Thank you and you're welcome. I quote NDW often in essays and comments. My most often quoted are "Religion cannot stand Spirituality. It cannot abide it. For Spirituality may bring you to a different conclusion than a particular religion — and this no known religion can tolerate. Religion encourages you to explore the thoughts of others and accept them as your own. Spirituality invites you to toss away the thoughts of others and come up with your own,"

and

“The purpose of a relationship is not to have another who might complete you, but to have another with whom you might share your completeness.”

I'm often surprised, as you may be, how few people on Medium are familar with him. I've only read Conversations with God, Book 1. When I was first introduced to the concept of the soul contract 11 years ago by a non-religious member of an otherwise very traditional spiritual staff at a rehab, I asked her what I could read to gain further understanding and that was one of two books she recommened. I've referred to that as my first yellow brick in the road to awakening. The other book she recommended is Craig Bell's Comprehending Coincidence--Synchronicity and Personal Transformation.
