All true, Spirit.

But I think you might have missed the focus of the "negativity" here. It wasn't on believing, but rather on our reaction to PsychMaster's amazing inability to support his otherwise interesting OP, save to throw lots of self-important hyperbole at it. The idea of Dreamworld = Spiritworld was barely discussed, much less disparaged.

Believing is a fine thing, and the core of all great exploration; taking a guy who is literally equating the worlds of dream and death to a video game is not such a fine thing. BTW, PsychMasters did start another thread after this one bombed where he more clearly stated that he was really designing a video game or some such...
