Hello grey, Yes, it does appear that there is a growing Naxof contingent here. I can assure you that is not by design, but by happenstance. I do agree that it is important for people to speak their minds about what they believe to be important issues. I have very strong feelings about the concepts of love, compassion, and tolerance. It is only through HONEST communication that people can begin to understand and accept one another. However that has to be a two way communication. I can speak to Emile forever, but I dont think I can change his mind. It is in that spirit that I have sent you some private emails in the past. We have some obvious differences, but through communication I think we could achieve some understanding. I think most people want the same things. Some people operate out of fear, and some out of Love. The goal is to get as many of the former to operate out of the latter as possible, without forcing your beliefs on them. Take Jane as an example. I think she truly wants the same things as you and I. I detect someone who WANTS to like and trust people. I think she operates mostly out of fear of the unknown, and that is where she derives her opinions. I think more than anything Jane wants to be a good person and tries to be within the context of her belief system. Personally, I would like to see her belief system change, as I'm sure that she would like to see mine change. It is through forums such as this that we can communicate, and hopefully achieve some common ground, as Nancy, Alan, and Bob's fine example showed this morning. Sincerely, mark From Conversations with God Fear is the other end of love.It is the primal polarity. Love is the ultimate reality. It is the only.The all.The feeling of love is your experience of God.
