Note as well that we can only truly Hear God not when we pray for<br />
ourselves but rather while we are serving others. We truly Hear God not while<br />
asking for peace for ourselves but rather while bringing Peace <strong>to</strong> the<br />
downtrodden. We truly Hear God not by begging for salvation for ourselves but<br />
rather by bringing Love <strong>to</strong> our enemies – those most in need of the same … Note<br />
<strong>to</strong>o that we are dealing here with whomever is "of God," not whomever is from<br />
God – those who are acting as agents of the Divine, not those who are verbally<br />
professing <strong>to</strong> be the same …<br />
And as a final aside, note that Paul was clearly not a man “of God” (seeing as<br />
how he was an open champion of division and passive-aggressive criticism, not Harmony<br />
or all-accepting Love) and thus he most certainly did not hear God on the Road <strong>to</strong><br />
Damascus -- nor probably at any other time, for that matter.<br />
