Dear Joseph,
I stumbled (of course a mere coincidence :-)) upon your site and I will continue to explore your thoughts; but my first impression is that I seem to have found a kindred spirit. One that is seeking his own „total submission” to God and is not excluding a-priori different schools of thought. I hope I will be able to benefit from some of your findings/thoughts.
I will try to touch base with you on occasion - to let you know where I am.
Thanks for now - for keeping that shred of hope that I still had in humans as being capable of finding their way (back) to God, alive!
Salaam!
