I'm not sure, but reading Morpheus' last posting on the main board perplexed me a little. As a person who considers herself to be working and struggling towards revealing, developing, or whatever my higher self...pretty much the first step I've tried to take was to be kind and gentle with others. It seems to me, and as always, only my opinion, that when one truly feels the deeper waves of love or spirit or truth within, and wants to spread that through art, philosophy, religion, literature, or just working at being a good and positive influence on the few people around oneself, one needs to dispense with a lot of meanness and denunciation of others. Or not even that they "need" to, they just do.
So I guess I found the message a little contradictory, on one hand, an urging towards self-development (positive) and on the other a lot of condemnation and patronization (negative) about the changing times. Hmm.
Oh well.
Morpheus, if you happen to read this, I admire your strength and willingness to believe and struggle.
