Wise.
More and more, I am reminded of the Biblical "separating the wheat from the chaff"
Every year, it's more and more evident who walks on the light side of the street and who on the dark. The division is becoming stark.
It's sad, but the better part of wisdom to let the 'dark ones' go from our lives, for if the dark side wins, these people will turn on friend and family alike, will 'turn you in' - for the kind of treatment they have given "Joe the Plumber". The only reason he hasn't been sent off to some salt mine for retraining is because they AREN'T in power yet. We ARE all "Joe" and we need to cut the would-be Jack Booters from our close circles. We can't help them but they can hurt us.
I appreciate your posts; a family I’m very close to is in the dark (specifically, the extremely dark Crowley/astrology/theosophy/Steiner/Kali darkness; very committed and very proud) and it’s pretty impossible to talk about much of anything given the juxtaposition of our worldviews. I miss them and pray for them every day!
