibly jaded bunch. But I want to
know what YOU think not some college student trying to
B.S. his way to a B.S. So what is your opinion on
chakras, prahma, and kundalini? Are you of the hatha,
karma, or tantra school? I for one would be interested
in discussing such things with you. Prahma is entirely
consistent with my own neovitalist philosophy. Sure
the materialists on the list will beg to differ but so
what? They haven't found a molecular basis for the
difference between the minds of Stephen Hawking and
George W. Bush yet so what do they know?  I for one
would prefer earnest curiousity and naive questions to
posing and plagiarism. I am not judging you, I am just
challenging you to be YOU.
