Christine, <<there are points she makes about living a simple, healthy and satisfying life unhindered by too many material possessions that make a lot of sense.>> I wonder if she has kids? A spouse? Living the simple life for yourself is great, imposing it on your dependants is perhaps less so. If nothing else, the dependants usually have something to say about it. So much, in fact, that the path of least resistance is usually to work harder and give them what they want. At which point they begin complaining that you aren't around enough. Perhaps she wanders because of the old law that domestic demand increases to exceed the resources available to fill it. It's not the easiest thing to live with. Steve

Christine if you have time read the HELL scare tactics on ask God. I have replied but you may want to add your two cents. The guy has a well illustrated well planned graphics display for his home page. Even has a Doctor to testify on someone who had a near death experience. And the Christian right is hollering about Clinton lying.

I don't think that Peace Pilgrim viewed God as a supreme being. Here's how she described God: God is Love, and whenever you reach out in loving kindness, you are expressing God. God is Truth, and whenever you seek truth, you are seeking God. God is Beauty, and whenever you touch the beauty of a flower or a sunset, you are touching God. God is the Intelligence that creates all and sustains all and binds all together and gives life to all. Yes, God is the Essence of all. So you are within God and God is within you - you could not be where God is not. Permeating all is the law of God - physical law and spiritual law. Disobey it and you feel unhappiness - you feel separated from God. Obey it and you feel harmony - you feel close to God. What do you think of this description? Also, she made it clear that you don't have to walk 25,000 miles in order to further the cause of peace. Rather, each of us needs to find our own way to do so. I think part of your contribution is starting up the Feelings thread.
