Great Bat Story,

You have sacralized the lowly beast.  But perhaps that is not
altogether inappropriate since the theosophical bats are also a
piece of the Divine, if I have the theory straight.  They are
flying toward the light of transformation too.  What makes the
bat paranoid? Too much light? Too much diversity and yesodic
imagery for them.  Bats hone in like radar on what doesn't fit
their particular theory.  Their theory is what keeps the
theosophical, and anyother ideological bat, safe.  But I firmly
believe that safety while important to consider is not as
important as transformative truth.  As a former and recovering
bat, I have come to realize that the truths of others, that I
disagree with, are limited as mine are and that they in no way
threaten the Absolute - so I trust instead of know.  I hope the
bats learn to trust that Absolute.  Like I said excellent story,
Paul.
