"Just paranoid vision"????
>From my point of veiw, it is unproductive to focus on whether a vision is
"really there," which is related to the need to nail down from which mind
the vision is emanating. These are minor issues. I think it's much more
important to understand what is the message, the content of the vision. Let
go and fly.
