Each soul is potentially divine. The goal is to manifest this divinity within by controlling nature, external and internal. Do this either by work, worship, psychic control or philosophy — by one, or more, or all of these — and be free. This is the whole of religion. Doctrines, dogmas, rituals, books, temples, and forms, are but secondary details. -- Swami Vivikenanda

About Those Who Use You, Abuse You ...
Often, I encounter folks who have profiled me, pre-judged me. It's all right, though, according to Yeshua. But it brings up a good point, from another angle: how do you know if the information is good? Good counsel from AA Michael reminds those that engage with all matters involving the Mind: YOU MUST TEST the entities you encounter and USE YOUR DISCERNMENT as to whether there is veracity in the messages they give you. Don't know what that means? Then you MUST seek those out that know this knowledge and LEARN. That said, David and I remember these sentiments:
"O God give us the power to see ourselves as other people see us."
-- Robert Burns
"Oftentimes, to win us to our harm,
The instruments of darkness tell us truths;
Win us with honest trifles, to betray us
In deepest consequence."
-- William Shakespeare, Macbeth ("that Scottish play!")
