And, many of the stories in the Tanackh on the sod level seem to be about the small, weak, and frightened being raised to righteousness by God.But, the fact that we continue to get so many new members demonstrates that many of us are still searching for places to articulate there longing and searching and to move to deeper dimension of interaction in the Spiritual Realm. I always liked this translation of the <a href="http://academic.brooklyn.cuny.edu/core9/phalsall/texts/taote-v3.html" target="_blank">Tao Te Ching</a><a href="http://academic.brooklyn.cuny.edu/core9/phalsall/texts/taote-v3.html" target="_blank"></a> So, Welcome, ALL and hopefully we will <a href="http://www.realsikhism.com/faq/meanings.html" target="_blank">help </a>each other in our quest.</blockquote>
