In 2005 my absence from a graduation where I was entitled to collect my masters in Psychosynthesis and a post Dip diploma was caused in my will not to argue at the protest that was due to take place at the ceremony promoted by a terminally ill graduate who had been shoddily treated by the institute of psychosynthesis.
There was subsequently a view taken by Roger Evans a director of the Institute that I was afraid to attend and he was correct, however I knew he did not know was what I knew about the force of reason
it was because I would have won the argument with reason and once reason brings your mind to new understanding the only way to deal with is to lance the error or live in denial.
