Excellent, Stephen, I agree. It is why we are monetary reformers right? Money is key to governance and that mutual respect is basic. I have often said that 'belief is where one stops thinking which is why there is a lie hiding within it. ' I have more faith than belief. But you are right, belief is personal as religion is personal, it is "ones relationship with the powers and principles of the universe." However, when it is used as "the art and practice of influencing others" that is the definition of politics. I think of God as that unseen creative power within all that is and isn't, why we are told to "look within" and that science and religion go hand in hand. I'm with you and Michael and even at 76 I hope to witness that quantum leap in human consciousness.
