As Tom is found of the question "what do you think?" I believed turnabout was fair play.
More succinctly,my question was "How did Tom reconcile from his perspective mass consciousness within his belief system (which he had discussed 2 weeks prior). Apparently, I unknowingly stepped on a land mine which of course was not ever my intention. Moreover the first paragraph of Tom's response was all that was necessary for me. I just wanted to be certain since there seems to be misunderstandings that this was not about "God" , anyone's "truth" or "religion" ,but simply about one man's perspective.
