I agree, Wil! :)

I think human beings -- even the most holy prophets and mystics -- have limitations. When we see or hear something (earthly or Divine), it goes through a "black box" in our mind that filters the pure experience through our own thoughts, experiences, culture, language, etc. What is actually...

Path of one: Thanks, and I'm looking forward to learning from everyone here, too! :-) I like your username; I think each of us walks a path of one, and all our paths take us to the same destination. Alex: Thanks! :-)
