I have lots of articles concerning compassion on my site; <a href="http://druidjournal.net/2007/09/14/finding-purpose-and-direction-through-compassion/" rel="nofollow">here's one</a>. Also, I have no idea what you mean by "fraud". I'm not making any claims here, so I don't know how I'm being fraudulent. :-) It's interesting that you've turned up now. Generally I get pretty much zero combative or argumentative or abusive comments. However, right now I'm having a difficult personal time, in which I'm actually questioning my own integrity. Thanks for reflecting that at me, and providing a little clarity. :-) Hi John, I’m not sure what you mean. I have lots of articles concerning compassion on my site; here’s one.

I think I may have met a few. But as I said in the article, "maybe there are some spirits that are evil, but they must be young, inexperienced, and not very powerful." I stand by that. Of course, we really shouldn't be tossing around words like "evil" without being careful of what we mean. I certainly believe in Loki, and many people think he's pretty evil. I think he's rude, and possibly malicious, but he's no soul-eater, and he doesn't feed on your fear or anything like that. At the end of the final Harry Potter book, SPOILER FOLLOWS Harry gets a glimpse of part of Voldemort's soul. It's a pitiful, ragged, powerless thing. SPOILER ENDS I think that the spirits of many evil, malicious humans are similarly small and virtually helpless on the spiritual plane.
