    From the page: "When it comes to discerning spiritual truth, we have to remember that we are all just touching our part of the elephant. Depending on our perspective, our beliefs, our upbringing and our Soul's history, we are all going to have a different experience of the elephant. Truth is subjective. Our Truth is not the same as anyone else's, and it may change and evolve as we do. THE Truth doesn't really exist. So is everyone simply always right? No. That's where spiritual discernment comes in. Even if we're just touching one part of an elephant, we can be very certain that what we're touching is, for example, definitely NOT a bird. And yet, there are some people that will try to convince us otherwise."

    Andrea's article-- a well thought out and balanced rendition, reminded me of a book "The God man of Feet of Clay". So I request you to read the article and read the book too, whenever find time and opportunity to do so. Regarding the write-up--Absorbing is the word.

    From the page: Divine Truth meets us half-way. We may only be able to grasp our particular perspective of the elephant. But that perspective will be perfect and deeply satisying for us, for where we are right now.
