You can see what others think of your own philosophical ideas, and you can help others to become clearer in their own thinking. When there is difference of opinion, we have an opportunity for "friendly debate," a very growth-promoting experience. Bill Van Fleet

It’s such a shock to be born into this planet in the Human body, to suddenly have the cellular structure presented to you yet again. It’s a shock to the system that is the soul. T …
