Mike, thanks for that story. I believe you're absolutely right about that dynamic. I suspect Johnson is one of those who understands how to manipulate it. And I'm so glad that your own obviously strong connection to your center and what people call "spirit" or soul guided you away from that group and that pretender. But I don't have to tell you how many millions of sheep are out there.

Mike, I personally believe that god herself talks to everyone. Anyone who says god talks only to him or a chosen few is after power and control, not enlightenment.
BTW: does anyone think "god" is sticking around, watching the "superior animal" make a major mess out of the whole perfect planet?? She/he/ It has left in disgust.
Judy, does nature talk to you? Do other people? Do books? Does music? That's something greater talking to you, isn't it? I'm not trying to convince you of anything, but it's a terrible loneliness to believe we've been abandoned by love.
All that stuff has and does. I don't get "being abandoned by love". .... I have never been lonely, even though I have been "on my own" most of my life.
Really, why would some creator of this marvelous planet earth not move on to someplace else and start fresh and try NOT to end up with humans. I have been very close to nature all my life and have a very hard time seeing what is happening, in MY lifetime. 84 years of it. We are killing everything.

Many people leverage the perception of God to ease the pains that come in life.
But. Many people also seek a leader who can make them feel as if they are close to God since God herself talks to nobody.
Those folks who understand how to use the power of a “close relationship to God” with others are always dangerous.

God does not talk to me. Ever.

I was reacting to your line about She/he/ leaving the planet in disgust.
