Hey Steve,
This was actually in response to a phone conversation we had over a month ago. Sorry but I don't record our calls so I can't prove anything.
Maybe you were noticing a polarization in my beliefs at the time and asked me if I thought you an enemy because of our differences??? If neither of us can remember, I wonder- does it matter? To answer the question, if the initial post had not, I think the majority of people including my self are being lied to- not that they mean harm but that the enemy would pit innocence against itself. Focusing on our commonalities and remembering our pleasant phone calls has always helped us rise above any petty differences- especially where politics are concerned. We are aware for the most part how little we know and instead focus on our spiritual partnership.
Hope your time at the retreat was nice, sorry the call dropped!
