Call me crazy, but I fail to see how this disagrees with most of the ideas that have been presented on the Pavlinas' sites. Nobody is claiming that we're all born as humans with a magical ability to connect with spirits, etc. etc. (though there may be a few people like that). Take Erin's site, for example - her whole theme is about
learning to reconnect with God/Source. If you never attempt this, then
of course you're not going to know anything beyond what you experience in your physical body. Make sense?
By the way, for someone whose signature is "Question everything!", you aren't asking a lot of questions. I humbly suggest taking your own advice with your own beliefs before trying to make broad generalizations about the beliefs of others.
