There was no ill intent behind my words and conflict certainly wasn't the goal ... if we are all brothers and sisters then a little bickering among the siblings can surely be seen as a healthy option occasionally lol

HA! As the youngest of 9 kids, that's a metaphor I can definitely resonate with.
I will say this, though, (and I'm just as guilty as anyone). It's kinda idiotic how much of a tizzy we tend to get into over minutiae. Reminds me of the movie "The Name of the Rose". It's a murder mystery set in a Dominican abbey during the heyday of the Inquisition. There's this big, important conclave happening at the abbey, all these great Christian thinkers and theologians are showing up. It starts and do you know what massive important matter they were there to discuss? Whether or not Jesus owned his own sandals.

Heh! I had not heard of that, but just the synopsis of it - and the title - I find a very profound and revealing anecdote about the religious/political climate of the day.
Yeesh!

I always feel I can trust your sincerity, Kate... as in this response.
I have asked that you don’t answer for others if I specifically ask another person a question, however I realize I am not at liberty to insist that doesn’t happen … in my experience, it can be quite inhibiting when that occurs...
I understand. That was insensitive of me, so I'll curb my passion a bit and wait for the other to answer first.
more blessings
Xan

Good movie, stars Sean Connery and a 17 year old Christian Slater (came out in 1986). If you're a reader, it's based on a novel. Haven't read it myself, but my mother did and said it was excellent.

What is Love?
How about this from Goswami Kriyananda - in the lineage of Babaji -
Sri Yukteswar, etc...
"And what is love, other than touching that which we believe we are not."

Prepare yourself for the coming astral journey of death by daily riding in the balloon of God-perception.
Through delusion you are perceiving yourself as a bundle of flesh and bones, which at best is a nest of troubles.
Meditate unceasingly, that you may quickly behold yourself as the Infinite Essence, free from every form of misery. ~Paramahansa's Guru's Guru.
