Thank you -O- . That feels really good. Have a great day!

Okay -O- Best wishes anyway

It's just not that complicated!!!!!!!!! Really, it's not! The judgemental and accusatory remarks are what is offensive and constitute the HUGE turnoff here. God Bless us all. -O- , you participate in both the TTB forum (and frequently on this thread), as well as the Invitation only Kunlun forum, so please .... it really does seem to make a 'difference in your life.' It seems that you have endured painful experiences and I am sorry for this. I wish you the best in healing this pain and suffering you have endured. If you have such a problem with Max, then why do you visit the Kunlun forum??? It clearly doesn't work for you. P.S. Good luck with your baldspots. And 'Press on' as you see fit. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE... always.

Dear -O- First of all, I wish you the gift of peace. Also, You must realize this: the words I wrote in my previous post, were spoken from my heart not yours. I do not speak for you, or to you in the previous posting. I was speaking from my heart to Max. Furthermore, I have chosen the path of Love, not Fear, and I am proud that my heart is full of love and appreciation rather than fear and negativity. I do not apologize for this. But what is the purpose here in pointing gnarly fingers ? Only to hurt another? Hasn't there been enough gnarly finger pointing and ill will perpetrated by Mr. Hata on Max without you interjecting more rude commentary? It sounds like you may have been hurt. I am sorry for this. We all know what hurt feels like, I am sure. Apparently, you have spoken your truth, and I hope you feel better for doing so. A wise man once told me, 'If you can feel it... you can heal it." So I tip my hat to you, and say, be healed. In my opinion, Max, at the very least, deserves an apology. The behavior and verbal assaults towards him, especially by someone who doen't even know him, have been way out of control and unwarranted. Good grief. Why don't we try to provide the space for some healing to take place. It's time. It's time to shift this negative and hurtful dynamic and stop the petty mud slinging. I humbly extend love, peace and forgiveness to everyone, including Dr. Hata, who have been affected directly and/or indirectly by this extremely hurtful commentary and thread. Thank you for listening. P.S. Man, at times my life can be so challenging and people so demanding, full of expections, that sometimes I wish I could dissapear for day, never mind a year. Cool Max. Did you really do that? Dude you are my hero- not my Sifu- but my Hero! haha hehe!

My heart is full of love, appreciation and respect for you, Max Christensen. Thank you for all the wonderful practices you have shared, and through your example, all the positive virtues we have witnessed. Thank you for being who you are. I am called to remember some of the simple yet positive and powerful words I have heard you say over the years: I am no better than you are. You are your own best teacher. Everything you need to know is already inside you. Live your art. Be a good example for others. Have compassion and respect for others. Always smile and remember your childlike nature. Just a few simple yet positive and powerful words. Thank you Max.

And the point here is not whether or not Max wants to be called Sifu or not. What is relevant is that Hata is out of line. As far as the cream rising to the top... Hata is is the one launching attacks with his Verbal arsenal on Max's good nature and character. Not the other way around.

hmmm..... Like a gentleman, peaceful, with respect and dignity for all... without ego... or attachement to one's titles... without jealousy or fear... not immature and self serving or EGO driven. It is really sad and shameful that someone of a teacher, sifu status, Mr. Hata would stoop so low, attempting to harm the reputation of a good man such as Max Christensen who is loved and appreciated by so many people. One can only hope and pray that the appropriate lessons have been learned and all due apologies are made. And as they say, the cream always rises to the top.

Dear Marblehead, Thank you for making me laugh... and smile! Your comment was indeed quite funny! Yes, I can and do talk. And I can speak loud and clear, particularly when I feel an injustice or when I need to speak my truth. Thank you for your observation and acknowledgement and for your welcome to me on the TB forum! Best wishes, TheLadyPhoenix
