Thank you Charles; I can agree with your observations. Naming "IT" is THE
problem. I encourage those interested in the subject to name IT only to
themselves. I prefer Consciousness of the Cosmos
when describing IT, when necessary. Cof C is convenient to me when speaking
of mystical contact and of spirituality generally. I object to the Jesus
freaks and fundamentalist god spouters as they seem to be closed minded
dogmatists. Culture certainly has an incredible impact. I did not believe in
the existance of Jesus yet a vision of him walking into body accompanied my
first symbolic death!
I have no hesitation in using the term LOVE in expressing mystical contact!
love jr
