Your words were, "Regardless of Helen's example, or lack thereof, I
think that the course, by reinforcing the truth that we ARE
responsible for what we experience, has probably contributed to and
expanded the web of shared responsibility on our planet, small and
weak though it may be."
My focus of the response was "reinforcing the truth that we ARE
responsible for what we experience." This is something that you have
claimed for yourself from the course. Some others who have been here
do not seem to claim this.
