[QUOTE="gideonpepys, post: 7582750, member: 79141"] [b]Session 219, Part Two - A Rare Opportunity for Reflection[/b] Gupta wished that Uriel and Leon were there, so she could talk to them about religious belief in general and Vekeshi Mysticism in particular. She tried to talk with Thurgid about it – about being the forward arm of a religious movement, but he did not appreciate the attention, or the implication that he had any real free will or choice in the matter.
