		<description>HI Leanne,

I know what you mean.  There is nothing worse than someone who preaches something but they are so wrapped up in it that the intention behind it is lost.

I just read Eat Pray Love again and there was an interesting bit in it about tying a cat to a tree to meditate... similar concept, and very amusing!

		<description>Hi Joey,

I think the recording was really interesting and I definitely am a believer in tolerance for another&#039;s point of view.

There&#039;s a really interesting chapter in Richard Bach&#039;s book one about religion which demonstrates how easy it is to feel so strongly about your own beliefs that you can become &#039;militant&#039; about protecting them in their &#039;purity&#039;.

In reality, tolerance is about chunking up really ... what&#039;s the highest intention of the belief you hold ... finding some common ground to work with. 

After all it&#039;s not just about how you practice, isn&#039;t it? To me it&#039;s more about the underlying beliefs of love, peace and understanding?

Love life and live it creatively,
Leanne</description>

		<description>Hey brendan,
Thanks for the comment. Love the thought that its &quot;either evidence or faith&quot;... Either is just as relevant huh? 

Keep in touch!!

		<description>Hi Joanna, I like the way you think. Truth is one of those strange concepts that can be hard to nail down, or dig up, which ever way you look at it.

One person&#039;s truth could be another&#039;s nightmare or scoffing joke.

One angle I look at it from is that truth comes either from evidence or faith. Both have merit in the right circumstances and both can be shown to be foolishly derived. A lot depends on your POV.

Anyway, enjoy the journey.
