Thank you for sharing your great feedback as it allows me to gauge my ability to continue doing so. I know many are choosing a wide variety of paths for pursuing who they are. And that's a great thing. As I've always said- there's no one correct way for growing spiritually. However, I believe there is one incorrect way- and that's refusing to listen to your own personal guidance and awareness. The <em>truth</em> that others share is just that- it's <em>their</em> truth. It's fine if we find some resonance with it, but to follow it blindly because we think they have more spiritual "clout" than we do is definitely swinging the hammer in a more destructive manner. Thank you for your continued support, Goldie! All my best, John Goldie,

This is hands-down the most FANTASTIC blog entry I've read to this date, of course all of your blogs are medicine for the soul and mind, BUT this one (as you know) holds the GREATEST meaning for me and others I know. I cannot begin to express enough gratitude to you for remaining balanced and grounded at all times thus helping us ALL put our current challenges into a proper perspective. There are MANY MANY "groups" of all kinds claiming to be about the advancement of our soul so that we may "move" to the higher level when the time comes. This very ideology has caused GREAT stress for some I know as they have felt that they were NEVER doing ENOUGH to obtain this higher good. One of the billion of things I admire about your work/writings is how your always right in the middle. Your NEVER one side or the other but remain TRUE to YOUR inner self and Source/Creator. In doing so, you have the rare opportunity to observe your many friends go through their levels of growth, sometimes forward--sometimes backwards, and you learn from such an observation. I admire that ability in you HIGHLY for right now, during these insane times we live in, THAT IS CRUTIAL to keeping a sane mind and remaining grounded at all times. There are way to many zig-zag paths out here and most all seem to be extremely confused and their lives are in complete disarray. It's been blogs, such as YOURS, that have helped MANY of us to come back to our center, to be reminded gently and patiently by you of the GREAT importance of knowing OUR TRUE INNER SELF. We/I am FOREVER grateful for your presence with us all during this thrilling time on Earth, THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH!! Best Wishes to YOU always Friend, Goldie~~~ John, I am speechless!
