I mentioned Morrison b/c Ganj originally asked for someone who led via "a revelation of the mind." And the last time I checked, Jim was the frontman for a society that was in need of a fresh way of thinking, and a way to let loose and explore their own minds.

Ganj - - I think you might find a few whom you have connected with that might not share your same feeling, but do not be discouraged. I think it also might be a subconscious void that you spoke of, so in that sense, try some meditation followed by some soul searching.

You say you have no faith in yourself, yet you seem to be very good at identifying your problem, which will help in finding your answer. At least you know what you're looking for. Some wander for years and come up short in the end. I feel you are on the right path. You indeed do have a faith. I sense a hidden faith in you - - that what you believe is good and pure and love will flourish in the end. I would say that you are indeed very well along the road to enlightenment, but do not get discouraged - - the faith will come. Now you have to see it, whenever that may be.

I'm having some difficulty trying to word how "two souls might or might not be connected," and I'm sure it's because I'm very tired at this point. I'll get back to you after a refreshing night's sleep. Until then, take care. ~
Still remains my feelings of indifference toward thought. I perceived enlightenment to be a liberation of some kind. Yet, I'm still plagued by background noise. It's constant and I can accept it, but I don't know how to address this noise. I do not want to fall back to the stream of thoughts that consumed me before. And I do not want to ignore them reason being my thoughts are what has brought me to my senses. I'm cowardly when inquiries storm my mind. Avoidant almost. But I feel by avoiding them that I'm essentially avoiding myself. I'm stirred right now. Slap a sticker on my that says, "Don't drop. Fragile."
