Apologize to Frank Goad

I want to come with apology to @Frank Goad.

Some time ago i was unkind to Frank because he spoke a lot about OBE, and later i realized that my critique was unfounded and terrible.

It has come to light that a form of OBE is actually a part of Sufi teaching. And I am guilty of making a false critique of Frank.

I should never let my own foolishness and ego get to me in this way.

So @Frank Goad i am honestly sorry for my own behaviour toward you. If my words hurt you, that is fully on me, I know i can not take back my words, but I learned a lesson.

Yeah. I remember you posting a religious Scripture quote that didn't mean what you seemed to think it did, so I kind of wedged myself in like the chubby, overweight little Marshmallow I am to try to just kind of distract attention and hope cooler heads prevailed.

I'm not mad though. I think you and Frank Goad are both good people. Some day I'd like to talk religious beliefs with you maybe @Conscious thoughts because both of us despite having entirely different faiths, may be at a similar spiritual level, I think. But if we ever do so, I kind of prefer to talk on the public forum for now, as sometimes I don't like much the "closeness" that comes with PMing even in cases where I have great friends. I make exceptions sometimes for sure, but well.... you probably get the picture.

I am always happy to discuss religious/spiritual matter. So even i am wrong it means i have more to realize.
And the more I have studied the more I realize i am often wrong in my understanding. And should have veen more humble about it, and not attack others

But even if it were not in Sufi teaching then still it would have been wrong to try to steer others away from their beliefs (RF Rule #8 or so):)

And even if it were not in RF Rules, I would not try to steer others away from their faith

That is of course a part of why I wrote this to Frank. I was wrong on all parts in the discussion. It was not Frank's fault at all.
But I did let my own stupidity get of on him.
