---So true, curtis..; besides, "lack of a preference" can also be taken as impotence. During the 70's and ongoing for 20 years, I worked with a "Ghost Whisperer"-type medium who could travel out of her body at will. After a few years at doing preliminary types of investigations into the inner planes, we gradually discovered that there were countless entities in the astral planes just begging to get "rescued", and sent into the higher planes or into the Void. We spent many years rescuing such Souls, but I realized that entities like YHVH who claim to be "God"; are simply incompetant; and it will take Buddhists to clean up the mess of entities like YHVH who have completely botched the job.!
