Well Jay I agree with much of what you say. I often criticize the sect of the spiritual world that labels and lays claim to truths.I can send you links to posts of mine that you may not have read. I object to the implication that there is no spiritual philosophy not trapped in dogma. I have never once read the goat or Tolle or any other guru. My beliefs stem purely from my conscious contact with my highest power, my spirit guides and Sitara. I also disagree that eastern teachings use fear of death to control. I can only speak for myself whose beliefs lean that way and I have absolutely no fear of death the date of which I believe is predetermined. The quality of my life and my death is very much I believe within the purview of my free will. I'll slack you my latest that I just published this morning. Got to go now. I have a call with all my aforementioned powers in 15 minutes
