Wow seems like you could do with a stress management class. Do you always attack everyone baselessly when you don't get what you want. Hm why not start your own list if you are so unhappy. We live in a relatively free world where people can choose to share or not. Your accusation that the reason structural integration is so poorly know cloud not be more off the mark. Structural integration is a new very new science/art/philosophy.

The knowledge will do you no good without the experience.
I really don't care how many other practices you have studied or how smart you are structural integration is an art that one must learn how to create. Your outburst without an apology I am sure will lead you further into the darkness...
