Dear Dan,

A hermit from other adepts? Perhaps (only as a result of 
circumstance, as I fail to see any reason for it to be necessary), 
but never a hermit from fellow men. The way I see it, being a part 
of human society, both on the interpersonal and on the communal 
level, is an integral part of the human experience while incarnated 
(perhaps even while discarnated, but it's way to early for me to 
have any knowledge of that ;).
I believe that to forsake that part of our lives is not only 
detrimental to our personal progress (I find it very difficult to 
understand how one can strive to oneness with the All while 
distancing himself from humanity, which is after all, a part of the 
All :), but also contrary to the essential principle of balance.

I am sorry if you didn't mean all that in your post, but I felt a 
strong urge to write this as I read your words, regardless of their 
real intention; I am too familiar with the desire to seperate 
oneself from society, and by now, also quite aware of how wrong such 
an act is.

Sincerely,
Daniel
