Just wanted to thank everyone for their comments and helping me to sort things out. I’ve appreicated the discussions and the many insights that have been shared.
But I think for the sake of the integrity of the board, and the harmony that has existed here, it is best that I move on, and it’s a good time for me to do so anyway, and I bear no ill will towards anyone.
May we all happily meet again in the next life, especially since I will be able to say “nya nya, you were all wrong about reincarnation.” 
Namaste.
