But when I asked you to elaborate, so I could find out just what I said that you didn't agree with, you seemed to back off, so I'm getting confused as to what you meant in the first place. I know I don't know what you're going through, but you have my sympathies and my prayers, if that helps. (And thanks again for the card).

Oh good - I thought you were objecting to what I was writing about on this blog, which describes my beliefs. Sorry I misunderstood. "You have not actually read what?" The Varieties of Religious Experience. It's on my list, sometime after I finish Brian Broom, David Bohm, Mary Baker Eddy, and Frederick Myers. “You don’t need to change your beliefs, Nate.”

I read the book in the early 70s. This particular experience corresponded to one I had. I never forgot it and looked for it and found it again. Sorry…. I read the book in the early 70s.
