This was an interesting article, but I fail to see what the quote from my
article on psychic powers had to do with it.  Was the poster implying that I
was a member of some Western religion and should meditate to remove these
bad feelings?  If so, the first point is not quite accurate (I assume that
by Western religions you refer to such things as Christianity which are more
cocerned with externals than internals), and neither is the second.  I said
that I wasn't in "my best mood".  If it were not for the fact that I am a
skilled meditator with a lot of control over my emotions, the situation
would have caused me to slip into deep depression.  As it is, I was only
plagued by small feelings of irritation.  No doubt I could have banished the
feelings altogether, but that would be dishonesty to myself.
