Hi Rob,
I believe the word she used was 'antidotes' but maybe I'm wrong. Maybe she meant anecdotes and my mouth said anti instead of anec.
This remains thought provoking to me as to how to understand it. I have rarely transmitted Olfana. Maybe she will visit again.
best wishes, jim

Hello Jim-
Thanks for your reply! It adds depth to the inherent ambiguity of langauge when used for eliciting deeper levels of perception.
I share your uncertainty, but initially allowed the existing text to stand as the term "anecdote", when used in relation to 'irritations' implied as unreal the false characterizations of beautiful souls each of us are in truth beneath the surface of the "unreliable" accounts so often on display to purely mortal senses. When 'seen' as such are a source of humor. I say this only because of Yogananda's assurance to me that disagreements occur in higher worlds as well, but rather than being a source of chagrin, are a source of humor.
In light of both your seeming to lean toward the use of antidote coupled with Russ' suggestion, I will change the text as such, but due to the uncertainty, I will leave a link to this discussion for those who might wonder along with us.
Gratefully,
Rob
