Hi Daniel,

You bring up an important point, IMHO. Is it not the responsibility 
of every student, every seeker after Truth, to decide for him/her 
self whether his or her efforts are dedicated to advancing the 
consciousness of Unity, or are dedicated to furthering the cause of 
separation? A sincere inner inquiry will bring forth an answer, and 
the student can proceed according to what he or she discovers. Is 
this not the process by which we evolve in consciousness, in self-
responsibility? It seems fairly clear that others do not have the 
right to declare whether a student is working for the cause or not. 
In any case, we each might possibly have enough to do to tend our own 
garden, without worrying about the weeds in another's garden. In 
fact, in the interest of advancing the cause we all espouse, perhaps 
the best thing we can say about each other is that everyone is doing 
the best he or she can do and leave it at that.
