Please, Meet My Dearest Friend from Nizhny Novgorod, Russia!

What a good introduction, Sveta.

Thanks, Sveta.

Hi and welcome!
:)

Thanks, I left some comments.

Of course one comment I left concerned your cat.

Good to be back on gather and good to see that the beat goes on.

Thank you.

Nice to share friends!

Any friend of yours is a friend of mine! Heading there to welcome him!

Svetlana:

I've just come from having read his article and I must say, that the content certainly lived up to its title. It was very well-written. Your friend will be a wonderful addition to Gather. Thank you so much for having introduced us.

Love 2U!

Thank you Sveta
I've been to his site and have left a comment. He makes an excellent impression.

I go there next, thanks for the intro Svetlana ...

Absolutely Sveta - heading there now.

God bless you all, my dear friends - I thank you from my whole heart! ;-)

Welcome to Gather, Andrei! ;-)

Love and blessings to everyone - S.

I went, I commented, I connected. Thanks.

Thank you so much for welcoming Andrei, dear Marianne and Dena! ;-)

Love and blessings - S.

I am so pleased to make another Russian friend - and one from the very same city that my Russian pen-pal that I've known since 1988 is from.

Andrei, welcome to Gather! It sounds as if you might be familiar with Unity, the denomination of which I am a minister. I'm glad you joined our group, Spirituality Explorers. I look forward to your sharing.

and Adam seems to feel that because he considers all humans sinners, they cannot trust their own intuitions because that is subjective and most likely to lead one further astray (maybe because it is animalistic and evil to you Adam ?), the only thing trust worthy must come from two books only, and those literally only because that is the valued objective way of reading.

Thank you so very much, Jen, dear! ;-) I'm sure Andrei will be delighted to meet one of my best friends whose kindness was always a joy and a blessing for me. ;-)

Dear Carla - yeah, that's right, one of Andrei's lists is called "Unity Way". Previously, it was posted in two versions - Russian and English, but now there's only the Russian version I have subscribed to - for the materials in English, please look for "Talks on Truth" list on Google. I'm so happy to know that you're a minister of this denomination, too - what a great coincidence! ;-)

Adam - of course, my judgemental friend, you ARE too late! :-) Andrei and me have already partaken a LOT of this "spiritual cyanide" - along with pizza and Cola - sitting together in a Moscow caffee, and, how one can easily see, both are pretty much alive and well. Maybe it's Cola which makes such a difference - who knows? ;-) As for Carla, why you're so sure that her "personal experiences" are less valuable or less objective than your own? Doesn't it seem a little... presumptuous, to say the least?

Dear Jerry - you put it right, so one has nothing to add - thank you! ;-))

Blessings and warm regards to everybody - S.

BTW, I hope you would't mind if I leave two links for dear Carla and other friends who may be interested in Unity Way in general and Andrei's lists in particular:
