Fair enough.

And no, I am honestly not trying to change the world, that cannot be done. But I am trying to help those closest to me. Probably a mistake, chalk it up to my human nature.

I have to admit that I sometimes tell myself that I am wasting my time - people cannot be helped. And I guess that that's probably true. I sometimes think that you, Roger and David are here to teach me that lesson.

I mention the conspiracy stuff because I know it's true (it's not a belief, I truly know this) and because I know—I feel remiss in not sharing it. Whether I am making a mistake in telling others remains to be seen. But if you see someone walking into a cave and you know for certain there's a bear in there — you naturally want to warn them. That's my dilemma.

However, most people have firmly held beliefs that there are no 'bears', etc. and anyone who says there are is misguided.

But that aspect is the least important to my mind. 90% of what I write is about duality. The "evil" I mention however will rear its ugly head and you will be confronted with it. I am just pointing out that good and evil are the mistaken interpretation of duality and that the only escape from evil is to free oneself from duality. This is the real message of the great spiritual teachers IMHO.

That said, for many, it is their *beliefs* that are holding them back - they cannot see beyond their firmly held beliefs. The Diamond Cutter Scripture says:

"Even the religion is to be abandoned, how much more that which is contrary to it".
