(Eric) It has come to my awareness that I really enjoy 😉 interchanges with you on most all subjects accept one; politics. I have sneaky suspicion that topic may resurface again. But we may need quite a lot of time to distance ourselves from it if it isn’t the rest of this incarnation. The mind tends to polarize discussion if the heart 💜 is not given equal or more time. That sounds and expresses part of my present observation.

I think your fathers relationship is quite the same with regard to your aunt when it comes to religion. It is interesting that some people have the ability to know when they can broach topics  they are able to and when they have little to no affect on others. Or…like you mentioned your sister… bringing up topics that just have no constructive consequences. Although I wonder does your aunt need to be challenged? In our case, I find no real helpful way to discuss such issues, it is not a case of avoidance.

I keep thinking of Paramahansa Yogananda responding with ‘you may be right’ to people trying to tell him his religion was wrong. I just think he could display an incredible humility when needed. Much more than I ever have. I ‘think’ it is partially because it sounded like an insincere response. But then again what other response can you give someone that already ‘knows’ they are ‘right’ ?
