    I agree....... thanks for the advice...... I've been calming down
    about the situation now and I see it in a better light....... the
    confrontation will probably still take place... but I'm seeing my
    and his weaknesses and strengths my better than before.... he's the
    type to not show or see weakness in himself, just in others....
    conceited if you will.... so I can work on my own soul mirror, and
    that will help me far more than just ignoring weaknesses and
    pretending they're not there....... oh by the way, I've actually
    been a member here for like... more than a month, I've got it set up
    so I get the new posts sent to me via email... so I think I read the
    thread you were referring to, I just haven't really had much to post
    about until now cause I had a 'teacher' to talk to about questions
    I've had.... I'm only now realizing that his answers didn't really
    do the questions justice.... so I must now re-analyze the knowledge
    I've acquired from him and use the good for myself and take the bad
    and keep it in storage in my mind, knowing this is how he looks at
    things.......

    I've got another question thinking about it...... has anyone here
    ever heard of a feeder? someone who pulls people into their group
    to feed on their energy by manipulating them and their
    addictions/desires....... right now that's the basis for his plans,
    he's been pulling people in, by way of mostly drug addictions (pot,
    pills, and also sexual desires) to feed on them, and he's also
    acquired my best friend through manipulation of his desires........
    I'm not yet sure how strong my teacher's grip is on him, but I was
    wondering if there's any way to help him to figure it out and choose
    to free himself...... currently my contact with him is severed due
    to the circumstances, but I managed to get a message to him that I
    wanted to talk to him and for him to contact me...... I want to be
    able to help him with this, but without letting on about the
    situation (e.g. my teacher and my confrontation, etc..) to come (for
    fear he might be reporting back)........ any suggestions on this
    particular type of thing would be even more helpful.... it's
    difficult to figure out how to go about things in a tricky situation
    like this........ but I thank you for the advice you've given, I
    think that soul mirror work alone will be incredibly beneficial to
    me in working this out.... I just don't want to see my friend be
    manipulated like this if there's something I can do about it....
