I agree that no soul left behind concept.. the problem lies in every soul has free will with the same known guideline. But there in lies the problem and Andrew stated it clearly he is bringing his own parachute to be used for escape if he does like the chatter from the back.. A parachute is an escapist attitude and many many souls have it. They can neither lead nor are they able to follow, kind of like a gang mentality where they are told how to think, what to say and who to kick.. a good example might be the US legislatures. Ready to blame the other guy as they bail from the may lay they created as their platinum parachute blossoms over their heads shielding them from the poverty, disease, and hunger they created leaving no soul behind.. I think it is very true for the souls that do decide it is the path to follow. . You can lead a horse to water but you can not make them drink..

Tortured souls do present a challenge in the "no soul left behind" initiative. Sorry to keep repeating it. It somehow tickled me. I do know the tremendous challenges the no child left behind policy presented to the US school system. I wonder if the notion isn't more critical at the soul level.
