No doubt people will share exactly what you propose-- the
relevance to people of the words and ideas of the Masters. But
as recent events on theos-l show, a certain "therapeutic"
framework in which we can learn to respect our differences
rather than attack them might help start things out on the
right track.

Fraternally,
Paul
