It's OK, sorry, I thought maybe you had a magic answer, maybe something better than along the lines of the Bhagavad Gita, which I still don't think is quite good enough.
Your bio seemed to make your military service a big deal,
and it just didn't fit in my mind with your book.
I worked in the Pentagon awhile, after moving to accept a job in D.C. where they didn't tell me exactly where I would be working until I got there, but got out of it when I got the opportunity. Still, I realize that we can't entirely disconnect ourselves with the operations of our government that we don't agree with. Years ago, I also had some out-of-body experiences, some of a spiritual nature.
Anyway, I was trying to decide whether or not to buy your book.
I just ordered it.

OK - I've been unable to reconcile "service" and "unconditional love" with helping to kill people for some madman politician in search of his own glory. It is not my intention to criticize, but how do you do it?
