In my defense

Dear Lady:
Since you called me two faced, I want to share with you that in my years of working with people and my studies, it
really is clear that people function on many levels and many roles. At the very least, they sometimes function at the
child level, sometimes function at the adult level and sometimes function at the parent level. When and if one does
meditation or spiritual training,or social psychology studies, one finds that we function on as many as 30 different levels. To mention a few, there is
the heart level, the mind level, the gross physical level, the cell level, and many consciousness levels , sleep being one. Then there are the many different
levels of functioning with our senses.....sometimes people are more hearing sensitive, some are more visual, some are more
taste sensitive, some are more touch sensitive and some are more smell sensitve and various combinations that change in different situations.

Also, people change. Information and intereaction changes people, or one could say , 'experience' changes people.
From one day to the next people are changing. General Semantics emphasizes that a person such as Louise today
is different from Louise tomorrow is different from Louise yesterday or any yesterday. One can go crazy expecting
people to be the same every minute of every day for their entire life. Trying to put people into convenient slots as if they
were like pieces of mail is a disease of the mind and against nature. We call it, categorization. Everyone does it, but
our best scientists know that it can easily become a disease of the mind. Nature has many cycles and cycles within
cycles and endless variety.Even random is not random when you consider fractals. Only the sick human mind wants to clone everything because variety and change are the essence
of life.
