You tell me that as Im not enlightened then I cannot be sure of my practice, then you state that what you state isnt a beleif, but you "know" - are you enlightened?

By all means 'seek' every daft 'spiritual' idea. There's loads of them, it will give you something to do until the 'end'.

As to encouraging, albeit passively, others to 'seek' all this stuff, all I can say to that is you are taking on the responsibility for their spiritual development or retardation. If what you put in front of them turns out to be false, you must take the blame and responsibility.
