Since Anthropogenesis was written before K was born anything in it could not
be about him or his actions.

Could you cite couple of specific instances that you have seen what K was
doing to people in Switzerland that you consider "worse than what the
scientology "church" is doing."

I have read a lot of his biographies and his writings. I also had
opportunity to attend some of his lectures. Some of his speeches/discussions
and writings have helped me to clarify my attitude to life and those with
whom I deal with.

Different strokes for different people. I have seen people going to his
lectures and either they never want to go and listen to him or they come
back again and again. So I am not at all surprised about anyone feeling like
what you do.

Don't worry about hurting me or any one. We are here to explore with an open
mind and exchange information, ideas, opinions so all of us are better
informed. We are bound to be different and that is what makes it
interesting. Please post anything you want to say without any concern about
hurting me or anyone.

Thanks for your prompt response.
