Jerry, you got that right! 

"....How do you think that way and still have inner peace?...."  You want my honest answer to that question? LOL!

If Jonx is any indicator, and I have no reason to "believe" otherwise, what premies have is not even close to peace.  What they possess are minds that have twisted and turned so many different ways that a pretzel factory wouldn't even be able to duplicate the pattern.  They are angry (obviously).  I suspect that is due to the fact that they haven't received that which was promised and, subconsciously, know it. 

It is amazing to me how much actual peace I have experienced since my departure from the cult.  I'm talking the real thing here.  How?  By doing normal human activities and appreciating them for what they are.  Sometimes my wife gets a little jealous of my "love affair with the stars."  Not really, but she pokes fun at me about it sometimes..... LOL!  She knows, full well, that my mental health relies upon being able to think and actually doing it.   If I don't have something "serious" to think about, scientifically, she says I get a bit testy.  Well, there is some truth to that. 

To tell you the truth, I get some of my best thinking done when I am in a quiet (read that: peaceful) environment.  Out in the forest, while trout fishing, that kind of thing.  Quite frankly, that is where I came up with my latest hypothesis and was able to flesh out a paper in my head.  Peace isn't just internal...... it is an external thing and that is the part that M completely ignores.  Quite frankly, I don't think it is even possible to have internal peace without some semblence of external peace..... FIRST!
