Two people can have this deep, telepathic link but getting on that rollercoaster isn't something you can experience via someone else. If you look at the lessons from an argument, you know pretty much what will happen. Someone is going to be with you, someone is going to be against and someone else will sit on the fence. When it's all over it's either kiss and make up or hate each other. What else is there to know? The question is, how does that feel? That can only be experienced by you personally.

We are different people from day-today, sometimes minute-to-minute. You'll come on these boards and someone will write something that puts a light bulb on in your head - you're changed. You've also had this experience before so why are you back here again? Because you've had this experience before you've changed since the last time you were here. You have that experience under your belt now which you didn't have before, so your whole perception of the situation has changed. Plus, of course, everything that has happened in between. The 'you' that had the original experience isn't the 'you' that's having it now. You're coming at it from a different perspective - spirals not circles. And when the experience is over you know you've been there, don't you? And isn't the best way to learn something to experience it?
