Re: Elemental Equilibrium and Incarnations

["dato1848" <dato1848@...>]

Dear Rawn,

You said, "There will actually be a greater moral commonality 
between two astrally Equilibrated individuals than two who are not 
and who therefore rely upon an external moral code, be it cultural 
or religious." 
You used the world "commonality". Can I conclude from this that 
morality of two Equilibrated individuals will not necessarily be 
INDENTICAL, since they both have different internal truths? 

Thanks,
David
