was advisable to identify ourselves because you mortals are accustomed to
attaching names to personalities and so you admittedly felt more connected to us

names represent, what names have more value than others, what people listen to
certain teachers and not others, and so I am hoping to transcend that by not
identifying myself. Perhaps we can just try to find the Spirit of Truth in our
efforts.</FONT></P>
