Mrrzy... Why not indeed... Honest relationship with people is just one of the many benefits of each person's honest and personal relationship with God... I find that when I make people the main goal, instead of God... that the underlying purpose and source for spiritual intuitiveness can become clouded... occluded... by personal attachments and political maneuvers. By cultivating my 'connection' with God, I become more than I would otherwise be... and also, I find I am better equipped to spot and root out my own 'issues' as they arise, thus, keeping my head in the game becomes more openly process oriented for me and the people I am with.

What is lacking here is any sense of 'loss' of self and potential... the paranoia of my earlier Deusphobic convictions have proven to be quite unfounded.
