Dear Open,

I am in agreement and resonance with everything but one point you have made.

In characteristic #16, you write “there is no such thing as evil intent.” To this point I have to say, I have been the target and recipient of evil intent and this, know in my heart that it does in fact exist.

Evil intent is not a human trait, but is a spirit force that exists in this realm, is devoid of love, and wishes nothing more or less than to bring about the destruction and downfall of humanity.

Either way, whether we know or believe that evil intent exists, the 22 characteristics of a spiritual warrior that you list are, to me, perfectly described.

I would like to shine a spotlight, however, on #22, most especially: understanding the nature of love.

When we set our intention on aligning our thoughts, words, and actions with divine love, then with time, patience, sincerity and dedication, we will be led by the divine forces in this realm to learn first hand about all 22 characteristics you have described.

My personal journey to align with love (including my awakening to the existence of evil intent) is chronicled in a spiritual memoir I just released on Amazon this week called “Nine Ghosts.” I love your work, have for many years, and hope you will check it out.

In solidarity, God bless,

Mathew
