LETTERS

with contributions from KAREN BERGER, MONICA FELDHAUS, PIERRE PRADERVAND, SUSAN BENSON

First, I can't tell you how much I look forward to Sentinel every week, with its inspiring, thought-provoking articles and testimonies of spiritual healing.

Second, I'd like to share a healing I recently had while reading one of those articles. I'd had mildly annoying sniffles off and on all day. I'd also found myself mired in an online discussion that, although I'd waded in with the best of intentions, soon degenerated into what seemed to be an unpleasant resistance from some parties to hearing what each poster was really saying. By the time I "agreed to disagree" and bowed out, the sniffles had become worse, to the point where one of my sons expressed concern about my being able to sleep that night.

However, I'd just picked up the November 9 issue ["Responding to natural disasters"] and turned to the article "Hurt feelings don't have to hang around" by Amanda Caswell. Although the discussion hadn't actually hurt my feelings, I know it had those of other online posters. And to be honest it was still bugging me. Ms. Caswell's comments about God being the only I Am, and hence the only Ego, reminded me that all the negativity that seemed to stem from one particular poster wasn't in fact, part of that individual's true nature as the image and likeness of an all-loving God.
